Doom 14 Supreme Adventure (GZDOOM) (12 maps, UDMF)

 ^ trailer!!!

https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&amp;t=74494 < zdoom forums thread for some reason

first of all, mouselook jumping and crouching are required, pistol starts are very heavily recommended and are the only way the levels were tested.

also all compatibility settings should be set to default or things like rocket-jumping might break

 

this wad is a lot of things: it's pretty inspired by cruelty squad and weird 2000s stuff and its style (and in places, mock2 and other jokewads, despite this not being a jokewad), it's something i made (or at least began) when i was frustrated with doom modding and mapping, basically just going "you know what? why attempt to make what everyone else is already making, why don't i just go apeshit on the editor" also, since i'm very burned out on vanilla doom the maps are built on a cocktail of gameplay mods: supercharge (with fucked up sprites and sounds), nashmove and mario agility are the main ones (stomping on mario agility is recommended but doesn't matter much, just makes pinkies less annoying) (also theres otex)

screenshots should be on the bottom? also theres 2 secret maps

difficutly settings are implemented, but like 3 things change in the whole wad (i may implement them more in a update but idk im pretty tired of working on this)
                          
i made the level entry + cast roll graphics and OST, as well as all the weapon sprites and some sound effects & textures (mostly the face ones, the other ones are either tiled wallpapers or OTEX), i DID NOT make the base of map06 (it's a slige map i fucked up in the editor, idk if its allowed) and the custom monsters that are used, even if they're all edited, are from realm667 and belong to their authors and all that

 

i hope thats everything

a mod

(seriously tho i hope you enjoyed it, thanks for playing)

It was cool, though I should say some of the jumping almost feels a little too precise, like it's almost like you need the exact right timing to get out of those platforms going up/down near the end of level 2 because of the low-ceilings on a few of them.

[msx2plus]

actually pretty dope - i got stuck at the part in map02 with the up arrows since i have no idea how to advance. i'll skip ahead to see the rest.

 

up until that point, map02 has had a strong emotional affect on me that i'm having a hard time putting into words. the overwhelming noise and reflections are a lot to parse and it has a heavy atmosphere. i like it a lot.

 

appreciate some of the goofball weapon graphics and sloppy 1995-idgames-ftp map structure.

 

it's clear that despite appearances, it's not a joke, you're just creating in a non-critical way, letting things happen regardless of where it goes. the more you are willing to let go and create freely, the more you really dig into yourself and realize something that only you can create at only that point in time. it's always nice to see that in the world of doom. i'll take a "bad" interesting, freewheeling piece of work over a "good" generic techbase any day of the week. making garbage for the sake of making anything at all in difficult times can often have pretty amazing outcomes.

 

cheers!

[msx2plus]

wanted to double-post because i feel it's worth it: i played through this tonight (admittedly i cheated a couple times, i was more invested in seeing the rest than actually playing some of the parts, i'm sure the misery and hostility of some of the encounters is fully intentional. still couldn't figure out how to advance past the arrows in map02 tho) and really enjoyed it. i encourage a soundtrack release via bandcamp or something. there are a lot of cool ideas and neat set pieces here. it definitely leans heavily on cruelty squad, but it's appreciable in its own right. for those that lack that point of reference, you could also see it as "lilith.pk3 meets benjogami feat. every custom monster dialed up to 11". the uneasy undertones are always appreciated and there's a keen sense of humor and grandeur throughout.

[eltiolavara9]

thank you so much for your feedback! yeah, in a lot of maps you're not supposed to kill everything, just rush past things before they get worse

and in that part at map02 you're supposed to rocket-jump up (admittedly i could have made that more clear, but idk how) (also yeah the platforming in map02 scales pretty suddenly, sorry about that)

 

anyways i'm glad it's not JUST cruelty squad and about the ost i wanted to release it by itself in a video & bandcamp format

thanks for playing! i'm really happy to see people like something this weird :D

and yeah the whole "strong emotional effect that's hard to put into words" i think was something i wanted to do for every map as well

wait, really? i tried it every which way. tried it off the ground, off the arrows, off the wall, everything. was i supposed to change the jump physics in the options or something? i was sure that was the solution but couldn't line it up, even running backwards off the second platform up before jumping and firing. i need a vid!! hahaha - i love first person platforming (especially classic doom, though this is a far cry from that!) so i'm keen on learning it.

huh ok then i'll make a video (also hell yeah fellow fps platforming enjoyer)

update: havent made the video yet, but... https://eltiolavara9realwtfevilform.bandcamp.com/album/doom-14-supreme-adventure-ost

sorry for taking so long and also bumping but here it is

[eltiolavara9]

updated the wad! its still uploading to moddb as i type this but google drive should have the file already

new map10 sky and music, map tweaks (mostly aesthetic), new map05 music and entry screen, made custom enemies more distinct and interesting to look at and hear, made map05 boss not completely bullshit to hit

made it more true

[eltiolavara9]

fuck it another update

more map changes and other tweaks, i tried to make every weapon feel beefy and satisfying to use

also new secret map! also there's a trailer now!

updated the drive link, moddb link should follow

[msx2plus]

i found the issue re: rocket jumps - there's a gzdoom option that changes whether or not explosions launch the player vertically, which i usually have off. probably worth noting in the readme maybe, in case other folks have the same issue. excited to check out the update when i have a moment, keep up the awesome.

[pampoo79]

I'd love to play this but I lack patience to get even past map01. why must this be so hard? "go back up"? how?!

 

ok Im supposed to jump, why didnt u say so. Gonna have some fun with this for sure

Is this option one of the compatibility flags? If that's the case, since this is a GZDoom mod anyway, the best solution would be to force this particular compatibility flag on in the ZMAPINFO lump. I think that tends to override player-selected compat flags, so there's no risk of anyone accidentally getting stuck because they have the wrong one.

[pampoo79]

so "the hole" was not fun, the music is horrible (I get it, it's sort of the purpose) and I just cheated at one point. Maybe take away the need to constant jumping in most of the areas...

[pampoo79]

you have this pistol start option in there, is that available as a standalone mod? couldnt quite find it

 

e: nvm, I use this now

i'll note it on that (and probably use it as an excuse to make some more small tweaks) and on the thread, thanks! hope the update is good :)

for now im working on something else too, also using modified supercharge

if it gets big too i'll make a thread for it

yeah ok good point i could make the music slightly less grating, maybe make it more muffled or ambient

also about the constant jumping you can just hold spacebar to bhop automatically but i'll see what i can do that doesnt involve doing that that keeps the area stressful

update: apparently that's not possible with mapinfo yet so i just put it on the post, good enough

udpdate

[eltiolavara9]

alright updated the wad again, took the readme change as an excuse to update some music (THE HOLE, map05 and ending), add exactly 1 hint and make some other tweaks (most notably the second part of map04 being less annoying and more skill-based)

bandcamp update soon (edit: its done)

Sorry for the bump...

 

Are you supposed to keep the flying ability after finding the secret object in MAP02? I have a hunch that I shouldn't, but I'm asking regardless.

 

Thanks
