Devalaous

you know what we need? A new Switcheroom, but instead its Switchegame. Heretic and Doom swapped. Doom gets all 5 Heretic episodes, adapted to Doom gameplay and theming, Heretic gets Ultimate Doom + Sigil (Or a fifth episode of Doom's various console maps, given how much more advanced Sigil is geometrically)

Completed 10 Sectors today, and got through several levels of No End in Sight E2. I definitely enjoy Emil's levels more than Xaser's. Especially since I can actually naturally UV-Max the non-Xaser levels.

Started playing the five Doom 2 maps from Tim Heydelaar, one of the level designers for Doom 64 and PSX Doom. They already feel like lost PSX levels. I'd love to see these converted to the PSX style someday.

Made a little dehacked/mapinfo patch with level name graphics for Fava Beans and Final Gathering today. Its fun bringing these old classics a bit into the modern age for newer people.

Birthday today. I will celebrate by eating pizza and probably starting the second episode of NEIS.

Double Impact finished today. Accoriding to Doom Launcher it took me 10 hours and 23 minutes to get through all 9 levels, including all the times I died or loaded to get out of a shitty situation, while Ultimate Doom's entire 4 episodes took me 11 hours and 5 minutes, heh.

NEIS E1 took 4 hours and 50 minutes to get through all ten maps in E1 by comparison.

Ah, H!Zone, where I finish Episode 1 by fighting two D'Sparils at once. Just SAYING that hurts.

Finished the Raven series today. The final map could have fit in with Canyon and Attack, but the rest of his maps kind of exemplified that he was terrible at detail. His sister's maps were far better in that wad.

Finished three long overdue protocacoward/top 100 wads tonight, alongside Sector 666. Naturally, im still avoiding must-plays like Memento Mori, after all these years. One day..

Well, D2TWID is now completed, and I must say, very rarely did it feel like Doom 2; too often the mappers couldn't resist their personal tells, as I could frequently tell which maps were Tarnsman maps, and Xaser's Abyss was filled with his usual towers. And the final boss absolutely required straferunning to finish, almost noone back in the day would have EVER beaten the game if this was the real Doom 2.

The original DTWID felt far more like an id-like product. I wonder if the rejected maps feel closer to Doom 2, but I doubt we'll ever see them. Its been 7/8 years and they still aren't released :V

Played through the TNT map you did for a birthday of mine tonight, after finishing half of the TNT iwad. Still a good fun little map, thanks again for making it :p

So I wasn't misremembering your Plutonia midi pack Cyberden midi being in a beta form in one of my birthday maps afterall. I didn't think about actually finishing them again till they were recorded on Doom Launcher's stay tracking, and sure enough, that midi plays as the intermission in an early rendition. 

The second map is still totally unwinnable BTW :p years of skill improvements have not improved me enough. 

Finished A.L.T. and despite taking several days to do so, this was definitely one of the more memorable megawads out there. I only wish it had been finished with its original vision, the guest mappers detract from it so much. Map 27 especially ruins the feeling progression.

So I spent the last 6 hours at LEAST (this doesnt count reloads from the many many deaths) playing through A.L.T's epic Map 11. This journey was the kind of thing we had in mind for the last map of Revilution originally (Admittedly we were nowhere NEAR as creative as this dude's map, but it still felt like a journey to close out the megawad's last normal map)

Except, we didnt put a fucking Icon of Sin fight at the end, ruining the whole journey.

The level was so amazing all the way through, then THAT had to piss all over it. Not enough ammo, not enough health, the thing shoots like 8 cubes at once, and theres a massive army already there waiting for you, AND you blow yourself up on the brain-killing platform because of the carpet of monsters that triggers autoaim.

I noticed Revilution's map 12 is counted as one of the top 100 memorable maps :)

Feels good that the changes we caused to the original map ended up in getting so much praise. E2's original design was definitely an idea that would have great if carried through the full episode

Sigil is great. Played it together with Doom Expanded, felt like they were made for each other 

I am alive. Still no computer of my own, but I do have access to my brother's gaming laptop now, including all the Doom stuff I stuck on it for him.

Wonder what notable stuff has come out in my long absence?

Oh cool, Doom 64 in Doom 2 is out. Now I have something to look forward to one day when I have a good computer again. *returns to hiding*

Sometimes when I play various older games, I find myself wondering what a Doom TC of said game would be like. Then I start visualising all these places in Doom's engine, how the monsters and weapons would work, and so forth.

Watched a japanese godzilla movie today on my friend's birthday. Also totally destroyed all of the people I was against at air hockey at the arcade. Fun night.

So I spent the last week and a half in hospital after having a sudden heart problem. Collapsed the day after I made my last update >_>

Having a lot of trouble with my breathing and my heart recently. A ton of people don't really believe me whatsoever for some reason, hopefully it isn't actually as bad as it often feels like it is.

Kind of a bummer that Revilution wasn't quite good enough for a cacoward. It was born primarily from my then-boundless energy towards TNT2 and that carried the initial team through the early days when we were all bummed by the split. But at least im happy with the parts of my overall design goal that survived the shift in management, all being the parts that got praised the most.

A runner-up is great though, for something I put so much effort into before real life obligations pulled me away from the project.

quite possibly the best username on Doomworld

So I have a Doom mug with all the monsters on it, lined up like prisoners. Is it bad that I like to put green liquid in it and pretend im drinking a nukage barrel?
