Finished Death Domain (Level 20) just now, so I tried to write something for the C3 intermission text.

You've bashed and battered the devil-hive,
and now it's time for a search-and-destroy
of the gatekeeper, whose hellspawn is
cascading into the earth. Yeah he's bad,
but you know whose worse?

 

Grinning evilly, you check your gear before
setting off to give that bastard a hell of
your own making!

List is updated, unfortunately Doomworld is broken so, hopefully it works later! I'll get MAP11 tested soon, and I'll mention the maps I'm waiting on when I update next.

[LadyMistDragon]

I think Ludi dropped out. 

[JacaCaca]

[Raspoza]

oh sorry, glanced over it lol

[JacaCaca]

Here's map 27, pretty taxing brain exercise trying to remember everything, even then I missed a few minor details. Feels pretty surreal going back and playing the original after making a not so precise replica, well that's the point I guess.

Original (top) Mine (bottom)

Updated the feedback again, I'm still waiting on MAP03, MAP12, and MAP13. I may wait to finish all of the midis, or I can release an RC1 with all the maps and update the release when all the midis are done. I'll also get out a more proper update sometime soon (hopefully!), and I really hope I can wrap everything up soon! I have a lot of free time now, so I'll try my best to dedicate some more time to this.

[ViolentBeetle]

It looks like we are very close, but the project has fallen asleep. Having a project I contributed to stall kinda irrationally bothers me.

[Engired]

I'm still waiting on some maps from, @SilverMiner @ThatWeNGuy and @noob_killer012345678. If I missed the upload or you have left the project please let me know! I'm ready to release without all the music, as I also very much want to just finish this project, and I have another project I want to get started eventually.

maybe loosen the requirements by allowing the option to recreate the original Prince MIDI from memory.

[xScavengerWolfx]

Just a quick question when was the deadline for this again? I'm not apart of the project just wondering since if needed be i and maybe beetle can help out. I am finishing up my third episode of my Ultimate doom wad.

 

I believe map03 is Aztec right? Been a long while since i played the megawad

The main issue is that we've already done that, and it is an interesting challenge to try to do the new midis. I'm fine with releasing a partial soundtrack, as there already needs to be a clean up project for the original Doom from memory.

The deadline is currently flexible, as in there's no current deadline. I'll tag you if a map slot opens.

Ok, i will keep that in mind

Setting a more definite deadline at least for map submission at worst might free up some forgotten map claims and open it up a little. If need be i could always take one more over since i love the concept and find i can crank one of these out in a couple days (since a lot of the work is already done design wise).

If I get updates on the map slots that are currently claimed I can probably set an actual deadline. It'll take a few days to do all the graphics, and the trailer, so hopefully that means early next month? It all depends on these last few maps.

[ThatWeNGuy]

oh right I almost forgot about this

 

not sure if I want to give up my slot yet

[Engired]

Now that it's 2024 I want to try wrapping this up soon, there are a lot of maps that are missing updates, but I can fix those myself. I'll try to get some more things together, I will release this before the music is all done because that's not going to happen any time soon. And besides, Doom 1 still hasn't been done. I also probably need to retest with DSDA but as long as the wad opens I can probably assume that it'll work with DSDA?

I'd be careful claiming this. There are plenty of softlocks that can occur in DSDA or Crispy that won't occur in GZ, such as floors failing to lower due to stuck monsters/decorations or being unable to press a switch through a scroll texture, to name a few. Since I was planning to play through this once it released anyway, I could give the maps a spin in DSDA, either playing through what we have now or waiting until all slots are filled.

I've been playtesting in woof, which should be vanilla accurate (more info in the spreadsheet). From my experience the main difference is that DSDA doesn't handle errors, but I haven't done anything different in compilation this time so it should work. I just haven't tried it yet.

[ViolentBeetle]

There are a few notable discrepancies between gzDoom and the more vanilla ports. The latter, for example, treat tag 0 as just another tag and moves the entire level, while gzDoom takes as it "apply effect to sector on the backside". There's also sector blockage from monsters being stuck in a wall that only exists in vanilla.

It's this time of the year again when I'm nagging about finishing the project. We are what, 4 maps short?

I'm currently waiting on @SilverMiner @ThatWeNGuy @noob_killer012345678 and @JacaCaca. I do need a response back in a few days, just to make sure you're all still working on the maps, or I have no choice but to open the slots. I really need to get work done on this too!!

[ThatWeNGuy]

meant to say this a month ago

I'll had to drop out, sorry

[DRON12261]

If slots get free, I can try to speedmap you one map right this week. The only thing I'm missing a bit is that the map has to be limit-removing or in vanilla limits?

MAP12 is now free, format is limit-removing.
