TWOGERS - 50 more maps of Twitch madness [RC1.3 - 06/03/24] (MBF21)

[deathz0r]

(logo by @Contmotore)

 

TWOGERS is a ragtag collection of 50 MBF21 maps brought to you (once again) by the Doom Twitch community! Featuring innovative 5-D technologies, TWOGERS propels the player into an euphoric sensation of thrills, kills, spills, TNT maps named "Mill" and whatever you can will. This WAD will open your eyes to sights unseen, your mind to spiritual journeys unimagined, and your sectors to probable softlocks - and that's okay, because everything is intentional.

 

Many mappers from POOGERS have returned to bring more general insanity, while several more mappers have joined to mould the TWOGERS experience into this fine WAD that we hope you will appreciate.

 

Some of you, at the very least.

 

TWOGERS has been designed primarily around DSDA-Doom/Woof and pistol starts, with jumping and freelook disabled. Software renderer required for MAP17 and MAP27, recommended for MAP13 and MAP36.

 

 

This has not been thoroughly tested in GZDoom, it is not even designed for CheesyDoom, don't ask for ProvoloneDoom compatibility because you're not getting it. Compatibility with other ports will be dependent on whether the changes break in DSDA-Doom. See below for further details regarding other MBF21 ports.

 

With the amazing futuristic technologies of the COMPLVL lump, you don't need to specify which complevel to use when loading TWOGERS in DSDA-Doom or Woof! Finally, the secret codes holding back gamers have been unlocked and you can jump straight in to the action. Difficulty settings have been included for a large majority of the maps - while some effort has been made to maintain a general difficulty curve across the WAD, it's never a bad idea to drop down a skill level if a map is too troublesome.

Two Poog or not to poog, that is the question.

A historic moment in the doom history when deat and his friends unleashed a MBF21 apocalypse upon people.

Is it compatible with OMGWPNS on Eternity (aside from MAP48)?

There's several new monsters, so it won't replace any of those - that said, I can't think of any reasons why it would break since I made sure to keep everything in OMGWPNS at the same width/height, or smaller.

Not even Provolone Doom??!!? But it has x100 anti-ailiasing! And it has 5d Geometry, VR, 3D TV support! Get with the times, POOGERS Team!

 

Really though, I look forward to playing this series, it looks funny.

TWOGERS IS REAAAAAAAAAAL

[bioshockfan90]

ah hell naw, they made frogger in DOOM?

 

I missed the first POOGERS and I usually play on, quote, "CheesyDoom", but I figured I'd dust off the 'ol DSDA .bat scripts for this. Did not regret it. Loving every moment of it so far, this is insane. Joke after joke after joke and they all land (at least for me). 7 maps in so far. Even if I don't beat this (not the most adept at Doom) some of these maps still made my day. I'll update once I beat a more significant portion of maps. Great LOL for the morning. :D

[Biodegradable]

Congratulations on the release, Team Twogers!

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

Twofers is back baby, bigger and even more of a technological marvel than the last one was! Congrats everybody, amazing work!

Finally, we did it!

 

Thanks to everyone for your hard work! I especially appreciate @deathz0r's dedication and perseverance in tackling the challenging task of putting everything together. And thanks to @Peccatum Mihzamiz for stepping up and offering help.

I accidentally got involved in Poogers. It was never supposed to actually be a real thing. Then I accidentally made the best map in the universe, Pog Mountain. My dad played it, and he cried at its undeniable beauty. It was so good, I got death threats for not making it shittier.
 

I once again, by accident, got involved with Twogers. But I kept the same philosophy from the first of the ‘gers, that nobody would ever actually ever play the map. So I just made a long narrow hallway. 
 

idk how I got in this mess but I’m just happy to be here
