Glad you are enjoying these maps World in My Eyes! One of my favorites from my favorite band

I tried to give it a go but it defaulted to the original Doom level - is that because I am using GZDoom?

I like the miniwad concept (and the name) - I started out about 2 years ago with the plan to release a 32 map megawad and then after doing 8 maps realized that it would take eternity - it's also good to release small chunks to get feedback - many in the community provided me feedback on my Woody World Episode 1 eight map miniwad and as a result the future episodes are better for it. I now try to release in 4 level "chunks" (even then it takes long) but I'll adopt the name miniwad now https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134702-woodys-world-episode-1-gzdoom-8-level-episode/ https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/135964-wad-release-woodys-world-episode-2/ https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/136821-woodys-world-episode-3-new-wad-gzdoom-4-level-episode/ https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/138884-woody-world-episode-4-new-wad-gzdoom-4-levels/ https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/143327-woody-world-episode-5-released-gzdoom-4-levels/

What do you mean by overexposed? bright?

Uh oh - I think the levels just get larger with each Episode lol

Some shameless self promoting! The Woody World series... :-)

Are we allowed to submit a map that has been previously released as part of another wad?

Same result... only shows the real 10

Looking for help here - I have a map that has 10 secrets in it but it is showing 28 secrets during gameplay I searched for secrets by sector 1024 and it gave me the 10 I also searched for things "count as secret" and got none What else can I do to find these extra secrets / eliminate them? Thanks, Woody

Thank you for clarifying as I was not aware As yes, I am a shameless self promoter - guilty as charged :-)

I would love to put my Woody's World series (5 Episodes released so far) up for consideration for the club. Just search Woody on DoomWorld for the releases. Maybe don't pick Episode 1 as that was my first 8 levels, so they got better as the Episodes went on...

The Woody World Episodes/Maps (search Woody) have evolved a lot since I started mapping and learned a lot. Now, as I make larger and more advanced maps, typically I 1 - Think of a concept (like climbing a mountain, stuck in a city, going down a river, etc.) 2 - Maps out the area/full map on paper with container placeholders for building/sections etc. Also place weapons and keys. 3 - Put the start and exit on the map. I like the player to be able to see the exit from the start if possible so they have an idea where they will finish 4 - Plan out a general sequence for the player to go (i.e. has to get Red key from this area or throw that switch before they can go to area B, etc. (although there are multiple paths to finish) 4 - Take each area/section and flush that out on it's own paper (i.e. with door, floors, hallways, secrets, etc.) often monsters as well 5 - Select textures for that area and build that area 6 - Populate that area with monsters and items/ammo 7 - Test that area 8 - Once 4-7 done for all areas, do a pass to ensure uniformity/texture alignment and sequence works 9 - Playtest entire map, take many notes on problems 10 - fix problems and/or monsters/ammo balance, step 9 repeat until perfect 11 - Once Episode is complete, release to beta testers 12 - fix reported problems 13 - release on DoomWorld! In general, I avoid UAC tech base (too many out there) and hell/gruesome/corpses scenes/themes (yuk). I like more open spaces to run and explore multiple paths Woody

Woody World Episode 6, about 40% done... follow me for more updates! In the meantime, you can try the other episodes: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/v-z/woodyworlde1
