Italo-Doom: 20 Extreme-Slaughter™ maps [/idgames]

[Ribbiks]

Dannebubinga and I made some boom-compatible (-complevel 9) maps, 20 to be precise. They're absurdly difficult slaughter maps which most players will probably hate. Featuring award-winning map design:

- No difficulty settings!
- Mandatory platforming!
- Inescapable pits!
- This is map01


Here are some screenshots:






Here is some download: download [/idgames]

[gaspe]

I feel obliged to play this.

[Breezeep]

Yeah, Definitely looks balanced to me.

[baja blast rd.]

Sick difficulty settings troll. Got excited for a few seconds after opening it in GZDB. But no. EVERYTHING is tagged hard.

[dew]

This is going to be topical, isn't it.

[Walter confetti]

Why Italo-doom? Ah no, i get it, it's because is inspired by italo-disco / italo-dance, right?

Anyway looks like a suicide.

[Tristan]

Good fucking grief

[baja blast rd.]

I have a failed HNTR FDA of the first map (two deaths) if anyone is interested in its sick value. Might also record a GOD MODE FDA if that's possible.

GoFuckYourself.wad, continuing the legacy of Sunlust map29, I see.

-complevel 9, I assume...?

[baja blast rd.]

This is the farthest I can get into map01. I'm bad at this game. Ribbiks probably considers this an EASY level. *pouts*

How do you deal with all of those fucking cybers at the end? I guess I have to be stingier with cell ammo early on.

edit: accidentallied a word.

[antares031]

Great... Another hardcore wad, another powerhack.deh I need to use.

yeah their infinite-tallness makes it a bitch to get the final cell cache. perhaps a few of those packs need to be moved to earlier on the rev ledge.

I've set up a Bestever Zandro server for COOP if anybody wants to give it a blast, it's not survival but no Complex Doom!

[HavoX]

I've got a bad, BAD feeling about those screenshots... :O

[Grain of Salt]

Where the hell do you guys get the energy to make this many good maps? I made like three maps this year.

[tourniquet]

Heh, at least noone can complain that it's too easy on HNTR :D. Totally insane stuff, far beyond my skills so i hope someone records demos for this.

[koren]

Something to grind against over the christmas break, excellent!

[joe-ilya]

Looks redundant. I wouldn't have fun in these boring layouts and lazy monster placement. Sunlust got some charm to it because it was clever and made you think.
I especially loathe the revenant-icious screenshots.

[baja blast rd.]

Hmm, the difficulty is actually quite manageable (i.e., not "die multiple times a minute" hard) when you know what to do. Not as intimidating as I thought.

Maybe you're not in the target audience. :)

Nothing. We just like italo-dancing around revenants. Baila bolero!

Too bad you didn't like it Joe-ilya! It would mean a lot to me to get your seal of approval.

[Rayziik]

Dammit Ribbiks/Danne, I can't play/demo all these wads at the same time! How do you even make these things so fast?

Here's - MAP01 - UV-Max in 7:32.

Not an optimized route just wanted to prove I can beat the map. Fairly reasonable after the lucky start and diving into the slime area, then it's a case of having agile movement and not being reckless when dealing with the Cybers. The only aspect of the map I don't like is the beginning with the Archviles as it seems entirely luckbased whether the Cyber hits them in a split second or your toast as it's near impossible to move reliably between the pinkie horde to ensure you reach cover in time to avoid their fire. Oh and ofcourse the platforming at the end is absurd if you take into account demo recording, their should be a tele even if it is hidden.

A fantastic surprise nevertheless, it feels like a combination of Swift Death + Death Destiny.

I thought I should link it here rather then in the 'Official link demos to other forums' thread given this is still in beta.

[baja blast rd.]

Like we needed proof of that. lol
