I loved the wide open spaces in your WAD. Question - how do you overcome the need to "control" what the player can do (i.e. constantly thinking - if the player goes here, can the monsters follow them, what if he goes out of bounds, can the monsters climb up this ledge, but what if the player can escape this fight easily). I find I sometimes struggle with that, and would like to make such grand (or grand-er atleast) maps.

 

It was actually real pain in the ass. If you want good gameplay don't do wide open areas, heh(or do slaughter map or something). Well I tried making smaller isolated areas to have some kind of control..This is propably the best method. Or just have big chunks without monsters at all. But I think its just fine to have areas you just can escape and just run away. Not every encounter has to be "must fight" or perfect at its execution. And when you make sure monsters can follow it can make things interesting. Or put teleport lines on edges of the big areas and "reuse" monsters. Got some negative feedback from the gunplay but actually paid much attention to it. As testing the maps if some encounter seemed to be too much grind I cut things from it or made it skippable. OFC none of it is perfect but tried my best.

What have you done with SP_FACE2 ? Or it's not even sp_face 2, but sloppy1/2.

Meant to post some of these before. This map is technically about one-third finished, but with one complete playable section for my RAMP 2023 submission. Final version to be released later this year.

These are all part of the "red" route:

 

And a glimpse of the incomplete "blue" route, through its corresponding giant pentagram gate:

This feels like if Hell decided to invest in astronomical research and spread their influence to outer cosmos

[Pechudin]

Yet more caves.

I'm not sure what episode 1 monster would have been strong enough to do this to a concrete wall but it looks cool so I'm leaving it

[TheHambourgeois]

there has been a request for a "techbase but for heretic" aesthetic, I have been making textures for that and finally trying to wrap up condemned and get rid this damn albatross around my neck. Anyway, here's some of the textures in action:

Ps: Oh, I ment to edit my last post by adding this one, but accidentally made an new post instead. My apologies.

Working on a new solo release, vaguely inspired by A.L.T.

If all goes well it should be ready by the 18th!

FoxTex is SO GOOD!

Love this design.

[LordEntr0py]

Back to mapping in MBF format for a bit. I seem to enjoy alternating formats...

Thanks, yea FoxTex is neat pack, never knew about its existence until someone recommended it in discord. Imo a little unintuitive to navigate and with a lot of fluff, but has a lot of potential thats for sure.
Played with it and PBR, looking very nice if done right

I think one of the interesting things about FoxTex it that it looks far better when the textures are actually applied in the map than it does in the texture browser.

 

And I, too, have been using Materialize to make material textures to use with FoxTex! This one's on the backburner behind a couple of other projects I need to finish first though...


Maybe we should be sharing our rendering textures. I was thinking of posting mine on Fox's Discord Channel...

A failed experiment at imagining how Doom would look had it been released on arcade machines in Japan (without editing the sprites)

This is where the city's power comes from (and the city is in a cave, as per usual).

Of all the gore and savagery that Doomguy has survived, who would've thought it would be "enemies that explode in a hail of piss" that finally broke him?

No shade, lp - I think the recolours look slick, but my juvenile brain couldn't leave that one on the table.
