Some horrible Doom pickup lines.
You must be an archvile because you really light a fire in me.
Damn baby, you're thiccer than a closet full of cyberdemons!
I don't have a chainsaw but I think I found my meat!!!!!!
I'll be your former human trooper, want to see my pea shooter?
Babe are you flagged secret, because I've been looking for you all my life!
Is your name Eternal Doom, because I could get lost in you forever.
You must be a Ribbiks map, because damn you are tight.
Did you just spam your BFG? Because I can feel you tracing the outline of my heart.
Roses are red, violets are blue, like a mastermind on an imp, I'm stuck on you.

<3 cheesy pickup lines
Doom pickup line failures:
Girl you must be the thiccest cyberdemon I've ever seen; I could hear you stomping all through this club.
You got the body of an arch-vile and the voice of a cyber.
Wanna get as high as two lost souls fighting?
You look so good; I hope I don't prematurely GAD!
When I fire my missiles I always back it up.
Hitscans are more avoidable than that juicy butt.
What cyberdemon shot those two chest rockets?
If I'm a revenant, my missile is homing right at you.
My blast has more knockback than an arch-vile; wanna see?
I think I could FDA that.
You must be a pain elemental because I see a new lost soul in you every day.
You got a boyfriend? That's okay baby, I'm like a lost soul; I don't count.
And let's get some love for the guys too since it's absent here:
I bet a date between us would be like a match on shoot.wad.
Hey, you wanna hear what it sounds like when Duke3D and Doomguy press walls simultaneously?
I'll take that hot stream of plasma any day...
Better grab the lube, cause I'm gonna rip and tear.
You make me wish I could dual-wield.
Wanna play a game of survival? Winner cleans up.
You remember that gif of the Doomguy club? I know a place like it, wanna go?
I bet you're faster than a speeding lost soul.
Wanna see who can reload their SSG faster?
Look bud, you leave now and you forfeit deez nuts.
Hey, wanna start an FFA?
Wanna see if we can beat David Carradine's record for a death exit? You do me then I'll do you.
I'm mildly sorry for this one:
Let's beat it-- this is turning into a cumbath!

You must be an imp because here comes my dick.

One-hour speedmap to shake off some rust. Pretty happy with the way this turned out. Complevel 9, has HMP and UV.

Umm, sure why not... beat it on HMP after several tries. Not going to deny that the revenants made me grr all the time, not enjoying my time as I should have, but the map is pretty good. Also saw a bit of UV, not sure how I would feel with an extra archie at the end but, I'll see.
SpoilerI found all the secrets, though the first time I used an archie to get the BFG, and found the switch later. With the megasphere, personal tastes with archie-jump secrets aside, helps a lot.
I may also record on both skills, later.
-
bloody good stuff
-
toronja is HMP, chorizo is UV, these turned out different from previous runs. The additional archvile was indeed, more violent. Excuse my non-professionalism.

I made a speedmap. Hey, I can use status updates to """"""release"""""" these now.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n12612hevcntycp/RDSM1_2.wad?dl=1
Goals were to make a map that is 'conventionally challenging' as opposed to 'really hard', and to use limit removing triggers instead of Boom ones, so -complevel 2. Should take 15 minutes or fewer. Has HMP/UV.
It's an ancient palace set in a ginormous volcanic rift.

You can drag+drop them onto the .exe, set up a shortcut/batch file and command line "-playdemo xxxxx" it in, or just double click it and set PrBoom+ as your default program for .lmp files. Lotta times PrBoom+ will pick up on the wad file by itself if it's in the same directory, but if the map doesn't load just include the wad file in your method and you're good.
If PrBoom+ flat out won't play them something is wrong.

Played it on HMP very late at night and had a good time. I like the encounters and the general feeling of going up and down the different levels.

A trio of speedmaps each made in roughly five minutes, mostly as an experiment. Boom compat.

Very fun stuff! I liked them a lot! Being able to come up with these ideas and create them in 5 minutes is impressive stuff. I hate to conform, but I agree with others that Map 02 was the best of the bunch.
-
What are some of your favorite small and mid-sized maps?
Or the coolest, most impressive, most fun, most creative, etc., whatever direction you want to go.
Standalone map, part of a megawad, anything in between, doesn't matter.

Italo Doom map 01
Frog 07
RJ_SLAB 01, 02, 06, 10, 14 and probably a few others
RJSpace9f map 01 (can be finished in 10-ish minutes without hard tricks, assuming you don't max, so it counts!)
NG2 10, 11, 12
DV2 Hell's vendetta
There are probably many more maps that in the 10 minutes or less "sphere" that I really like, like some stuff in flotsam, or magnolia map 02.
-
For small maps, 50mon Map21. I don't know why whenever there's a map where blue sections and red sections merged together, I will find it very attractive (eh... this word sounds wrong) to me.
For other type of maps, I actually like Map19, 20 and 27 a lot in TNT2, especially 20. Hopefully they'll release it soon... I don't precisely understand why. I just found these maps in this set are quite unique and I couldn't find similar ones on top of my head.
@Nine Inch HeelsI read your comment after putting down the comment. This somehow motivated me to play NGMT2 (unless NG doesn't mean that, but you seem to like that set, so I assume it is :P). I did play it on 2016 when I started speedrunning, it was too hard for me. Now it seems it perfectly fits me to play.
-
I'm a bit late to this, but BTSX E2M09, E2M17, E2M21 and E2M24 are fantastic little maps. They're over in a few minutes and employ interesting concepts, and are cleverly utilized in the project's pacing both as breathers and as serious gameplay switch-ups between bigger, more ambitious odysseys. E2M21 deserves special mention, despite me frequently forgetting to mention it in the past. It's a panic-inducing little number that tosses teleporting cyberdemons into the player's face, along with some other fun Plutonia-esque situations, and it's sandwiched between two of the longer journeys found in the set. What this does for pacing is phenomenal in my eyes, and I firmly believe many other projects should take notes from E2's approach.

"Cosmic Flab"
This was a midi I made in ~8 bar chunks, where I wasn't allowed to listen how anything sounded until such a chunk was done. And whatever I got I was stuck with. (The main point of listening is to inform future parts.)
This was fun (and very quick :o), so I'll make more of them and post them here.- Show previous comments 3 more

"Dreamy Stuff Again"
This one has an instrument go out for a second due to too many simultaneous voices. Not sure how to fix that. I'm not even using a lot of sustain pedals, and the ones that I do use stop at that point.
tourniquet said:Good good, are those free to use? I'm kinda flirting with 'Ruby Princess', might fit well into a lil thingy i'm working on atm.
Yeah, I think I'll tweak a few things in that one too. For some reason the timpanis disappear the second time around, even though I didn't add any volume changes there. -
"Firestorm"
It seems like I'm a lot better at composing music when I hardly stop to listen to anything.

Doomkid'sKid! We all knew this day was coming.
Welcome to the wonderful world of DOOM little buddy. I know your dad is going to raise you well. We have been waiting for this moment for a long time now.
Burp and fart, until it is done.

Maybe it's time for Doomkid to change his name to Doomdad.

In the off chance that anyone (especially a new mapper) sees this review and my status update, the implication here is silly and harmful. Smaller mapsets, and standalone maps, are 'complete wads' too, and 17-map megawads are perfectly fine.

I wonder what WAD is that... This has a lot of similarities from user reviews for games, like those on Steam or whatever. There are always a few percents of people who like to do this.
-
This is such a stupid mentality, a wad should have whatever quantity of maps the author wants. It isn't mandatory to have a 9-map episode or a 32-map megawad.

This is a map called Skintryway.
It is a remake of Doom 2 map01's layout from memory. It is also a 15-minute speedmap. It turned out surprisingly playable considering those constraints, so I felt like sharing it.
A mistake I found amusing: I accidentally placed a chaingun instead of a chainsaw because "chain" and I didn't have time to look closely.
Hope you enjoy.
- Show previous comments 2 more

Having a chaingun definitely plays out better, but it was originally a mistake. There were other "good accidents," like placing the trigger for the secret cubby 8 units too low so that you can just walk over it instead of taking the lift. That makes it useful if the player wants to use it before the map is practically over.
One mistake I noticed that isn't great: the lava is a softlock. :P

By request, nuts.wad with Doomkid's mod 'Floaters' (which gives all monsters the power of flight). Just a casual playthrough.
The big horde of cybers is now airborne and will block the entrance to the second area after they wake up.

not gonna post this in the Micro Slaughter Community Project thread because I don't like derails, but this is not meant to be a giant subtweet, just a bit of explanation of my previous comment on how "micro slaughter" is a thing that exists.
some works in the genre:
- phmlspd, Fruit Salad, Rush
- Water Spirit, Oceanside
- Survive in Hell
- the slaughtermaps in sets like Plutonium Winds
- (a bunch of standalones like) Brown & Red and Caco Bell
- the New Gothic series is more small than big, especially movement 2. notable CPs like the Slaughterfest series and Slaughtermax have as many smaller slaughtermaps as big ones, especially in the earlier parts, where there is a deliberate skew.
- including speedmaps, like three-quarters of my own maps going back to 2015 are consciously "microslaughter" so I personally know it's not a new thing ;)
- they are super common as entries in community projects, e.g. when Cannonball maps for Doom 2, it's often in that form; 50 Shades of Graytall have a lot. then there are almost ubiquitous one-offs in other works, like BTSX e1m32.(this not an exhaustive list)
(and not everything in that list is completable in 5 minutes, but that is an arbitrary benchmark and I'm not going to endorse retroactively classifying something differently because it takes 6 minutes.)
so yeah, I'd get why someone who is mostly familiar with slaughter in the form of Sunder and Bastion of Chaos and such would think the idea of "smaller slaughter maps" is especially new or unusual. but I don't like the idea of suggesting it is or selling that angle, because that effectively minimizes (heh) and effaces a lot of past work in the genre.
also the typical "big" slaughtermap, for example Combat Shock 2 or the not-quite-as-short parts of the Slaughterfests and Slauightermax, has generally been more like 20-30 minutes long than a huge Sunderian epic anyway.
one thing that MSCP does is offer more of it; apart from a few (phmlspd, Rush, Survive in Hell, Italo Doom), having a dozen and a half smaller slaughtermaps in a project, and pretty much nothing else, is unusual. and I think that sort of dedicated distillation of concept, paired with the quantity, can be thought of as relatively novel. the first five wads on the big list above are generally quite a bit easier than MSCP, so I'd consider them better "soft intros" to the form for newcomers, but MSCP works as a spicy and short trial by fire.

Not sure if the project lead or any of the contributors made a claim to fame that was unjustified. At least I didn't see any such thing when I skimmed over the thread...
Looks more like the usual phenomenon that is people not knowing about something they never cared about until it somehow seemed "new".
I suppose one thing that would help is having "WADs that may or may not have inspired this project" in the OP, but then again, who even reads OPs these days..?
-
I hope I didn't read you wrong. I think you meant to say MSCP is not an intro level of slaughtermaps in the *difficulty* standpoint, but it's a set of small slaughtermaps varying from easy to hard (Map13 is definitely something for sure)?
If so, I agree with you and I have to say some other sets can be used as intro level from the *difficulty* standpoint instead of size, and totally correct that size isn't really always related to the difficulty.
-
bothers me that posts like this need to exist. anyone crying about maps they dislike, for any reason, need to keep their delusional cries to themselves. don't play shit you don't like, do play shit you do, talk about things you do like, don't mention things you don't.
unbelievable mountains of self importance.

Hey since everyone has a midi thread I'm going to join in.
If previous threads are any indication there won't be many responses, however, because of my suckage.
Since this is a blog there will be much ruminating and introspection. Frightening, huh.
The most recent full-length piece I did is "Amethyst Princess". I like this one a lot, particularly the rhythm (triplets and 5/8 + 3/8) but I'll probably redo the middle section so that the transition to B' sounds sufficiently orgasmic.
Lately I've been intrigued by the idea of 'bitelets', which are ~1-minute or so long pieces that I've whipped up occasionally for my speedmaps.
Here's a recent one.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b39rri884eg1sq5/bitelet1.mid
I'll make a few more of these -- at least one today, hopefully.
This bitelet (which predates the term 'bitelet') remains my favorite thing I've done recently:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/6wg24m19hev6c79/D_RUNNIN.mid
I'm not sure how I managed to do it, actually, especially since it was all composed under the span of 30 minutes. Inspiration! I tried to make something today and all of it was complete nonsense. 'Bitelet1.mid' isn't as good either, though I do like its ending.
Okay, enough yapper for now, there'll be plenty later.- Show previous comments 1 more

"Amethyst Princess" is wonderfully atmospheric (and the polyrhythms are a great way of maintaining rhythmic interest), though it could use slightly more variation, perhaps in the drum track. One criticism I have is that in the part at 1:27, the tremolo string line has the feel of a bass string line (just whole notes changing per bar), but it stands out as if it were a melody, especially the jump up to the D, and it actually really takes me out of the track. If it's meant as a background line, perhaps you should take it down the octave, or play around with the notes/dynamics until it blends in more; if it's meant as foreground, it needs a bit more variation.
-
Since this is rounding out closer to completion, I'll announce here that I'm maintaining a summary of wads that came out this year (or close enough), so that lots of stuff can be found and downloaded in one convenient place.
I've been focusing more on tracking down obscure smaller releases lately. If you want to help contribute, though, five wads (or series) need suitable screenshots in 4:3.
Those are the DBP series (gonna be 15 total shots, so 1 for each wad out so far and pick 1-2 more), HFFM - Cut (5 total), The Unmaking (6 total, if you have Doom 64 EX), Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl Reloaded (5 total), and Blade of Agony (6 total).
(Screenshots for the PUSS series are on the way from the project organizer, so don't worry about those.)

taking your time isn't a problem. I'm mostly glad they'll be accounted for whenever. (because yeah, the series are the hardest ones to screenshot for :D)

@Horus I hadn't looked yet (as I mentioned in the description I'll have to be slower with single maps) but now that you ask, yeah it's not 4:3 either. I can easily retake those though if I add it

Oh he was born ... in a well
The demons split ... when he comes around
Because they know ... he'll give them hell
With the BFG ... that he found
In a secret ... everyone else missed
With his secret ... finding gift
That cyber ... sure is pissed
Got two-shot, now it's stuck on a lift
Oh demon .. . of the well
Not just your ordinary pinky
He conquers every corner of hell
With weapons both grand and dinky

I just imagine this "one of a kind" demon, that's always been rejected and bullied by the others, because it came out of a well.
Wandering about the shores of hell, lonely, with noone to talk to, crying bitter tears because of how alone it felt, the demon of the well eventually found that secret holding the weapon to build its confidence and self esteem.
Now it's not getting bullied anymore, and other demons talk to it as well, though most they say is "Please NO! WAIT..! AAaarr-AARGH!", at least there's some communication.
Always look on the bright side.

I have mine turned off right now and I can say, sure, I always have a curiosity for who watches my profile, but it is also good to keep a little bit of mystery.
