I still feel super bad to this day for that script I forgot to edit where Joel died in the last cutscene. I actually had that fixed but kept multiple different copies of my map at different states and submitted the one with that mistake. Now I think my map was kinda bad and I tried a lot of different ambitious shit considering it was my first map instead of just keeping stuff simple but well, at least I shaped the idea I had in my mind for so long.

Bauul Posted December 28, 2018 @Benjogami When testing Dragonfly's map we had a lot of similar discussions about balancing. Joel is a pretty distracted player because he's more focused on chatting to his audience than playing the wad as best he possibly can. Which is fine, but it means you have to really cater for that specific audience. DF heavily nerfed his map, and then heavily nerfed it again, to the extent anyone here would find it too easy (indeed a lot of the feedback received when it was released was that it was too easy) but Joel thought the balance was really good. It's kind if the price you pay for making a map that works well in that specific situation. If Joel found it too hard it means most people here will probably find it just right. So it doesn't mean it's a bad map, just not right for the specific audience. 1 Share this post Link to post

VanaheimRanger Posted December 29, 2018 Mr. Icarus thought it could stand to be a bit harder...that should tell you something ;) Either way, I quite enjoyed the map, the combat was fun, but not a supreme challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post
leodoom85 Posted December 29, 2018 It definitely needs to be harder, at least for the boss. The map is fine though. 2 Share this post Link to post
RolfTheWhatever Posted January 9, 2019 https://twitter.com/joel_vinesauce/status/1082823172133715968 List of the remaining maps was posted on Twitter. Mine's not on it though, and I have suspicions that I was disqualified but I have no idea why. :T 0 Share this post Link to post

valkiriforce Posted January 9, 2019 I'm #261 on that list (lostdreams.wad) but it's crossed out. Does that mean I was disqualified or was it already played? 0 Share this post Link to post
DFF Posted January 9, 2019 I couldn't say, but i feel like your name was mentioned at some point in the streams (I've been sifting through all of them to see if mine was played yet), it may have been played. If the map were described I might remember. 31 minutes ago, valkiriforce said: I'm #261 on that list (lostdreams.wad) but it's crossed out.

valkiriforce Posted January 9, 2019 It was a bit rushed since I had only 5 days left or so by the time I got to working on it, so it's nothing too spectacular but it has a dark night atmosphere and almost all of the monsters are somewhat randomized teleports since I wanted to toy around with the idea of random encounters, but the timing to work out and refine it were just too close to the deadline so I submitted it as-is. 0 Share this post Link to post
DFF Posted January 9, 2019 Hmm maybe, did the map require only one of the three keys to exit? 0 Share this post Link to post
DMPhobos Posted January 9, 2019 Im gonna throw a random guess about that list and the wads that look grey and crossed out... but i think it looks like that because it could be an html link that was clicked before 0 Share this post Link to post
valkiriforce Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Yeah actually, it only needed one of any of the three keys to exit. By the way the map can be played here: http://www.doomshack.org/uploads/lostdreams.wad 0 Share this post Link to post

If I had to guess, crossed out entries on the list are ones that have been played since he made the list. @valkiriforce https://www.twitch.tv/videos/357958573?t=07h09m 1 Share this post Link to post

Kitty Posted March 20, 2019 Joel mentioned the contest on his last stream but didn't say anything about when. But he did say that he goes on vacation in a month. So either its done this month or postponed till May fml. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I've reached out to him on the contest's testers' Discord but no response yet. 3 Share this post Link to post
CyberDreams Posted March 20, 2019 I've seen a few of the live streams but i've been wondering this as well. I'm currently finishing watching the final video of the 2016 (first) mapping contest so i still have a LONG way to go before i catch up to the current 2018 mapping contest videos. Thankfully he uploads everything to youtube. I never watched his video's before a couple of months ago but i find his Doom streams to be pretty funny & interesting so i watch his Twitch from time to time now. He seems like a pretty cool dude. I'm just not really into the whole "meme" thing that his community seems to be into. 0 Share this post Link to post
SaladBadger Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) It's coming, it would appear. edit: It appears he attempted tonight, but his internet continued to be bad so he wasn't able to do it. He'll try again tomorrow, hopefully his net will stop being terrible. Edited March 22, 2019 by SaladBadger 6 Share this post Link to post
