Thanx for the playthrough Vile - top stuff!

--- Download THEME-GAWAD Here: thgawd01.rar --- Welcome fellow DOOMers. What you can see here is a labour of love from a variety of mappers, beginner to pro. The concept behind it? Each mapper has taken a specific theme, and then tried to make something nice looking, but also fun, within specific confines (3072*3072 Grid or Smaller, bar some exceptions, and stock textures-only). This Doom II megawad is divided between chapters of varying difficulty, with each chapter using specific monsters and enemies, with the purpose of the whole thing feeling like a gradually more challenging adventure. While this is playable from pistol-start, it is mean to be experienced continuously in UV as it has been balanced for that purpose and that purpose alone. Now, this begun at a period where I had way more free time (lock-downs and so on), so progress was super-fast initially, but life got in the way, so things slowed down a bit. Thankfully, few abandoned the project, and thus we are very happy to offer you THEME-GAWAD - a set of levels aimed at those who want something a bit more "traditional" in terms of gameplay, and with a severely less steep challenge. The project was always meant to be a simple one; a chance for mappers of all skills to have some mapping fun. Having said that, there are some genuine masterpieces here. Have fun playing, and drop a post or two if you like what you see. Cheers!

For me :D The final release will happen somewhere close to 11/01 as this week is way too busy for me.

Personally I don't like heavy modding. When I play WADs I do so because I want more Doom. If I want to play another game entirely... I'll play another game entirely.

@ViolentBeetle Thanx for noticing the second issue - the first I've known for some time, never got around fixing it. As for the ammo thingy, this map's task it to be a "palate cleanser" that will somewhat decrease the ammo acquired from previous maps. It's doable, though, as long as you use ammo cleverly.

Team They only map I occasionally get glitches is MAP25 I can't reproduce them, though. If you get a chance do play the map a bit so you can point out any issues - IDDQD through it :)

I'll keep it as it is because frankly it looks great this way. While the sky is the earth it looks super cool, whereas a simple texture will make this place look bad.

Uploaded a new file with some fixes (small flaws as well as small rebalancing) Team, whenever you want to test your stuff do it with the posted file, not the originals you have in your system. Notify me of any issues and I'll try fixing them. Thanx.

Of course. I'll make a new announcement thread.

Thanx for being part of the whole deal! Practice (and feedback) makes perfect, so I'm glad we helped a little

No problemo - do I have your permission to use another midi - I don't mind keeping the one you've given me, though...

Ok, semi-final file uploaded. Everything besides the logo are ready. The project will reach its end at the end of 2022 Thanx to everyone for participating!

We are not cool kids. We are based kids. We do things retro. For now...

Okay people, hopefully this will be the penultimate update: 1) I've posted the complete Megawad, which includes my own MAP26 - Check it out and notify me of any issues 2) It includes the text file that will accompany the final project file - if you find any errors do point them out 3) Also notify me of any issues with other maps - please don't send any reworks of your maps. We'll work on what has been uploaded Now for the final step: I'll create the names/intermission text - if anyone can help, please take the logo from the original post, and place it on the title screen. If you feel talented enough you can send a variation of yours, but please keep the basic texture and colour scheme. @Demonic Meatball if you find the time write something more ominous/imposing for MAP26 - but we can still use 'Doom Dance' @Jakub Majewski please send over the final art for the title screen - of course you can always send a variation if another idea pops up. THANX!!!
