VibesPlane Overflow: A Chill LetsPlay Channel for Doom

[BeetBeardTheBrave]

 

Hello adventurers of the Doomverse!  Me and my pal @Klaesick have started a chill letsplay channel for laid back and adventure focused doom wads in the spirit of channels like GameGrumps, OneyPlays, etc. 

 

The goal here is to just be a chill place to hang and enjoy some laid back doom after a long day, when your fingers are too tired to operate a mouse and ''wasd"' and give the same vibe as a warm summer night with pizza and friends and an N64 in 1999. 

 

First playthrough is a single level, but we have several series planned. :) Enjoy! 

[Klaesick]

I'm very glad to have gotten the chance to do this with ya @BeetBeardTheBrave! Much thanks for making me the co-host!
Hope you wonderful people in the world like this (I hope my poor mic quality isn't the worst hinderance)!

[BeetBeardTheBrave]

The pleasure is mine, my dude!  Many adventures to come.

If it's up our alley, we'll give it a look!

Definitely check this channel out, but that name, VPO, that name sends shivers down my spine every I do a map. I've had two constant VPO's in my most recent map, even though the map isn't that detailed.

I'd be interested to see what ya come up with! If you decided to go through with it, ofcourse, no forcing here!
Maybe something inspired by Medieval Japan, because I haven't seen that theme much if it all in Doom (I've been playing Ghost of Tsushima again recently as well lol).

Legends say that the only way to remove this curse is to create maps that can only be played in... LIMIT-REMOVING SOURCE PORTS! MWUAHAHA!!!
(Jk there's probably some strategy I don't know about to not get Visplane-Overflow)

Great idea! Can you recommend a resource pack? 
 

I can’t promise anything but I will keep this idea in mind when doodling in the editor…

I can create a color palette. But resources I don’t know. I found some Minecraft texture packs though lol.

OTEX and Makkon are fantastic.

 

OTEX is easy to find, but here's a link to a download for a DOOM-compatible Makkon in .pk3 (it was easier to find the direct download link in my browser history than trying to find the thread it came from, so sorry I can't credit the author!):

 

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AZFNL7bzGAQ7wHQ0CM233xaJnfWLiK9z

 

If you insist, I made a .pk3 for the Minecraft LB Photorealistic pack a while ago.  Never wanted to distribute it because I wasn't sure of the permissions (even though I believe it is CC) and because OTEX and Makkon are far superior, but here's a link:

If ya want, I threw together a motley assortment of sprites and a lil' Dehacked if you want a foundation to build off (If you choose to do this for us).
VERY rough and needs cleaning up, but I thought this could be cool.

Lovely! I’m not able to map for about two weeks. So no need to rush it… 😅

Fair enough lol. We'll probably be slightly more established as "The Game Grumps of Doom" (hopefully) by the time you decide to do this.

I’m a very slow mapper. And your taste for exploration rules out the short-and-punchy kind of maps. Either way, there will be a medieval japanese map at some point this year. Gonna watch your streams to develop the feel…  😏

Splendid! We don’t mind shorter maps though (BTSX ‘s middle is good example of maps taking too long)!
We’re actually starting a recording of the first few levels of Epic 2 tonight, so be on the lookout for your “research” ;).

Short and punchy is good too!  We are planning on playing some punchier stuff very soon.  Stay tuned. ;)

Our newest video (At the moment)! This time we tackle the first 7 levels of E1M1 Multiverse!

Here’s another video from the channel! This time it’s a Tetanus solo with only Beetbeard.

[Klaesick]

Hey everyone! This time, Beetbeard and I tackle the 2s Electric Boogaloo, specially from people who have "E" in their name.
I have some hottakes in some of the videos to.
Hope you all enjoy!

Hi, I'm back at the PC and had a look on your file. It has some nice monsters and stuff. I also googled around a bit but could not find a nice texture pack easily. @innerethos posted about Makkon, yet a .pk3 file seems only about ZDoom ports (not my port of choice) and Quake actually. Long story short, assembling a small resource pack is not something I'm particular familiar with. Seems that a bit more research is needed...

Thanks for liking it! I wanted to reference actual Japanese Monsters/Yokai and Weaponry.
I'd probably change somethings up if I made it less-slap-a-dashy (Such as the Imps have red instead of green blood and giving them yellow eyes, giving the Pinky a less awkward walk style, changing the Barons up to make them different from the Imps, giving the Revenant a much better sprite, making the BFG grey/green over red, the Hud being brown and white, making the staff a spear, changing the Rocket Launcher projectiles)

In terms of texturing, here's some things I found.

The skybox here is from this thread. It's very Mountainous/Japanese looking.

There's also a thread for Makkon. It says it can convert to Vanilla if you need. If you have Slade you just take the textures out of the pk3 file and put them in a wad file.

If you need, you could probably use OTEX or stuff from Shadow Warrior or even the DoomerBoards Projects. Hope this helps!

I also found a better crossbow sprite from Dox778's BrutalCrossbow.

I've created a GitLab project. You can place the resource files there: https://gitlab.com/classic-doom/medieval-japan-resourcepack

I suggest keeping monster, texture and map WADs separated.

Cool cool! This topic could a be thread of it's own at this point.

[Klaesick]

Another episode for ya'll! More Epic 2! This one's a bit more philosophical then our other ones, but hopefully still chill.

Sorry, I'm pretty full on channels to watch, but I wish you good luck with this project!

[Klaesick]

Finishing off Scythe 2 (For now, anyway...)! A bit longer then our usual episodes, we get a bit philosophical and the like, but I hope it's still a good time!

[Klaesick]

Bringin' you all two new episodes! This on is a little different, we aren't doing a Doom! Don't worrying, we're not quitting it, these other games will be our "B-Plot" if you will.
Anyways, enjoy this slick Mario World ROM, and good ol' Super Metroid (Along with Samus saying funny things)!
