666CRETS 1.0 (a C.P. about Secrets)

[RED77]

 

666CRETS is a collection of maps for DOOM II with a simple gimmick:
You need to find 6 secrets to gain access to the map's exit.

 

For its cryptic nature, this wad is ideal for players that love
puzzle and heavy exploring kind of maps.

 

Being a collective endeavor, each mapper brings their particular flavor to the project,

so don't be afraid to play every map for a very diverse experience.

 

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

I'm happy for the release! As I played through the whole thing last week, I can say that this PWAD is a gem. Go play it.

 

Also, I managed get into the premiere on time:

Good grief, literally less than 1 day away from release and I just can't wait XDD Seriously though, just wanted to mention that this has been my number 1 most anticipated project for a few months now (and I never even looked into the development thread beyond the first post, gotta avoid those spoilers lol). So here's an early congratulations and I will be here downloading this as soon as it's out!

Just a few hours, can't wait for this one. Bonus point for the boxart thing, don't see that too often.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE PATIENCE.

Download available now.

 

all feedback is welcome

May I ask: Did I softlock myself? So far I've liked this mapset, this map however is quite tough.

Hey, thanks for playing. From what I can see on the screenshot you are not soft lock

Spoiler

you can get access to the top of the platform by  entering the teleporter on the sole teleporter inside the building

 

hope that helps

The most fun I've ever had actually putting secrets into a map! It's something I usually hate doing, but mapping and doing a bit of playtesting for this showed me it's something that can work.

There's some proper bangers in here so everyone should play it immediately :P

thanks for the waiting. the first public version is available now. hope you like it

[purple_ruberoid]

It was my first community project experience and it was fun to be a part of it!

As one of playtesters I can say the maps are very different. Quite challenging and even really puzzly at times! Enjoy!

 

Hope you'll all enjoy my map as well :)

Thanks for the comment. although there'll be corrections of bugs or details, this build has all the content already. So it's almost like a full release.

CONGRATS @Niloquì. The first one beyond the rabbit hole.

[Devalaous]

I hope that on Doom Launcher, once all maps are recorded on it, that it does indeed have 666 Secrets.

Hey @Devalaous. each map has 6 secrets. (at least tagged ones lol). so, far from 666.

I'm late here, but glad this has been released and to have my first map in a community wad! :P

Played first map), I usually play on UV, but here I decided to choose the Challenge difficulty, since in this wad the battles are not initially the main thing. I liked the first map, secrets are quite interesting. Very interesting wad concept in general.

My bad. :D I like this wad. But hmm, I'm having more difficulties with it.

Spoiler

(above) MAP13: There is this little space, where I can't get out.

 

MAP07: I don't understand this pillar switch puzzle. I've raised those small pillars in main yard to get a clue, but it seems too cryptic for me. I've tried every possible combination, but door won't open.
