[idgames] Metal Dragon :: 5 Map Episode, Limit-Removing -complevel 2

[Andrea Rovenski]

METAL DRAGON is a 5 map episode for doom2.wad using primarily metallic and industrial textures sourced from otex with some relatively difficult, but not extremely intense gameplay. The music is also my first complete soundtrack for a wad so far, so I hope you like it. I made this set as a quick derust and also wanted to get something out on my birthday :)

 

Let me know if anything catastrophically horrible occurs, if not, this should be finalish.

 

This wad uses UMAPINFO, tested with dsda-doom in software mode. Build time is 7 days total.

!! This wad is limit-removing, which means intercepts overflow and others should be disabled !!

 

Load in dsda-doom, like this:

Some unique gameplay, but feels like they all are linked: UVmax for all 5:

Nice! Look forward to playing, and Happy Birthday!

Just finished it and it was a lot of fun! Very high energy maps, not really any down time to speak of, generous secrets and overall just a blast! I really liked the midis as well. All good shit. Congrats! Also thanks for leaving in some glides ;)

Very cool, and happy birthday! Good to see a friendly face on map 2. Looking forward to the rest of it and perhaps claiming a title. Also, here's an OGG copy of the soundtrack recorded from the SC-55 mk1 via Nuked. I love a good menacing intermission track and this did not disappoint!

Happy birthday! 😄

thank you for the input everybody! I posted an rc2 update, this should be the final-final version.

cool wad. emphasis is on a gameplay and a few speedrunning tricks. only got "lost" a little bit on the final level

Did it. A proud new Metal Dragon Warrior Champion has emerged. My overall impression was that I really enjoyed it. It's a place with jagged, abrupt violence and insistent earworms. The dim hallways and oppressive atmosphere remind me a bit of The Citadel, maybe. It was also a bit unusual playing with the intent of recording a demo, a type of added pressure that has never really been part of my Doom experience. Wanting to show off or feeling overconfident from carrying over guns and ammo (and foolishly having down arrow bound to end demo) scrapped more than a couple promising runs. Something for me to reflect on for sure!

very nicely done!! A few scary moments on 3, 4 and 5, too! You should consider recording more demos in the future :)

 

Also, updated the OP to include /idgames link and the demo post in the honorifics section
