With the level of detail pictured? I think I'm suffering a visplane overflow just looking at it. ;)

[Liberation]

Great to see some Sigil style levels in construction.

That's still cheating though, isn't it? Considering it is Vanilla after all...

E5 for vanilla? How's that going to work?

I mean no not really, if he designed it with freelook allowed.  Freelook only becomes cheating if you can shoot switches early with it, or if you use it for cheaping the IoS.

Same way it did for Sigil I imagine, and replace one of the earlier episodes.

TheMightyHeracross is absolutely correct. Vanilla is a map format is primarily a set of geometric/thing limits, not gameplay rules. It's perfectly compatible with freelook, and even jumping and crouching, if you design the map with them in mind.

 

Excited to see this progress Jimmy! All the [TBDs] give it a real sense of mystery.

Will Romero be doing the soundtrack?

Piggybacking off of this: I'd like to point out to other people that are thinking about posting "work in progress" projects that you can only get away with being this vague about a new project if you are "known" and have an excellent track record.

[Loud Silence]

Sigiless? Screenshot looks cool.

The madman strikes again! <3

Jimmy, you're relentless!

Less time, less names, less gameplay, less monsters......and less of Jimmy. 

 

More or less.....

I believe he only meant mapping format(as in Vanilla, Boom/MBF, Hexen or UDMF). Not that it would run on vanilla doom.

[rodster]

That looks tasty!

People who want dos doom without using chocolate should try doom plus on the prboom+ download page http://prboom-plus.sourceforge.net/

[General Roasterock]

Knowing Jimmy, this will probably be done tomorrow.

 

Best of luck, I'm very eager to see other interpretations of what Sigil stands for.

[Gaia74]

Maps from jimmy?

 

Hype!!!

[SOSU]

Nice! :D
The less series are some of my favorite recent wads :)

All good points, actually.

Less talk, more awesome mapping I suppose. Now, the real question is, do we wait for this thing to get released, or do we nominate it for Cacowards immediately?

Remorseless

[Dark Pulse]

More is...

[Welfare Prodigy]

Limitless

[Nymbus_Hustle]

Guessing it's gonna be called painless

[Fuzzball]

You're all wrong so far :V I'm gonna wait for the other upcoming maps first before I try it though, as I'm after the full experience!

[silentzorah]

Congratulations on your soon-to-be Cacoward, Jimmy!  ;)

[SiFi270]

Now that you mention it, I'm still kind of upset that the last Cacowards didn't invent the "Anti Mordeth Award" just to give it to Deathless.

[Marisa the Magician]

...more?

[FrancisT218]

Hmmm Jimmy keeps dropping us a teaser longer and longer before the wad is actually ready to be played...:P

 

(No pre-release teaser for Deathless, a few days for Faithless, still TBA here....)
