this contest got me off my butt to make something cool :) congrats to the mappers, mods, and joel!

lol so I just tried to record beating the level without secrets, cheats, or quicksaves. And I know it is possible. And I think it is balanced enough as far as ammo and health for the average doomer. That last battle is brutal. After 3 attempts, I died each time at the end there. But it's possible. I didn't want Doomguy to be a pushover. and i think i've accomplished that. but now I really wish i had put autosaves because that totally compliment the Wad. i only had a month to make this. but now i know better :) perhaps next contest

thank you for your feedback! and i totally understand what you mean about the autosaves. i took for granted that people would quicksave, because that's how i've always played games my whole life. Baldur's Gate and Skyrim/Oblivion are great examples. But I didn't even think of this while making the Wad. And I think you are right about where the fun is. The story took priority over the rest of the design. I actually only wrote the end screen song. Everything else was midi renditions of old metal songs from bands like slayer. Yeah the end battle is unforgiving. The splash damage from the bfg is enough to put you in panic mode, let alone a straight-on hit. The only way even I was able to beat it is with quicksaves. But thanks again for playing, will definitely take all this into account with my next project. And you can skip forward into the youtube video if you want to check out the ending. It's just a little eye candy really

this wad is currently not available online, as i am waiting for the end of the contest. But I wanted to share the video I made for it! the level itself is about 30 minutes, and at the end i take about 15 minutes to talk about the design and take you around the Wad in Doom Builder 2. Rip and Tear! EDIT: nevermind. theres a download link in the description of the video. if im showing it now, might as well make it available to play. EDIT2: can anyone help me upload this to the database. i couldnt get filezilla to transfer the file, and im not in the position to change router settings. I tried setting the connections to 1, turning off my firewalls but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate it and I will include you in the txt file! until then ill just attach it to this post! doomlord.zip

i gave in. i just couldnt wait any longer. feelsbadman. do not watch! spoiler alert this is a full playthrough of my map that joel has not played yet

this was fun to play! almost relaxing in a way. i was able to find all secrets. i really liked the outdoor areas and the progression of the map. i only got stuck a little at the end with the three doors in the outdoor area that leads to the key. i wasn't too sure they were doors at first. but it didn't take too long to figure out. but awesome job so far!

well Wad submitted yesterday! started off strong but meh, had to pull through this last week lol. had to compromise alot of ideas for the time limit, but i think it came out alright. was too late for the 2016 contest, so have been waiting for this for a while. went through about 20 pots of coffee and 3 cases of soda lol! i'll attach some screenshots! good luck to everyone and hopefully jobel starts the streams soon. oh and the screenshots are super dark for some reason, not sure why. EDIT: tried to get better screenshots!
