It´s actually GZDoom with a bunch of dynamic lights and shadowmaps activated!

I wondered if you'd done some trickery in GZDoom. Awesome work.

Grass 'Em / Grass Out (MAP01) rework.  This one hits a bit nice compared to what it replaces.

This reminds me of that one area in map08 of Nimrod where you insert 2 of the ship batteries in the battery chargers and that warp fuel power turbine starts to rotate, I even make somthing like this too

I've been working on a complete remake of E1M6 for End Quest, a Heretic Episode I've been developing. With the original level making an appearance in Cacowad's Blasphemous Experiments I decided this was a good opportunity to try my own spin on the concept for this level to make it fit the style of EQ a little closer. The layout is mostly complete now at 600 sectors but I expect to double or triple that once I do a texture, detail, and shading pass. Hopefully by then I will have some screenshots that are a little more juicy.

Here's a better vid of my upcoming map 'The Harrowing of Men'. Thought I'd break out the big guns fore this - my A51 seems to run it a bit better...

 

 

[IRod54]

More new stuff from me 

[Mr. LBN]

First attempt at some kinda Tech Base/Outpost.

What's up with the text on the screen?  This preview makes a brotha' think for some reason.  How big are the fights gonna be?

Ah, the text is ACS debug messages. They will be removed before release, don't worry.

 

There's a bunch of logic to make the doors work - they are actually 3D shapes with movable control sectors. There is also a bunch of logic to block and unblock the fence lines as you get higher and/or go up steps, and I added the debug print/logs to help me.

 

I'm hoping the key/switch logic is not too obscure, there is a bit of backtracking - I'll wait for feedback about that...

 

My original plan was to do a simple design slaughtermap arena type thing. That didn't work... I ended up with a lot of map detailing and buggering about with 3D floors. I'm hoping the battles will be challenging - but I'm probably not the best player out there, so it'll probably be relatively easy for the better players out there.

 

I started on the bottom level with a bunch of spawn points and trigger lines - and that is probably gonna  be the hardest bit - I still had the slaughtermap thing in my head when I did that.

 

To be honest though, I haven't really started on monster placement for levels 2, 3 and 4. Watch this space...

You guys have such great looking maps. How do you even go about making such great-looking outdoor areas...

 

My measly "third wad ever or at least in my adult life" is shaping as follows:

 

Spoiler

 

 

I intended to try out vanilla mapping for NaNoWadMo, but I already took a little headstart, and also settled on Boom-compatibility. I kept switching between Vanilla (I quite like Crispy Doom) and Boom, which is more flexible, and UDMF with all sorts of QoL-features, but would also be more cramped and possibly slow to make. So, I settled on Boom to have the added flexibility without sacrificing port-compatibility. I figured I wouldn't need UDMF/GZDoom-features all that much. So far I haven't had problems with texture alignment (which was the main point of UDMF for me). Scripting would be nice and thing tags, and "Actor enters sector"-sort of things, but all in all, have missed UDMF far less than I anticipated.

 

I also had another restraint at first, that the map should fit into 1500x1500 grid. Ditched that, too, but the first portion of the map has been designed with that in mind. The newer portions have been me trying to learn the ropes of crafting a bit more modern style of map. I've been trying to catch on with modern PWADs, and as a result, some of the areas have been while playing and looking at the early levels of Valiant, which I've enjoyed so far. (I also snatched the music from Valiant's MAP02 for this one. I seem to really dig StewBoy's tracks).

 

This'll probably never be released, unless it fits into some CP, or if turns out really good, or if I happen to make a few more decent Boom-maps. But first we're gonna see if I even manage to finish this one. Hopes are high, as I think this is already past the early draft stage, when a map can be discarded without blinking an eye.

A blue tongue-in-cheek WAD with one-word map names and a wide difficulty range.

Here's a project that I've been working on lately

ABANDONED OUTPOST

It's one of very few projects that uses Freedoom assets as base.
I encourage you to try it out :)

Working on Fall of Triton II

Well, it's pretty much done, but here's an extensive tour of 'Breaking Walls' as part of the DCP literalism.

nearly finished map13 for The Magenta Spire, this one is deep underground themed

Finishing up a new mapset...

Making architecture and detailing lightning fast now! Super happy with how this is shaping up so far:

 

[ElFrostyzoid]

Maaaaahn you guys are so talented! Love looking at those screenshots!

On my end I'm working on a huge hub for levels with perhaps character classes, maybe doomguy I don't know. I'm still deciding. For the time being I'm just making these for myself until I get permission to use some of these assets, perhaps I'll have to change some, I'm kinda new at the site ^^;.

OTEX is my go to for a majority of the stuff, some other textures and sprites are Hexen or Heretic stuff I edited myself, while the rest are assets from several other places plus the paintings 'cus I really like how they look even if they are kinda on the heavy side.

Anyways here are the screenshots:
