Congratulations to everyone recognized! I'm still reading through the full thing, but preemptively gonna say that the writing is incredible. I know it couldn't have been easy to pick these out and sum up your feelings in such exquisite detail. Props to the writers! And special thanks to @Dynamo! It was a very pleasant surprise seeing my name up there for the Espi award. I really didn't see it coming at all. Reading your personal review of my past was both nostalgic and extremely touching. I'm always impressed by your knack for research, even if I shouldn't be considering your tireless work on the doom wiki and prior cacowards haha. I had a big dumb smile on my face when you described your personal experiences during the heyday of the KK days. We dove deep into the dust-covered relics of doomin' old, and this door was indeed one of the greatest treasures we've stumbled upon. Its a testament to why we keep getting our ass kicked by demons. That wooden midtexture blockade wouldn't work! The door's too tall! Doors slide up in Doom!! Agh!!! Uh, anyways, I mainly wanted to say that I really appreciate the detailed article you wrote on me Dynamo, but moreso, I appreciate you as an irreplaceable friend. I've got my evening read in order for tonight haha PS: Thanks for snapping that photo of me @Bank, and for the physical award @Scuba Steve!

Hot new Beta 6 has dropped. Beta 6 changelog

I apologize for introducing the issue. I updated most of the MAP24-related textures for V1.1. In the process I aligned some of the textures in the map to fit the updates. I thought I saved the map without rebuilding the nodes since the map played back the three demos submitted to DSDA for MAP24 in prboom-plus and DSDA-Doom with the reported times in 1.1. However I had not thought to test 1.1 with Eternity. Skillsaw informed me of what happened and pointed out a solution to save the map in "ZDBSP - Extended Nodes". This fixed the issue, and it now runs and plays back the demos in Eternity as well as prboom-plus and DSDA-Doom. I submitted V1.2 with the fix to /idgames.

Thanks! I'm still aiming to finish Autumn Flock before the sun envelops the Earth.

I'm happy folks are enjoying the set so far! I went deep on the MAP30 plot here if you're still curious about the spoilery bits.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone! We greatly appreciate it! I'd like to assure everyone that we address every suggestion and bug report that is posted to the thread. In the case of suggestions our response for the most part is to apply the suggestion, but there are a few instances for changing aspects of a map that after review we decide to keep as is. A few of these instances are the map01 start, the lines around the boat on map05, and the 'campfire' burning barrel on map05. We're aware not everyone will agree with our decisions, but we do take every suggestion into consideration before coming to a decision. Note that there are also some items that we just haven't gotten to yet. The stuff in MAP20 for instance. The changelog indicates which maps have updates. The only exception being MAP26 whose changes weren't logged since its still in a pre-beta state. In any case we appreciate the work that goes into identifying potential issues and we will continue to improve the experience as we inch towards the finish line.

Here is the beta 4 changelog

I really appreciate the feedback so far everyone! Especially the map-by-map deep-dives. We are addressing things as they are brought up.

Congratulations! This project is one of the most ambitious and impressive accomplishments in vanilla modding I've ever seen!

I know I tend to overlook this this thread in favor of the Post your Doom Pictures thread but this time I remembered to join the double-posting club. More Autumn Flock:

For your personal safety please remain in the suite while sports are occurring.

Me and my friend Vega_Kurtsa have started a mega man x doom project here are some screenies of what we have done so far. There are more screens to come, for we just started this project. I want to know any comments or suggestions you may have for it. More information on the project will be posted later. Im looking for some more mappers! If you are interested in than please contribute a screenie, map, something of the sort, and please make it compatible with zdoom, it does not have to use zdoom effects.

This came as a shock. He left such a positive presence. I'm sorry for your loss, and may he rest in peace.

Thank you! It is part of a project I've been working on and posting shots of lately called Autumn Flock. It did originally begin life as a Doom TC, but I recently reinvented it as a new game (so all the pre-2021 stuff isn't gonna show up). I have a lot more clarity on what I want it to be now. About an episode in length, each level will be a different world with a detailed overarching story connecting the ordeal.

Souvenids surround themselves with and incorporate into their chassis objects of sentimental/biological value to fool daily scans for artificial life by the planet's weary denizens. A crude trick. But it's worked for the past 1000 years or so. So hey

Thanks! Its going to be just long enough to tell the story I want to tell. About an episode's length.

Apologies that I haven't been clear about it, but I have been responsible for the compilation as of late. It's cool if you want to make the changes yourself. Just PM me the updated map when you have the chance. If you want us to make the changes that is fine too. Just let me know what you prefer.

Really appreciate the feedback so far everyone! Its been very useful. We've been addressing issues as they are brought up. And I'm happy people seem to be enjoying MAP30 so far! After spending several lifetimes on it its nice to finally watch folks experience it for the first time. I provided a spoiler synopsis of 30's plot below for those that are that curious. As well as a few plot-related fun tidbits. I really recommend you play the map first though before reading any of it: I did however try to make the ending a bit more obvious with text. I may also do something to keep the cyberdemons in check a little longer so the player has more time to read the message. Gave some plot info above if you're deathly curious.

They're excited
