I got stuck on map09. I got the red and yellow keys and then couldn't find a spot for the yellow key. I liked everything that I had seen though, impressive detailing and perfect difficulty. There was a bridge I fell through on map07. Playing with gzdoom 3.4.1. That's the only bug I found.

Thanks for the response. I uploaded my journey if you want to check it out. After dying to yet another instakill pit I'm officially done with the wad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6PRoOrrXGY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNSY8qDCwkc

I'm big into TV. I spend most of my free time watching. It's amazing how much you can get through when you playback at 1.75x speed. Here's a list https://www.myepisodes.com/timewasted/189606/ Stuff that's currently airing: Ray Donovan Counterpart Some shows are coming back this month: Brooklyn 99 Future Man Catastrophe Corporate Shameless I'm currently rewatching The Simpsons and Seinfeld, on season 7 of each. Some shows that are relatively unknown and I highly suggest: Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7212136/?ref_=adv_li_tt The Chi https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6294706/?ref_=adv_li_tt Get Shorty https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5761496/?ref_=adv_li_tt Corporate https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5648202/?ref_=adv_li_tt Chance https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5620076/?ref_=adv_li_tt Trial & Error https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5511512/?ref_=adv_li_tt Descendants of the Sun https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4925000/?ref_=adv_li_tt The Detour https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4903242/?ref_=adv_li_tt Impastor https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4543708/?ref_=adv_li_tt The Grinder https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4481322/?ref_=adv_li_tt The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1695989/?ref_=adv_li_tt Childrens Hospital https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1325113/?ref_=adv_li_tt Sledge Hammer! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090525/?ref_=adv_li_tt Wentworth https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2433738/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Nathan for You https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2297757/ My IMDb https://www.imdb.com/user/ur40211592/?ref_=nb_usr_prof_0

I've played the first 2 levels so far. Insane attention to detail. Very difficult on UV due to clever enemy placement. Even though the levels are huge I'm not getting lost. I wish the levels had more room to move around in and the instant death pit near the end of map02 annoyed me. Make sure you save often when playing this one. It's clear a ton of work went into this and I hope it doesn't go unnoticed. Update: I'm now up to map06. The western theme of map03 was an interesting diversion. Map04 was quite laggy for some reason, at least in the beginning and it ended with me sidestepping into another instant death sector, this time a part of the floor that just decided to kill me. This was right near the end of the map. Very dickish indeed. Map05 took a while to beat due to waiting for more guys to spawn in. The end was pretty cool though, fighting 2 previous bosses at once. BTW, if you want your wad to be seen and played more you might want to start replying to people in your thread.

This is pretty hardcore. It reminds me of Hell Revealed.

You'll have better luck on the zdoom forums. For custom inventory items you need to use decorate. You can look at any mod that has such code and learn by looking, that's how most people learn I expect. https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:CustomInventory

Contrary to popular belief, Guncaster is actually easier on slaughtermaps due to gold overload. You can essentially just buy extremespheres and sprint through each level killing every room near instantly.

Going Down

I love these simple maps, you can't get lost. You can get through 32 maps in a short amount of time. It gets quite difficult, surprised me. Much harder than zone 300. My first death was when the 9 barons lowered from the walls. The second was the Mancubus room where they spawn all around you. I really don't see how someone can survive that one. The later levels keep piling it on but by that time I was decked out, playing Guncaster. Video if interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edgPd4pHwEI

Hellbound Dark Encounters

This, like all your work, was great. Just rampaged my way through it. I only got lost once. I believe it was map07, I couldn't get the yellow key. Aside from that, smooth sailing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv1oLcxQ-Ow

Not sure if it's been mentioned, I scanned the thread though. I use 8MBGMSFX, I like the modern feel, makes a midi sound like an mp3 and doesn't seem to accentuate anything or drown out sounds. Here's a link if you want to hear it: http://www.alsa-project.org/~james/sound-fonts/8MBGMSFX.SF2 Somebody made a nice video comparing soundfonts in doom which includes said soundfont.
