Bourgeois Megawad, 30 Maps targeting Unity Port - NOW ON IDGAMES!

[Doomkid]

Introducing a new vanilla & unity-compatible megawad with fellow conspirators @Decay and @Razgriz!

 

 

* 8-2-2021: BOURGEOIS IS COMPLETE! *

 

Now on idgames!! https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/deathmatch/megawads/bourgfix

TSPG Mirror (OLD VERSION) https://allfearthesentinel.net/zandronum/download.php?file=bourgdm.wad

This megawad is 100% universally compatible, features thrilling SP and DM gameplay, runs in every port and adheres to vanilla limitations. Any and all resources that are not original to Doom are made by the wad authors (us), and are mostly supplementary to Doom's existing resources. The maps are a combination of original layouts, remixes, and converted maps from previous projects such as Don't Be A Bitch, AeonDM, and NeonDM. So while some people may have played the maps before on Zandronum, they will be new for players on Zdaemon, Odamex, Vanilla or Chocolate Doom!

 

We've recently made it to the 30 map mark, and have implemented some fun new features:

 

• Pistol, Shotgun and Chaingun all have an increased ROF!
• The HURRICANE FISTS from Rowdy Rudy II make their return here!
• Rockets and Plasma projectiles travel at a faster speed!
• New textures, graphics and other visual details!
• Single Player and Coop now implemented! (No one to frag with? Try on the demons for size in these little "challenge arenas!")

 

Feb. 8th: Development is now FINSIHED. All maps are now complete! Some screenshots of the arenas below:

 

 

 

One goal we had in mind while making this was potentially being selected as an addon for the Unity console ports - if the community enjoys this set, we would love to see the console players granted some fun DM turf to take advantage of that sweet 4-player splitscreen, not to mention 30 new arenas to blast some demons in!

 

HAVE FUN!

Recently I started to explore some DM maps on my own. The loneliness and the feeling of oblivion gave me certain feelings of peace and tranquility. It was hard for me to imagine that these were brutal battlegrounds. Even if I don't play DM, I'll keep an eye on this.

[Doomkid]

Thanks Endless! When I used to wander around lonely DM maps before I discovered internet deathmatch in 2001, I felt the exact same way.

Wow glad to see another prog in the works! I miss dm'ing with y'all and cool to see dk on the team for this one; let me know if you could use an extra body to fra-- help test the maps ;D Also hyped for vanilla-compatible fade ^^

[Doomkid]

Thanks Fonze! At this rate we should have a new beta ready for testing soon, I’d love to have you in for the next session.

Be sure to let me know if there's any other maps you'd like to see converted... so long as Razgriz or myself are listed as original authors I will see if I can make a reasonable convert, or if not by one of us I'll have to put some thought into remixing (like digitality)

[MikeyScoots]

Im lowkey offended I couldnt contribute to this. This looks truly amazing though!

[Doomkid]

Thanks a lot Mikey, means a lot coming from a fellow DM wadsmith!

[JacenXYZ]

I'd love to try this out when it comes out.

[Lippeth]

These maps look great! I wish my internet was reliable enough to actually take advantage of this during the day, but I'm excited to check it out during the odd hours of the night, or at least wander the empty maps, dreaming of a more stable connection.

[Walter confetti]

looks awesome!

[Decay]

It hasn't been easy demaking some of the UDMF maps. I am not a fan of vanilla mapping, that is for sure. But at least with simple limits it's easy to put out something simple too

 

 

Sometimes the demakes actually come out for the better. "Pretending to be Original" was originally made for Don't Be A Bitch Last Man Standing 1, in late 2014, and was replaced by Progduel02: Fade in DBAB Remastered. It really hasn't seen much play time, and is quite ugly

 

But I think the vanillafication has done good things for it

 

[OpenRift]

We are definitely gonna do this on a Doom II at the Deathmatch club when it's ready ;)

[Zillah]

Ah yes, I love the classic look. Even Remade-DM maps should still be a blast! A very interesting experiment indeed...

[Doomkid]

Thanks for the kind comments!

 

We're keeping it going, here's some screenshots of new/touched up areas:

Some new screenshots of further progress! Decay in particular has been hard at work and the results are looking fantastic:

 

 

 

Here's a download link to the current: (old removed)

 

Please note that basically everything here is still subject to change, and that maps 06, 12, 27, 29 and 30 are still in an unplayable state.

 

Hope you like what you're seeing so far, the finish line is within reach!
