Here is my slaughter map submission 

 

 

-demo is included

Map name: Amide Linkage

Tested with: prboom+

compatibility : boom (complevel 9)

download and demo :Amidelinkage.zip

time taken : 1 day 

Sky texture used is stock doom texture , the firelava textures give a really nice hell-like effect 

Screenshot:

 

 

Awesome map. Only thing that is probably bad is the fact that doing it quickly requires using the invul to hit that switch, and hitting it in time, or while leaving enough invul left over to use it efficiently, is unreliable while being jostled around by so much stuff. Something to keep in mind for future maps.

Wow! Great play on your challenging map.

[CarboxylicAcids]

Thanks for the feedback! I will keep that in mind @rdwpa

[DAZZER]

Here's my contribution. It is the third Map in my mighty, well known ⁽ᶰᵒᵇᵒᵈʸ ᶜᵃʳᵉˢ⁾ "Nephilim" Series.

This Time however It's in Boom Format. Have Fun.

Looks really cool, reminds me of mkmines.wad

[StormCatcher.77]

Architecture is very well done. Looks fresh to me. Really good use of stock textures.
Map is pretty hard in some places and makes you see the danger in every corner. I was kill myself by a rocket in a room with blue key at first attempt, and no save a demo... In general, really cool work.

heyo

looking back through Northern Powerhouse in the editor I've noticed a teleporter ambush has become unattached from the map in terms of sound - there's no way of triggering it. without edits the map is impossible to max. WITH edits the map is only mostly impossible to max :)))

 

(joining sectors 1247 and 795 would fix it)

 

i'm not petitioning against the "no edits" rule cos I realize this is solely my fault, but I'm wondering if the maps will receive a final pass before being released?

[TimeOfDeath666]

I think you know the answer :)

Too bad, since someone is inevitably going to complain that the map "can't be maxed," but I understand ToD's stance.

 

Ultimately, I would be shocked if yakfak's map ends up being the only map with some sort of unfixed error that slipped through the cracks.

[Dragonfly]

Sorry to say - I'm backing out of this one. I've decided I would rather use the map for my own megawad as it is architecturally appropriate.

Sad to see only 5 submissions at this time...

Gee, if you've been following previous DMP threads submissions usually come during the last 3-4 months of the year, so nothing to worry (yet).

[TimeOfDeath666]

btw, if submissions are still low by the end of the year, next year's project will have the same rules :)

[riderr3]

Actually I need to finish my own mapset first. There is 2 and half levels needs to be done + improving. I have a plenty ideas for DWMP2018, I even have the cool name for it.

Also to warn players, existing bugs can be specified in txt file which comes with the wad. If someone have significant bugs in their map.

That's true enough, but @DanielAlexander has a point that after 5 months (22 weeks, this will be meaningful later), this CP only has 5 submissions.

 

If you go back and look at past DMPs, you'll find there were far more submissions at this point.

2013: 21 (the OP in this one was posted in mid-July, so the equivalent percentage of the year completed would be early October, around 10 or 11 weeks)

2014: 9

2015: 13

2016: 7 (the OP for this one was in mid-September, so the equivalent percentage of the year completed would have been around Halloween, so just 6 or 7 weeks later)

2017: 21

 

I left out 2012, because it didn't list a date the map was submitted or link to a post and I didn't want to go through 9 pages of the thread to count the links. If anyone is industrrious enough to go page by page through the threads and finds that these numbers are wrong, that's fine. I think that they are, at the very least, close to accurate.

 

There were a number of people that complained about the rules. You could say that that is the reason for fewer submissions, but scifista's DOP CP Doomworld Omega Project has a much more relaxed rule set and that CP currently has 1 submission. So, I don't think the lack of submissions is down to dissatisfaction with ToD's rules.

 

Maybe it's like Catpho said, there will just be a flurry in the last third or quarter (or month) of the year.

That's not a bad idea, especially given the one submission rule. That way, if someone does find a game-breaking bug or a bug preventing you from maxing a level or something else, there will be a way to warn players in advance.

Edited June 16, 2018 by Pegleg : Replace DOP CP with Doomworld Omega Project to eliminate confusion.

And think about the other (unofficial) version: 

this made me think that I still made nothing for it...

I know what you mean. I intend to make something for both. I'm just a very slow mapper and I can only work on maps in short bursts of time sporadically.

 

But I will get both of them finished by the deadlines.

[TimeOfDeath666]

If people are getting freaked out about the rules, I would suggest just making a simpler map without spending too much time on it so that you won't be too annoyed if there ends up being bugs in it. The final compilation is going to be pretty cool with every mapper showing how to beat their own map in a demo and the more mappers the better.

[Roofi]

I started a map in january but I gave up. So I made an another joke-slaughter map instead. :) I have to do some corrections but everything is doable.

 

DOWNLOAD (v1)

 

Update of my map , the v1 can't be launched on  DOS due to a strange error message and also has a little VPO area. The V2 makes the map DOS compatible but my demo can't be played on it.

 

 

DOWNLOAD (v2)

 

Edit : Oops , I forgot the rule 2. I don't know if it's possible to keep the v2 even if I did my demo on the v1 considering I edited my map just after recording my demo in order to not have to do an another. My map will be limit-removing instead of vanilla if not possible.

Anybody else started on this, yet? I've decided to revist the Broundry theme for a section of my map. This area might even be vanilla compatible, but the map will be limit-removing by the time I'm done with it.

 

 

The plan was to chain four small maps together here and make one generously sized map. However, I finished the first segment and moved onto something else for what looks like six months, so I've decided to cull the plan and just submit the first section, which is a nice easy MAP01 sort of set-up. I've done a no-secrets demo with 100% kills, to fit the rules but keep some of the more exciting bits to be discovered. I'll concede that it's a crap demo which shows I barely use prboom+ at all.

 

Broundry 2

Build Time: 6 hours

[riderr3]

@TimeOfDeath666
It's ok if I use IoS in my map? (only bossbrain without monster spawner. To beat the map)

Also keens for optional pathway.

[TimeOfDeath666]

Yeah absolutely, go nuts :)

[Garbage]

My map's called SPASE BASE, I based it off e1m1 and has similar difficulty. Build time was around 2-3 hours.

 

Vanilla map, tested in Chocolate Doom and PrBoom+

Demo recorded with PrBoom+ 2.5.1.4, just a quick run-through on HMP

Music is a midi of Jump by Van Halen

 

Has coop and DM starts

Edited July 29, 2018 by Garbage : we all make mistakes

[TimeOfDeath666]

Garbage, your demo is complevel 3, could you record a new demo in complevel 2 please?

[Garbage]

Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up

[TimeOfDeath666]

Ok great, thanks for the new submissions you guys!

[Walter confetti]

Sure somebody here really likes COMPSTA textures...

 

Dumb jokes aside, map looks nice, garbage!

[riderr3]

Progress of my map.

If you look carefully, you can find spectre here.


Toilet waste made from sky...
