Altars of Madness demos [-complevel 9]

Altars of Madness is a set of 12 relatively short but fairly challenging boom-compatible maps by myolden.

Suggested demo prefix: aom.

UV-MAX runs of the first 3 maps to start the thread:

Hm, Map 03 run desyncs for me. Map 04 is fine.

You sure this wasn't recorded on RC2 version? Cause my Map 03 run also desynced after the final updates, so I redid it.

Would be nice if someone confirms/refutes this, in case it's me doing something wrong.

weird, it should be version from idgames

oops, i had wrong demo file on it. Updated message

I routed Map03 but it was only a few seconds faster than Raven's fill, so I didn't really feel like executing it. There's probably something obvious that I'm missing, it definitely feels like that map can be sub-5 as well.

btw myolden, if you read this, thanks for making this wad. I played maps 01-03 during RC1 and decided to wait for final to do the rest, it's been quite fun. Evokes thoughts towards Sunlust E1 to a degree, feels like it has a similar threat level (and some fight similarities) but is also structured differently (most evident as lock-ins that aren't so long that you end up killing everything by the time you can leave).

Map09 UV-Max in 6:37 - aom09m637.zip

Skipped Map07 for the same reason as as 03, I want to find a tangible time save but the route I came up with was only a few seconds difference.

Map10 UV-Max in 4:59 - aom10m459.zip

Map12 UV-Max in 5:33 - aom12m533.zip

Cool wad, but I do wish there weren't mandatory death exits at the end of every map. Might have been a fun d2all.

01-04 is missing because I just started using the demo format, I originally just ran them with direct capture for YouTube. Might rerun them sometime and post demos here.

Reran Map12, edited previous post.

Misses a kill (not sure if that's why it isn't on YT).

Fixed.

Uploaded a failed demo video on Youtube which I already fixed but forgot to upload the correct demo here too.
