PUSS XVII: Pandemonium Speed Weeks - Claims Closed Folks!

[Steve88]

Logo Above By: @BluePineapple72

 

Welcome to the latest installment of PUSS

This time around we're changing the rules up bit with regards to mapping time.
Rather than having a given number of hours to map, we will have a given number of days, and that number is 7, one week, yes one whole week to build your map!

While getting away from the traditional speed-map, this will be more of an endurance race or marathon, whatever works for you...

 

Beta Build 1:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U7e8JTw-UNritRkYRzkgLJBHSjmazE_x/view?usp=share_link

Current Map Order in Beta Build (may change in final build)

Critical Rules:

Mappers have 7 continuous days to work on their map, and mappers must have a "playable" map at the end of this time period
You will be able to select any continuous 7 day period between now, 5/12 to and 6/16 the deadline*
UPDATE: You can claim a 7 day period until June16th, you will have seven days after your claim to submit a map. No more claims after the 16th
To help keep track of things, mappers will be required to post the on the day they start on either here on doom world OR in the channel on the Pineapple under the sea discord(see below for discord link) this to timestamp their start, then at the same time seven days later their map is due.
One other thing, with a full week of unrestricted mapping time, a skilled mapper could make a huge map, that said, please try to keep game play time on your maps under 40minuts in length, I plan on playing every submission so please don't make me regret my life choices.
 

OTHER LESS CRITICAL RULES:
To spice things up we will have list of gimmicks, though I am choosing to rebrand them as "Mapping Achievements", and I encourage you to go for cramming as many as you think you can do within the week. They are much like gaming achievements in that you get them for completing some milestone or implementing some concept. Really you don't have to incorporate any, but what would be the fun in that.

These Mapping Achievements will be tier listed, because tier lists are awesome
TIER LIST!!!!
 

S tier

• 9k linedefs (9k or more linedefs)(flavor text: It's over 9000!)
• 128 secrets (Can be nested)(Flavor Text: Can you find all 128?)

 

A Tier

• Boss Battle Builder (Incorporate a boss battle into your map, level effects, timed monster spawners, etc, look at boss battle bonanza for ideas) (Flavor Text: Gonna need a BFG For this)
• Factory Assault (Extensively utilize conveyors and effects to make your level feel like working factory)(Flavor Text: what are we building exactly?)
• Death From All Directions (Extensively utilize 3d floors, Slopes and Arches) (Flavor Text: Its still doom right?)
• 22 Sectors for 2022 (Build your map with only 22 sectors) (flavor text: This is painful...)
• Space is the Place (Build a level that takes place in space, ie a spaceship, spaces station, space platform you get the idea) (Flavor Text: In space not one can here them scream)

• Its Dynamic (make use of dynamic lighting) (Flavor text: I see the light)
• The minimizer(Build a map with avery tight ammo/health balance and monster count under 40)(Flavor text: I keep things simple)

• The floor Hurts(Level has some damaging floors) (Flavor Text: Somehow this rad suit works in lava)
• Thwomp Me Baby(Utilize Crushers in your Map) (Flavor Text: I don't think you can handle the pressure)
• Barrel Me Over(add 100 explosive barrels to your map)(Flavor Text: The barrels go Boom)
• Fireblu and you (utilize fireblue in your map the more the better)(Flavor Text: Texture of the Gods)
• I Sawed The Demons(include the chainsaw in your map, bonus up to C tier if part of the level is built around using it)(Flavor Text: Do I look like a lumberjack to you?)

 

Format:

You may map in any format you like, but it will ultimately be spliced together for GZDoom play

Difficulties:

Difficulties must be implemented at some level, at least make the ITYTD difficulty easier than the others and we'll be ok

CO-OP:

Not required, as this will be target SP, but but but, if enough people make their maps co-op compatible I will put a second wad together with the CO-OP maps and we can have a co-op sesh later on!

Textures:
We will be using the ever so classic community chest 4 texture pack, feel free to get skies from wherever you like

Custom Midis & Skies?

Highly encouraged

After My Timer Is up what now?
After the timer is up, you are still allowed to fix bugs, no major layout changes, additions or detailing though. Final fixes are due 2 weeks after I complete playing the final map.

I will attempt to play everyone's map, but it may take me partway through the summer to get to them all if their are a lot of submissions.

I'll start trying to make something, hopefully I can complete it.

I tried speedmapping before, but often fail to meet my expected deadline! Nice to have something with more room, I'm starting today.

Just played the map on ITYTD. The plasma fight had me cackling for a good few minutes :D Awesome idea! The map is quite fun. The outer path is a bit... grey, but that's only a minor thing.

@DynamiteKaitorn Had a lot of fun  working through the secret area. That arch-vile room scared me.

List of Attempted Mapping Achievements:

Comments: While this map is completable without finding any secrets, I don't think I'd recommend it. Total playtime will vary greatly depending on how many secrets you do find, as there is a lot of optional content within them. Secrets inside of secrets inside of secrets.
