Yeah there is straight lines with 10 verts :)

 

Yep, still WIP so a good bit of sector/linedef cleanup to be done. I have a bad habit of saving that for the end instead of cleaning as I go, but I'm learning.

A bit of vanilla mapping will sequester that habit quickly lol

@fai1025 Here's MAP 15.

 

Map Slot: Episode 3, MAP 15

Map Title: "Netherheaven"

Author: stochastic

MIDI: "Gate of the Ancients" by Brian Luzietti from Stonekeep

Download: Download (all my Doomium II maps)

Description: After fighting through countless miles of underground cave systems and mines, you find yourself deep in the marrow of the earth - to a realm never before visited by mankind. With your entrance tunnel caved in, you realize the only way out of this abyssal demon hive is through it. Will you ever return to the world above?

Note: Par time = 14 minutes. Another longish map, but I wanted a climactic end to episode 3 - some fat can be trimmed if need be, though.

I think I need to talk about this.
so as per routine, I need to leave the US this summer back to my home country for irl stuff, and I will not have access to my PC for at least 2 month from about mid Jun to late Jul, meaning that if we don't get this done with before mid of May, and I finish compiling, releasing and up on Idgame before end of May, this project will be on stall for 2 months or more since I cant do anything significant without my PC. 
so those who haven't submit their map, be fast, real this time. 
god speed pls

 

BIG NOTICE TO 

@dmh094 @Heretic926 @Hydrus @knifeworld @stochastic @Bochnik Chleba @PasokonDeacon

If you are mentioned here you have at least one map not submited, please just quit right now if you don't have mental for this or you just want to procrastinate.

You're getting burnt out, I'm getting burnt out too, the original deadline is end of Feb, look at what time it is now. 

[Pottus]

No need to stall it how about this; Compile what we have as a RC then I am sure a few of us can get the rest of the maps in and release more RC versions; once the summer is over we could have all the maps tested/updates then go for the release once you get back. No point of trying to rush things and it wouldn't be like people can't try it out I think it would be worth the extra time to ensure a properly polished project. Set the date for May 1'st that should gives lots of time for someone to take on a map and even finish it before you go. In the meantime we will just polish and playtest it all.

 

We should also set a deadline for unfinished maps to be at least submit unfinished to check progress on them or have others finish the maps. Unsubmitted maps at this point should just consider that person cut from the project then see who wants to take up the slot. Let the other guys who already put in big efforts and have time and interest look after things until you get back. I think this solution opens the door to completion and will let go of a lot of stress for yourself. Like I said we shouldn't rush.

If there is no further update soon, I'd be interested in MAP10.

I was going to polish off my map last week, but my mum had to go back to hospital for a third time.

Thankfully she's recovered fully now and I can think about other things like Doom again, for real this time.

It's not fair to you or other mappers for me to think I can do what I originally wanted to do with my maps finale, so I will just make what I have into an exit as soon as I can.

[stochastic]

Posted RC2 of Map15 here. This is my final submission pending any changes resulting from external playtesting.

I've been making good progress on finishing off the Map14 final room, despite IRL shit... I'll make sure to post it as soon as I can!

@fai1025 I coordinated with dmh094 to take their map 9 slot, so here's my submission.
 

Map Slot: Episode 2, MAP 9

Map Title: "Betonique"

Author: stochastic

MIDI: "Судно (Борис Рижий)" MIDI by Molchat Doma

Download: Download (all my Doomium II maps)

Description: You find yourself in a cistern full of abstract, brutalist architecture - and as usual, you're not alone. At least you have some upbeat music to get the blood and rockets pumping.

Dev Notes: Par Time = 7:00. Wanted to build a map with weird, blocky, abstract brutalist structures - I purposely went with less detail to fit the brutalist architectural style, and added plenty of water features to fit the episode's theme.

I've been chipping away at making the most of what I had for Map14's finale whenever I can, despite having zero (or close to it) time for Doom at all now.
I only have combat tweaks/monster balancing left to do for that room, visuals and progression are final!
I'll have it done and posted later today (it's 00:38 AM on the 12th for me), or if anything is still left, then absolutely no later than the 13th.

Final versions of all my maps. Original MAP32 was cut and replaced with:

 

Name: Burning Heart of Lust and Dread

Slot: MAP32 (E2SECRET)

Music: Kenso - Sacred Dream I [from the album, Kenso III]
Description: You better hope the archviles play nice, or you'll regret it.

Par Time: 3:30

Unfortunately, I won't be able to finish my map by the deadline.

I've been busy with work and college, and I haven't felt the drive to make maps.

I don't think I'll join any more community projects until I can manage to make maps in a shorter amount of time.

[Beubeu]

Working on a potential map10 

 

It’s gonna be really tight to respect the deadline but i can tried my best

 

Wish me luck

[knifeworld]

I got roughly 5 hours of sleep yesterday and had little energy to do anything hobby-wise again due to my 24/7 caring role.

My map is stupidly close to complete now though so I'm not giving up on it, I can promise it'll definitely be done by the 15th since I got a lot of RL tasks out of the way yesterday.


EDIT: besides difficulty changes for monsters, and minor tweaks, it's finally done!!!

Do someone has a good template ?

Lots of good examples if you just know where to look. Scythe MAP10, for instance.

Here’s my submission for map10 @fai1025

 

Map name : In the name of the indicible 

Music : "Urchin" by Brayden Hart (AD_79) 

Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Q8zjr1WJ8JKuGgZfPcmycWbYqCNGva6/view?usp=sharing

 

Comment : It was a challenge to make a map in a short amount of time but I did it and I am really happy about that ! I think there are some visual glitches but it will wait for the release to be fixed.

@fai1025 Here's MAP 12:
 

Map Slot: Episode 3, MAP 12

Map Title: "Chromatic Descent"

Author: stochastic

MIDI: "Mist" from Heretic by Kevin Schilder

Download: Download (alll my Doomium II maps)

Description: 3 vibrant, cavernous realms to traverse - Pick your poison (or water, or lava)...

Dev Notes: Par Time = 13:30. This map was original slated for the E3 secret level, hence some occasionally gimmicky gameplay... but I think it works in the episode proper. Not 100% happy with the combat in this one, but did the best I could considering the deadline and build time of 6 days. I need sleep.
