Joshy

I think it's best if I don't give an answer as to where the name came from, because doing so will quell everyone's imagination! However for what it's worth, I do not have any Croatian heritage.

I have a bunch that I like so it's hard to pick the definitive top 5. For the moment, in no particular order: Bjork- Homogenic Radiohead- In Rainbows Weyes Blood- Titanic Rising Beach House- Teen Dream Aphex Twin- Drukqs

Basically, for Map33, it didn't quite fit in the Map24 slot among other maps in terms of theme and flow. Tatsurd-cacocaco does have two other maps in the normal slots however. As for Map34, I needed to make room for a map I initially made for the Map31/32 slot; I decided to move the secret map to map27 because it wasn't quite 'grand' or 'go2itty' enough for the secret slots, and bumped out the original map27 to map34 because I did feel it wasn't as good as the secret map considering its old-schoolish looks, and tough, longish, complex layout.

We figured we should give you all a taster as a reward for waiting patiently for PL3's release and what better time to do it than on April's Fools! Here's two maps! The first one is by @tatsurd-cacocaco, and the second is a collab by @Joshy and @darkreaver. The maps are in the Map 21 and 22 slot in the teaser wad, but will occupy the Map33 and 34 slot in the main PL3 wad. They are not necessarily the final versions of the map (e.g. changes may be made to the map and/or music for the full PL3 release). There are difficulty settings for Map21 but not Map22. I've included the texture pack from PRCP2- requires Plutonia.wad and a Boom compatible source port like PRBoom+. The music for the maps are: Map21- "They Are Here" by @Deadwing (The track was composed for PL3 specifically but may be used for another map in the full release; Cammy is planning to make a track specifically for the map which will be included in the full release) Map22- "Last Supply" by @LPad (LPad composed the track specifically for this map).

This looks great! I'll have to... give it a shot. ... Sorry, that joke needed to be made. Congrats on the release though!

Thank you for pointing out these; it is however not a concern thankfully- one of them is in fact intentional ;) Agreed, it's a very cool secret!

Just a bump to say the Idgames link for PRCP2 is now up: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/prcp2

Remember Alf? He's back, in poogers form!

I second this answer, it's a straightforward distinction I believe. Community projects are open to anyone to participate, whereas other projects that aren't open are not community projects, even with multiple mappers. This is basically the difference between PRCP1/2 and Plutonia 2/3.

The project is very close to completion, with 29/32 maps completed. Map 30 and 31 are being worked on, and one map, although playable, needs detailing. I'd estimate that, realistically, the project may be ready in a couple of months. I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask skilled musicians for help. We're planning for a 100% original soundtrack. We have a handful of tracks completed but there's still more to go and will need help to get there. If you'd like to help out, let me know! EDIT: We've got a good number of musicians helping out now, I won't be accepting any more for the moment, thanks!

Glad you liked it! I'll definitely add more radsuits, that has been a common criticism so clearly there isn't quite enough. Cannonball actually made the map for PRCP2! He was just worried it was too big for a non secret map (among other big maps that was already in) and I agreed and suggested that it would actually work well as a secret map, considering its more unique designs and fun challenging gameplay.

The first release, pending upcoming bugs and stuff that may need to be fixed. But it does have everything! (well, the story appears on prboom but not on gzdoom it seems, that'll be fixed for the next release version). Edit: My map31 damaging floors are completely screwed up, totally my fault. Been played numerous times and for some reason it was not spotted, so that'll be fixed for the next release >.<
