Sever the Wicked (E4M3) Remake/Reimagining

[SuperKirbyYT]

Hey folks! I recently beat Thy Flesh Consumed for the first time ever and was completely in love with it! There are definitely some not so great levels but for the most part I enjoyed the Episode as a whole! E4M3 was a level that at first I wasn't majorly in love with so I set out to reimagine it but somehow by the end I had sort of made my own map only somewhat based on E4M3, on top of falling in love with the original level!

Use "The Ultimate Doom" IWAD, takes up map E4M3, Completely Vanilla Compatible.

Fixed a bug! Now it is truly vanilla compatible.

Cool map, gets the E4 hitscanner bite down, in a way that reminds me a bit more of M1 and M2, layout aside.

The BFG secret sector/linedefs are not tagged and will break the map in non-ZDoom ports.

The challenge of the map is fairly front-loaded, since a lot of it relies on early ammo shortage that completely disappears after you cross the pillars over the blood.

 

FDA (first demo attempt) with saves if you want, needs dsda-doom, made with dsda 0.27.5

Oh dayum I didn't realize I needed to tag them. Ofc the one section I don't test is broken lol. I'll fix it as soon as I can.

Of course I played the original version. It was not clear if anything lowered the exit bars since there seemed to be no switch in sight. I was able to access the presumably secret BFG though.

 

 

Good work though! Speaking as someone who's biggest gripe with the map was probably the shotgunners shooting us from five miles away, this accurately replicates that experience, not to mention feeling like an expansion of Shawn Green's approach to combat.

i never had any issue with og e4m3 especially since it felt like a relief after the ordeal that was going through e4m1 and e4m2
