[Deathmatch Megawad] FRONGO : The Realms of Deathmatch (Boom)

[MannerKing]

 

Welcome one and all to this here Deathmatch megawad!

 

FRONGO : The Realms of Deathmatch is a 32-map Deathmatch megawad created through the collaborative effort of two best friends, MannerKing and Burktross. This wad was started in 2020 and was worked on off-and-on since then. We got the idea to create FRONGO when we and another friend of ours were playing the DWANGO wads for the first time. We thought those wads were such a blast that we should make our own megawad inspired by the DWANGO wads. The name FRONGO comes from the name of our clan combined with the -ngo part of DWANGO.

 

32 Maps of Deathmatch goodness await you and your friends, I hope you all enjoy this wad!

 

==============================

DETAILS:

 

! I WILL EVENTUALLY UPLOAD FRONGO TO IDGAMES AND OTHER SITES BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WAD IS IN ITS FINAL FORM BEFORE I DO SO. !

 

FRONGO was created in the Boom: Doom2(Doom format) using Ultimate Doom Builder.

 

There are 32 maps in total starting with MAP01 and ending with MAP32. All the maps with the exception of MAP31 are original levels. MAP31 is an edited version of DWANGO5.wad's bestdml1 #14 map. If I recall, all we really did was add some health pickups and shotguns.

 

Custom content such as music and textures have been credited to the best of our ability in the credits.txt file. I managed to credit most of the music but there are some songs that we just simply forgot the names of. If anyone can remember a song that I did not credit then be sure to tell me so I can add it to the credits.txt file.

 

In terms of specific settings or rules, I tested FRONGO with Odamex, ZDaemon, and Zandronum with no issue. The only thing I would say is that jumping and crouching should not be allowed as the maps were not made with those features in mind.

Burktross and I have found some issues with FRONGO and we have fixed them. After we playtest FRONGO we'll go ahead and release FRONGO v2.1 with some update notes on what changed.

 

See you all then!

FRONGO (Version 2.2) Has been released! We updated some things and I also started uploading to the idgames archive. FRONGO is currently on the incoming list and I'm just waiting for the verification email and then hopefully it gets approved.

FRONGO (Version 2.2) IS NOW ON IDGAMES AND DOOMSHACK, WHOOOOOOOOOO! Oddly enough though, when I went to upload frongo.zip to doom.dogsoft.net there was already a file called frongo.zip uploaded with the downloads disabled on it. Now maybe this is just a coincidence, but frongo.zip was uploaded to dogsoft on 01-27-24 21:39:05.

 

Heres the thing though. Unless I'm having an old-person moment right now, I have NO recollection of uploading my megawad to dogsoft. Maybe this is just a coincidence and there's another wad out there that's also called frongo. I'll never know though since downloads are disabled on the file.
