I will ask anyway :p Have you been inspired by those half-life zombies or not?They  kinda reminds me them

No, not at all, i've just have in mind to make a deformed zombieman from hell influence, nothing else.

Wait. Arachnotrons are spiders (sort-of) and the former human is well... a human... So did you just make a hellish version of spiderman? O_o

I don't think putting spiderman and the devil togheter in one sentence can be a good idea

So, you want to add hundreds of tiny, gameplay-irrelevant sectors, huh?  One word: shadows.

More of my Doom 64 EX city-themed map. There's some 3D tricks going on in every screenshot, as it's quite easy to implement in the engine.

Love screenshots with meticulous shadow work.

@Lutz When will this be finished?

I need this in a frame, on a wall in my house. Great texturing and those shadows...wow.

At the current rate of production, maybe 2025.

 

Honestly, I'll probably end up asking for help.  The project (tentatively "The Outer Worlds") is planned not unlike Scythe -- a batch of 3 or 4 similarly-themed levels, then a radical jump to another batch -- so it would work nicely if a few additional developers want to pick a theme and run with it for a few maps.  I was hoping to get a little further along before I created a project thread, though.

[Not Jabba]

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was going to be a larger mapset. Nice!

Which format are you mapping in?

I can only upload like 500kb's of stuff so heres a 70% complete map layout:

I finally figured out the secret to speedmapping. I aim to have this done in two days or so.

Made some new sprites for the hell of it...feel free to use if you want!

Nice. But, what is the secret? (seriously)

Just turn around the crate and you have a perfect low-cost replica of the Kaaba from Mecca.

That was my first impression, too.  "From out of the Hellmouth loomed a terrifying visage, and it was called Cubix, the demon of Unattainable Storage and Defiler of Warehouse Mazes..."

Getting somewhat close to the ending—the map layout is mostly finalized barring a few monster closets, so all I have left to do is more detailing and agonizing over texture usage (I haaate working with new texture sets due to this). This is one of the rare few maps where I've done almost the entire layout first and then gone around updating each room's visuals and then gameplay, which is the exact opposite of how I usually map (ie gameplay -> visuals -> next room). The process has been interesting because for the most part I've been really down on the entire map until it's slowly started coming together at the end; usually I work room by room because it makes me motivated to finish the map once I've got some really cool gameplay bits and visuals going, whereas here it still feels like a rough draft I have to hand in to a publisher in like a week. Not feeling all that confident right now, but I've done this long enough to know the feeling will pass.

 

Here's some additional pics of the actual level. You can see I have to work on the facades of the larger buildings.

While we're talking mayhem 19, might as well drop those here:

[dobu gabu maru]

Really nice use of that orange pastel flat, as well as keeping your texture choices concise. I've gone with that hard orange goopy flat so a lot of the more ornate stuff doesn't blend well, pushing me to focus on hard browns and gray/black rocky textures. There's quite a bit of versatility in the Mayhem set, but it's really focused on a lot of realism and elaborate architecture, which is pretty antithetical to modern doom mapping nowadays. Feels like a set the russian community would adore circa 2010.

Yeah, I think there are some textures in it that I'll pinch for later use in another map or two, because I've taken a liking to some of them. At the same time I found it very hard to work out what sort of "theme" would work for me.

When I started the map, I was trying to go into the brown "flesh" textures, and those really ended up looking slightly bland to me, because they didn't make for nice contrasts in the end. So I left the first building I made behind, and started another one (screenie 1 and 2 above), where I finally had a theme coming together that I ended up enjoying a lot more. Also I just now noticed screenie 1 and 2 are outdated WIP shots, but whatever :P

May19. Began this like yesterday so early beta.

cool vanilla doom pics

[cannonball]

Some nice shots, Mayhem19 looks like being another fine effort.

@Lutz The only issue I have with your shots is the environments look more like somewhere I like to go on holiday, rather than fighting demons. Fantastic stuff...

 

I am currently redoing a made for Switcheroom 2 to feel more worthwhile to the project aims as my previous effort felt more like a re-texturing. It is pretty much finished apart from some final monster placement and implementation of difficulty levels.

Really enjoyed deathmatching with HDRambo & Shrimpy (Triaxis) at DWANGO5

GG.

Going well with the remake because fuck the old map, it is one of that moments when you see your past work and imagine "how could i find this nice?" and then proceeds to notice that the flow progression of your map is entirely messy, anways:

I thought something was a bit off and now know its not meant to look like this at all and trying any wad/iwad has the same weird colour palette thing which im yet to fix. 

But man still looks awesome in hurt!

Check the saturation settings in display options of GZdoom. Its supposed to be a 1.0 by default. But by looking at your screenshots, it might be accidentally set to -1.0 or something. Alternately, if it is already set to 1.0, try setting it to -1.0 and see if it helps.

[Khorus]

@ketmar's k8VaVoom port has some fantastic lighting and shadows, really like what they do to some of the areas in my Strife project. Looking forward to more lighting options and tools for level designers.
