Recreate Plutonia from Memory! (CP) (Completed)

Might I take map 01 midi knowing absolutely nothing about music? I feel like I could make some awful garbage even if I were to just listen to the song while remaking it (I won't do that though I promise) It would be a great first impression for anyone playing the wad :) If I get this and finish it quickly I would love to do map 29 as well. That Midi rules I would enjoy ruining it.

I'll take the MAP01 music. Writing something from vague memory sounds fun, though I hope you don't mind any creative liberties I take to fill in the gaps in my memory.

Oh nevermind. Forgot to check the actual replies and someone else wants it, so I'll take a look through the other original MIDIs...

Alright, checked the thread this time, and I think I will take map16's music. Run Em Gun Em Kill Em doesn't stick in my head as well as Death Mask but that should only make the result more cursed.

i think the next will be chex quest recreated from memory lol

C2:

Quote

Even the Arch-Vile Labyrinth couldn't put an end

to your rampage. You reload your smoky Super Shotgun

one last time before smashing the next prototype

accelerator into bits and pieces.

 

You're starting to be pretty good at this. 

C4:

Quote

The evil face of the Gatekeeper explodes in

a pile of mush. As his giant corpse collapses,

a dark portal emerges, sucking away the pieces of

the final prototype accelerator and the last few

surviving demons.

 

You've done it again Marine. Hell's back to pounding

bad dead folks instead of good living ones.

You vow to tell your grandkids the following:

"When I die, put a rocket launcher in my coffin.

If I go to Hell, I'll need it for some final cleanup..."

 

Now your true quest begins. Fuck in order to have grandkids!

Screw it, here's C1 too:

Quote

You cackle as you stand over the corpse of the

Guardian. You quickly spot one of the Prototype

Accelerators in his claw and proceed to rip it to shreds.

With renewed hope, you quickly glance at your

surroundings...

 

Damn! There was supposed to be more than one of these

things. Guess the demons took them elsewhere. You must

hurry, as this victory here will otherwise be meaningless.

 

Keep moving, keep fighting and keep killing. Oh, and

keep living, too. 

I FORGOT EVERYTHING IN C3 BUT FUCK IT

Quote

Guess who didn't find Death in The Death Domain?

 

You found something way worse though...

the entrance to a devil-hive! Deep in its recesses,

the Gatekeeper is waiting, with the final prototype and

his hordes of endless monsters, waiting to rip their claws

in you. He might be bad, but you know who's even badder.

 

You check your gear one last time and enter the hive

without ever looking back. Bring it on, vermin.

At this point though we'll have to start scraping the bottom of the barrel yeah. We could do the Master Levels, plus maximum Doom.

I'm halfway through Death Mask, it's the worst thing ever and I can't figure out how to add drums to the midi lol

Here it is, Map 19 : FRND!

https://www.mediafire.com/file/qtmhv0zp7wqqoet/MAP19_FRND.wad/file

I haven't abandoned my duty, don't worry

should have it done within the week

MIDI for Map16. Deliberately put the minimum effort into this in hopes of preserving the uncanny valley aspect, and included references to two other MIDIs as well (just to pad out the tiny part of the song I actually remember - one is a Freedoom song I thought could mash up well with the bassline, and one is a different Plutonia MIDI that I accidentally started writing til I realized I had recreated the wrong song.) I wasn't sure how to end it, so I hope you don't mind the telephone ringing.

Now to listen to the actual "Run Em Gun Em Kill Em" and cringe at myself, if not find out I've recreated the wrong Plutonia track again.

Here it is.

MAP20: Death Dot Com

I think I did an OK job recreating the progression, but all the shapes are way off.

MAP20.zip

90% done, just gotta put in Multiplayer stuff and difficulty settings
 

Note - I was aiming to make this completely from memory, but for the life of me I could not remember what the secret in the map actually was and curiosity got the best of me.

...seriously???

No gameplay changes, but I forgot to do some alignment I wanted to do.

MAP20_v2.zip

Done. Decided to leave my original interpretation of the secret in (because why the fuck would you have an empty secret?), and for some combat encounters that I was fuzzy on I did my best to emulate the spirit of Plutonia while filling them in. Difficulty settings and multiplayer support should all be good to go.

Here it is: map 32's music, Plunge On, Saw Further

This MIDI was my absolute dream project as far as anything in the DOOM community was concerned, and I'm so happy I was allowed to make this.

I might however make some revisions to the audio balance before the deadline as I keep listening back to it, really hating one or two bits of it but then being fine on the next pass.

Another Edit: Yeah, here's the final version. The stereo square wave was dominating the mix throughout so I've lowered it. Other than that, I keep spotting other mistakes, but I've now gone back to listening to the song normally (waited long enough) so I'm no longer allowed to correct those.

PlungeOnSawFurther.zip

About 1/3 done my MIDI, may not sound like a lot, but I started three hours ago, and worked on it for two, I'd say that's progress.

The other day I went and gave Blood Rush a couple of listens.

If I've got time, I might have a shot at doing it as I don't think it's been claimed yet? (Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.) I'd have one free listen left in that case, but with the deadline looming I can't really promise anything.

I think I'll take MAP25's MIDI.

I know this isn't the right time for this, but I won't be very available for the next week. Mark my words that as soon as I get back, I'm jumping straight on my MIDI.

Sidenote: Oh hi bucket

howdy! just to let y'all know, I am nearly done my map28, I should have it done by end of day 18th. :)

I guess my memory sucks. I have no idea where the song ends or begins, and couldn't remember how the bridge went. The final product was much less... contemplative then the original. Let's call this a "remix".

Not gonna lie, it sounds very good. It's a bit different feeling from the original one, but it has some special feeling to it.

I don't know you but one of my favorite games when I was a teen was a DOS game called "Acid Tetris" which had an awesome soundtrack. One of the songs was called "Continuum" which I made into a MIDI a while back.

Noticed there's no link to my submission.

I think I might be down to take over from someone on another map, I realize I have very little idea how later maps actually are, but they are compact, so I'm down to step in.

"continuum.mid" is just a combination of a nickname I used in some Discord servers ("the continuum") and ".mid" to signify that I compose MIDIs. I made it up pretty much on the spot because I was tired of my old username; it was complete nonsense and its incorporation of my legal name was getting increasingly uncomfortable.

Good song! I take it Acid Tetris is a Tetris spin?

I got back to working on Neurosphere. Just got done putting some teleporters in the blood moat so you can escape, along with the beginnings of the first building and a raised bridge as well.

Should be finishing up Odyssey of Noises later today :)

I haven't played plutonia map28 in maybe... 5 years? It's been a long time, and I decided not to look at it at all before mapping. In my defense, I used to have the record for this map  (before zero master destroyed me 😭) so I have played the level a TON.

Either way, let me know how it goes, and I still havent played the original again for now :P

MAP06 - Work in Progress. Finishing it tomorrow.

Hey there, apologies for the delay on Odyssey of Noises, I didn't get as much time as I had hoped for yesterday, and I've done as much as I can today, it's very nearly done, just one small building left on the blue key path, and the big central building. After that I just gotta put in lower difficulties and multiplayer stuff and it's ready to go! Definitely done tomorrow, sorry again for being late.
