this is Very good

Thank you for this Arlene I can only give it a 9/10 though i didn't see any first album references? i'm a fake fan tho, i may have missed them also longhair gerard best gerard

💖 Yeah you used to just throw your stuff on /idgames right away. Making a new thread felt almost pompous, as if the whole world needed to know you made this or that thing. I think the community is too large for /newstuff now. As noted, back then the backlog was almost comically long, despite how hard people worked on those. I almost signed up to do some writeups but i was terrified i'd procrastinate and not get it done in time. But of course now I wish I had. I wish the Downloads/Files/new Idgames frontend, whatever you call it, was working. I think it's really cool, it displays files and reviews neatly, etc. That said, as has been pointed out in the past, Doomworld's /idgames frontend is just a frontend. Have there been other ones made? afaik anyone can make a frontend that could support reviews or any kind of feature. Side note: I get the appeal of just dropping your new level into a doomworld post but I have never found it to be a good idea. Attachment space is for demos!!

Gave this wad a try on a whim and holy crap the maps are fun. Parts i'd normally cheat through i decided to power through with save games and it definitely was worth it. And the art is adorable! Great work to all involved and happy birthday meowgi!

Very good post. I've seen people absolutely seethe about the existence of infinitely tall monsters and such, but you've written out very well why I disagree.

Also would like to join the queue as a backup. edit: i would like to relinquish this spot to others in the queue. best of luck to all mappers!

it's ok nights, i got you

Probably don't need spoiler but just in case. You should definitely give wormwood5 a try!

From Smash Bros, where competitive players turn off all the items and play on the most boring stages to remove RNG and see who is the most skilled

I am down for challenges in video games, but I have to really love the game/level first. I play without saves on maps I really want to feel and connect with more. If I am told a map is intended to play without saves, I will 100% honor that. But there's always the chance I'll lose a bunch of progress and move on to something else. And that's fine! It's a high risk/reward proposition, and it won't hit for everyone, that's just the nature of it. Only thing I'd have to point out though is that in this saveless case, 'blind' experience is very hard to throw in there as well. In the aforementioned scenario, where I die and take a break from the WAD, I am not going to put effort into avoiding spoilers. With experiences that are meant to be enjoyed over a long period of time, it's a simple reality that you are probably going to see parts of it secondhand somewhere on the internet. to answer OP question: I think in the future fewer people will try to "final destination, no items, fox only" their way out of RNG in the game. Trying to turn Doom into Guitar Hero is exhausting and i think it burns people out. worm\V/wood is a huge embrace of that and I want to see more

Everyone did a fantastic job and I had a wonderful time! You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least give these a try.

It was a pleasure working with you all these past 16 minutes.

incredible! great map great midi Here are a few Skill 2 demos and a Skill 1 (idk why it would break in Skill 1 but i can confirm it works) My successful skill 2 didn't finish because I didn't read and I went looking for the other secret at the end! Congrats on this release! Absolutely crazy for a "first" map

A week or so ago I remembered a co-op map that made me feel as you say in the OP I found it, it's MAP20 of Invasion UAC. Though it's actually meant to be FFVIII salt flats, not winter, I still think it fits. it's a ZDoom wad, it works fine in current GZDoom. One of a small handful of cases where I prefer software lighting (edit: oops I didn't have the latest GZDoom, it looks even better now) Short video to see if it's something you'd want

Dead in MAP01 died at 2:18 42/42 kills at time of death (went to 44 after death) nmlite-sod-duckreconmajor.zip Seeing others' comments I had a feeling this would be rough, and it was! As usual I started off panicking and kept it up to the very end. Would have made it to the end of the map but in a stroke of brilliance I forgot to grab the red key lol

Maps completed: 3 Death at: 14:43 MAP04 kills: 25/34 Saw skill 1 and couldn't help myself, pretty much immediately had a go at it Some familiarity with Scythe 2 from playing it a couple times over the years. Panicked on map04 and lost control of the situation lol nmlite-scythe2-duckreconmajor.zip

Sad news. He seemed quite spry in his older years, I know he was mid 70s but this came out of nowhere a bit. I got to see him live a few years ago, I got there a bit late and was at the gate when Changes in Latitude played. idk why I remember that moment specifically so well but overall it was a great show as he was known to put on I borrowed my granddad's copy of Songs You Know by Heart and listened to it a bunch when i first learned to drive A lot of people liked to rag on him, but in my totally objective opinion those folks were pretentious dorks who hate fun. But I have to say I had a good laugh at this nonsense blog post when i came across it years ago. A strange and fanciful hit-piece on Jimmy for the crime of..*checks notes* speaking positively about Barack Obama in 2008. It even includes a pretend story about a fanatical Parrothead who abandons their daughter who's on dialysis to join Jimmy on the road. That arc of My Brother My Brother and Me where Justin became a Jimmy Buffett fan and they ended up befriending the man himself was great.

had to DNF at 1:48 lol. Very enjoyable map though, I'm going to go back and play with saves https://www.mediafire.com/file/op8feufrpm22pgl/DuckRMfdaContest19.zip/file

Just noticed the last line, I am going to try to make it to the contest

Recently stumbled across TreuloseTomate who posted videos of their Sunlust playthrough that was a fun watch. I found the channel right after MAP28 went up so it was an exciting couple of uploads I guess this thread is proof of non-under-ratedness but another +1 for Vytaan. Very entertaining while also being very good at the game. He played along with decino's Doom Nightmare 100% series and at one was playing maps keyboard only with a busted hand (with mostly default controls!) He just hit the 1k subscriber count, this is a case of "go ahead and sub now because you'll be doing it eventually anyway"
