OverbuffD (Complevel -9) (First MAPSET) (Need testers)

[Mr. LBN]

Source Port: Prboom-Plus (Complevel 9)

Difficulty: Hard/Challenging/Frustrating

Style: Beginnner/Puzzle/Arena

MAPS (Available): MAP01-MAP07

MAPS (In Total): Goal will be 20.  If not at least 10

 

I NEED PLAYTESTERS AND FEEDBACK PLEASE! Demos/FDAs welcome!

 

I'm a novice mapper and this is my first attempt at a project entitled OverBuffD.  The premise of this wad is that every enemy and weapon is overbuffed with difficult maps to boot.  All custom work was done via WhackED/DehackED, and has been tested with Prboom-plus/Boom (Complevel 9) parameters so I highly recommend using it.  Maps will be made with a Plutonia style aesthetic and gameplay inspiration.

FDA for MAP01 

Did it on skill 4 since there seem to be no difficulty levels that I noticed.

Best strategy seems to be to ignore monsters and just run.

Everything looks great so far as aesthetics go. I like the new sprites and graphics.

I absolutely cannot imagine what these things are like on -fast, I have yet to try.

 

edit: you can kind of see a bit after 1:20 in the video, it seems the starter gun picks an offset in chaingun possible offsets and stays there if you get what I mean. Is that intentional?

There's no difficulty levels and there's not going to be.  It will be mainly playtested on UV.  I noticed an ammunition problem for the player right off the bat so I updated a few levels with more ammunition if you want to give MAP01 another go.

Seemed a bit frustrating for ya.  As stated above, I have a more ammo friendly quick-fix if you'd like to test that out.

Not intentional since the starter weapon only uses pistol graphics and parameters.  I believe it has something to do with weapon bobbing.  Let me know how the other levels are.

 

I've also UPDATED OP with UV-Max tutorial videos on how to beat the levels in case you get too frustrated.

Let me know how the maps play/feel.  Also get the updated version with more ammo.
