YUM.wad [MBF21]

[Meowgi]

IWAD: DOOM2.WAD [complevel 21]

Tested with: DSDA-Doom v0.24.3

MAP Format: MBF21

Difficulty settings: Yes

Co-op: Not currently implemented. Will be implemented for final release.

 

YUM.wad is a short mapset made during nanowadmo 2022 with each map designed
around various single fight setups as well as platforming challenges when
launched with -nomonsters. The idea is to allow the player to inspect the fights
prior to starting them, so they know which monsters will be placed prior to
starting with no surprises or gimmicks.

 

Please note: The intended difficulty is Ultra-Violence, but the fight balance
is (hopefully) finely tuned for a skilled player. If you are having
trouble with a particular map/fight, the difficulty settings only affect
the amount of health/armor given when dropped to Hurt Me Plenty, and sometimes
a more powerful weapon on the Easy difficulties. If you are struggling on UV,
there is absolutely no shame in attempting the map on HMP, then coming back
to UV when you've worked out a strategy!

 

Monster behavior changes:
There is a 1000 HP Cyber in some of these maps, noted by its grey wires (as opposed to fireblu for the normal variant)
Archviles, Mancubi, Cacodemons, and Revenants cannot infight, but still deal damage to each other

Spoiler

MAP31 is accessible from MAP06, and MAP32 from MAP31

 

Origin/Limitations:

Spoiler

 

Creating this was mostly a mapping exercise for me; A way to work within
specific limitations when building a map in order to focus on non-slaughter
fight geometry and balance (as well as voodoo trickery).

 

The specific limitations I gave myself were:

- Uses a similar general design for each map (exit tele, fight platform, liquids, etc).
- Focuses gameplay on two weapons per map.
- All monsters are visible prior to starting the fight.
- No more than 15-20 monsters as not to add too much complexity or length.
- No items/pickups during any fight, including health.
- Fights are aimed to be roughly a minute long.
- Multiple fight strategies (in terms of target prioritization) should be viable.*
- All 8 main maps have a No Monsters variant, designed to be challenging "W-Key" platforming.**

 

*Besides MAP01, basically
**Besides MAP08

MAP32 follows none of these rules whatsoever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spoiler

gameplay was rlly unique, so the concept of being shot from all sides killed me a lot. 

 

[Gosu_Noob]

Thank you this was great!

 

[Petyan]

Good wad.

[Napsalm]

Aww yis, here we go

[Meowgi]

RC2 is live! If there are no other major issues I find in the next few days, I will add co-op support and submit to idgames.

[Meowgi]

uhh some stuff was completely broken with RC3 due to me hastily adding co op support. idgames rejected for duplicate IWAD resources found anyway so I've now reuploaded - I recommend downloading the most recent version until then.

[Spendoragon]

MMM. Good shit brother. Very good shit.

[Meowgi]

Now on idgames! Thanks to everyone who played/streamed/died to it

[Red Recluse]

Excellent brilliant.
