[RC1] Lineal Distancing - A Vanilla -cl2 Community Project

Cop RC1! (synlndst.zip, 937kb)

 

Lineal Distancing is a community project which I started in November 2023, and after periods of inactivity and testing, it's finally in a RC state!

 

THE GIMMICK:

For each 1024x1024 block from the origin, no more than 64 linedefs can be placed. This is the core rule of the project, which also counts control sectors but not teleport closets.

 

This means control sectors count towards the line count in each 1024x1024 block they affect. Teleport closets are somewhat exempt to this, as they usually take up enough lines to have a noticeable reduction in map complexity. They still apply to the block and line rule, but only in the block they're in, not the ones where the player usually is.

 

Mapping signatures do not count towards the limit for each block, as long as they aren't accessible to the player without noclip.

This was fun to blast through before an appointment in half an hour. Most were hits, some middling maps here and there and truth be told I find the gimmick kinda hard to wrap my head around, but there was some really fun stuff here. I think my favorites were the combat puzzle BFG map (I wanna say 02 or 03?) and the final 2 official maps. 07 in particular is great, probably my absolute favorite. Enforcing plasma was a cool choice, and the YK archie ambush is very mean but very fun as it encourages you to slowly move away as chaos ensues.

 

Pretty darn fun, folks! Thanks for the afternoon carnage.

4 levels in, and holy shit, your combat is perfect. Love the design and color palette too. Also good use of the faster weapons. 10/10 so far. plus 1 for Cacoward.

"Checkpoint" was a great midi! Pretty nice stuff in any case too!

Interesting little set, wish I could have mapped for it, but I didn't really get the idea of the project + I think I was busy with other projects. Nonetheless, an hour well spent. I really liked maps 07 & 08 especially, they played and looked pretty good despite the seemingly strict rules. Congrats on the release, yall who worked on this project did a nice job.

That's a very nice color palette!
