Abandon [final]

[Benjogami]

 

Abandon is a Boom-compatible wad composed of large, difficult slaughter maps.

 

Maps by:

 

Bemused

Benjogami

Scotty

 

with custom menu graphics by Insane_Gazebo, and status bar by galileo31dos01. Thanks to Ribbiks for technical and nodebuilding expertise, and to our many playtesters over these years. We won a Cacoward in 2020, and the final version is here! Bugs have been fixed (including co-op issues), small and sparse UV balance changes have been made, and skill settings have been added. The final version has just a couple of fixes beyond RC2. Thank you for your playthroughs and feedback everyone!

Tested mostly in prboom+ and dsda-doom.

I hope my body can take it

[Nevanos]

Let's gooooo!

[Magicana]

Looks absolutely beautiful.

 

I'm not that good at Slaughter so I may hold off on this till I beat Sunder (Which hopefully will actually happen, and should sharpen my skills enough for this).

[NoReason]

Beautiful and spicy.

There are so many maps to play, and there is so little time to play. Probably die in pleasure? ;P

[loveless]

Here it is, fuck yes.

[Suitepee]

Looks interesting.

[Loud Silence]

I think i haven't played any slaughter maps yet, but these screenshots convinced me to accept the challenge. Incredible work, guys. Waiting for release.

[Insane_Gazebo]

Heck yeah! Been teasing so many people about this. Can't wait.

[elend]

Oh god, this looks crazy awesome. Too bad I will probably have to cheat, but I have to see the architecture at least.

[nrofl]

definitely gets a thumbs up from me!

[amackert]

Oh damn.. Looks incredible!

[Turin Turambar]

Benjogami, who is this guy? This looks like more Insane Gazebo... /reads rest of the thread.

 

Ohh, I see.

[TheLoneliness]

looks amazing!

[seed]

Hm, yes... this looks extraordinarily bad awesome.

 

I know what I'll be playing in the near future.

[dobu gabu maru]

I've seen some of the maps and they're absolutely gorgeous. Will be a hard set to pass up unless you dislike slaughter!

[lirui1001]

Nice.

 

Then wait for this wad and idgames version of smax.

[Nirvana]

Since these maps are still in beta yall need some more testing. There is a streamer on Twitch who tests a lot of different wads. I am sure that he would give some pretty suite feedback.

[TheHit_61x]

Daam! those screenshots definately have an intimidation factor, really digging the aesthetic you guys are going for, how many levels are you shooting for?
