I'd like to check-in with a prototype, I'd say map is done for about 10% currently. Please tell me what you think of it in general, and how's my midi too(it is WIP aswell).

I'm still on it!

I didn't make too much progress this time because I was busy on other things but at least I've been thinking of some ideas for the rest of the secrets.

I'll make some actual progress as soon as I can.

No rush. Thanks for the update

My check-in is that I have made no progress since last check-in. I was working on my submission for PUSS XXV: Lunacy instead.

That's fair! Thanks for the check!

And I think I have now some improvements to do to my map, since I've experienced myself with Boom recently... So those next days will be about polishing hehe.

Amazing, I can't wait to see it!

Checking in. Still working on it.
Thus far, I have 2 out of the 6 secrets done, and the full layout while not implemented, it's mostly thought out.
Most "done" areas still need some detailing, but things are progressing smoothly.

Great to hear. thanks for the update!

Hey @senyaiv. Thanks for the update. I'll give it a spit this week and come back with some feedback

[knifeworld]

Checking in to say I'm still going to finish working on my map! I'm just busy with other projects.

I did not receive news these last weeks from
@Pegleg, @King Know-Nothing, and @Worm318. 
Remember that a simple "Ok" or a like on this post will count as a check.

 

I'm still planning to contribute to the project. It's on my to do list.

 

Yes, I have a Doom mapping to do list, with planned projects and due dates.

Unfortunately, I will have to drop out of this project for personal life reasons, my apologies. However I do hope the most for this project and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Hey @King Know-Nothing, I Hope everything goes well. It's a shame we can have you on the WAD but IRL stuff is always more important. take care, and thanks for your support.

[DFF]

Still here aswell. Getting closer to a place where I can dedicate good time to the project

[Rabbid]

you ever get the feeling of hate when you lose all your stuff? yeah that happened to me with chrome... I use Chrome to access the site I used for the (Most likely) Placeholder midi, aka, if it wasn't done I could of lost it all...because I lost all my tabs

MAN! I hate when that kind of stuff happens

[Rabbid]

atleast it didn't screw with my map...been pretty...slow on it however... but I'm pretty sure I'll get it done!

Edited March 10, 2023 by Rabbid

[Rabbid]

something I didn't realize would be a challenge would be the fact we only have 6 secrets... meaning we need to make those 6 secrets GOOD secrets... so unless we use fake secrets... they need to be good...hmm, that actually gives me a good idea...

[Rabbid]

10:40 PM...someone hit a power line and my power went out... I lost the progress on my map a second time. why does life do this to me?

CHECK DAY #4 (MAR 12-2023)
 

Hey Guys. We are here at a new Chack day.
 

These two weeks were pretty chill, so, not big news for the project. 
But we have some cool screenshots and early demos for some maps.

So, for this one, I've decided to tag nobody. 
Why? because I believe in a well-deserved rest.

Plus, we are almost at the Midpoint Update!!!
So, the next checkpoint will define pretty much the full length of this project.

I want to thank all of you for the work done so far,
Really cool stuff and pretty interesting approaches to the concept.
AMAZING STUFF!

Of course, to anyone interested, we are still filling the spots, with 8 places to be claimed.

NOTE:The project will be compiled even if we do not complete the full megawad length, but if we reach that goal it will be sweet. 

Once again thanks to all of you, and I see you at... THE MIDPOINT!^TM

[Stabbey]

I've created the fourth room out of 7 and now I just need to finalize all the tags and triggers for it. And I should also get around to adding in the monster teleports for the second room. I also have a concept for the fifth room of 7. That's my check-in.

[Rabbid]

yeah I think the worst part is I lost my progress at a check day.

That's great news! Thanks for the update

[Rabbid]

I will try again... but if like... this happens anymore I might have to just drop out... next post I will add photos though, so it doesn't sound like i'm just lying to not do it.

Ok, @senyaiv. I give it a spin. Pretty good setup so far. Please bear in mind the restrictions for different difficulties settings. Cool fist draft. Thanks for your work

CHECK DAY #4 (MAR 12-2023)

Well, I did a lot of work in the last two weeks. I completed every secret, so if you like them, I can focus on the aesthetics (add lights, outside area, a starting point and the end switch) and enemies placement for HMP and UV. I already put some enemies but they are just placeholders, so they are not balanced yet and I may change everything for the final version.

The maze secret is similar to the previous version, but I made the hint to find the switch easier to spot (I hope lol). If you still don't like it, I thought about another idea that I can use.

Hey @Rabbid. No problem, man. Take your time, we have plenty of time ahead, and of course, I understand If you can't make it to the deadline.
This is not an exercise on discipline, but a community project. It supposes to be something you enjoy.
So, let me know if I can help you in any way with your map. I'll be glad to lend a hand.

I'll quote myself from the past:

[Rabbid]

Yea lol...anyway update and possible scrapped idea number 1, I decided I will build a few rooms, then connect them by a secret, but the secret is the same exact building, but slightly bigger with no rooms... while this is a cool idea, it might take a while as I'm only on secret 2.

[pooplord01]
