I need playtesting and feedback for my WAD...

[wumbo]

I've been cooking up this WAD for a while, and I've been working on it on and off over the last 6 months. I would really like to know if anyone is willing to give it a download and playtest, as it is still ripe and in development. It's called The Pumpkin Trials. A series of 7 complete maps so far, each using mostly vanilla textures, aside from a few adjustments to add a little spice. I would really love to see feedback and a demo or video of a playthrough in its entirety, but I hate begging for downloads. If you're interested, there will be a link below with a few screenshots.

The WAD consists of levels with no real theme aside from desert canyon areas and black deserts. Besides that, the levels are pretty difficult for casuals, however I have been quite generous with powerups and the like. There are also slaughtery bits here and there, but the WAD mostly consists of large open areas where you have to avoid many projectiles. Also, MAP08 and MAP09 are unfinished, but still in the WAD partly. I hate to post about the same thing twice, however knowing that someone has played my entire WAD would really make my day.

 

THE RECOMMENDED PORT IS GZDOOM, HOWEVER FREELOOK IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

YAY THANK YOU

It didn't specify a port, so I went with DSDA.

 

In the closet at the start, with the pain elemental and the Hell Knight, the pinky and spectre seem to be stuck

 

Couldn't use the updated plasma, got this error and a crash:

Played a bit of MAP01 and so far, the visuals are kind of... interesting. I'll get back with gameplay of the first three levels later today.

My texture skills are godawful, but I've been told that I have a good sense of actual gameplay. Guess you'll be the judge of that.

Interesting Visuals. In some maps they are really good at the start and then slowly degrade just a tad. 

Map 02 is unbeatable as you cannot find the red keycard. Also i got soft locked after going down the really long hallway. 

Map 03 was cool, baron room made me switch to map 04 after i was pushed off into a horde of HKs and Shotgunners

Map 04 was goofy lol. I beat it in about 4 minutes on accident as the secret back to the start let me finish the level

Map 05 broke my will to play.

Okay, MAP02 was my fault because I made the red key only accessible on UV because I'm stupid.

 

I don't know where the shotgunners are in MAP03 but that's fine.

 

MAP04's early exit is intentional for people who wanna finish early.

 

And MAP05 needs some work. 

 

It's a shame you quitted before MAP06 and 07 because they're my favorite, but I understand. Thank you for the feedback, man. I really appreciate it, and I'll tweak MAP05 to make it more playable. :)
