(FINAL Update) Punishment, an episode 1 replacement for Ult. Doom

[Redead-ITA]

 

What is this?

This a boom formatted episodic replacement for the first Episode of the game DooM, Done mostly by me

Maps are somewhat short(Except 1 of them) And somewhat easy, some maps have custom textures, which are made using a doom compatible TEXTUREx file from slade for the most part, some others comes from parts of other textures that i couldn't do in textureX still comes from Doom1. 

Tested this in PRBOOM+ (no comp level) and GZDOOM in the ultimate Doom iwad

JUMPING AND CROUCHING DISABLED.

WAD USES DEHACKED(ultimate doom format) FOR MAP NAMES AND INTERMISSION.

 

Whats the story?

Spoiler

Episode 1 :

Your name is Anderson, a marine of the "UAAC" a UAC Derivate company tasked on bringing back old abandoned bases back online, You and couple other marines were chosen to be the replacement guards in an abandoned Asteroid base until it was restored, everything went alright but they Redacted the purpose of the base to you and colleagues, until near at the end of your service work, while being in your guard post, you receive a message from the science team that they need help, an entire demonic fleet has ambushed nearly all of the base everywhere, reinforcements wouldn't arrive until a couple of light years, so you are on your own to get there. 

Save the team and maybe find a way out of this soon-to-become hellhole. 

 

Episode 2 :

Taking place little bit prior to Episode 1, Your name is Javier, the Head Scientist to the restoration project of the asteroid base as tasked by your superiors, You recieved orders to restore a prototype teleporter to test and ""potentially"" repurpose it, The work went well at first untill they needed to test out if living beings would go from A to B, After some animal tests not going well, before any more tests could be done, the team recieves readings of an enourmous amount of objects were being teleported above the asteroid base location, many of the science team Didn't knew what it was, but you did, Without Pause you order 3 of your most trusted scientist to join you in a risky teleportation experiment, while everything was setting up, you wrote a message to the guards to request a rescue of the science team, as for you and your 3 scientists, you are headed to where those objects came from: HELL.

And how does it end?

Spoiler

Exploring the Factories you discover that these bases were indeed constructed by the UAC specifically for these hellish envirements and why they were made, it turns out the materials used for the prototype teleporters were made from Hell material, after succesfully Scaring the Mastermind who was heading not only just the production of the the materials used, but the invasion of the asteroid base, you try to stop the machinery, only to activating a production line and ending up being part of it, trapped, with no way to escape other than a soon approaching painfull demise, with unknown being watching you while it drinks as these were the last thing you saw before ending up as meat for a mechanical being with a directive "Punish the survivors of the asteroid base."

[Redead-ITA]

Blind gameplay, didn't took long enough except the deaths on the secret map. Enjoy.

I think the Descent music suits it pretty well, and you should just use the Descent soundtrack for the whole thing.

I just finished playing through it @Redead-ITA and this may be my own bias talking as this is the first real community WAD I've really played, but I had a blast with it. Your level design is compact, but really interesting and quite dynamic at times. There's a certain beauty in their simplicity I really dig. Enemy placement and traps were really fun and kept me on my toes and I loved how you managed to keep surprising me with cacodemon ambushes throughout.

 

Really lovely work, fam. :^)

I decided to go with your recommendation, but i decided to change it a little for the intermission (which in this case uses descent 2), i will release the update once i wait for leodoom to tell me where he meant by texture missalignments on M6

Glad to hear you love it, i am considering doing a sequel to it in the upcoming future (using doom 2), However it is probably be a long time before i will do it.

Alright double post to announce a new update to punishment:

-Now all maps have custom music tracks from Descent.

-Fixed bugs from the triggers to the alignments from What leoDoom has pointed out in the recording.

Hey I really like the maps! I just went through E1M1 to E1M3 and its pretty fun. Good layout design i like it with the texture use and non linear pathways.

 

Edit: I now got to E1M8 and WOW its a really creative and cool wad. I like what you did
 - Great Sky  It just feels like miles and miles of empty space around the base if you look outwards not upwards
 - clever mechanisms and map design
 - awesome lighting
 - clever use of switches

Small Notice that i have updated the file again, this one however is a small bug fix update, if i do not find any issue with it i might post in in the IDarchives.

Hmm, perhaps the lock-in to the red key in E1M9 could be a 9-second one instead of 30? Also, one of the shotgunners that spawn in the blue key room is on one of those sewage drains unlike the rest which are in the nukage itself, only in Z-ports. Other than those, I have no issue with this c:

To sum up:

E1M9

Made redkey lock in stay 9sec and made the shotgunner teleport be closer to the nukage.

E1M6

Made a bar that was supposed to be impassable, well impassable.

All maps:

Added exit signs to where the exit is.

UPDATE(And potentialy the last one): Punishment Discontinued Episode 2 has been added, Along with Widescreen assets for Episode 1 and hud and whatnot, It's minor stuff but i wanted to add it to it. Reason for Episode 2 being made was originally to make it a rich addition before i wanted to add it to IDGames, however seeing I never finished it and lost motivation to end it, However seeign i didn't want it to basically rott in my hard drive i finished all of the maps that i could (which are 2) and also decided to improve some stuff from my previous E1 Maps along with it, (Changes Mostly range from Improved Visibility and the likes.), I added the story stuff from Episode 2 in the first post along how i planned it to end it, Credits have also been updated.
