@xScavengerWolfx sure thing. My midis are free for everyone to use :D The only thing I ask of you is to send me a link to your work so I can check it out.

Ok do you have a file of the midis. 

I can post the link here when finished

Hey there people, one final update before the big end.

I will be afk for a week or two, so I won't be able to work on the project.

Plz send over the final maps, or any fixes and when I return I will start wrapping things up.

I know i got my two maps in and tested at least map03 but when i was playing the beta again i saw my map 31 was in as well. So i'm all good on my end. 

Here is the final version of my map. I reduced the number of slime trails as much as I could and made a few last tweaks to some of the encounters. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1diRNIRxunmDEtEh9bVCIKSJdNofA0ZvG/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for organizing this, Ofisil!

Here is my final map for THEME-GAWAD. I know I'm very... VERY late to uploading this, but I finished it.
The Midi @Demonic Meatball made for it is honestly the best part about this map. I honestly wish it would be used on a much cooler map but I'm grateful for Meatball to make one for me. This map isn't that special, but I think the cathedral is pretty cool. I also enjoy this warzone in the middle of the desert. Nothing wrong with the level that I know off. Thank you Ofisil for making this project =)

I played through the map real quick. It looks cool, the spider turrets work really well and create some nice unique fights at the start.

The last switch to the exit does have a different texture than the others, I don't know if thats intentional. Also, the textures on those pillars with the switches inside seem to be off. Lastly, I believe spider masterminds are not allowed this early.

Gameplaywise I'd add a bit more ammo or a supershotgun/chaingun at the start, I ended up pistoling the archvile.

Great Map and awesome action.

Played the map, didn't find any major problem

The only one complaint is that thing 571 (Floor lamp near the exit) obstructs my jump from the ledge above due to its infinite height, while I don't see it.

I tried your map too and I am somewhat at a loss about what am I supposed to do with only a shotgun. I know the project is said to aim for continuous play, but it's not an option right now.

I also archvile-jumped the first barrier.

Here we go! I added some ammo for the archvile and mancubus at the beginning. Also a few cells and rockets for continuous players.

So I am supposed to shotgun the arch-vile after all?

I think that's fine now. There's plenty of cover and the palyer learns from the start that he has to think about the spiders in the back. It's a short map, so i don't think it hurts too much if it takes a little longer at the start

Okay, I've started doing the final testing (you can see its progress in the OP)

Gonna need an update from @nue and @eLeR Creative to close submissions.

iirc the second one was on vacation. @nue any news on your end?

I made a small update to my map. It's a balance change regarding secret areas.

It's been a while since i've seen any activity here. What's the latest?  

Personally I've been super busy with work so I haven't dealt with the delays.

Still waiting a reply from two mappers. If I don't get a reply soon, the project will close, and I'll start working on the whole thing

Yeah i can understand real life can be a pain. I was thinking if we don't hear from the two mapper soon, could we do something like get people that already done maps here together and make the last two maps as a group? Like someone makes the layout, then someone dose enemy placements so on and so on. 

It was an idea i've had kicking around for a while but i feel like it was the right time to bring it up in case people we're ok with it, but it really up to you to make that call. Also i've been making videos of me playing through the beta wad (i have not released it yet because i'm still working on it) i wanted to make sure it was ok if i can post it unlisted on Youtube for people to watch and see how the project is going. 

As for me, i've been busy working on peroneal maps myself. Hope to get to play the last two maps before it in the final phase of the project. 

Witam, pragnę poinformować @Ofisil , że ostatnio znalazłem trochę wolnego czasu i inspirację do dokończenia mojej mapy. Praca w toku...

I have two sublocations to do.  I have an idea of them.  I guess I'll be done with this in a week.

Work on the location is in progress...

AV vibes. i love it...

Seeing this thread back in activity, as well as seeing @eLeR Creative's screenshots, gave me the determination to compose again.

Here's a .mid I composed for his map.

Sketch of the final battle arena.

I will not make it within the declared deadline, but the work is progressing.

@eLeR Creative, it really looks impressive!

Okay people. The project is now closed for any submissions.

Awaiting only @eLeR Creative 's map... and my own :)

I'll begin working on the project, testing stuff, and so on, and will occasionally upload the wad file.

Thanx to all who have participated!

Thanks for letting me show off my mapping skills as a new mapper. I did have fun and i did learn a lot from this, can't wait for the next one :).
