[/idgames] The Delirium Dimension :: 13-map 'Halloween' Horror Themed Set :: Limit-removing -complevel 2

[Andrea Rovenski]

The Delirium Dimension is a 13-map experience draped in minimalist classical horror atmosphere complete with an excellent soundtrack assorted from vintage horror bangers. It's moderately challenging and has some more out-of-the-box encounters than an average set, but nothing the wonderful warriors of today shan't be able to handle.

This was fun and challenging, really liked how the later stages sort of have you return to previous areas. The difficulty is fair, and gradually gets more challenging from one level to the next, which is great. I found the secret dog with the Castlevania jewel case. The layouts are well done, never felt cramped nor did the layouts get confusing. The use of the Halloween style colors is nice, though I do wish the monsters had been colored different to fit this new theme as well. Couldn't tell if the "end" was meant to have an exit or if I was supposed to exit out myself.

It's hard to say no to a challenge. I'll definitely play the rest soon.

 It's moderately challenging

Nobody laugh but its quite difficult for me😂
I got past level 1 but level 2 I'm low on ammo and no where to run.
Maybe playing with a mouse and better keyboard setup would help...

I like the orange, melting font, music  . Exciting theme for Halloween !

Question though. Can I jump? I assume that's what "limit removing" means here right?

You can if you want, but it's not designed for it at all 😛. Limit-removing means it would crash vanilla on dos (or at least I assume, I never tried it). Nothing to do with jumping

Halloween wad by Andrea, now this certainly is going to hit the sweet spot, and I can play it in dsda and not gzdoom, yay!

I'm very excited to record demos for this. Map for map, this might be my favorite set you've made so far. Very good shit. :)

And I did. Wonderful orange combat puzzles that get a lot more elaborate and experimental in the second half, I particularly love Map08's BFG fight and Map09 as a whole, chunky orange caves are something that I didn't know I was missing.

 

On Map07 there's a couple of imps stuck together inside of one of the pillars that lowers when you're going up the stairs, it's Sector 131 when viewing in UDB. Of course, knowing you, this could be an intentional gag. :P

Full casual playthough on UV, -dsdademos, v0.26.2 for playback - tddrc1_maribo.zip

Im on map 6 so far. I realize Theres no way to kill all the monsters with just ammo for this wad. I rarely am put in situations like this where I have to figure out alternate ways to fight the demons and its really cool because it creates new situations.
Im loving this map!

 

[Andrea Rovenski]

Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful feedback (and demos!!). I've updated to rc3 (what about rc2?? Don't worry about that) and it should be finalized, so feel free to record demos and if anything breaks, it's probably on purpose (I hope). file date should be 10/04 10:01AM

If you play the hidden secret rc2 on halloween night it will open a portal to hell in your room irl when you beat the last map.

On a serious note i have added this to my to play list :)

I played the first 6 levels today. I'm pretty fascinated by its unorthodox and creative gameplay, combined with TN-style visuals. Because of the scarcity of resources every map feels like a boss fight, but they are short enough to not let the punchiness get frustrating. They're like little Plutonian etudes. I was a bit skeptical of the idea of excluding hitscanners (well, except the archies, whatever) but the limited monster roster actually works rather well in these kinds of intense and brief set pieces. Charming simplicity, unforgiving combat (on UV at least). Also makes good practice for a "make every shot count" philosophy.

[kvothesixstring]

I found the true creator of the delirium dimension, but he's no monster. I did it in nomo just to prove it. :)

tricky wad. enjoyed it. required a fair amount of scum saving/rewinding. maps are short so torture is bearable. didn't encounter any issues
