CHECK DAY #6 (APR 09-2023)

Hello guys.
Here we are at a new check day.
 

Hitting the midpoint at the last one, this was a really busy couple of weeks.

I've received updates from almost everyone on the project, with plenty of demos, and updated versions of their maps.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.
 

From my end, I used these two weeks to test all the Wads you sent. Really cool stuff, I can't be any happier.
 

The only mapper I had not received any news from is @Angry Saint.

It seems they have been absent from the forum for some time now, and I have no other way to contact them.
So, if anyone knows a way to contact them please let me know.
Since there are still some slots left I'll keep that spot claimed, but I'll drop it if needed.

 

Now. About newcomers, I want to give a warm welcome to @purple_ruberoid and @RileyXY1. 
Can't wait to see what you prepare for the project.

 

This means we are now with only 4 spots left, so if you want to join remember we are open to new claims till MAY 07.

So, now we are back at the simple format of checking. A simple ok or like to this point will do.

Here I go with the tags:
@Bri0che, @Angry Saint, @knifeworld, @Rabbid, @scientifikgenius, @Soulinus, @Stabbey, @Pegleg, @DFF, @Jakub Majewski, @Azafran, @pooplord01, @Niloquì@Worm318 , @Fadri, @CblBOPOTKA, @purple_ruberoid, @RileyXY1,@senyaiv and @roadworx
 

@HUNdebLeonidasX I count you as checked cause I had no time to playtest the last version of your map, Sorry about that.

Thank you so much once again, and remember to let me know if you need any help!

[Fadri]

I don't have a finishable level yet that can be tested, but I made some new things.

Still up ! I corrected the problems you mentioned before, and so the work for my map continue. I have another personal project alongside and had a lot of inspirations for it lately, but be sure I don't forget my map at all ! It will be finished in time for sure.

Amazing! thanks for the update! @Bri0che

Only 1 secret so far, so it's just a draft

 

Spoiler

 

[DFF]

Concept defined (including secret schema), MIDI selected, and starting room construction started. Tentative name: "Planetary ziggurat". I'll add images hopefully next check in once there's something to really show.

 

@RED77 I saw in the rules custom skies are allowed, can I add like, 2 or 3 custom skies for my map? I could make do with 1 but more would be preferable for the theme.

Totally intrigued by the title. Thanks for the update @DFF 

Plus, yes, you can add the sky textures, be sure to add them to the final file

I've decided that I want to create a level that involves a mansion and it surroundings. So far, I don't have much to show though.

 

 

In the meantime, I've been experimenting with large size textures. Turns out that the software renderer supports textures as large as 4096x4096, as can be seen here:

Unfortunately, however, the editor doesn't like such big images.

Very intrigued about the mansion. Sounds like a fun concept. 
About custom textures, we are working on a 3 limit for each mapper, so the visual aspect is more coherent thru all the maps.
I presume those ones are just for testing, but please keep it a little bit more on the current texture pack style. 
thank you so much for the update @Jakub Majewski

CHECK DAY #6 (APR 09-2023)

I had other things to do in the last two weeks, so I have nothing new to show. Maybe for the next check day I will be able to do something.

[Rabbid]

after dealing with my brat cat. I modeled a guitar...what does this have to do with that map? nothing besides the beginning... yay I've barely started...

Well, at least that looks cool. lol

[Rabbid]

yea XD

[Stabbey]

...To be honest, I'm not sure I'm going to have a finished map. I didn't have a lot of inspiration for the theme to begin with, I haven't really felt creative for this map in a month, nor have I been playing Doom much at all. So at the moment, it's a big question mark whether this map will get done.

[exl]

Tried my hand at a map over the weekend, will probably finish it sometime this week. So sign me up for one of the remaining slots!

Hey @Stabbey, I understad. Sometimes I feel the same way. If I can help in any way, just let me know.

Amazing! Map 22 for @exl!

[exl]

Completing the map went faster than expected. Here's a first version. I'll do some more gameplay tweaking and visual polishing later. And maybe try turning the diorama "puzzle" around to have it make more sense.

 

🔸 Map Name: Witt's End

🔸 Author: Exl

🔸 Music: "Influxuation" by Mark Klem

🔸 Ports Tested: GZDoom 4.10.0 / DSDA-Doom 0.24.1

🔸 Difficulty Settings: YES

🔹 Description: A base. An escape. A plan?

Good Question... I wish I could add that but uh... yeah that would take a very long time to code and plus... this is a vanilla mod XD, if you are asking to play? probably not soon but idk yet.

Hey @exl. That's a pretty solid map.
Nice visuals, nice music, and interesting secrets.
I only have three notes:
 

Spoiler

1)
There's this bleeding texture by the red door:

3)The final secret felt like I was pressing random boxes till I find which one activates the exit. Maybe giving it another twist?
 

2)This map is on the easy side. I don't mind at all, but this means It will be changed to an early spot on the final WAD, is that ok with you?

Thank you so much for your work!
lt me know if you have any questions
