Here's a shot of a WIP map that's been sitting around for a little while. I haven't been able to do enough Doom-stuff recently (got caught off guard by other things, sorry!), so might as well show something, I guess? Should be easy to guess what project it is (or was) intended for.

Today marks my 35th birthday. When I get home from work I'm going to release one of the maps I've been sitting on to mark the occasion.

This just spotted on CNN.com: Only an actual trainwreck is missing.

So a team member in a coursework I'm doing and I spent a few hours trying to troubleshoot why a build script wasn't working for her. Turns out that due to Windows 10's automatic user-naming using spaces caused the build script to fail. Windows 8 was fine though, since it had some weird hash. Fuck Windows 10.

I love how Shadow of The Beast is your cover picture.

Surprised that I'm actually signing up here... ah well, either way, glad to be apart of the community.

Neat! GZDoomBuilder via TeamViewer from tablet is almost workable! Most map commands can be done with either mouse button. The only missing facility (which can be a blocker for any serious mapping) is scrolling (on PC I use either the scroll wheel or the arrow keys, which are hard to access from tablet TeamViewer). But if that gets introduced, we'll be able to use the tablets to edit with the GZDoom Builder from our home computers!

I've (finally) spend some time exploring the new Edge Portals in Eternity. They are basically an existing type of plane portal but unlike normal portals this plane does not need to match its surroundings. The exposed 'edge' is given a new linedef flag for a seamless transition. Hello tables, chairs and stairs :) Especially fun if combined with 2-way anchored portals. Unlike linked portals, anchored portals can be moved so you can create stuff like floating 3D platforms that bob up and down. You can even travel from underneath this platform back to the main area; but alas I have yet to find a way to travel from the main area back to the portal.

Happy Birthday Joe 🎂
