The Doom Master Wadazine #5 - Featuring MAYhem 2020 and the Comic Doom History article!

Enjoying these very much. The articles are interesting and unique—they aren't simply rehashed discussions and cover topics that haven't been highlighted in the past. Additionally, the comical advertising vignettes break up the zine and provide fun breaks for the reader. You have really improved the quality since that first issue... keep going. Font choices and layout have gotten much cleaner; the @LiT_gam3r article on the Doom comic has the best formatting in the zine—the rest of the magazine should take a page (lol) from his article and add a apace after paragraphs and eliminate indented paragraphs while making sure all articles are using the same font for the body. I adore the GamePro theme @Roebloz added to his article. Keep up the good work.

I'm excited to read this! I can't wait to see how you set up my article. Thank you so much @Endless, and a huge thanks to @BluePineapple72 for editing the article! A huge help!

I have never actually read GamePro so I guess that was accidental? Thanks anyways.

The cover art is clearly GamePro inspired, so I just assumed yours was a continuation of that theme.

I like this. I really really like this.

Just imagine the physical prints of these. Like holy shit.

Nice job everybody! I really liked that! I should start writing my next article today. Funny crossword. I could only figure out like 2.

This is super cool. Never would I thought I'd see a "wadazine" haha. perfect catchy name, and great content. A+

Thanks Scuba! The effort has certainly yielded results, but we can still improve further. As for the designs that have been chosen for the articles; in fact this visual redesign is in charge of the editors/graphic designers: @Nikoxenos and @4MaTC ! They choose the theme and format to be applied to each of the articles.  ;)

I hope you don't run out of steam or something. You release them so fast. I'm onto the read.

Don't worry! Not only I take care of the ideas, but we have a great team that keeps raining down excellent contributions. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I do enjoy crosswords (solutions)

Hah! You're the first one not to use the paint pencil to draw the answers xD. Congratulations! The puzzle was an idea by @Nikoxenos that had more impact than I thought it would. A sweet surprise that everyone enjoyed it.

Excellent job on the latest issue. It really keeps getting better. :)

It's actually limit-removing, and it's also not even done.

Hence the WIP. Meaning Work in progress.

Last time I checked, you classified that as a Boom-compatible project, and the maps seem to play like one. You might have made the change too late, when the reviews have got submitted. Perhaps someone at the editor crew could edit out the mistake - so apologize for the misinformation.

Wow. Just wow. Doomworld deserved a great magazine now here it is.

The Doom community deserves it! Thanks a lot, glad you liked it.

This is a shining example of why this community is sooooo awesome. Not for business, not for profit, not even bragging rights... this is a creation of love. 

It's obvious that a lot of hard work and dedication went into this and it shows. I only hope that all of those that brought this to fruition will see this comment. This is awesome and I hope to see more in the future!

All of us who participated are completely grateful, and I take care of transmitting that feeling, so thank you very much for reading us! Stay tuned for the next issue ;)

The wadzine webpage should just list every issue by it's cover in an array to really show them off.

Oh I can see a screenshot of my map from here!! :D

Thanks for featuring my mod in the section for new stuff!

Can you clarify what do you mean by saying that SPIADW was inspired by noclip? Do you mean the command that lets you go through walls? Are you referring to the documentary film series about video games? I legitimately don't know what you're referring to, lmao.

If you're upset about me necrobumping, sorry.

Newstuff author - maintainer here (also credited at the beginning of the guide), that was mainly a shit attempt of humor (and me being half-drunk at the time) on my part. I did find some of the mod's contents a bit too surreal for my tastes (Hexen weapon sprites mixed with cartoon fantasy enemy creatures for example) but nonetheless enjoyable.

Not sure what you mean by wadazine webpage but at my site I did something like what you mentioned. But my site is just a mirror of sorts so I guess it’s not that relevant.

Something like this... so you can visually see every cover as you scroll. Hmm... this would actually be pretty neat for the Cacoward main page to show every intro picture for each year.
