Knee Deep in the Dictionary - DOOM 2 Community Project [2 Slots Open]

[Yop]

Hello all, have you wanted to start mapping yet struggle to find a premise? or perhaps have a really good idea but don't know what the theme would be alongside it?
Well I have the solution for you ^{I hope}! Welcome to...

Knee Deep in the Dictionary!

I have created a list of about 40 ^(English) Words for you to choose from for your map, you can interpret these words however you like. The Maps name isn't restricted however preferably it should include the chosen word in it. I know it's weird that a DOOM 2 project is named after a DOOM 1 episode, I'll admit that. 
You can pick whichever word for whichever map, words will be marked through when taken.
If you struggle on a word and how to interpret it feel free to use Dictionary.com
We'll be using MBF21 for this project and it has a maximum 33 participant slots.
The difficulty should be around Plutonia level

Rules:
1. Use the List you cannot choose your own words there's more than enough.
2. No limit on submission but do allow others a chance!
3. Custom Textures are allowed: 32in24-15 v2 will be the only set you can use.
4. Tools like Oblige and its variants are not allowed.
5. Custom Midis are allowed.

The Goal is: 33 Maps [30 Main, 3 Secret]
The Deadline is: SEPTEMBER 1ST 2024
The submission format is:
[MAP NAME AND NUM]
[SONG USED]
[MAPPER COMMENT (Optional)]
[CUSTOM TEXTURES]
[DOWNLOAD]

I'd like to take a slot. It's so hard to choose between all these words, but I think I'll go with... chlorophyll.

Any specific slot? if not i'll just pick a random mapslot

Edited April 11 by Yop

[Plerb]

I guess I'll go with MAP06 for now.

[Engired]

Could I choose dream for MAP16?

[senpaigru]

could i get the word sleep for map15? 

[MoiraHeart]

MAP26, word: Ivy.

[JackDBS]

MAP30: Eclipse

MAP33: Surreal

[Xaser]

Just a heads up, Boom is an outdated standard -- check out MBF21, it's basically "Boom 2" with some new features, it's supported in all the big modern ports, and it's backwards compatible with Boom so folks can still use all the features they're used to.

 

I'd also suggest removing the map number claiming entirely -- just have folks claim a word and make their map. Pre-assigning the map numbers isn't necessary for the project's concept, and it will lead to very chaotic difficulty and theme shifts unless folks go far out of their way to coordinate with their neighbors. Better to arrange the maps "in post" in whichever way they work best, and consider using UMAPINFO to wire up the secret exits in interesting locations (or even split it into multiple episodes, if you like) instead of sticking to the old format (though maybe that's a given since there's a 33 map target).

[Weird Sandwich]

Can I please take Abandoned, for any map slot.

[roadworx]

yeah, listen to xaser. he knows what he's talking about.

 

with that being said, i'd like to claim mesozoic :)

[stochastic]

I'll take Madness for any slot, please.

Edited April 11 by stochastic

[SirPootis]

I'll grab Depth, any slot.

[prfunky]

Eskimo

 

[DankMetal]

Twisted, map 24

[Andrea Rovenski]

Parody please 😀

[EagerBeaver]

I'd like to take "Surreal", please. 

[Raith138]

Cacophony is speaking to me for some reason.

I will take map 32.

 

[Razza]

lemme take 'Butcher', dunno what mapslot though, probably an earlier one

[97th Century Fox]

I'd like to claim alloy and mess, any slots are fine

[Hayden49]

I'll take Thermal, map27

[Hayden49]

What will be the skies or can we use our own (UMAPINFO for a custom sky for each map)?

[StorkGreen]

Would like to take MAP07 and "Inheritance"

Edited April 11 by StorkGreen

[Gianluco]

This would be the first community project I take part in, so I don't really know how it works, do I make a WAD with just the map and send it to you? 

 

Anyway, I'd like to take the word Labyrinth.

[Vilest Archie]

I would like to take "Frenzy" and any map slot is fine but i would like a early slot

[Yop]

As per Xaser's suggestion the map slot taking has been lifted and is more of a reservation if anything now.
Format is MBF21 as per Xaser's suggestion.

If you have claimed a word and any map position will be decided according based on how difficult your map is relative to the others with the defined map slots.
Difficulty wise i should've stated this in the main post but silly me i forgot.
We should be going for about Plutonia Experiment difficulty. I will update the main post accordingly. But difficulty is subjective so if we don't like the idea i'll remove it.
I am dreadfully sorry if that messes anyone's plans up!

[minimedals]

Can I get Napalm for slot 05?

Edited April 11 by minimedals
Changed because someone else wanted slot 4, and I had a cool idea for Napalm.

[97th Century Fox]

Think I'll claim the map04 slot for mess and the map28 slot for alloy. As Yop said those are subject to change but I'll make sure the difficulties reflect the slots.

[SCF]

I'd like "Abundance"

[Logamuffin]

I’ll take Delta, for MAP29, please.
