[BluePineapple72]

^{logo by @Peccatum Mihzamiz}

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A SLAY NIGHT!

 

On the morning of the 23rd I had a very impulsive idea, and then two days later we have 45 maps! It's a Christmas miracle!

 

Special thanks to Death Bear, Peccatum Mihzamiz, muumi, myolden, and the rest of the PUSS event staff for helping make this spur of the moment ordeal something super special.

 

WAD File: PUSS 23 - Mappin Round the Doommas Tree - idgames

Port: Boom limit removing - Complevel 9

       - Tested in GZDoom/PRBoom

Resources: Doomxmas - Compiled in wad.

IWAD: Doom II

 

RC2 will likely be final. It'll contain any necessary map changes and fixes as well as a secret exit for map45. There will also need to be a CREDIT graphic.

OP:

Spoiler

 

ey kids! When I was trudging around the bottom of hell, I remembered that I'm actually a very impulsive person. It's also the Christmas season! Doing an event now also means that I'll also be able to name our third anniversary PUSS XXX! Two PUSSs in one month! A Doommas miracle! It's my gift to you. 

So uh, let's get this fruitcake and make some Christmas maps!

 

 MAPS MUST BE MADE IN AN HOUR OR LESS - We're not thinking too hard about the maps for this wad. Just make some shit with the included resources and send them to me. This is as close to classical speedmapping as we've gotten, so hurry up.

 

 BOOM FORMAT - No jumping/crouching

 

 USE THESE RESOURCES

 

 GRAB ANY RULES FROM THE PREVIOUS DOOMMAS EVENTS AS YOU'D LIKE. MINIMUM 2.

 

12 Days of Doommas Rules:

12 hours of mapping

11 Shotgun shells

10 Sector limit

9 Elementals

8 Former humans

7 Brainy Spiders

6 Power Spheres

5 Archviles

4 Cyberdemons

3 Damage floors

2 Keycards

1 BFG

 

12 More Days Rules:

12 Barrels O' Fun

11 Former Humans

10 Beefy Barons

9 Cell Charge Packs

8 Hours of Mapping

7 Crushing Ceilings

6 Secret Sectors

5 ARCH-VILES

4 Voodoo Dolls

3 Doomcute thingies

2 Cyberdemons

1 Bone Closet in a Trick Door

 

 MAPPING IS CLOSING ON CHRISTMAS EVE AT 11:59PM! I don't want to keep you kids up when Santa breaks into your house, so you better map pretty fucking quickly. That means right now. Open up builder right now kid.

 

Normally I'd put a bunch of guidelines here for how to make your level. I don't really care for this event. This is a 'I got a wild hair up my ass' and decided to make a really good (or bad depending on your perspective) decision' moment for me, so just spend 1 hour on your level and send it to me. 

 

I'll make a compilation of all of the levels sent to me at a later date. Make sure there aren't any bugs cause I'm gonna be too busy trying to find where I put my Mysterious Mayan Madness map to try and tell you to unpeg all of your doortracks.

 

Here are some midi links:

MIDI LINKS:

Midi Site Link Megathread

Check out our other stuff too. The bottom of the current event has a block of links that I usually copy paste. You're only getting a picture this time.

BFG spamming the horde of former humans and constantly hearing "Merry Christmas everyone! Ho ho ho!" overlapping gave me a good laugh :)

The Exit switch is now fixed. Plus I added in 12 barrels since I did not see that rule where I had to put in two of the rules minimum in the map
