Dragonfly Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Eviternity is a megawad comprised of six 5-map episodes (called Chapters) plus two secret maps. This project exclusively uses OTEX, a brand new high quality texture pack by ukiro. Eviternity's six chapters explore a series of unique and varied themes, each featuring classic gameplay with an interest in making each map hold its own unique identity and personality. The themes are "Medieval", "Techbase", "Icy Castles", "Industrial / Brutalism", "Hell / Gore / Alien" and "Heaven". This project was created as a birthday gift to Doom, which is celebrating its 25th birthday on the day this was released. The texture pack used in this project, OTEX, was also released on the same day - so please do not use Eviternity as a base for your wads & mods. While mostly being a "Dragonfly project", with 24 maps being made or heavily worked on by myself, I present to you a mighty lineup of well-known guest mappers who have crafted beautiful and fun levels. Since the initial release we've worked hard for an additional two months working on the now-final version of Eviternity! I hope you enjoy Eviternity, thanks for downloading & playing! Eviternity is primarily an MBF format project, intended to be played in the following ports: PrBoom+, GZDoom, Eternity & Doom Retro; and is supported in Zandronum when playing multiplayer. This was tested with the latest versions of each during the creation, so please ensure your copy of your respective source port of choice is up to date! /idgames: Download Now ModDB: Download Now DFDoom.com: Download Now Dropbox: Link removed - dropbox disabled link sharing on my account for excessive traffic.

Viewers of Dragonfly's Stream I thank you all for providing me seemingly unlimited motivation! <3 Come hang out with the developers on Discord; we're a friendly bunch! :) https://discord.gg/D4Sv5px Edited February 12, 2019 by Dragonfly : Final version released! 206 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Now that the final version is out and we're not going to make any more changes, we encourage you to speedrun Eviternity! I will list Youtube Videos here, be it for individual levels, full episodes, full game, etc; each in your favourite speedrun mode, such as UV Max, UV Speed, TAS... Actually scratch that idea, I'm lazy. If you're going to record a speedrun, I would recommend doing your runs in PrBoom+ (not GlBoom+) using complevel 11. I look forward to seeing how fast Eviternity can be beaten! If you want to submit a demo, head on over to the Eviternity Demos Thread. Edited July 12, 2020 by Dragonfly 6 Share this post Link to post

Steve D Posted December 10, 2018 Too bad you don't have any attractive maps. ;) 2 Share this post Link to post
Firedust Posted December 10, 2018 I'm gonna be posting whatever I find in this thread. Hopefully, you won't mind. On map 6, the bit with the spiral staircase there is a zombieman stuck in the wall (the area with two zombiemen and a chaingunner). On map 7, there are two stuck chaingunners on the structure to the left of the starting area. Playing on UV in the GZDoom 3.6.something 1 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted December 10, 2018 Thank you everyone for the kind comments! @Firedust How odd - this is why this release is RC1 and not final; so please, report all the bugs you can find! Thank you. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Cage Posted December 10, 2018 Congrats on the release! Happy I was able to contribute, although somewhat last minute ;) 5 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted December 10, 2018 Despite the last-minute nature of the contribution, that TITLEPIC/M_DOOM is a work of art! Thank you again for your contribution. And while I'm at it; I'd like to say a massive, massive thank you to each and every person who's contributed to Eviternity, from those who made maps down to those who've simply liked a screenshot. I don't think I've ever been so motivated in all my life to work on something as this, and couldn't have done it without you all. Cheers! :) 12 Share this post Link to post
