When can we expect the compiled project to be available do you think?

I'll try and get it out in a timely manner, but currently there's a hearty amount of work that needs to be done to make the whole thing ready for primetime: resource gathering, source citing, graphics, it's gonna keep me busy for a while. I'll get back to you on that one, heh.

Ladles and jellyspoons, time is up! Well, technically it was up 4 hours ago, I think timezones screwed me over somehow. Thanks to everyone who submitted a map, thanks to everyone who showed interest in participating (there's always this year ;D) and a special thank you to @Biodegradable for testing people's maps: you're a greater person than I, I can say that with certainty.

 

Now work starts on the compilation! Anyone who's submitted a map before the deadline can update their map as long as the changes they're looking to make aren't too extensive: things like bugfixing and gameplay balancing are fine, extensive detailing and new bits of architecture are, shall we say, frowned upon. The post below the OP has been updated with all the submissions received: let me know if I've missed anything!

 

Now, goodbye 2021! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Thank you so much for testing it! I'm so pleased that you made it through :)

 

The BFG is mainly a gift for making it; As you saw, if you find and activate the switch in the last room that starts the crushing ceilings, you don't really need to fire a single shot for 100% kills. That is, of course, if you wait for the crushers to do their work.. otherwise you can help with the BFG or just walk out by that point.. like you did ^^

 

Speaking of "finding & activating", there's a secret where you can raise two small covers for that one area with the raising stairs.. but it's cool to see that you made it through without. I knew it was possible but I still thought I'd add something to make it easier for someone less skilled at playing than you (like me, for example) ^^

 

I hope you enjoyed it- thank you for playtesting all these maps (not just mine)!

59 maps for this project is a pretty big number of maps submitted! Congrats to all!

Consider it done, mate. Needs more sludge!

Ehrm.. I.. uhm..

^{I uploaded an updated version.}

 

I realized there's a way to soft lock yourself if you make it onto the walkways on the sides of the starting room without having acquired the key. I didn't add or take away any sectors for the fix, though- I just made two sectors additional blocking rooms that get lowered when the player passes the key door, basically.

 

Here's the file. It's not really a critical bug but I don't like having potential progress breakers like that:

Sorry.. and thank you!

Appreciate the play-through mate! Good to see it being done by someone else! Couple things I need to tweak I think.

The skippable Cacodemons and Barons, didn't mean for them to be skippable.
The Barons not spawning near the end is actually a line trigger under the rocket launcher pickup, didn't trigger for some reason.
The hole in the sewers part, kinda silly. Maybe I should make that blocked or insta death lol.
Couple secrets you missed obviously, maybe they're not obvious enough, or they're just right, hmm don't know.

And... More sludge!

Good luck with compiling Obsidian and well done to everyone who mapped and playtested ( <3 @Biodegradable).

@Obsidian - I know there's a whole lot of work to do for compiling, if you need a hand with some stuff like making CWILs or something lemme know.

[DoctorNuriel]

@Biodegradable thanks for going big on the playtesting!! I'd love for you to check out Noroi :))

also many thanks to @Obsidian for hosting this lovely project!!

[Rudolph]

So what now? Are all the submissions going to be put into a PK3 file like the Master Levels launcher?

[DoomRevolver]

@Obsidian I updated Annihilation Temple to V.1.5 for some changes in balance

I love the

gun-shaped part of the map

, that must be some kind of signature, right? Really nice map overall, a solid challenge!

Yes it is hahaha It's the first time I used it. Thanks a lot for playing it, really.

Could you tell me what difficulty did you choose?

I made a few tiny tweaks (and also added music that isn't d_runnin) to Noroi! This is the final-final version for inclusion :)

I just played this, a fun short map. Good work on the Japanese decoration and the music choice.

Thank you so much :)) I always wanted to make a map in this style ever since playing Shadow Warrior '97 and I'm glad folks enjoy it!

@lokbustam257 Noticed a bit of a bug in your submission. Tested in ZDoom, if that's relevant.

 

 

I can probably fix it if need be, but I wanted to let you know in case you wanted to fix it yourself. Or you could leave it in, it's very much up to you: as important as quality control is in a community project, it's slightly lower on the priority list when it comes to this one. :P

A slightly updated version of my map.

 

Download - Hangnail v2

 

Changes:
- fixed some texture alignments
- added doorstops to some doors
- some more health in most areas
- final archvile is now turreted

 

Also apologies if I was supposed to rename my sky--I wasn't sure since it was from a commonly used source.

[lokbustam257]

@Obsidian uhm sure, go for it
