The Doom Master Wadazine...

                                            ... proudly presents....

                                                                              ... The Wadazine Master Collection

 

A mapping project created by members of the Doom Master Wadazine community. The WMC is an upcoming mapping community and team-made Doom project focused on delivering different sporadic themed WADs that follow a certain selected visual and presentation theme.

 

Ranging from classic styles of known maps to some oddly new and even avant-garde ideas. We want to go wild. The main setting is going with a broad compatibility (from vanilla WADs to even GZDoom WADs, depends on the project) and trying to deliver 6 to 12 maps per WAD. Hopefully we can make this with the help of both the community and a fixed team of mappers which shall be known as Cult Masters of the Wadazine Cult.

 

And for our first ever project:

^{Special thanks to all these awesome mappers! Thanks for joining us!}

 

Maps are skill level balanced. UV is a true challenge that requieres tactics and map knowledge, so I recommend HMP or lower for first time players!

 

For the optimal visual experience, play with lightning on and load lights and brightmaps. It'll look beautiful.

» Welcoming a new era, the rise of a project from the depths of a forgotten hell. The Wadazine Master Collection is a community project done by the members and supporters of the Wadazine community, as well as some other guests. The goal is to have at least 6 maps that follow the previously mentioned rules.

 

Starting things off, we’ve decided to select a not-so-common theme to represent our first project. A challenge that shall make the Doom 3 textures come to life once more, creating an atmosphere of utter despair that only Doom can create. A Mars tech-base, an underground hellish lab, a cave filled with wires, pipes and blood, or maybe a Mars sanctum. Doom 3 textures open and entire plethora of possibilities.

 

Welcome, to the Rising.

3. Sell your soul to the Devil.

What if I already did this before I joined?  Can I sell my wife's instead?

With how things are currently going in Hell, we'll accept your offer.

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Wow, those screenshots look incredible. Loving this idea! Hopefully these projects draw in a lot of veterans and newcomers alike. 

[Doom_Dude]

This sounds like my kind of projectile.

 

UDMF - That's my kind of thing.

Custom texures - good, good..

Sell Soul - Don't have one but can fake it.

Other stuff - ok.

I really love those textures, but the monsters stood out a little cartoony on it.

Why don't add the monster resource pack use by the DBP26: City of the Damned Children?

Doom 64 monsters look really cool with more reallistic textures :)

[Biodegradable]

Oh boy, a new map set to get moist over. ^w^;

Maybe we'll do something like that in the future, who knows ;))

But wait until lightning does its magic!

As a current fan of the projects, the DBP series is a major inspiration.

Although I did not do anything for this project, I saw very closely how everyone worked together to complete the project, I am very happy to see this finished and many congratulations to all the mappers who worked on this! n.n

[TheEvilGrin]

Wow, it's out ! I actually haven't played the other maps yet, I'll do that right away. 

Anyway, it was really fun working on my map, especially since I had never used Doom 3 textures before. Plus, this is my first ever map that gets into a big project and gets publicly realeased, so I'm kinda proud of it. I hope you'll have fun.

[danidf96]

A successful first map! You did a great job. :D

Found a bug in one of the first elevators! You click one time to call it, you call it a second time it falls under the map!
