I mean... aren't you following the thread & therefore getting a notification every time someone posts in it? It's not like we need visibility at this stage since we're not recruiting or releasing...

We have no more slots for mapping but it appears that maps are in development.

 

A project that I made a while ago is still being worked on too! It just takes some time.

I understand you :)

[OpenRift]

@IggySqiggles informed me that they're currently suffering from burnout, so I'll open up their slot.

 

So that means @MikeyScoots (E1M8), @Bobby “lolmcswagger” (E2M7), @Jark (E3M7), and @Dusty_Rhodes (E4M6), I need an update from y'all on your respective maps and whether or not you need to drop out.

I think I may have a map or two that may need a replacement, since they're not meeting our quality standards.

[Bobby :D]

My map may not be done till next month honestly, I've taken full responsibility for my education.

Good on you, doing a lot better thank me lmao. So in that case would you be okay if I open your slot up to someone else?

[Bobby :D]

Sure, if it helps

[Dusty_Rhodes]

I'm still working on mine. I have a lot in my plate, but don't want to drop out. I'll try and finish it sometime soon.

University hit me like an overburdened truck with a slightly leaky back-axle, but I still wish to submit - got a rough layout and the style I want, I must admit this is my first proper venture into deathmatch mapping, so please replace the pre-emptively removed glass cover on the Cacoward cabinet.

 

Here is a crusty screenshot of an intersection area (where quite a few paths cross), I'm quite a fan of interconnectivity, although I most likely will need constructive criticism from versed deathmatch-tioneers to tinker and tune. 

 

Spoiler

 

I do have a name which I think fits the theme: Chisel

I have an idea for a sort of Tom Hall-esque map. I'll take E2M7.

Well, I don't visit the forum every day, wish I could, and a lot of the times when I view the forum, I don't login. ~unless I make a post of course.

 

Anyway, good to see some recent activity! ;) 

 

Cheers!

The map seems to flow well, but I'm not sure what to think about the secret exit switch inside the BFG closet, since authors might not like to have their levels passed up before M8. :\ 

You make a really good point, I wasn't sure about that either. Didn't know what's "standard procedure" in deathmatch regarding secret exits.
Here's the latest version with the secret exit removed (no other changes):

Nice! thanks for making the change.

Love those bookshelves and vine textures too, since I hadn't mentioned them in my previous post, btw. ;)

Oh yeah! I forgot to credit them, they are from Quake Arcane Dimensions.

I think the standard is no "secret" exit. I'm pretty sure when you finish a round on level 8, it will just take you to M9, and the M1 of the next episode.

Hope I'm not bothering anyone by replying now, but what's you people's situation music-wise? I'm asking because I'd like to contribute a MIDI or two.

Apologies again for the bump.

No big deal, I could use a midi for E4M7.

Neat, do you have any request as to what you'd want it to sound like?

Something energetic, maybe lots of synths and a good drum hook.

I think synths need to be in Doom music more.

I really like the drums in this simple but catchy. Something in the vein of this would be very nice. I can see you're a Marathon fan, so you'll probably appriciate it.

I haven't got anything planned for E4M5 midi-wise, so you can contribute a track for that map too if you like.

Here's the thing: all the episode 4 levels in Ultimate Doom use MUS lumps from previous episodes, so I can't really include any unique episode 4 music. Plus, I already got a full house in terms of the music department.

Oh, that's a bummer, I'm not an expert on how MUS lumps work and if something can be done to allow for custom music to be used, still, I'll be following the development of this WAD as always, can't wait to see more.

Custom music can be used, but due to the fact that e4m1 is using the same music as e1m8, upon replacing the song of the latter one, e4m1 will play the exact same song.

Hey @Jark @Blast_Brothers how are you guys coming along with your maps?
