Do you like to get lost in Sandy’s City? Is Odyssey of Noises your favorite Plutonia map? Do you look outside the windows in Going Down and feel a deep sense of wonder? Then this is the project for you! Doom 2 In City Only is a community project where we make city maps. That’s right, a whole WAD of nothing but City maps. What more could a Doom Mapper want? If you enjoy open layouts, non-linear progression, optional areas, and even some good old fashioned doomcute, then sign up below and get to mapping! The deadline to claim a map slot is March 1st (and your map is due 3 weeks after you claim a slot), but slots are limited to 30 maps so if you want to make a map for this I recommend not waiting.

 

Claiming Map Slots & Deadlines

• Post in this thread to claim a map slot.
• You have three weeks from the time you claim your map slot to submit a playable map. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting your slot. I will give you 24 hours notice when your deadline is approaching.
• RC1 will be compiled when all maps are submitted or when the March 1st deadline has passed and all the claimed maps are submitted, whichever comes first.
• Secret map slots are reserved for event staff. Any available secret slots left at the completion of the project will be filled as required.
• Track the status of maps, claims, due dates, etc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wCvJU7SX1bVdXq6l-NqkS9K7cjvf912UmqHhb6v12jA/edit#gid=0

 

Map Rules

• Maps should be in MBF21 format.
• You must use the D2ICO_Resource (vanilla stuff is OK).
• Your map should visually resemble a city and should fit in with the theme assigned to its episode.
• Maps should have open & non-linear layouts.
• Must feature optional areas that are not tied to progression that give optional rewards.
• OPTIONAL: Good city maps often contain doomcute so this is encouraged but it may not gel with some styles, so it is not mandatory.
• Difficulties, co-op starts, and MIDI are all mandatory. If you don't provide these then I will for you.
• You must use the provided skies for each episode. These are named with the episode prefix (E1SKY 0, E2SKY 0, E3SKY 0, etc.) Animated skies don’t work when defined in UMAPINFO, so you will need to do a sky transfer in your map.
• The third map of each episode should contain a secret exit. Check the Map Slot list below to see if your map requires a secret exit.
• If your map does not meet the above criteria or is blatantly low effort it will be rejected from the project.

 

Episode Themes

Episodes will consist of five maps with each episode having it's own secret map for a total of 36 maps. The third map of each episode will contain a secret exit.

• Episode 1: Modern Human City. Your standard human city, full of skyscrapers and buildings along a latticework of streets and alleyways. 
• Episode 2: Futuristic Tech City. A city from the future. Lots of silver, tech, and computer details.
• Episode 3: Ancient Egypt City. Ancient stone buildings and sand as far as the eye can see. Don’t forget the pyramids!
• Episode 4: Underground Ruin City. Old ruins of cities long past buried beneath the earth.
• Episode 5: Hell City. Where the demons live. Red rock, green marble, rivers of blood and mounds of flesh.
• Episode 6: Void City. Mysterious cities in what seems to be an endless void. The city itself can be anything, but it must be floating in the void.
• Episode 7: Secret Maps. These slots are reserved.

Discord
This project will mostly be developed over at the Pineapple Under The Sea discord. It's not mandatory to join to contribute to the project, but it will make life a little easier for playtesting, feedback, project discussion, etc. Just ping me when you join the server and I'll give you the required role to view the project channels.

[OverflowingMocha]

Hell yeah, I'm interested! Haven't done a city map yet, so I'll be happy to make one.

 

I'll take an episode 1 slot! @myolden

The random number generator I used picked map 03 for you.

[dac]

Alright, breathe breathe out, let's do this.

 

I will take a map from episode 6 - MAP29 if I can choose my number.

[LVENdead]

I'll take an Episode 2 slot!

RNG determines you get map 08

[LateNightPerson]

I'd like to claim map06 please

[NecrumWarrior]

I'd like to tentatively claim MAP30 if that's okay. I have a partial idea but if I can't fill it in when I look over the resources I'll just switch to another slot.

[SiMpLeToNiUm]

I shall lay claim to an Ep. 4 slot, kindly.

Map 24 is yours for the taking.

[muumi]

[spineapple tea]

Could I get MAP09?

[CBM]

 I would like to make a map that resembles a human city

The random number generator grants you map 04.

[SleepyVelvet]

I'm not in a mapping mood, but as a city level enjoyer, I look way forward to this release.  Best of luck to all.

[Mr Masker]

Same as NoisyVelvet, I am very interested to see how this Community Project turns out. When done right, City levels can look very cool and be a joy to explore.

[DFF]

Sign me up for map05

[Track Federal]

Egyptian setting is always fun, i will take map 11

[Yumheart]

Would love to take a slot in the egypt episode! Are we shooting for any kind of difficulty curve?

[thiccyosh]

That looks like a fun project. Give me Map02 :)

Map 15 is yours. This isn't Sunder or anything so I don't expect the maps to be too crazy, but we'll adjust individual maps to form some kind of coherent difficulty curve when playtesting.

 

[HEXWALKER]

Aargh you got me. I'd like to tackle MAP26 if that's cool.

[mandude]

I'll take Map 27.

[myolden]

I put together a spreadsheet with all of the map claims with the due dates. Use this if for some reason you can't exactly remember the due date for each map (3 weeks from the claim date).

[Death Bear]

Map13, please!

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

@OverflowingMocha and @CBM, since we have map slots 3, Secret Map 31, and map slot 4, shall we be in contact and make some kind of nice transition between our three maps? We might include the last building of a map as the first building of the next map for instance. Or some other connection.

[Snaxalotl]

Map 22, Please!
