I know the project is over, but I really wanna say this because I didn't have time to do it earlier - this was a really awesome idea for a project and I wish I could have contributed. It reminds me of this old map, and honestly, maybe it's better I couldn't contribute, because I probably would have made something in a similar style in order to troll people 😄

Rats in the wall (MAP06's music) is pretty damn good

Is this still on? Looks awesome, if it is alright, I’ll take the 05 slot?

So i looked more into the sky transfers issue, and @NoisyVelvet you might really just have to use another port or "update to" DSDA. Literally any other port i'm aware of allows for sky transfers under doom 2 compatibility, prboom+ probably doesn't just because it's so old and abandoned.

@Walter-c Yes, I'm planning to make more DUIs, they're going to have different map formats, and different deadlines, depending on the theme of the incident.

I had a partially done map for this sitting around, and I decided to finish it up in the hopes it can get included.

Map Name: Crescent Cliffs
Map Slot: MAP23 (for the MIDI)
Music: whatever was in MAP23 of the resource
Tested with: DSDA Doom 0.25
Difficulties: implemented
Multiplayer: coop starts placed, additional multiplayer monsters and ammo, DM starts placed
Play time: likely 30-45 minutes
Notes: This map leans more on exploration and incidental combat; it's the TNT to Lucky Clover's Plutonia. It still has a few combat setpieces, but everything is more free-flowing and less tightly choreographed.

@Cuppykeks Really awesome ideas! I especially like the middle eastern, tower and tree house ideas.

As for the map I started, it could go in a few possible directions. Just made a couple combat scenarios, including a combat puzzle designed around pushing gaspods, and started making a central area. As of right now, I'm thinking it'll be an interconnected town-style map with gothic architecture. Want to also make it perched high up in the mountains if I can pull that off, but not sure since the sky has to be at/above player level to avoid getting wonky.

I also had some ideas for a magic-themed map set in a wizard's tower/library, including an area with portals to strange and varied settings.
