Meow-meow, motherfuckers.

Updated poor "SVD" sniper rifle a bit (with some withdrawals): Reduced amount of carrying ammo from 300/600 to 150/300. Added penetrating effect, so main target gonna have 50 additional DMG along with those poor bastards who standing behind them on the distance up to ~1024mu. Here is a link to the latest version...

My cock is truly... eternal

Thank you for your replies @JadingTsunami and @Cuppykeks . I've decided to go with your suggestion of manually building the resource WAD in Slade.

Nice lil' arena map. I couldn't find the exit after I killed the cyberdemons though, IDK if I was missing a switch to open those doors or if I need to update my Doom Retro port. I missed out on a weapon or two until the final fight (I was running around trying to provoke infighting for the first two phases) since I didn't figure out what those switches on the sides did until then. Maybe the FLAT on those could be a brighter color like blue to help it stand out amongst the darkness and monsters roaming about. GG.

Mhm! All very nice and I've accounted for your ideas in the latest iteration of "how a more complete project might look," I'm especially interested in the gaspod combat puzzle I've messed with some textures and concepts in these pictures, though the top one has a few textures that aren't in my latest build: [image: mDzZBFi.png] [image: R8vDnEh.png] But yeah I'm bumping this to let it out that I'm rearing to get everything going again, despite the hiatuses. I don't know if there will be any other mappers, so I might have a lot more work cut out for me :S

Hmm the image? Not exactly, but "ORACLE666 is about drifting into the liminal space between real and surreal, floating through ethereal pastel clouds, and dreaming future memories" sounds nice though. Maybe something made with Bryce 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGIwcPA1_34 It won't run on my computer though so idk when or if I'll ever get to playing with it.

Cool! Let's frickin' goooooooooooooooooo

Thank you very much for playing! I appreciate it.

In 2016, there was a guy on Doomworld who called himself the Doom Missionary, and he played Doom on a public library's computer, trying to encourage the locals to get more interested in Doom. The thread he made was dunked on by the forum dwellers at the time, and then it was shoved into Post Hell. Now, Post Hell is no more, and Internet Archive contains stuff up to 2015, so I cannot find it, sadly.

Just finished Three's a Crowd. What a high quality WAD! This is what I was talking about. Each map tells its own story and a part of the overarching story. Every map is different and not a single slot is wasted on filler (in my opinion). My favourite level would have to be MAP29 Sheer Poison. Not because I think it's the funnest (I hate the constant damage) but because it clearly communicates through the gameplay itself and the map geometry (where you start in a fake warehouse but really you're in hell), that the IoS is done playing around and is really trying to kill you this time. Combined with the music it gives a sense of hopelessness. That death is inevitable and that your struggles are almost over; give up, you'll die anyway, soon you can sleep. This level communicates a sense of sadness due to the inhospitable environment coupled with the cruel deception at the start. The last level, MAP30, is the only IoS fight I've encountered which isn't a let down. The strength of the multi-map build-up of the IoS and the sacrifices of the Doomguys gives gravitas to this enemy (without relying on the spawner!).

Darker ZIMMER forest with lakes of nukage and caves of ZIMMER and moss to go spelunking in. Very likely to have a few slaughter fights!

I like D_RUNIN, but I was never an active PWAD player back in the 90th. I imagine there are 3 types of dislikes: People who genuinely dont enjoy listening to the track while they play Doom II. Maybe some of them genuinely dislike listening to Bobby Prince music while they play Doom II, maybe not, who knows, but somehow I doubt they are very vocal about their dislike. People who played a lot of 1-level PWADs in the 90th. They may have played Master Levels, which gave them a bit of D_RUNNING disorder, and then some of them took Maximum Doom for a spin (it was on the same CD, right?) which made the disorder incurable. I think they might share some of their pain with D_RUNNIN when asked about it, but have something better to do normally. Bandwagon fellows of type that believe it is "cool" when you are vocal about your dislike of something, which is not, let's say, outright apparently that bad and of type that belive it is "cool" for a "true" oldtimer doomer to have dislike of D_RUNNIN, depite never having suffered from the disorder mentioned. Now "coolness" needs diligent cultivation, so I would expect this type to be the major source of buzzing about how bad the track (supposedly) is. EDIT: As I mentioned, I like D_RUNNIN, but I also like some diversity to the soundtrack: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZuvGP-1B6pk

Levels 6 to 7 where nice and fun. Very roomy for zooming about. Combat was fun. I did find the levels a little on the bare side. But those fish! And the fishing boats. So cute. I love it! kvsari_lazarevenantlvl06to08.lmp Level 8 was one tough level for me. I liked it (but hated the crusher section especially when I though of being clever and saving the berserk for later only for you to block my way, good work! 10/10). Aesthetically I think this level is very strong with the sunken ruins and the fishing boats floating above baiting you with the key on a hook. It's so atmospheric. I also like how no music plays (unless this is unintentional) as it adds to the suspense of the level and fuels its exploratory nature. Having background music thumping away would ruin its non-linearity. An enjoyable, slow paced level. kvsari_lazarevenantlvl08.lmp Now for criticisms. This is the kind of level I'd play with saves. If the levels in this wad are going to continue getting tougher I'm in for a bad time (or I'll have to improve). The one thing I found most lacking was armour. Please throw in another two green armours. That would make things much easier health wise.

@Thelokk Thank you. Yeah, MAP03 is meant to be the real meat, the rest is just flavour, if they were as much of a magnum opus, that would take away from the main event rather than add to it. Also, RC2 did done duploaded.

I actually had to look at the screenie for a good 30 secs to understand what was going on, even after playing that map dozens of times.
