So am I actually a box with eyes, or just a lurking sewer gator?

Yep, I noticed it some time ago and couldn't believe it took me so long to pay any attention to it.

I don't think I've ever seen a game where anything short of achieving a world record counts as a failure... and setting a world record just earns you a small happy chirp and a tick mark like "okay, that's adequate enough". Now that's how you make a game called "perfectionist"! Good thing there's a separate counter tracking your personal best, or it would just be depressing. Maybe a personal best could be noted on the ending screen, too! How about adding a tracker showing how many times the current record has been overtaken? That could be a fun thing to know, and make some victories extra satisfying. And another thought I just had - how about a second "high" score counter that displays the highest point number ("worst" score) on the current board? All the same rules, but a different objective. Wouldn't that be interesting.

Nice. I got the daily world record on my first try, and now I tried five more times and couldn't replicate my score. If only I remembered what I did the first time.

Huh, I never thought about something like the last bit! I'd just use an ACS script for anything that does more than one thing at once. But this could be a fun fast method for simple but novel stuff like this. (I gotta say though, I hate it when the dormant flag gets used in this way, on easily visible and shootable enemies. Feels super awkward)

I love this ceiling! This is my favorite kind of detail, simple yet distinctive. As for me... I made 19 maps out of 30. Last year I made 3, so that's nice! It's still in the works, but if anyone wants to check out an unfinished version, here it is: 3IAC_prerelease1.zip Feedback is much appreciated. It's a vanilla-compatible megawad-wannabe with three protagonists, changing points of view (I made the story-relevant levels first, so you'll see the entire story if you play this now) and an unique gimmick on almost every level. It seems that I haven't shared any screenshots on Doomworld yet, so here's a few:

This should be interesting.

Looks real nice! Certainly a lot less symmetɘmmyƨ.

If you had the misfortune of playing DooD, you'd understand. And your new zombibmoz rifif sprite was very reminiscent of it.

I guess I could have accounted for the fact that the cyberdemon was busy shooting a wall at point blank range... at least I assume it was that, and not the much more unlikely scenario of actually telefragging a rocket. Then again, I had unlikely things happen to me before... like being killed by an archvile and having it die at the same time from its own attack's blast radius.

I just telefragged a cyberdemon... and STILL got killed by that same cyberdemon's rocket. FFS.

That's a lot of people starting off with big and famous stuff! I just searched "vanilla" in the idgames search engine (because I only had Chocolate Doom and didn't feel like installing anything else at the time) and got Data Center. A real fun little thing. Then I downloaded ZDoom solely to play Mock 2.

Great idea! I love when fundamental stuff gets challenged like that.
