Is this rule applicable for the first episode (shareware)?

These screens are sweet, KDiZD better than ever. Keep it up.

The shareware's only difference is that you aren't allowed to make a wad that does this:

doom1 -file whatever.wad

The shareware's levels are under id's copyright just like all the others; that you can download them for free doesn't make them public domain or anything like that.

As for those rejections; yes, wads can get rejected for being mere id level hacks. Is KDiZD that? It doesn't seem so by the screen shots and the description. In any case Ty has to verify it to judge, and that's going to happen only once it's released.

Like we have not heard that before...

You can't because it never was.

Apart from the basic layout there isn't much left of the originals so imo this is brand new stuff and I can't see any reason why this project should be rejected oh wait this has probably been said allready.

*Waits patiently for the release of KDiZD :p*

Linguica wins the thread

On a related note thanks for screens and put up more soon..

Please don't put up anymore pics. Instead, just finish the wad so I can play it. In the meantime, everyone else can bitch and moan. Give me something worthwhile to look at for a change or I just dont give a shit

Seemed to have been uploaded to the archive with no trouble, AND it got a cacoaward in 2004...

If deathz0r doesn't get this /newstuff review it's going to be a god damned crime.

From phobos-v.txt:

Base                    : Nine levels from scratch.

It does not use id's levels as a base, and therefore would never have been questionable at all.

Considering he's the only one doing /newstuff now, it would be impossible for him not to.

No more volunteers? People are getting fed up? What, is the community dying? :P

Yeah. The community is going down like NewDoom. It probably wouldn't have happened if you idiots had donated more money to Doomworld via paypal!

I agree with Ralphis. We don't need to see anymore pics tp know it's going to be worth downloading and playing.

At least the quantity and quality of new maps has declined drastically over the last few months. I can't remember many good releases this year.

Most of the big releases come out around August - October. I've done the Cacowards for a while now and the big releases always come out in the summer or later in the year. I say the same thing to myself every year "There are no good releases" but take a look at every year I've done it, there has been at least 2 big project released. Quality and Quantity delining? Probably not, it has been stagnant for about 5 years.

vote dn for newstuff that week.

Last year you awarded 3 WADs that were released in the first week of January so this is hardly true...

Anyway, my list of 2007 WADs that is worth keeping is definitely much shorter than any other year at the same time.

Pseudo spoiler: In the credit page you can see a list of the new monsters. I can't wait to see them, there's a pair that particulary got my attention. Keep it up! A serious team you have in there.

We have a Paypal account?!

Money won't buy members will they?

It would if we were paid a nickel for every post!

The community is falling because 2007 is only 1/3 over and there haven't been as many releases as the entirety of last year!!

Let's hope KDiZD won't be Daikatana Two or Doom 3 Two. Whatever might have been Daikatana or Doom 3, though I recall they got low ratings because of unwanted and unscheduled delays.

Like donating money to an website is going to stop an community from going downhill, doom is an old game and has alot of competition from newer games I guess the community will get smaller each year.

But we still have alot of large projects to look forward to like this one, you gotta have an special thing with doom to keep interested in it.

I somehow doubt that there are many people here that would abandon Doom for more modern games. Those most likely have left years ago.

Hello, someone summoned me into this thread while I've been trying to stay away from it!

I've been pretty vocal in the past about not being interested in playing rehashed maps and I don't want to repeat myself again about that.

About the whole copyright crap, while I agree with myk, Scuba is right in nobody important giving a shit.

Oh god, not this again

i dunno man, you've gotten to be a pretty decent, fair (and honest) reviewer in recent times. so if KDiZD is as un-"rehashed" as they're saying it is, i think it might be worth it to play through it and review it.
