Excellent as always. Gave this a go trying to play quick instead of cautious for fdas: dbp62-ryiron.zip

 

map01: Nice opener. I like the freak-out with the vile.

map02: Good step up in difficulty.

map03: The path to the yellow key felt like it should be a secret. I expected the key to be on the imp pillar instead.

map04: Not sure if I missed something obvious or skipped a trigger somewhere, but I honestly couldn't figure out how to progress. Sorry.

map05: Dumb death number one.

map06: Love the atmosphere in this map. Strange, spooky wasteland floating in the void. Really thought that vile was going down.

map07: Probably my favourite of the set. Great combat.

map08: Found the progression in this one fairly confusing. Got stuck wandering around a few times. I do like the graveyard vibes though. Another dumb death.

map09: Bit too yolo at the start. Did I miss some armor somewhere?

map10: Another insta-death. Second attempt I got hooked on some geometry and ate a cyber rocket. Fun combat though.

 

[DreadWanderer]

Awesome, really cool screenshots. Time to get my dose of DBP! 

[Hasamnas]

The switch/door to the plasma gun in map 04 seems to only activate in Boom, so it's impossible to progress in complevel 2.

[Pechudin]

Oh man that huge moon Skybox is great. I'd like to STEALSTEALSTEAL borrow it.

I was just gonna write how I have no idea how to progress in MAP04 on complevel 2, thanks for this.

Very cool I love a good spooky map for the Halloween season.

Great stuff guys, I'm on map 8 at the moment. The first few levels felt relatively easy but I'm starting to feel the pressure in the cramped set pieces. I see a lot of parallels between this and Mausoleum Nefarium, though I find the aesthetics here to be more pleasing.

Edit: small bug to report - a HOMish effect on MAP08. Location marked on automap.

Changes:

Spoiler

- MAP08: Uses an updated version of the map, fixes the HOM mentioned in this thread.

- Includes an optional HUD replacement (and widescreen variant) by an anonymous donor.

Very good stuff. Found a problem in map06, the platform with the red key dosen't lower making impossible to leave the area and progres with the map:

 

 

 

Source port: GZDoom 4.11 (complevel: doom-strict)

Thank you for the prompt patching. Completed it today and I gotta say 'Aurora' is really amazing. 'Green Fairy' is a bit of a weird last map with the tight slaughtery gameplay, I think 'Aurora' would have made a more compelling finale (perhaps with some difficulty adjustments between 9 and 10), but that's about it in terms of critique.

[mancubian_candidate]

Howdy all, just finished this today. Again, had a great time. Thanks for making as always :)

Thank you. The source of the problem seems to be GZDoom's compatibility option "Use Doom's floor motion behavior". I'm not sure why this happens; the map works perfectly fine in Boom or DSDA-Doom with -cl 2. I'll look into this later.

[hobomaster22]

I always enjoy these projects. Got a good nostalgia hit for MAP02 using the mossy brick texture and midi from Onslaught 3. As a bit of trivia the midi used for MAP02 is Cathode Ray Sunshine by Dark Tranquillity.

[Devalaous]

There isn't enough time in my life to play all of these. But I want to.

[natashanightmare]

I think i found a softlock in map 8 :) if i walk behind the elevator that lowers the yellow key and it goes up again i can't get out. Not sure if intentional :)

Is this in the v1.2 version or the v1.1/v1.0 version? I haven't double-checked yet but this should be fixed in the new version, the older versions had an older version of the map.

Started out pretty good, but unfortunately the later levels  devolved into slaughter maps.

That's generally how DBPs flow. If that's a problem for you, then I advise playing something else.

[fuGue_tv]

I think in MAP3 next to the blue key, I was getting stuck on a chandelier on the ceiling. Otherwise it played great.

This is a great wad I am enjoying the playthrough and creative map designs. 
The aesthetics and view of the environments is really good.

Can confirm the problem is related to the latest gzdoom official version (4.11). I moved back to a dev-build version for 4.11 and the maps works just fine with doom-strict compatibility. 

[brightentayle]

Completed the whole thing today (and caught up to nearly every DBP to ever be released). Among other things, noticed MAP04 has a bridge locking up (for no legitimate reason) after you get the last key.

 

That, and MAP07, at least when I tried to run it through RetroArch (so lr-prboom, the shitty port) had one missing texture and one missing flat at the same spot. Funnily enough, even though it has UMAPINFO support, I saw a text screen with "THE END" before said level popped up.
