Adolf in Hell

[Unregistered Account]

This is the first part of a trilogy consisted of 4 maps each, putting the player into Hitler boots on his quest for vengeance. The idea came out of a spoof on Wolf3D, since the resources to do it was surprsingly abundant and no one else seems to have done it - well, i did it. Just to be clear on the subject: this is kind of a joke wad, there's no intention on my behalf to make you feel any kind of compassion for that piece of human garbage called Adolf Hitler - just to have some fun at his expense, while playing some challenging maps with interesting visuals and good music in the background.

 

 The maps are mostly linear and simple, with focus on the encounters and shotty/rocket combat (+ some serviceable map detailing here and there); gameplay is designed and balanced around pistol start\UV max - but still poses a decent challenge for continuous play and "shortcuts" to end the level if 100% kills is not your cup of tea. Some dehacked sorcery was applied on Pinky/Specter, Arachnotron, Baron's projectile and on the Baron itself. Armor can go up to 250 and the SSG is absent on UV - HMP features it along with the exactly same enemy placement as UV. That's it, hope you have fun.

 

 

                                             -- The story so far --
                          
                           Facing certain defeat, Adolf, Stalin's favorite
                          pet, sends his men into distant lands - hoping to
                          uncover mystic secrets and weapons of mass
                          destruction to aid him in his quest for domination
                          and turn the tides of war again. He found it...

                          deep within the bowels of the earth in a forgotten

                          desert land: a heavily bobby trapped abode waiting

                          one's demand.
                          
                           Despite casualties, within the structure a hellish
                          entity was found - imprisioned in this compound.
                          With promises of unnatural powers and technology
                          advancements beyond the human reasoning, a
                          desperate and foolish Adolf agreed upon his terms
                          and freed the foul creature from his imprisonment.
                          Initially reaping the benefits of his deal, he
                          managed to regain lost ground and changed his
                          fortune by fire and steel. Protected by superior

                          firepower and his personal supply of clones, all

                          attempts against his life was frustrated and in

                          victory the pompous führer delighted.
                          
                           After a brief period of stability, thoughts of
                          paranoia began to flourish in his tormented mind.
                          Failing to contact his advisors and party members,
                          secluded from all military decisions.. to the Demon
                          he went to argue. Upon entering the Demon chambers,
                          he saw all of his torments come to life: the heads of
                          his subordinates in steel pokes impaled, pools of
                          arian blood filled with disemboweled bodies in
                          uniforms, endless hordes of nameless abominations,
                          clone soldiers wearing his own face, distorted
                          synthetic beings and the remaining forces of his
                          army swearing allegiance to the once imprisioned
                          creature. All of his attempts in taming the Demon
                          was in vain.. for now only a dissolving pile of
                          führer flesh remains.
                          
                           Upon reaching hell and suffering the tortures of
                          the damned for such time he couldnt tell, Adolf was
                          greeted by Satan's emissary, Mel; who "offers" him
                          a deal which he cannot refuse. Mel begins: "Life,
                          to walk upon the gray earth again, thou shall be
                          granted - for the creature that roams free, in his
                          former prison it can't no longer be stranded. Thy
                          sentence is to make room for my Master's sigil, for
                          his long term plans lies with Stalin and not
                          fascism. But first, to Satan you shall prove fit -
                          to face his utmost challenges that purge all the
                          weak. Fail now and this will be all of your
                          eternity to come, succeed and his bloodlust
                          champion thou shall become. To bring forth the soul
                          of the Demon and all of his "creations" and.. as
                          your rightful reward: a warmer place in my
                          cauldron, as my maid and to be our main bitch
                          during strip poker nights every two fridays."

 Adolf in Hell II is up, the planned 'trilogy of 4 maps each' has been dropped tho - i've realized that the concept is way too gimmicky for more than a few maps - so i've kept the two maps that i've found to be the best ones and scrapped the rest. This one, 'Führer Cloning Facility' (that has been in the works since forever), and another that is currently 75% done, but i'm gonna finish it next year. Hope y'all enjoy this thing for what it is.

 

 Same rules as before; no SSG on UV, armor can go up to 250, lots of despicable dehackery (monsters' hp, reaction time, projectile speed etc) - and for convenience sake: helmets and bottles are stacked up in 5 (so walk upon 1, get 5%). Secrets will make your life easier, so avoid them ;)

 Sorry for not replying before, but i was avoiding unnecessarily bumping my own thread. So, now that this is finally buried and lost into the annals of the wad section, i can attempt in responding your concerns albeit months later. Thanks in advance for everyone that gave this wad a try and/or left some impressions/feedback: @Andromeda, @TheMagicMushroomMan, @Doomkid, @Arrowhead, @galileo31dos01, @P41R47, @game, @Savarin - really appreciated.

 

 specific questions;

@galileo31dos01, regarding arachnotron: i've reduced arachno jr's reaction time, so they hopefully spend less time wobbling around and more time shooting at you. Did it worked? ;P

@roadworx, regarding a possible Mel Brooks' reference: nope, the name was choosen solely for that cringe rhyme lol (but Mel will appear in the 3rd act).

@P41R47, regarding a full mapset: it would suck.. like i said 'this is too gimicky for more than a few maps' - believe me, it would be way too repetitive. However, i'm gonna include a couple more maps onto the secret slots (31 & 32) for fuhrfacy's final revision and for the 3rd wad.

@CBM, believe or not i've never seen this 'Little Nicky' movie (got mildly curious after seeing the screenshot tho) - the only Adam Sandler's flicks i've watched are the ones that probably everyone in my country watched: Mr. Deeds and that one with Drew Barrymore (where her character keeps losing her memory day after day). These two "classics" had constantly reruns on open tv channels here in Brazil.

@roadworx & @Lol 6, regarding OBLIGE's usage: simply put? It was an experience. I see OBLIGE as a tool and i've used it to exercise some improvisation. I had a great time messing around with it and using those random generated maps as canvas for this project. Now, if you guys didn't liked the maps or felt that "something was off" about them.. well, that's on me - i can't blame OBLIGE for that :D

 

If you're interested about the original OBLIGE maps, either for plain curiosity or simply to point the finger and expose the hack fraud i am - i've attached them here, so anyone can see what i've changed, what i've kept, etc. The particular maps i've used OBLIGE are adonhell's 1-3 and fuhrfacy.

While I can respect that you call him out for what he is and your intention that this is a joke, it's in very poor taste, no matter how good the gameplay might turn out to be.  That man should never even remotely be made the protagonist of any game or story, and I frankly find this offensive.  I strongly urge you to reconsider releasing this in its current form and come up with some other theme. 

[Andromeda]

Looks interesting!

I haven't played this yet, but I could see something like this happening in a South Park video game. There are games where you play as Satan, games where you play as a homicidal methhead, and in Hearts of Iron IV, you already have the ability to play a full campaign as Hitler. Considering that this is DOOM, I'm assuming "playing as Hitler" means a new statusbar and maybe some voice overs. I have seen much more shocking things in AAA games. This is just Adult Swim style silliness. Most adult cartoons on TV are in poor taste. Hitler fighting demons is pretty low on the shock value meter for me. Hitler was already used "for fun" in Wolfenstein and countless other games as someone you shoot at, the only difference here is that Hitler is on your statusbar instead of shooting at you in a robot suit. In my opinion, fighting a robot Hitler and an unseen Hitler sprite shooting at imps and skeletons is about equal. If you find this offensive, I can't imagine that Wolf3D's lighthearted portrayal of a chibi MechaHitler running around a blue maze with quad chainguns would fare any better.

 

Anyway, those screenshots look surreal and chaotic in a good way. Nice archvile sprite in the last screenshot. At least the Nazi enemies have some context here compared to almost any other map that uses them.

I was skeptical of this wad at first, but upon playing, it's very clearly being done as a tribute to Wolf3D, the OP even says themself that Hitler is garbage, so I think there's no ambiguity on the subject.

 

I played this, it was really fun, a bit too hard for my shitty Doom skills at certain times in map03 so I admit I IDDQD'd a couple times.. Great work, very creative, and these Hell maps really do feel like Hell, which is suprisingly not super comon in Doom maps. The music adds to that a lot!

 

(Played using Doom32 in DosBox. Had to extract the DEH myself, then merge using DEUSF. Worked like a charm!)

[Arrowhead]

Looks great, keep up the good work! I really like the geometry in this WAD.

 

Hopefully nobody tries to bully you off the forum for posting a 'controversial' mod...

Played this today on UV/Crispy Doom. Much more devilish gameplay than I was ready for, but it was fun and a half. The colorful abstract hell aesthetic was nice to see as something novel crafted with stock textures - maybe a fair analogy would be TimeOfDeath's abstract texturing, though you got your own particular style there and I'm curious to see more like this (not necessarily in the same exact theme).

 

I liked the shortcuts you placed here and there, that one to the RL in m03 for example, plus the very powerful secrets and customized enemies had me wide awake -- the sped up HK projectile screwed with my muscle memory very frequently. Faster pinkies/spectres felt legitimately dangerous in the context used. The arachno-baron, whose sprite may suggest arachnotron's hitbox size when that's not the case, could pass thru thin entrances, which amused me a lot. Speaking of, you mentioned that arachnotrons went through "dehacked sorcery", but aside from a grayer brain, I didn't notice a change in the behavior, so what would be the changes?

 

Anyways, keep it up!

nah, this is actually somewhat funny, unlike some other """joke""" wads

 

btw, @pintolinh0, is mel a reference to mel brooks? considering he made the producers and all that :p

[P41R47]

This goes to the much need JOKEaward nomination, on my list, along with Doom 2 In Spain Only and Plutonia 7, 
 

As a kidder member, i love good jokes, and i couldn't help but laugh when i saw the new M_DOOM graphic having the little tyrant being gangraped by monsters.
Remind me a lot to the film Little Nicky by Adam Sandler, an over the top joke movie.

As for the maps, wow, those are really awesome hellish maps for sure.
Really hell looking!

Love the status bar, and it make my lack of playing skills to good use as is fun as hell (HAH!) see Hitler die to his own missuse of rocket launching.
Kinda shows why he loose the war :P

Also, glad that @TheMagicMushroomMan learn to appreciate joke wads.
And since this one is really though, it enters on the serious joke territory.

 

Congratulations @pintolinh0!
I demand you expand it to a full 32 mapset!
;D

Thankfully this wad seems to have absolutely zero Karens! Although I kind of want to see one do battle with Hitler now...

 

I agree though, from what I've seen of this wad (I haven't actually got started on it yet, only looked around for a few minutes), it has some really nice abstract architecture and the visual design is totally chaotic but also totally cohesive.  I suck at DOOM so I think Hitler is going to get his ass kicked quite a bit when I play this!

Playing as Hitler in Oblige maps was an... interesting experience, I don't get why would Hitler kill his own soldiers, but, whatever.

if you want to reing in hell, and take revenge of being gangraped, even when your supposed loyal soldier are there to help you but choose not, yeah, i would totally kill my own soldiers, too. In hell there are no loyalties or friends it seems...
:P

Or maybe they are in hell not only for being SS, but also traitors to the SS?

shit, you're right, these are oblige maps. i knew something felt off about them, but i kinda just thought it was purposeful and part of the whole chaotic theme of things

 

op...come on, man. don't use oblige to generate maps and then act like you were the one who made them.

emmm, it is stated right in the op that they are heavily modified Oblige maps.

Also, if they are fun to play, what is bad about that?
 

EDIT: not in the Op, but in the .txt. Sorry, i remember that i read that somewhere but didn0t double check where :P

you may want to use this pic.
It was autogenerated by Neural Blender after using the name of your wad.
And it has a weird and surrealy chaotic feel as your wad.
If you add a UMAPINFO, you can place it as a bossback.
I was planning to do it for my own copy hahaha

I can ''de-neuralblend'' it if you need.

Played the first Adolf in Hell co-op with a friend, and what a delight! I love the map design, every room looks great. My personal favorite was the dark room with all the FIREBLU, so cool.

 

We're definitely gonna play the sequels, great job! :D

[12GMONSTER]

It's been two years since this was released. I have played some offensive DOOM mods, and I have no problem with this at all, I actually like it but I don't like Hitler.

I did Nazi that coming....
