Synthwave Doom Mega Wad: UPDATE

[BlackMetalChainsaw]

It has been some time since I have posted an update on my megawad. I have been working really hard on the maps (they take a while). Since I am a perfectionist... I spend a lot, if not too much, time making sure that all of the details are in check. 

There is a lot of hype about my wad and I'm really excited that it is loved by so many of you. Thank you for your support. 

Here are some screenshots of my current progress on the fourth map (I now have 6)

 

AND..... here is a video that you can watch with some music from the artist who allowed me to use his music for my WAD.

 

Not sure if I will use this exact song, but it seems to fit pretty well.

Perturbator was kind enough to allow me access to his music for this wad... IT will truly make it come to life. Anyway, thanks for reading this. Subscribe and what not if you'd like to see more updates on this wad. I am also posting it more frequently on a facebook group called... Doom WAD Archive. Feel free to join and post as you wish.

This looks awesome. I remember your initial screenshots were promising too, but everything really seems to be coming together now.

Ooh, now THIS looks fucking sweet! Definitely keeping my eyes on this. 

[NecrumWarrior]

Out of curiosity, what format are you mapping for? 

[Merry Widow]

This is VERY beautiful! :D :D :D

I think they use udmf ,because of 3d floors.

 

Anyway,I would love to see texture pack combined with megawad. It looks cool. Doom needs colours like this.

Freaking awesome! 

[Death Egg]

Very nice, you should make a custom hud to match the synthwave aesthetic.

love the screenshots! how many maps are going to be in this project?

A megawad. I know about this,because they post about their wad in doom groups in fb. You should check it.

May be it needs some new monsters/things? To match the textures.

Have to say, to build whole megawad by self it's very time-consuming, need plenty ideas, and also can be tiresome. Many people started their projects but later they are abandoned them.

[Jimmy]

Fuck yes.

[Pirx]

Beautiful! Very Ancient Aliens like colors.

[Pinchy]

It looks fantastic but I would recommend studying some wads with challenging and clever traps to improve the combat a bit.

 

It's a challenge building such a nice appearance whilst also having clever mechanisms and trap placement, I have one map right now where it's had me stuck for a while trying to get it right.

good color

 

video looked easy as hell, make it much harder (and interesting). fill up those rooms with something challenging instead of 1 imp per square mile

[Ed_Deth]

can't wait

 

[Mánibranðr System]

The simplicity of the geometry is what makes this project interesting to me.

[DoodGuy]

Ooh boy, can't wait. You could ask M.O.O.N. for some songs that could fit in. Hydrogen comes in mind.

[Reisal]

This is totally groovy!

[ShoDemo]

It looks like a beautiful wad is being made here.

Also, is the song in the video you posted from Hotline Miami? I am asking, because I loved those 2 games and it reminds me quite a bit, but I am not 100% sure.

[The Ultimate DooMer]

Awesomeness. Just needs some neon-lit city maps with horror/satanic elements thrown in with the dark future/cyberpunk stuff. (esp. if you have Perturbator's backing)

[BlackMetalChainsaw]

I am using UDMF, and the song is "Future Club" by Perturbator... I'm not sure if it is on Hotling Miami as I haven't listened to the whole OST. But I know that there are Perturbator songs on that OST. I was just told about M.O.O.N by my team mate Camoduke. I may in fact do so. 

When I made this video, I was making it to show off the look, not how many enemies would be in the map. I added them in last minute to make the video more interesting. Thank you though. I promise that I wouldn't leave that big of a space without a decent amount of enemies.

 

As for HUDs, powerups, enemies and such. I will have to work on it later. I have been focusing on the maps for now and I will eventually make some cool ass shit to put with it. I have had an idea for a custom HUD since I began working. 

 

Thanks everyone!

Future Club was used in Hotline Miami 2.

 

It's awesome that Perturbator let you use some of his music, by the way. I was hoping to do the same for a project in the future ;)

[PsychoGoatee]

Looking forward to this, great concept and cool looking execution. I also liked that early stuff you showed a while ago that looked sort of like it was set in a night club or something like that.

[Percival232]

Hmmmmm Oh Yes
