9 days

[DoomGappy]

So, I've been playtesting all maps and reaching out to mappers with videos of my playthroughs. Johnny has also playtested a lot of the maps. I will ask the following mappers that if they make any alterations to anything in their maps, it be in the "3 - Playtested folder", and that they report what they changed. I've moved the current versions of the maps to that folder.

Playtested maps:

Maps 01 and 02 - @Johnny Cruelty

Map 07 - @Kasgen

Map 09 - @Rorix

Map16 - @GermanPeter

Map17 - @Max-ko-khan

Map20 - @Cutman

Map30 - @Walter confetti

 

I'll try to playtest map 20 ASAP. If your maps are finished, please upload them to the google drive, in the "2 - Completed" folder. Here is the link for the project's google drive folder again.

Edit: Playtested map20, amazing. @EagerBeaver, yours is next, I'll send it to you via DMs when I'm finished.

Let's see if we can make that deadline. Would be a good gift to have an alpha.

I think you could extend it to the end of the month, but you should really message everyone who hasn't submitted much (or anything) yet. Maybe some people forgot, or they finished their map and didn't get around to uploading it. You gotta keep the pressure up though and not let it fizzle out like with the Song Only project.

Completed maps already submitted and playtested (11). If your name is here, you probably got a video of me playing your map pointing out things like texture choice or alignment in your DMs. Report if needed.

Map01 - @Johnny Cruelty

Map04 - @EagerBeaver

Map06 - @SpaceCat_2001

Completed maps not yet playtested (1). If you map is here, it will be playtested soon. 

 

Map03 - @Johnny Cruelty and @SpaceCat_2001

 

Completed maps not submitted to drive folder yet (1). If your name is here and you can't access google drive for some reason, send the map in my DMs and I'll upload it there.

 

Map13 - @DankMetal

 

Unfinished maps or maps with status pending (19). If your name is here, please report the status of your map quoting this post. I'll add three categories next to the level according to the response I get, "Starts mapping soon", "In progress" and "Finishing touches". 

 

Map05 - @RileyXY1 - In progress

Map08 - @DankMetal and @Cutman

Map11 - @DoomGappy and @The Royal We - Finishing touches
Map12 - @Track Federal - In progress (60%)

Map14 - @HEXWALKER - Starts mapping soon
Map15 - @EagerBeaver

Map18 - @DankMetal
Map19 - @Kasgen

Map21 - @mr-around
Map22 - @Logamuffin

Map27 - @mr-around
Map28 - @SpaceCat_2001
Map29 - @HEXWALKER
Map31 - @glue_sniffer
Map32 - @JustAthel

 

I do need you to quote me, because even though I'm trying to help Johnny organize this, my memory sucks, so I'll need a reminder of what we're talking about. Please quote only your mapslot and name, because it will clog the thread too much otherwise. Reporting on my and @The Royal We's map status, it is in the final stages of touching up details, balancing weapons and enemies and general fixing of stuff. I'll be updating this post as things change.

Slightly behind, a Demoparty snuck up on me so I was quickly banging something out for that. (hoping to win!) Will hopefully have something to show soon, hopefully should be able to get back to work after the prizegiving tonight. There is currently nothing for MAP29, and the basic layout for MAP14 is almost done. Most of my time is going to be spent with texture alignment and balancing, I am very particular about these aspects.

@DoomGappy 

As I said, I'm currently prioritizing finishing maps for other community projects (Rusty Drill and Vanity, to be precise), so I won't be working on MAP25 until I'm done at least with these two projects. I'll try to get everything done ASAP, though, so don't worry.

Heyyy! What is a Demoparty? I hope you win, a prize is always good to have!

Ok, I've updated your status in the list, as well as all the others, so we can better understand the progress of the project. They are "Starts mapping soon", "In progress" and "Finishing touches".

It's still about a month away, so I wouldn't worry too much. I would however remind people about the project (though RileyXY1 did that just now).
We'll cross that bridge once we get to it. If there's only a week remaining and there's still 5-10 maps missing, then you can extend the deadline.

But doing it now might just make some stragglers go "Oh, I was gonna start working on it soon, guess I can wait a bit longer."

Map24 - @PinkKittyRose

Definitely in the trenches of in-progress on my end. I have another batch of screenshots coming after spending the next... awhile on texture alignments.

Finally going to be able to move onto gameplay proper today which should take a lot less time than actually designing the map.

I feel like your map is gonna be the "Mucus Flow" of this wad

hey off topic, anyway I can contact the tc hacking group that made zombies doom tc back in 1995, I wanna make a sequel but in the readme, it says "do NOT use zombies to make new levels" and I wanna contact them to ask if they had a change of heart but I can't find any dang info on them

I definitely went overboard on the looks of the thing, but hopefully it does not end up as huge as that one! Hoping for a ~20-30ish minutes clear time rather than anything stretching into the hour mark.

 

It is physically large, but a lot of it is simply decorated open space thanks to The Chasm's influence. Speaking of... I have effectively been fussing over the last big Chasm room for the better part of multiple days now, but with it done... detailing is basically complete and I can move onto like, monsters n stuff.
 

WIP screenshots this time are basically all just the same big room:

Spoiler

That's the date I wanted to aim for, it would be amazing. I don't know if it's possible, but we should have at least a "shareware version" until then. We gotta ask the guys who are working on maps 03, 05, 06, 08 and 10 to report their status. 01, 02, 04, 07 and 09 are finished.
