Fletcher` Posted July 22, 2011 Graf Zahl said:For the record, I normally play through E1 in <40 minutes with 100% kills and 100% secrets so by your reasoning KDiZD should have been completable in twice that. My best time for E2 is around 50 minutes so again, if ZSoZD took me less than 2 hours (which would be the upper limit of 'acceptable' according to you I'd be severerly disappointed. All in all, it matters absolutely zero how long it takes to play it, so long as the journey itself is made worthwhile. I'd rather be able to beat an awesome mod in an hour as opposed to drudge through crap for five. 0 Share this post Link to post
BilboHicks Posted July 22, 2011 any reason not to do a hub design? Figured you were adding new features, why not a hub? Probably too hard to coordinate with all the mappers? 0 Share this post Link to post
Marnetmar Posted July 22, 2011 I think they said they were going for a hub design. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted July 22, 2011 A lot of these screenshots look a lot like just good maps. With the exception of that shot with the vines and the one with the modified CEMENT textures, I'm not really seeing much that reminds me of The Shores of Hell at all. 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted July 22, 2011 ^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. While these shots do look good, there really isn't anything that reminds me of E2, outside of one screenshot. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vader Posted July 22, 2011 Marnetmar said:I think they said they were going for a hub design. You must have misread something, we're not going for a hub! @40oz: I might make a difference seeing the areas in-game, as I personally think the maps have been designed to stay true (in terms of texturing and shape to the original) areas in most cases. I say in most cases, because there are obviously things that had to be modified in order to add new areas for example. Anyway, any suggestions? Could you point out something that is typical for E2 and missing in those screenshots? 0 Share this post Link to post

Good; The Shores of Hell is ugly. :P Seriously though, I'm don't really know what you're expecting to see, but ingame I find it pretty easy to tell exactly where I am in, for instance, Vader's z2m6. If you're looking for obvious and direct replicas with the original texturing intact or something, you're not going to find them. These maps aren't clones of the original e2 with a bunch of added computer garbage on the walls, we're just taking the layouts and themes as guidelines and bases to reinterpret. 0 Share this post Link to post
Marnetmar Posted July 22, 2011 I hate to be an annoyance but...Do you plan on releasing any more screenies soon? :P 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted July 22, 2011 No, 'cause you guys are just gonna keep bitching about them :P (Really though I have no idea) 0 Share this post Link to post

Marnetmar Posted July 22, 2011 I don't understand all the E2 hate. The only bad levels were E2M1 and E2M9 IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Lag Posted July 22, 2011 episode 2 is my favorite despite its clashing textures because of its atmosphere. it is also my favorite to speed run. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted July 22, 2011 I thought E2M1 was rather good. In fact, a lot E2 was rather fun. I had no idea there was hate centered for it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Anyway, I'll take E2 over the rest of UD because of it's gameplay / atmosphere. Hell I'd take it over newer projects like RTC-3057 as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sigvatr Posted August 4, 2011 I think I might have made some of those textures :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

esselfortium Posted August 5, 2011 Sigvatr said:I think I might have made some of those textures :/ To my knowledge, every texture used in TSoZD is by NiGHTMARE, Vader, Tormentor, or myself, and they're all either original or based on Doom resources. I think a few wood textures might be edits (made with permission) of textures originally Jonathan Rimmer? Definitely nothing of yours in there, though.

Katamori Posted October 12, 2011 Nice shots. BUT! Too complicated, as KDiZD was. Damnit, I love details, but these gusys have never tried to make a correct level size. Even Z1M1 was big as ASS! Some people are very megalomaniac! Why is it good? 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted October 12, 2011 Nearly everyone working on The Shores of ZDoom had no involvement with KDiZD's creation. Smooth, sane level flow has been a major focus in development for these maps; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 0 Share this post Link to post

Even GothicDM maps in 1999 crashes several computers, as I've heard on Doom Wiki. esselfortium said:Nearly everyone working on The Shores of ZDoom had no involvement with KDiZD's creation.

Hopefully. =) 0 Share this post Link to post
