Death Bear

Sorry, friend. Good catch. I sent a fix in first thing this morning. Should be in the next update.

Added the link to v2 in my submission post. Added some more ammo for E/M. Fixed a few difficulty flags for items and ammo on easy.

Title: Doommas Blend Author: Death Bear Music: The Joy of Winter by Tristan Clark Link to level: Google Drive (v2) Difficulty settings: Y Comment: Downstream of a coffee treatment plant, the ice has begun to melt and demons have set up shop...all buzzed on caffeine and ready to take you down. About 5 minutes playtime on UV (107 monsters). I released my first map for Christmas in 2020. I haven't missed one yet. Hope you like it. Additional credits (if textures from other packs used): No additional credits. Screenshots:

The bear has awoken from his slumber, so submissions are closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! This may be the biggest event we’ve done that wasn’t 1-hour speedmaps! What a better way to celebrate Doom’s 30th like we do here at the Pineapple Under the Sea than to put out like that! (Maps, of course.) See you soon!

I’m tapping at your chamber door again, this time to announce we’re on idgames! Thank you SO much to all of our playtesters and bug reporters that helped us get some of this stuff finished up. We also finalized a few of the graphics and the story text, and provided a split wad so music doesn’t repeat in Crispy Heretic. The full version is, of course, still available. Thanks for your support and we hope you have fun! I feel like we’ve learned a lot and grown as a team with this, and you can look forward to a potential follow up next year sometime.

I’m closing open submissions in about 32 hours from now. I have it on good authority that Blue’s lust for starting new projects dies hard, so be on the lookout for our December’s event to start off pretty row- I mean, promptly.

We're actually already working on our 2nd 27. There are currently 35 submissions to this project, with more on the way. Just over 3 days! Let's keep the fire alive!

6 days left till we wrap! Keep ‘em coming!

“I like my maps like I like my [plural noun]...quick & dirty!” PUSS 30: Quick & Dirty! Hell Yeah! It’s that time of the year again! Welcome to Quick & Dirty, PUSS’s 3rd Anniversary Under the Sea, and the beginning of PUSS Series IV! On September 9th, 2020, our Bluest of Pineapples opened a dropbox on his discord server for mappers to share 1-hour speedmaps, with the plan of continuing the series the next month. So, here we are...3 years later! PUSS XXX!!! We’re like a 24 Hour Video Shop, but without the cool neon signs and soggy VHS tapes with Seinfeld recorded over them. I feel like it was just yesterday I was mapping for PUSS XX: Hell Yeah. Where the hell has all the time gone? This last year, we kicked off with Hell Yeah!, breaking the record for submissions with over 60 maps and introducing several newcomers to our events! Since then, we survived zombie invasions, ventured the coldest reaches of Hell, celebrated Doommas in less than 3 days, killed our Valentines in deathmatch, got cheesy on the moon with our very own Zorglo Blazkowicz, returned to Crash Castles with Knightguy, ripped and tore on Mars as the Doom Slayer, got heretical in Parthoris, and then got really weird while sloshing around in…hot soapy water. We saw some of our biggest events, our largest custom-made resource packs, and some of our most unique ideas yet! We’ve seen some extensive resource gathering and creation, and admittedly our time to work on it did not hold up to some of our ambition, but we’re getting there! (I’m looking at you, PUSS 22!) We’ve seen an expansion of our project lead roster beyond myself, Blue, @Steve88 and @Peccatum Mihzamiz, as @myolden, @MemeMind, and @Egregor have joined us in leading! That said, the majority of Series III is a testament to the community that Blue has built to support these crazy ideas and turn them into mapsets! We've also welcomed back veterans to the series time and again, and saw some new recruits become regulars, as well! Without all of you, PUSS wouldn't be what it is today, and I know we're all grateful for your participation and enthusiasm! That goes for all of our wonderful playtesters, streamers, resource developers, players, and overall cheerleaders! Thank you! Somewhere in our journeys, we reached over 666 PUSS maps, got mentioned in the cacowards for Mapping at Warpspeed and got it played by the DWMegawadClub, and saw idgames releases for Mappin' Round the Doommas Tree, Lover's Quarrel and Lunacy. We also introduced our low-key Treasure Chest Series, which has now seen 4 quarterly installments since last September. Lover’s Quarrel saw our first PUSS-developed deathmatch set played online. We ran our first live speedmapping event in Mapping Off and raised money for charity (Y’all are the best!) while myolden beat the crap out of BluePineapple72 and lost because Blue paid off the judges. (At least that’s what I heard, because I didn’t get paid). Thanks again to DirtyGiveaway, Crob4r, @MtPain27, @Jark, and @Zero the Red! We’ve got more PUSS on the way (teehee), as our devhell backlog starts to clear, and we’re excited to share all of it with you, but until then…we’re going to map some more, because that’s how we do! Series III contains A LOT of maps! We know how to put out! (Maps. I mean Maps. Chill out.) Hell Yeah alone holds our record for 63 maps for a project! (Unless you count Hot Soapy Water, but we'll get to that later). We can do better than that, can’t we? YES, WE CAN! We’re cooking up some wonderful things for Series IV, and as it IS Doom’s 30th Birthday this year, we’ll be celebrating that as well. Come join us! Now for the main event! I’m leading again, because not only am I promoted to co-lead of this amazing collective of creators, but because I love to get down to the nitty-gritty of some true speedmapping! (And because I drew the smallest straw). Are ya ready, kids?! Grab some scuba gear, take one last sip of your Piña Colada, and wash your hands in some Hot Soapy Water! HERE. WE.

Maps are due in the Discord Channel or on this thread by September 30th at 11:59 pm CST. We will be compiling the following week. We’re launching October’s event promptly, so give us some time to do that part. Make sure you have a name for your map before submitting. For submissions, please post in this format: Map Name: [ X ] Author: [ X ] Music: [ Song + Author ] Format: [ X ] Build Time: [ X ] Co-op Starts: [Y/N] Difficulty Settings: [Y/N] Gimmicks: [ X ] Comments: [Insert all your Bikini Bottom fanfics here.] Screenshots: [x] We only need the .wad file of your map. Compiling your submission with the resources is unnecessary for this event. Your mapping time can be nonconsecutive. You may collaborate with another mapper. The time limit is the same for your team as it is for everyone else, split between you however you like. Your timer will only go down when you are mapping or playtesting. Speedmaps will be under the honor rule. Neither you nor I can prove if a map went over the time limit or not, but trained eyes can see what is and is not a speedmap. If you cheat, people will notice. Any time in Slade used to give a midi is outside of your mapping time. I would recommend spending some time looking over the texture pack before you begin mapping, so that you don’t waste time scrolling. Once your time is up, if you haven’t beaten your map, please spend time to verify that your level is beatable, and to make sure co-op starts are included. AFTER YOUR TIME LIMIT IS UP: As a general rule, I'm comfortable with you going back into your wad and picking at its bones to make sure everything is neat and tidy. Minor texture changes, bug fixing, and thing placement overhaul are fine by me. Excluding special cases, I do not want you building new rooms/sectors after you've already submitted a map to me. The time limit isn't to challenge you to make a map quickly, it's to light a fire under your ass to create something truly cool with a deadline. PUSS is still a speedmapping series, so maps won't be perfect cacoward level masterpieces, but I would still like for mappers to spend the time polishing maps they have sent to me. There is no cap to how many maps you can submit to these events. Trust me, I know. I'm the reason this rule exists. *wink* Any bug fixing/map changes are due to us once we've set a date, which will be after the completion of playtesting. @BluePineapple72's discord server, The Pineapple Under the Sea, is a sexy little community of mappers that occasionally participate in mapping events. I've had the pleasure of now leading a few of these projects, and I love being a part of this growing creative collective. Come join us!

Y'all! We launched just a few days ago, and we've got over an episode worth of maps! And I've got two madlads tag-teaming an entire E2-inspired episode! (And NO, for once it's not me!). This is fun as hell Inferno! Yeah, baby! Here's two more from me. Map Name: Ursine Anomaly Author: Death Bear Music: I Sawed the Demons by Bobby Prince (Might Change) pisode [1,2,3]: 2 Difficulty Settings: Y Comments: My take, though I used less teleporters, I think. Par is 1:30 seconds. Map Name: Flesh Wound Author: Death Bear Music: Untitled by Bobby Prince (Might Change) Episode [1,2,3]: 3 Difficulty Settings: Y Comments: Another E3M1 take. Par is 1:05. NOTE: The fact that I did episode-opener-homage/ remakes does NOT exclude other people from doing so! Just make some maps!

Map Name: Hung Up Author: Death Bear Music: At Doom's Gate by Bobby Prince (Might Change) Episode [1,2,3]: 1 Difficulty Settings: Y Comments: Welcome to E1M1. The resemblance is striking. I think. May add more secrets.

Correct. No worries dealing with that. We're doing Limit Removing.

For all intents and purposes, this event is closed! We're in the 20s with maps, and Blue should be compiling what we have soon. Bookend maps will be finished and added soon, and we'll be working on fixes to the texture pack. We'll keep you updated! Thanks for everyone who contributed, and I very much look forward to playing through this set!

We're extending through the end of the month (So 2 extra days). Finish up before November...we're launching the next event on the 1st!

No worries! I 100% appreciate the reports. And good to hear! I had a lot of fun with this project.

Explain myself? Haha. I’m going to assume that was lighthearted, friend. Seems like an oversight to me, though not one I remember because there was at least one point it definitely was tagged. Easy fix. Flyers? Maybe so. I’ll check it out.

Hey, Dan! This is really cool so far! Will have to give it another go but wanted to report this. Hope this helps.

Captain Toenail AND Hexen! Hell yeah!!! Let’s GO!!!

I’m accepting the final round of updates for RC2 by Oct. 22nd, so if you feel like your map needs one, try to get it by then. We’re about to start wrapping this up.

PUSS 25: LUNACY (Release 1) (idgames) by Pineapple Under the Sea Studios, Led by Death Bear CL-9, UMAPINFO, Tested in PRBOOM+ 2.6 and DSDA-DOOM 0.26.1! 44 maps of Cheesy Lunarbase Goodness! 3-Hour Speedmaps created in February 2023! Lunacy is a wild journey to the moon and back! Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapping Series welcomes back our hero from Mapping at Warpspeed, Zorglo Blaskowicz IX, on another Skillsaw-inspired quest to defeat the enemy aliens encroaching on the cheese production facilities of Luna, and to ingest as much dairy as possible. In a challenge to create cheese-filled, Lunar-themed Techbases in 3 hours or less, 27 of us collectively constructed 42** maps in the time limit! We had a lot of fun with this, and we hope you enjoy playing! The last cheese in the universe calls to you! Will you answer? These maps were created in Boom Format for cl-9 play; and were tested in PRBOOM+, DSDA-DOOM, and GZDOOM. Due to the volume of submissions (and a personal need to add flavor text for "story"), we have included a MAPINFO/ UMAPINFO. Maps contain difficulty settings and co-op starts. Thank you to all our in-dev and Beta playtesters! As always, thank you to all the event staff who contributed their time and efforts to making this a great experience, and an extra thank you to everyone who helped me through the development process! Apologies for the delay, but here we are. We've made it to the moon. Please let me know if you find any bugs that we didn't catch! Testers: @Napsalm, @Vile, Meanor, @fuGue_tv, @Stabbey, @Insaneprophet Trailer for Beta 2 (YouTube) Dev Thread (Link) MAPLIST Mainline Maps Secret and Bonus Maps **MAP41 is a credits map, and we don't count that in a time limit, usually. MAP44, our bonus map, was created in 11 hours, but it's included in its entirety. A personal note, everyone. I have not had more fun mapping for and playtesting through a mapset as I have this one. I had been wanting to have a moon-themed event for a while, and don't think I could ask for more. I had a blast leading this project...and look forward to the sequel planned for February 2024. I hope y'all will join me! Until then, be on the lookout for several more backlog releases from Pineapple Under the Sea, as well as new monthly events! Huzzah!

LET'S GO!!! @Firedust I told you to quote me on that.

Imagine, with the negligible amount of time you took to generate, post, and read all of these comments, you could've made an actual map for us to play. A pity.

Dang, that’s crazy. Homie’s corpse just noped out.

@myolden has no chill. Quote me on that.

Great to hear, Blexor! Look forward to it!
