❄️200 Line Christmas: Snowy Slaughter❄️ [MBF21 Megawad] - RC1.1

[Arsinikk]

 

 

❄️ Merry Christmas to everyone from The SLOTTER Team! ❄️

 

200 Line Christmas: Snowy Slaughter is a community project targeting MBF21 (complevel 21). The project is inspired by Arsinikk and NinjaDelphox's Line Massacre Series and is the sequel to 100 Line Christmas. It uses the new Doom Christmas Enhanced resource pack with some new additions specific to the project.

 

As the 200 in the title suggests, each map was limited to 200 lines at most. Each mapper was asked to add some kind of friction in their maps (Either slippery ice or heavy snow). In addition, each map has a hidden runaway gnome for you to grab (replacing the item count)!

 

The megawad comes with 22 maps (19 normal + 3 secret) from Doomworld Community! All maps were designed with pistol start in mind, though continuous play is perfectly fine. Each map should take around 5-10 minutes to finish.

Merry Christmas! This was a great project to map for, with some of the best resources out there.

 

Have fun ya filthy animals!

[NecrumWarrior]

Merry Christmas! I wanted to contribute to this project but simply did not have the time. Maybe next time. I can't wait to play this. 

[Raith138]

Merry christmas! Super fun to map for this, I hope everyone enjoys it!

I made up a DSDACR lump that can be embedded in the WAD which will correct the light blue in the ex hud text to more accurately reflect the palette changes.  Feel free to try it out!

Here's an update to the WAD!

 

None of the maps have been changed, it's mostly an update to add a new story and fix some minor things like textures and adding @Bytefyre's DSDACR lump.

 

I will say that this update does alter the maplist slightly with MAP10 and MAP11 switched, and also MAP15 and MAP16 also switched. Usually I wouldn't alter the maplist post release, but I was kinda sleep-deprived while trying to get the megawad on time, so I didn't fully get to judge the map order.

RC1.1 changelog:

Spoiler

• Swapped MAP10 and MAP11 order (maplist in OP updated)
• Swapped MAP15 and MAP16 order (maplist in OP updated)
• Added PAR time to MAP07
• Added story text before MAP05, MAP12, and MAP15.
• Added DSDACR lump (thanks @Bytefyre)
• Fixed STONE1 textures... Mostly noticeable on MAP07

Enjoying myself so far! Hope this is useful, possibly...or at least fun to watch me die in your maps.

Thanks again to the team for the experience, and to those authors who could watch, even if not all encounters were completed, heh.

"MAP17: Sliding' n Spamming" by tonytheparrot is also unplayable on GZDOOM. Everything slows down very much due to the large number of enemies.

 

Otherwise, I'm happy with MEGAWAD, even though it was very difficult to pass. But compared to "100 Lines Christmas", the sequel is more playable!

Yeah I'd like to test it myself, but I'd assume with the amount of enemies GZDOOM may have some trouble. Does turning off dynamic lights help in any way? Because dynamic lights in GZDOOM tend to be very performance hungry.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It is far tougher than "100 Line Christmas". Can you elaborate on what you mean by "the sequel is more playable"?

I just checked it out. Turned off Shadows and Dynamic Lighting, including Lights and Brightmaps. No, everything is also slowing down. And it works fine on Doom Retro.

Because when I was playing "100 Line Christmas", it seemed to me... Strange... I praised the Good Design and the New Enemies. But in terms of Difficulty, it was chaotic that it could not immediately pass some Levels. There is more space in "200 Line Christmas", that the Difficulty has become normal and the Level Design has become better (Although MAP17 is what a tin! I'm even surprised that it hasn't replaced your MAP22).

 

But maybe I'm not a big fan of such Mini-Maps. Although I was going through the same "100 Line Massacre" and it came to me. Probably for this reason, I never touch on Speedmapping Maps.

Nice stuff! One of the most challenging Christmas WADs out there.

Starts out moderate and progressively descends into fun-first low inhibition puzzle/slaughter territory, something which I enjoyed a lot!
