Daylight District | A 7-level vanilla episode!

[ZeMystic]

 

Daylight District is a Vanilla-Compatible episode for Doom 2 featuring remixed textures from Moonlit District. It was tested in Chocolate Doom and DSDA-Doom (complevel 2).

Mouselook, jumping, and crouching should be disabled if you're playing on a port with those features. If you are playing on Chocolate Doom, you can load the DeHacked normally,

or use the "-dehlump" command to load it directly from inside the WAD. A full map list and more can be found in the readme!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Bobby :D

Thanks for having me on to test and record demos! 

 

Don't miss this one y'all, this set has some of the best maps I've played this year. Absolutely rock-solid level design.

 

Shoutouts to Bobby!

[Andrea Rovenski]

Can't wait to play. 👍

[myolden]

We came, we saw, we squonkered.

[Biodegradable]

Oh fuck yeah, squonk me, Daddy!

[HiMyNameIsChair]

Yeeeeah~!!! new squonker project! Can't wait to play it!

[Mr. Alexander]

Looking forward to recording some FDAs of this over the coming week! Is it actually an official Squonker Team release, or is it a side project?

[NecrumWarrior]

Just finished the first two levels and having a blast! The first map is pretty chill but I was sweating a bit during Hustle Bones. Looking forward to playing the rest tomorrow.

[Terminus]

Aww yeah baby, it's squonkin' time.

Screenshots look great as always!

[DreadWanderer]

Screenshots are wonderful, have to add this to my list!

[Cammy]

Hell yeah! Great work, Squonkers!

[GreenAnime]

Tried to finish all in one sitting, so far Map04 is very fun I really love that map. Skipped the slaughter stuff, not my thing, still some of the maps are a blast. I hope you all continue making great wads in the future.

:O

 

heck yea bud!

Great work as usual, Squonkers. Works as a lovely green counterpart to Moonlit District. Highlights for me this time around were The Place Building Itself (major BTSX energy) and Hacker, and I'll say that Hydropump caught me off guard with its significantly hotter start (and a moderately evil secret fight) compared to the previous two maps. Everyone delivered handily.

 

Some minor bugs:
Map01: in the bottom left corner of the map, sector 394 with the single imp in it isn't tagged to pop-up like its sister sector 396, so the imp inside is unreachable.

Map03: looks like there's no proper sound propagation on this set of closets in the top left of the map, so they never wake up (the empty ones are multiplayer-only monsters)

Edit: forgot the obligatory ditzy playthrough demos, -dsdademo and play back on v.0.27.5 - daylightdistrict-maribo.zip

Oh dang, it's the reversed Moonlit District! Have to play it soon.

[DCG Retrowave]

I’m really looking forward to playing this and finally getting back into classic DOOM this year!  I’m glad that I was able to contribute to the soundtrack with my songs “A New Day” and “Restart.”  I’ll be giving the WAD a blind playthrough on my channel soon :D

[AD_79]

Fun maps, nice work. Hope to see more from you guys throughout this year.

[senpaigru]

What an awesome thing to wake up to :)

[Insaneprophet]

why does dropbox always want to make me create an account just to download stuff lately... so frustrating...

They're slowly taking pages out of the YT playbook, hopefully it won't degenerate.

Haha thanks. Yeah, "the place building itself" is pretty much tesco value "the room taking shape" lmao

When I see these mapper names I know I'm in for some quality -- and was not wrong! Another great production. Recommended for everyone.

[Noiser]

What a beautiful set! Congratulations on the release!

[EduardoAndFriends]

!!!! I know what I’ll be doing for a blind playthrough next! Perfect timing, dudes. Looks FAB as always! :D

[DreadWanderer]

Back with a few first impressions after finishing the first 2 maps. Very very positive, I love the pastel green and the challenging but fair combat. Feels nice to be able to sweat without aggravation. I can already see it being a beautiful companion to Tetanus and Moonlight District. I do want to flag a couple of things:

1. An imp is stuck in MAP01 and won't come out to play (the one in the triangular sector). Screenshot attached.

 

2. Something's gone wrong with the colored blood dehacked patch that I normally use, in the sense that blood splatter is not a nice gradient, but a single color. I've seen some similar problems in Eviternity, could it have something to do with how the palette changes the greens and the blues? Screen attached with caco bleeding (not a very good one, sorry, you might need to zoom in).

 

But....yeah, great job Squonkers. I'm having a great time so far.

Back with another update - I had trouble with some monster closets in MAP03, the monsters didn't spawn in. Screen attached. Btw the secret megasphere fight is...something. Definitely doable but I died so many times to my own rockets!

[Lizardcommando]

Not bad at all. I like the vibes with this mapset. The colors used throughout the mapset and that new sky texture look really nice.
