"Half Moon" A 30 Minute Speedmap Community Project (Submissions Closed)

HALF MOON

After the major success of "Tenth Gear", it was decided that we should do this again with a longer time limit. This time, 30 minutes. 10 minutes was hard enough but we still got some great maps out of it so I can't wait to see what you guys can do with 3 times that amount. And also this project is to be a 64 map, 2 megawad pair as well. Bring on the maps guys! First come first serve on the slots. I feel like alot of you wanted to contribute to the last one but didn't have time so here's your chance once again!

 

Once again @Dunn & Dunn returns as co-header.

 

Rules if You Wish to Contribute.
 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

• Must be a Doom 2 WAD
• Must be Pr-Boom compatible
• Must be made within a 30 minute time limit. (If you go over by like 5 minutes that's ok just try to be honest about it.)
• Custom textures and music are allowed but no custom monsters or sound effects
• Testing and tweaking gameplay after making the map is fine and doesn't count towards time.
• Please name your map, it makes it easier for us to compile the WAD.

I'll gladly participate in this. Since I have 20 more minutes to work with, it will be much less stressful than the previous project.

 

EDIT: And here it is.

Once again, does refining fights count as time spent if those fights were built in the 30 minute time?

no you can refine what whatever you want.

[Jacek Bourne]

I may or may not do this one. I’m still not sure. If I do then I’ll be testing a concept I’ve had for a while.

[Swalzi]

I think I'm going to make a map for this project.

If anyone wants to look for inspiration as to what kind of maps can be made in 30 minutes, a doomworld thread by user "FanTazTiCxD" was made almost two years ago where contributors were given same time constraints of making a map within the allotted time.

I'm in. Just one question:

Do you mean come up with a title for the map, or name the .wad file?
EDIT: OR do you mean put in something other than MAP01???

@E.M. That was absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for your submission!

I guess I'll wait for slots to fill up a bit. Don't really want to place my map on slot 2 :)

 

Edit: nevermind, here it is: 

inferno30m02.zip, title: "Marble dreams"

 

Tried to be not very sadistic with this one) spent extra 30 minutes on tweaking and balancing to make it more playable

 

Edit 2: difficulty settings added and some misalignment fixed

Outdated!

[Dubbag]

Guys BTW If you go over by like 5 minutes that's ok just try to be honest about it. Just so people can have time to place monsters and weapons if they get constricted near the end of the time limit just to be fair.

 I'm quite keen to give this one a try too, but I'll probably wait til some more of the slots have filled up, plus I need to think a bit about what I wanna do.

Oh boy, 30 minutes is a lot shorter than I thought it was. I had 36 seconds left and had to speedmap an exit and put some decorations. It was supposed to be a Pueblo/Mexican themed level that got cut short due to realizing how much time I had left lol. I'd say It's really difficult, due to open chaingunner fire and Revenant ballets at the start, the end is crap, that simple.

Not for compilation. I went over by too much imo (45+ minutes after all the playtests and tweaks), because the gameplay needed some overhauls to get right. Just wanted to share it anyway. Would be happy if someone played it. 

 

It is called uh... "Stinkhole Showdown," and is inspired by "Sinkhole Showdown" from Ancient Aliens.

Fantastic maps so far everyone! This is great! @rd. I really like your WAD are you sure you don't want me to throw it in as a secret map or something? I know it's ten minutes over the minimum time but I feel it would be such a waste to not use it. It still suits the project I think.

That would work! Requested music when you do is D_RUNNIN (for the pun lol). For the info / txt file:

Thought it needed some balancing. Here's a new version! Added some health along the back of that computer thing. Hopefully that's enough.
