Offering playtesting

[Astro X]

Hello, doomers

 

I'm open to submissions and I'm going to play your map. Preferably submit your own creations that you feel need playtesting or that you'd really like to watch a playthrough of.

 

YouTube channel

Twitch channel

 

Here are some rules, though:

 

- limit of 20 submissions for the time being (not sure how many I'm going to receive, so I'm preventing an overload so that I don't feel overwhelmed);

- please inform which source port and complevel I should run your map (I mostly use DSDA-Doom);

- also inform the desired difficulty setting;

- you can ask for a blind or a practiced run;

- only one map per person for the time being, even if your wad has multiple levels;

- you can ask for popular maps from the community as well, but I may reject them if they're way too grindy;

- no terry wads or meme, effortless wads;

- when I'm done recording your map, I'll mark it as completed, so you can queue up another submission.

 

Happy doomin'

[The_MártonJános]

I'd be pleased.
[Upload deleted, separated .wad file is here]
Map: E4M7
Title: Forsaken Resort
Difficulty: UV
Run: Practiced, preferably 100%
Compatibility: should be Vanilla, although I never tested on that compatibility myself. If it complains about anything I may have overlooked, try PrBoom+, if that doesn't do the charm either, just use GZDoom with Vanilla settings.

Notes:
- I made this map over 12 years ago, and while other maps in the wad were tested and reviewed by other users, this one got, by large, overlooked.
- At least two of the secrets are rather cryptic, so if you decide to do a 100% secrets run, I definitely recommend checking the map out in Doom Builder first.
- The track playing in the map is the same as in valkiriforce's Eternally Yours MAP07 ("Attack Ship - Covert Assault" (Iceplug) [Perfect Dark])
- The (deprecated) zip's name had nothing to do with me asking you to play E4M7 specifically. :)

Everybody Loves The Sunshine

 

(I love that Roy Ayers song, so, yep, that's the name)

 

Title: Everybody Loves The Sunshine

Difficulty: UV

Compability: MBF21, theoretically it should be compatible with any port which supports MBF21 features [DSDA Doom, Woof, GZDoom, etc.]

Map: MAP01

Run: as you wish, but I prefer Blind Run

 

Note:

It's not my solo work, but a work for Paint-It Doom project

Edited May 9 by Vanilla+Unicorn

[Astro X]

@The_MártonJános and @Vanilla+Unicorn thanks for the submissions!

 

I'll certainly download and take a look at them when I get back from work. Expect gameplay soon :)

 

[Clippy]

If you're bored check out some crate expectations or don't it's all good 

 

Good luck these always become taxing once you let the floodgates open 

 

Edit : one map is it. We'll map 21 if you fancy. Any other metrics your choice. It's multi port compatible etc

 

 

 

Or don't it's all good 

 

I'm pretty tired myself 

 

 

Edited May 9 by Clippy

[DoctorNuriel]

If you want could you check out my Club FIREBLU? :) (blind/UV)

GZDoom in default compatibility should work!

 

 

 

Thank you!

Dreamscape_Map01_Demo.zip

 

This is a "demo" of the first map from a 11-map wad I'm currently working on (nicknamed Dreamscape). Looking to get some feedback on the aesthetics of the wad and the flow of the map itself.

 

Wad: Dreamscape

Map: MAP01 (Tired Valley)

Complevel: 2

Desired Difficulty: HMP or UV (Main difference being couple extra enemies & less ammo on UV)

Playthrough: Blind

Should work / tested on: GZDoom 4.10.0, dsda-Doom 0.26, Crispy Doom 6.0

[Astro X]

@Clippy @DoctorNuriel @DoomPlayer00 thank you all for your submissions!

 

I took the time to update my channel and organize playlists, so it's easier to find all the stuff you maybe looking for xd

[Laocoön]

The second map of this wad I'm working  on has not been tested very thoroughly, so if you have the time, I'd be grateful to see what you make of it.

 

GZDoom

UV

Map2

Blind

 

 

[The_MártonJános]

@Astro X I also noticed you do commentary gameplay.

I don't know if you plan on doing commentary on these playtests, but if you do, please make sure to listen to how my name (MártonJános) is pronounced on the Hungarian setting of Google Translate.

[xScavengerWolfx]

Some info / back story behind this:

 

This is a Megawad for ultimate doom (Doom 1) i started back in October of 2022, the link to the wad is the newer version of the map set. There are Three episodes and a E4M1. Now i am not expecting you to play all three episodes but i do want some feed back on one map in this set. That being E3M5 Mystery.

 

It would help me out a lot if i can get some feedback since i feel like not enough people are giving me feed back on it.

 

It dose run in DSDA-Doom, it's vanilla format, I did mess around with the status bar so it dose look like what it dose "You'll see it when playing it" plus E3 is meant to be hard but not brutally hard like E4 (which is currently in the works).

 

I hope you enjoy it and if it gets rejected at least i threw it out there for someone to play test it :)

[ALilGrayBoi]

Taking a spot because I don’t have my computer on me right now. I’ll edit this later to provide the download and details

[Plerb]

Hey @Astro X.  I have one map that I'd like you to test, but it's a bit of a private thing and I don't want to be posting public links of it.  I'll have sent you a private message hopefully by the time you read this.

[URROVA]

I want to submit my mod IMPSCAPE

Its a GZDoom mod with heavy changes to the gameplay, so you should read the manual first, as it explains a lot of its mechanics.

Run type: blind but read the manual first

@Astro X i forgot to mention that you should use hardware renderer, because portals and other GZDoom stuff

I got a WAD called Devilbuster Dreams. I've posted it around on DW but it's wildly out of date so I can send you the latest version I've built so far.

[EPICALLL]

I'm working on a sequel to my 11-map WAD I released last year, and I need some feedback on the third map, as I am very unsure as to what's not working, just can't put my finger on it. I'll send a google drive link, react to my post when you request access to the folder, so I know for sure it's you.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_RHToNkhZD74HXkRL6RmKIxPZlPMzJrm?usp=drive_link
I would prefer if you do it blind. It runs on GZDoom but without freelook or jumping. Test on ultra-violence, preferably. However, I must warn you, without proper routing you'll probably die in rapid succession. In other words, be careful.

Edit: this is usually redundant, but it's a doom 2 wad.

I watched your video and enjoyed it a lot (also gave feedback.)

Expect me to compile the download I promised in the following 3-5 business days. :)

[EDIT] requesting a new submission. E1M2 from the same file I uploaded, called "Neutron Reactor." This one was laid out in 2013 and finished in 2017, 4 years later (basically the last map I finished before I left the project to "rot.")

Same settings as for "Forsaken Resort" (difficulty, compatibility, run type, etc.) Soundtrack is "Watz Next?" from the Rise of the Triad OST.

Yea, thanks for the submission!

 

I realized you asked for a practiced run, but I figured I'd start blind and - if I died - I'd switch to a walkthrough instead, like "you go here first, then you do this and that" kind of narration. But turned out I never died. So, do you want me to start blind and then switch to practiced, or play knowing the map from the start, for the next time?

I don't think E1M2 is deadly enough to die to it even while blind running, so you could go the same route you did with E4M7 :)

My megawad fresh out of the microwave. I’d say “pick a map at random” which you can also do but I’ll go ahead and say MAP28 if you want to go with one
