Community Chest 5?

Does anyone have any plans to make a Community Chest 5? It's been awhile since 4 came out and I recently played a lot of those levels and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I'm starting this soon. I have a plan written out, keep on the lookout for it. Maybe there's not a big audience for this, but  I hope there is.

Yeah I love community chests.  Though my mapping skills are circa 2002, which is when I stopped mapping and started programming :)

Then I say that your mapping skills are pretty 'recent'. Mine are still stuck in the 90's . . .  :D

Hey, that don't matter! Good 90s map and good 2000s maps were what Community Chest 1 was all about! Pretty much just a big melting pot of great levels.

The first chest was brilliant

Probably the height of the Doom wadding community was the 1996-2004 era, and Chest 1 came around in 2002 and was ended in 2003.

Silver Age: 1994-1996 (the beginnings)
Golden Age: 1996-2004 (TeamTNT, other community projects, lots of great WADs)
Rustic Age: 2005-2008 (Everything was kind of... dying down)
Bronze Age: 2008-2011 (Back to basics with GZDoom and brand new strategies)
New Silver Age: 2012-2016 (Ah, yes. BTSX comes out with so much brand new stuff, it's all great and revives mapping)
Platinum Age: 2017-present (So much stuff is coming out that is good. More DM, more GZDoom, more everything!)

I started playing doom in the Rustic Age when I was 10-11 because my dad showed me the game and let me play it

but I didn't start learning how to map until the Bronze Age and I didn't make my first truly complete wad until the New Silver Age

Heard about Doom in the late Bronze Age early New Silver Age but never played Doom until the Platinum Age

If there is a community chest project i'll be down if it doesn't evolve UDMF format (i haven't learn how to correctly use that map format yet). But if it's Boom map format, sign me up because i like the boom map format for mapping.

Idk if I'd want to start it up since I'm trying to work on a Gothic21 project but if that goes nowhere I'll start on Chest 5.

I have this 

But I'm not treating it like a project, just collecting good maps. 

The NOVA series can basically be considered the successor to Community Chest. Three entire cp's on a similar level of quality as cc4.

That hasn't had a new one come out for a while so maybe now's a good time to return to what inspired it

If there was to be a CC5 do you all think it should have a general theme or just go with the flow like older CC's?

Whoever wants to make CC5, better surpass the maps 20 and 21 from CC4. (The space maps that has a little story about destroying a dangerous AI).

And Andy Leaver would make the MAP17. ;)

I have my popcorn ready, for any second now this thread will erupt, and I will laugh.

Legend says that to this day, Gene Bird is still in his house on Sesame Street, by his phone, waiting for the call about Community Chest 5.

Go ring him up, we can make it happen if we just believe.

If you start community chest 5 then I'll most definitely contribute a combat puzzley map for it.

That's what I'm looking for. I want your 2002 mapping style. If Graf (another programmer) can make a map for CC2, you can make one for CC5 :D

Looking forward to it, if you'd like to.

Isn't Gene Bird's father a member here?

I'll be joining for sure, as long as it is for Boom compatible/limit removing.

Son of a bitch, I am in

I know Gene appears here from time to time, I doubt his father is a member here since Gene's in his sixties already.
