[COMMUNITY PROJECT] (MUSICIANS NEEDED) Amalgoom, Combining Doom 1 and 2

If you have not started yet, probably best to use this newest version I'ma put at the end of this post.

Made a number of changes... Some gameplay stuff from CutManMike's suggestions, such as adding some extra bars to avoid people spending ten minutes punching pinkies in a barrel. ...They can still waste all their bullets and shells if they truly wish.

 

Biggest gameplay change is adding some quality of life for backtracking secret hunters and for anyone who may end up falling from a certain timed segment. A couple shortcuts open up when completing certain fights to make the walk back go much smoother and quicker.

 

The other thing is I paid the inevitable price for putting too much detail... by SEVERELY cleaning up the auto-map. It is now far more readable by human eyes by no longer having ceiling cracks and rock formations absolutely everywhere. Too much time spent right-clicking linedefs... but it was necessary.

 

Still gonna hold off on the lower difficulties for now, but can quickly get some co-op only shortcuts and conveniences made. I assume we are not bothering with Deathmatch!

 

Anyways, here is the update:

 

AmalgoomMap24.zip

also btw Kitty, I have a few questions for Map32, so is the detailing gonna be like Map24, or you're gonna make it a bit simple?

It is going to be far simpler out of necessity. I simply do not have the time to go to that extent on detailing a second time! Will still try to have some fun with technical tricks, though.

say, question, will the rooms be more inter-connected, like similarly to go 2 it, where there was a billion hallways in the map making it easy to traverse rooms?

 

also will you include the secret bfg and backpack room?

[Johnny Cruelty]

@RileyXY1 hey you're the last mapper for Episode 1, how is the map doin'? when you're done, we're gonna make the shareware episode for Amalgoom

@DankMetal @SpaceCat_2001 @DoomGappy @Cutman Thoughts on this title screen thing I made for the shareware? I figure we commission an artist to draw a doomguy face, where half of it is his helmet, and the other half is doomguy's face with the doom 2 haircut and these words are in front

There will definitely be things done to open up the layout since the original MAP31 is simply too small to really get something like Go 2 It going. Interconnectedness is to be expected, yes.

I will use what I can of the originals... though for a map of this style, the BFG is going to be far more available than squirreled away in a secret. Go 2 It itself is very much more geared towards just blasting away with a glutton's worth of cells, so I will want to capture that feel.

maybe the secret "BFG Room" could be a joke secret where it has ltierally nothing valueable and is just a waste of time to those who think they could get that cool secret as if it's normal map31

It's nice for the shareware episode, maybe it could work as the M_DOOM too.

As for artists, i've been searching through Twitter (Oh sorry... X or whatever Muskrat says) and instagram, and although i follow a big variety of really talented guys, none of them are doing commissions, and the ones that have open commissions draw in a style that doesn't fit this project (they draw more cutesy stuff). I really hope i can find an artist i like with open commissions, that would be so godamn epic.

Damn, this is dope. But I think it should be two colored since the idea of the project is mixing two things together. Maybe crossa a line in the middle and use another color.

Yesn't

There's this one artist i love so fucking much, called L'ennui (he's on Twitter and instagram) but his art is a little... too funky to say the least

So while i was writting this i found another favorite of mine, this bolivian artist called Darodugo on instagram. She has this weird mix between 2000's Emo drawing and graffiti, really cool stuff, both of this artist have commissions open
