DBP57: Shatter Realm

MAP09 breaks in complevel 2:

I think the two zombiemen in the following room are stuck in the ceiling, preventing the sector they're standing in from lowering.

Ive maybe had issues on lvl 6, lzdoom default comp, the 2 pillars that rise up to get to the button that allows access to the yollow key rise up too far and i cant seem to figure out how to get across then... maybe im just dumb but it seems like a problem

Updated the OP with a quick hotfix. An old version of MAP07 was included in the previous upload - the hotfix contains the most recent version.

Hi folks, just finished Map 1 and I think I found an issue:

Holy fkn sht this one like... damn!!!

love the spacious areas and ample monster mosh pits on this one ccc:

On map 8 if you ride the blue key up you cant seem to come back down

Excited to give this a play, the theming looks great.

Oozing with atmosphere. Maybe it's just me but this one seems to be a bit more on the tougher side than previous entries -- not that that's a problem, mind, but the difficulty of this one reminds me more of the earlier entries.

Not exactly a complaint or really even a nitpick, but with the changes to the palette making reds and pinks darker and the greens more toxic-looking, the blue range sticks out a bit like a sore thumb. It'd be nice if this were made brighter or a little more purplish, perhaps, to complement the green. I do adore the laser-focus on visuals that DBPs often have and this one isn't an exception.

Map 5 has some visual glitches.  Linedef 11258 has a missing texture.  There are also some slime trails due to node builder problems scattered across the map.  Also, some of the door tracks need to be unpegged.

MAP03 is my favorite this far, the secrets are very "liminal space" stylized and it encourage well the player to find them.

This one particularly gave me creepy sensations :

I wasn't aware at all about finding this type of aesthetic since I was focused about eventual traps and the fact that it contrast highly with the map by itself.

Secrets out of question, the map is very cool and I like the gameplay.

Of cours the other maps are also top-tier.

My backlog continues to expand...

Noticed a missing texture in the first secret of MAP05 :

(here on the automap) :

I like the mild difficulty-spike compared to the previous dozen (or so) entries, only on MAP03 and digging the hell out of the atmosphere.

Fantastic job, as always!

Absolutely incredible screenshots! The DBP crew continues to blow us all away - I'm looking forward to playing this one. (Although as the resident periodic table enjoyer, I feel compelled to be that guy and say it's spelled Bohrium.)

Posting my playthru for the devs. It's just a casual play of map01-07, but there could be some valuable info for ya, maybe.
I had to skip map05, took too long to find doors switches and keys for my taste. but i couldve maybe just been too "tired" ;) Had a great time though, great work

i'll probably finish it today but at least this is most of it
 

Wanted to pop in and show some love for all of you at DBP. Shatter Realm was a really fun set and took me about 3 and a half hours to complete. The color scheme was excellent and the levels were very aesthetically pleasing and the soundtrack included tracks that I found myself vibing to while performing acts of slaughter on those poor unsuspecting demons. 

Thank you DBP for all your efforts in creating all the levels we get to enjoy!

This stuff is GREAT!  Make MORE!!!

You rock!  Loving it!

Updated the OP with v3.

Changes:

Hi all, revved up version v3 and loving it so far. My standout so far has to be Map 3 but it goes without saying that they are all amazing so far

Sorry to be a killjoy but I found an issue on Map 5:

mucho thanks for all the bug reports. They are being noted and squashed.

Howdy Folks, I'm on Map 7 and hoping you could help me, been stuck on this for an hour (I hate asking as I love Exploration in Doom but I'm at a loss)

Update: Ignore this - Found it eventually, thanks anyway :)

Finished this set tonight in a single sitting, UV pistol start, and was really impressed by it.  Maps 3, 6, and 7 were the standouts for me, and the visuals throughout were really on point.  I should play Map 8 again, because it didn't click with me, and I totally failed to find any of the secrets.  It felt to me like map 7 would've made a better final map with its more high impact action, but that's really just my preference.  Great work to all involved!

Map 01 has one of the most crappiest secrets in a DBP wad had to noclip other than that good gameplay and a bit tight on ammo

Updated the OP with v4. Probably the final update, assuming no more bugs are reported.

Changes:

Also, for those who may be wondering where DBP58 is - it's delayed due to technical issues. Expect to see it in May 2023.

My UV-Max, single segment playthrough of Shatter Realm:

Really great stuff, thanks for making this.

This is now finalized and up on idgames and the OP has been updated accordingly. Thanks for playing and thanks for the bug reports!
