VINESAUCE DOOM MAPPING CONTEST 2.

[therektafire]

Did my map get played, I didn't get notified by twitch for some dumbass reason so I was only able to watch the last 2 maps

[Misty]

I don't think so, maybe next time?

[hardcore_gamer]

I still feel terrible about my map. I busted my ass for like 2 weeks for it only to end up with 2 min of gameplay because I ran out of time. And even those 2 min are filled with unfinished looking areas. Biggest fail ever :(

[DMPhobos]

My map was played on this stream :)
It sure was interesting how he played it, specially how joel completely ignored the minigun custom weapon and how he missed a door in a dark area the first time he entered the blue zone, lots of interesting feedback for a couple of changes im gonna do before releasing the map here, but im glad he liked it and i enjoyed seeing it being played, i had a big stupid grin on my face while he was playing it

I believe that @Grimosaur wad was played too, good stuff man. It's good to see some maps that people shared here are beginning to be featured on stream

From what i managed to catch on stream, i don't think he plated yours, but i had to stop the stream during the wad with the weird eastern folk music, so it could have been played after that but i don't know. Im gonna have to see the vod later to see what else was featured

The end of my map is kind of similar, the beginning is fine for the most part but I ran out of time at the final parts so I just went with a simple bfg spam fight in a large flat arena area which looks really amateurish :/ And if he doesn't play the fixed version I sent him in his email then the enemies that are supposed to teleport in for the fight won't come out and the wall blocking the exit won't lower :( And you can probably get about 5mins of gameplay out of it at most, and less depending on whether you want to max it or not

@DMPhobos man that arch-vile encounter was cool, did you change the floor texture too or was that just an illusion from removing some of the fog?

 

also i'd love it if i could ask him to play my map when i'm watching stream, but i don't want to be pushy, plus DM got the honor and i feel like that case shouldn't come up often, even if i would much prefer that my map came up when i'm free to direct joel

[SaladBadger]

I am very glad he was pleased with my map. I was worrying way too much that I had way too much crap going on, but it looks like it wasn't that big of a deal.

[DMPhobos]

I did changed the floor textures to a rocky one, the level fog stayed the same, but by changing the skybox fog to make it a bit red it gave the illusion that the level fog was red too. I kinda half regret inserting the archvile death message joke, since joel was enjoying the map and was commenting about how it was a good use of an archvile before the message showed up. That message was a last minute addition before i uploaded the map, but oh well lol

It really caught me of guard that he chose my map at that moment and announced it the way he did lol, dunno why, maybe because i was on chat before the stream went up talking about the contest with some viewers and he must have noticed me there since he dropped a comment before he went live, but i do agree that he should sometimes pick maps from people present on chat like he did with mine and with the last one played, it would have helped the stream with the foggy town to have the author on chat at that moment

[Grimosaur]

Spoiler

 

I'm watching the recorded stream as Joel is playing my map right now... he just cheesed the level and climbed up the rocks. Actually, he won't be able to do it this way anyway because you need the red key... hmm... this will be interesting...

...Ok it's fine, he didn't go in there yet. Either I needed to make that cave more noticable or Joel is just BLIND.

Ok, at the """""Door Trap""""" now. I didn't actually make this right, I mapped the door opening to the sort of panel that the key is sitting on instead of the key itself and there is a way to cheese it and not trigger the doors to open which screws over lots of enemies later on and misses out on a HiLaRiOuS pRaNk...

Yup, that reaction is pretty much what I expected.

Oh nice he actually found the 'bloody foot prints into the wall secret', I was expecting him to just sprint past them, it's a good thing he went back there then.

It seems that Joel is absolutely horrible at knowing where to go, I thought this map was pretty simple when I was making it. It is fun watching the chat going "JOEL BLIND" though.

Uh Oh, why did you save right after pressing the switch. R.I.P.

 

 

Woah, I didn't expect my map to be played this early, and also he pronounced my username correctly this time so that's a plus too.

I really feel like I should have added more blood in the map though... ehh, maybe next time.

By the way, I've actually patented the 'bloody footprints through the wall' secret idea, so if you use it in your wad then expect to get lawsuits up the ass.

@DMPhobos What point on the VOD does he play your map?  

[DMPhobos]

Oh, VOD it's up

Mine starts about the 43:47 mark, right after InsanityBringer's map

[haykovsky]

any vinesauce mods here?, i wanna know for what you can get disqualified because i used some other peoples stuff but i credited them of course, also its a .pk3, i really hope it doesnt get disqualified i worked hard on it, i wanna see joels opinion

[Dragonfly]

As far as I'm aware nobody affiliated with Vinesauce is a member here. You can submit PK3 format, and you can use other people's stuff with credits. If you couldn't a lot of the stuff already shown on stream wouldn't have got through.

[haykovsky]

oh shit it's dragonfly, love your content <3

[DMPhobos]

Mine was a pk3 file and was played last time, so you should be fine, as far as i know they are only disqualifying stuff with porn or maps that can't be finished

[Benjogami]

Joel is currently ~30 minutes into playing GTA: San Andreas, but Doom contest is in the stream title, so I'm guessing it'll happen within a couple hours:

Well...after watching the Doom stream, I'll say that this time, 5 maps were played but with solid gameplay flow/detail/ambience. I liked it honestly.

Solid stream overall featured by the map content...

[DMPhobos]

Yeah, even if there were a few maps, id say this stream had a stronger selection of maps, of the bunch my favorite was @Plusw map, it had a cool theme and i loved the ending archvile tease and end text, really good stuff, next map was also pretty good, felt a bit long at the end but it was good

Good stream

[Plusw]

Here are the two original music tracks from my map.

[Misty]

Awww, I missed this part of stream. Oh well, I'll check vod and see what he played yesterday. 

[haykovsky]

joel mentioned smoothdoom in this stream, which i used in my map, i wonder how he will react to it

[hardcore_gamer]

I haven't watched the stream but looking at the time video it looks like this Doom stream is only an hour and 15 min. Joel will have to do better than this if he wants to get through all the levels some time this year.

Not sure why you would add smoothdoom into your wad. It's just a optional graphics mod that has nothing to do with the level. I don't think he will give you any extra points for it.

He mentioned he was tired at that point and was late on the art, while i would prefer a longer stream, one thing that happened the previous contest was that on the longer streams he would get really exhausted and it would show on the commentary not to mention that by that point he would start to speedrun every map, so it's understandable that he decided to cut this stream short, i would had hated to see my map played on that conditions. Also Joel mentioned he had completed 42 maps already so if you consider that it's been only a month so far, the streams are going at a good pace so far

[Dragonfly]

I think it's the merging of content in one stream that is likely to irk people. Joel's gone on stream saying "Mondays will be Doom map streams", and then they end up being three parts GTA, two parts Doom, one part fan art.

 

Regardless, as you say - playing over one map per day isn't too bad. At t pace of 40 maps / month, we'll see the full 300 in the course of 7 - 8 months. I wouldn't be surprised if Joel does a couple of longer length streams here and there to bump up the pace, too. :)

[DFF]

I kinda wish that at the beginning of each stream, he'd try and list at least the next 10 maps he will try and play. I enjoy the streams thoroughly but i think many people would prefer something simple like that so they can be on when their map will be played.

Well, he said at the beginning of yesterday's stream that he would play at least 9 maps but due of tiredness he did half of it.

My problem is not how many he streams, but i'd like to know which maps in particular he would be streaming, like by name.

Ah, depending of whatever list he has....ok

I wish he picked random maps from people on chat at the moment of the stream more often

[bioshockfan90]

I'd just want all the submissions downloadable at some point, waiting however many months it'll be seems like a bit much
