2 ENEMY COMMUNITY PROJECT [DEVELOPMENT THREAD]

[El Jeff]

(this isnt the titlepic, i just thought it was funny)

ever since i saw the doom modding scene, i've always wanted to start a community project. this is my first project, i sure do hope it's successful! 

 

Hi Everyone, the 2 enemy community project is a restriction project for doom 2 where mappers are limited to 2 enemy types. The goal is a 32 level megawad with levels that are short and simple, yet challenging. I feel the 2 enemy limit will make mappers think about enemy placement and how to make combat more interesting.

 

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS

• This CP is for the doom2 iwad
• You can use up to 5 custom textures. Maps must be compatible with PRBoom+ Comp Level 9 , as it is our target source port. Custom Midis and Skies are allowed.
• There can be only 2 monster types in a map
• 500 Monster Limit
• Pain Elementals count as one enemy type, not two. If you place lost souls by hand they'll count as a separate monster

SUBMITTING A MAP

• You can only submit 1 map
• Playtest your maps. I will playtest them at the end with some friends to make sure they're balanced and fun but it'll be much better for everyone involved to playtest their maps beforehand
• The deadline is September 30th
• All mappers are allowed, it'd be hypocritical if i didnt do that
• Add Co-op spawns
• To sign up, just say "@Thatonespymain i'm in, my two monsters are [Insert your two monsters]". each two monster pair has a maximum of three maps to them, for example you cant use the Revenant Chaingunner pair because it has been used 3 times (MAP 04, MAP 09 and MAP 21)

GUIDELINES AND OTHER STUFF

The one map constriction is there so that one guy cant do half the megawad, i don't know what guy would do that but better safe then sorry. You can map in any style just please keep it relatively short. If you make a slaughter map dont make it scythe 2 level of difficulty, If you make a puzzle map make it so that it can be completed without searching up a walkthrough and if you make an adventure map dont make it a twisty, confusing mess. 

 

Try to pick your 2 monsters wisely, because once you lock you can only switch twice. The three map monster pair rule is too avoid a whole megawad of Archviles and Revenants, this will force mappers to think of interesting ways to use each enemy in the doom 2 roster to their full potential. Commander keens and barrels dont count as individual monsters, Icon of sin does count as one.

 

Regularly post your maps, I will react to the message if i have played your maps and tell you what i think of them. If your map isnt done by the deadline, tell me and i might extend it - Just because this is a rule doesnt mean you cant just not map until a day before the deadline, do not abuse this!

 

The dehacked file to test this with is 2ENEMYCOMMUNITYPROJECT.zip, it has a few small changes like adding Bossdeath to all enemies and making archviles able to resurrect other archviles.

EDIT: Due to the large amount of people wanting to join in on this project i've decided to extend the map slots depending on demand, so if you have a good idea for a map but all slots are taken then do not worry: It'll keep extending up to MAP 64.

 

Also thanks to everyone who joined so far, it's been wonderful seeing how many people joined. My friend told me this'll be a waste of my time because he thought no one would want to map for it but we were surprised to see the amount of people that wanted to make a map for this project. It means a lot to me that my first community project went well so far, so thank you all who joined or even read this post (You all made my day :D)

Interesting, reminds me of Mayhem 2013 gimmick.

[IcarusOfDaggers]

@Thatonespymain Map 01 Mancubus and Cacodemons. I think the idea I have would suit for introductory map, short and fast paced "throw the person into the fray" intro map. Oh: I'm in!

K, added you on the OP

[ViolentBeetle]

@Thatonespymain Shotgunnners and chaingunners. I think I want to make a relatively easy hitscan cleanup map, like MAP02.

[Jayextee]

Are pain elementals technically one enemy or two?

[Kuro_mahoh]

@Thatonespymain i'm in, my two monsters are the Chaingunner and the Revenant for my map, I wish to take the MAP04 slot for this one.

[Luleta]

@Thatonespymain im in! this looks super fun

i want something weird, arachnotrons and pain elementals, dunno what i can pull off but we'll see.

dont think ill make it too hard so anywhere on the mid to earlier levels should be ok :^3

[Noiser]

@Thatonespymain Alright, I will be the crazy one and do a Cyberdemon + Spider Mastermind on the 30 slot

God have mercy of my soul

[scwiba]

Oh no. I wasn't planning on committing to any more projects for a while but I just happened to log into DW and see this. And I think it would be funny to have worked on both this and the 1Monster megawad. So what the heck, I'm in. I'll do zombiemen and spider masterminds. Slot... I don't know, 11?

[TMD]

Oh hi MAYhem2013

[knifeworld]

Pen me down for pain elementals and zombiemen on map20, please!

[Bob9001]

@Thatonespymain I'll take map 03 please, thinking about an early cyberdemon map with spectres?

Edited June 16, 2022 by Bob9001

[Savarin]

@Thatonespymain nice, I'm in. I'd like map 07, please :D

 

My monsters are Mancubi and Arachnotrons, because, you know... funny purposes and all

[SuperPecanMan]

@Thatonespymain I’m interested, would like to do spider masterminds and pinkies, perhaps map23?

[Astro X]

Map 06 mancubi and arachnotrons :)

[BluePineapple72]

@Thatonespymain I'd like to claim Map03: Lost Souls and Former Humans (troopers)

 

Edit: I'm also offering to make a logo for the project if you'd like. I dig pixels.

[StarfishCommand]

@Thatonespymain Thought it was about time to participate in one of these, so I signed up! I'll take Map18, and I'll keep it simple with shotgun guys and imps.

[Ordon]

this is really interesting, i'm looking forward to play it 

[Bob9001]

Am I allowed to do cyberdemons? Because there's already 3 or is it 3 maps in a row can't have the same enemies?
