[FINAL RELEASE] Eviternity

[Dragonfly]

 

 

 

Eviternity is a megawad comprised of six 5-map episodes (called Chapters) plus two secret maps. This project exclusively uses OTEX, a brand new high quality texture pack by ukiro.

 

Eviternity's six chapters explore a series of unique and varied themes, each featuring classic gameplay with an interest in making each map hold its own unique identity and personality. The themes are "Medieval", "Techbase", "Icy Castles", "Industrial / Brutalism", "Hell / Gore / Alien" and "Heaven".

 

This project was created as a birthday gift to Doom, which is celebrating its 25th birthday on the day this was released. The texture pack used in this project, OTEX, was also released on the same day - so please do not use Eviternity as a base for your wads & mods. While mostly being a "Dragonfly project", with 24 maps being made or heavily worked on by myself, I present to you a mighty lineup of well-known guest mappers who have crafted beautiful and fun levels.

 

Since the initial release we've worked hard for an additional two months working on the now-final version of Eviternity!

 

I hope you enjoy Eviternity, thanks for downloading & playing!

 

 

 

 

Eviternity is primarily an MBF format project, intended to be played in the following ports: PrBoom+, GZDoom, Eternity & Doom Retro; and is supported in Zandronum when playing multiplayer. This was tested with the latest versions of each during the creation, so please ensure your copy of your respective source port of choice is up to date!

Viewers of Dragonfly's Stream
I thank you all for providing me seemingly unlimited motivation! <3

Final version released!

[Dragonfly]

 

Now that the final version is out and we're not going to make any more changes, we encourage you to speedrun Eviternity!

 

I will list Youtube Videos here, be it for individual levels, full episodes, full game, etc; each in your favourite speedrun mode, such as UV Max, UV Speed, TAS...

 

Actually scratch that idea, I'm lazy.

 

If you're going to record a speedrun, I would recommend doing your runs in PrBoom+ (not GlBoom+) using complevel 11.

 

I look forward to seeing how fast Eviternity can be beaten! If you want to submit a demo, head on over to the Eviternity Demos Thread.

I stayed up just so I could play one map of this before I sleep

[Phade102]

This would have been a cacoward winner for sure! Next year its definitely gonna be in!

[Liberation]

Congratulations Dragonfly and the rest of the team for the release!

[Batandy]

Marvelous work!

[Redead-ITA]

After so much time it was surely worth the wait!

[Misty]

Congratulations for release! Now, you should take your long reserved break and return later ;)

[Firedust]

All of my f*cking yes.

[Phade102]

Stream is over, I shall continue in the next few days!

[elend]

Congrats, will give this a go asap and even postpone all other WADs in my backlog (sorry guys!). It just looks that good. 

 

And hot damn, this title screen! A+++!

[seed]

Aaaaaaand it's out.

 

This is great, I'll hopefully stream some this week.

[Jimmy]

Instant Cacowa-- oh.

Let's go ahead and start a 2019 mentionation thread and throw this in there :)

[Crunchynut44]

Hell yes!!! Been so excited for this release!

[Deadwing]

Congrats for the release, Dragonfly! Gotta play it ASAP! :D

[Payload4367]

Looks great! Congrats.

[Doom64hunter]

There is always that one guaranteed Cacoward winner that comes in late.

 

Congratulations on the release!

[Fonze]

Congrats on this impressive release folks; y'all did an amazing job here and I look forward to playing these at some point!

[Dreadopp]

I've been looking forward to this for a while now. Congrats on the release, everyone! :)

[Catpho]

After numerous blog posts, mouth-watering screenshots, streams, teasers: we are finally here! Congratz to everyone who worked on this, it's been quite a journey :)

[Collegia Titanica]

Wow. Amazing.

[Sapfiar]

Congrats on the release everyone on this team:)  I started to play 1 episode, and I will say that it's cool!

[Steve D]

Too bad you don't have any attractive maps. ;) 

[Firedust]

I'm gonna be posting whatever I find in this thread. Hopefully, you won't mind. On map 6, the bit with the spiral staircase there is a zombieman stuck in the wall (the area with two zombiemen and a chaingunner). On map 7, there are two stuck chaingunners on the structure to the left of the starting area.

 

Playing on UV in the GZDoom 3.6.something

[Dragonfly]

Thank you everyone for the kind comments!

 

@Firedust How odd - this is why this release is RC1 and not final; so please, report all the bugs you can find! Thank you. :)

 

[Cage]

Congrats on the release! Happy I was able to contribute, although somewhat last minute ;)

[Dragonfly]

Despite the last-minute nature of the contribution, that TITLEPIC/M_DOOM is a work of art! Thank you again for your contribution. And while I'm at it; I'd like to say a massive, massive thank you to each and every person who's contributed to Eviternity, from those who made maps down to those who've simply liked a screenshot. I don't think I've ever been so motivated in all my life to work on something as this, and couldn't have done it without you all.

 

Cheers! :)

[MFG38]

Just downloaded, will be giving this a spin shortly-ish. c:

[Urthar]

Been looking forward to this one for a while. Let's do it!
