Tarnsman Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Mapping Contest 2: Alfonzo's Adventures Continue Jimmy did a thing for his 15th, I'm doing a thing for my 10th. IWAD: Doom 2 Texture Resource: Surprise Me Deadline: May 3, 2021 Limits: 1 map per person Formats: Any that runs in GZDoom or EE Map Names: Alfonzo must be involved in the map name as part of his continued series of adventures (Example: Alfonzo Spends $5,000 On Gacha Trying To Pull A SSR Gary Ablett Jr. Archer Servant) 1st Place - $1,000.00 USD 2nd Place - $250.00 USD 3rd Place - $250.00 USD (Maps can win multiple and maps that place in the regular prize ranks can win these as well) Best Laugh - Map that amuses me the most - $100.00 USD Less is More - Map that best demonstrates good quality over quantity - $100.00 USD Best Theme - Map I think has the best theme - $100.00 USD Most Tarns - Map that emulates me the most - $100.00 USD Modular Bonus - For Whatever I Fancy - $100.00 USD If you use custom textures/flats/assets they need to be packaged with your map file. I click. I play. No drag. If you include external resources, I will not load it and I will judge your map for how it is as the checkered landscape that EE or Zdoom displays it as. (I hear MTrop has some tools that supposedly make this very easy.) First and foremost have fun. There is no build time limit but I ask that you state what your build time was honestly as in the spirit of fairness I'm going to place a different weight on something made in 15 hours versus 150 hours. Please do not accidentally copy and paste things from your "inspiration folder" for your submissions. Please do not fall into the trap of more = better. Generally speaking I will enjoy a map that does a lot with 100 monsters far more than a map that's a slog with 1,000 monsters. If you're going to submit a massive map, it should have a reason to be a massive map (i.e. it feels like a proper exploratory adventure, etc.) Please do not load your map up with every custom monster and resource under the sun. Please do not make very lazy joke wads. The best joke wads are good maps with the joke added as a bonus. While stealing other people's stuff is not allowed, if you know what shadowporting is and you want to shadowport say an old Suitcase of Gor map, that is allowed. Same template for submissions as Jimbo's. Post your submissions in this thread, or PM me, or e-mail them to me with "Mapping Contest" somewhere in the subject line. Quote Name: (Name of map) Map Format: (Doom, Boom, Hexen, UDMF) Ports Tested: (List all ports tested here) Build Time: (Number of hours spent) Credits: (Textures, Music, Etc.) External PWADs: ( :^) ) Requirements: (Jumping/crouching/freelook required/permitted, etc.) Edited May 14, 2021 by Tarnsman 63 Share this post Link to post

Altazimuth Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Educated-Guess Tip: If you're making a Boom-compatible map I would strongly advise testing in PR+ or Eternity, the latter tending to be Tarnsman's default for such things. Though the whole "Ports Tested" thing kinda resolves that somewhat. 0 Share this post Link to post

MDevlin Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I'll bite, I'm always down to build! It's been a minute since I've done anything in GZDoom though so this'll be fun. Edited April 9, 2021 by MDevlin 0 Share this post Link to post
StormCatcher.77 Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Alas, I missed the opportunity to participate in the Jimmy contest, but I hope to take a part here (but I can’t guarantee). This is a good time to go back to Doom mapping. I don't know what it will be, but I have only GZDoom-ish techbases in my mind... 3 Share this post Link to post
