OBZEN - now on idgames! [32 Plutonia Maps] [Limit Removing]

[myolden]

 

OBZEN is now on idgames here: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/obzen
 

A couple of minor fixes to the idgames version:

 

Spoiler

- The widescreen HUD is now split into a separate WAD file so as to not break in sourceports that don't support it
- Added block monsters flag to teleport linedefs in the final fight of map 18
- Added some extra ammo to map 25

 

 

RC2 Notes:

Spoiler

- Fixed a misaligned switch texture in map 27

- Changed switch mistakenly set to activate once in map 27
- Fixed a typo on the ENDOOM screen

- Moved keys in map 31 to prevent players from picking them up through the wall

- Added BOSSBACK screen

 

 

OBZEN is a set of 32 limit removing CL4 maps for the Plutonia IWAD. These are short maps with low monster counts (100 or less, unless playing co-op) with a heavy emphasis on high difficulty, evil traps, and hard fights. In addition each map generally sticks to the texture usage of its corresponding Plutonia map, alongside some architectural and layout references for those familiar with IWAD. Difficulty settings and co-op are fully implemented. This set was playtested in Crispy Doom and DSDA Doom.

[Death Bear]

LET'S GO!!!

@Firedust I told you to quote me on that.

[BluePineapple72]

Wow! A new wad in a state of perfection! Immersed in filth!

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

Congratulations dude! Glad to see another wad of you released upon the world! Even one that hurts as much as dis!

[Egg Boy]

Finally, a new Myolden wad, been wondering when you were gonna drop another one! Hopefully it was worth the wait! 

[OpenRift]

Yaaaay more Final Doom stuff :D

[OverflowingMocha]

Oh boy you bet your ass I'm also playing this alongside Nostalgia 2, congrats on the release!

[Ludi]

Y'all have no idea what you're in for, I couldn't beat level 1!

[Firedust]

oh my it's only been like, what, a week

 

what the fucking fuck, pardon my french

 

Obzen is a great album by the way, certified classic.

 

Can't wait to play this!

 

 

[ProfBloom]

Booted this up and immediately got cooked by the first level, I think I'm in for a treat!

[HiMyNameIsChair]

I have no fathomable idea how Myolden is so fast, but boy am I ready for this to hurt in all the right ways, I'm excited~!

Edited October 11, 2023 by HiMyNameIsChair

[TJG1289]

Another megawad? Already? How are you so fast? And this one is hard? Sounds cool!

[roadworx]

...didn't you just release a megawad last month? what the hell?

 

are you a part of king gizzard by any chance?

Edited October 11, 2023 by roadworx

[Cutman 999]

Like mtpain said, you make mapmaking look effortless. HOW?!

I develop stuff concurrently, so it's bound to be the case that some projects wrap up around the same time. 

[Lila Feuer]

Are you fucking kidding me another Plutonia project?

 

Thank you.

[Andrea Rovenski]

Looks wonderful!

[taviow]

Do not start playing 15 megawads at once challenge: impossible (at least in 2023, just how much stuff is coming out?? holy fuck).

 

Congratulations on this release, I WILL ADD IT TO MY LIST!!!!!! I need to finish your other megawad first. Or maybe I'll just start this one right now!

[LVENdead]

You're a freaking maniac my dude

[RichardDS90]

I swear to god you are some sort of machine! I look forward to trying this out among your other recently released projects!

[Lingyan203]

Just downloaded this but the status bar seems very off. Is there a way to get the status bar that isn't in widescreen format?

How do you mean off? Can you post a screenshot and what port you're using? If this is due to a bug I'd love to know so I can try to fix it.
 

The standard status bar should be in the wad, just delete the STBAR lump and rename the STBARS lump to STBAR and you should be good to go.

[Lingyan203]

@myolden this is what I mean by off.

Edited October 11, 2023 by Lingyan203

[myolden]

Hmmm that is strange. @Ludi any idea what might be happening here?

[Man of Doom]

Where corruption, war, and pain is god.

 

I absolutely cannot wait to play this when I get the chance.

[jmac]

Died at least 10 times finishing the first map on UV, but I already love it.

[alopecia_assassin]

Congrat on the release, and thanks for all the content! 

[SleepyVelvet]

Reminds me of Swift Death and the like: short, punchy, compact, and with low monster counts; will take many attempts per map to beat each one.  I like it.
