taviow Posted November 20, 2023 What's the difficulty cap? Not that I'd do anything crazy, just to make sure I'm aligned with the goal if I claim a slot. I feel kinda interested but haven't decided yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Misty Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) You could play my map to feel difficulty around(will tweak level a bit more later). As for my own tastes, I like hard, but fair levels that don't overstay their welcome. Almost forgot - load it with resources I included. 0 Share this post Link to post
Silhouette 03 Posted November 20, 2023 How open is this project to newer mappers? I have nearly three years of mapping experience. I can also DM you one of my maps if you'd like to take a look at my work. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maribo Posted November 20, 2023 Cool seasonal project, not here to claim a spot but just to let you know that your example map has typo in the UMAPINFO that will prevent it from loading in DSDA-Doom and probably a few other ports too: Line 4 author = Misty should be author = "Misty" 2 Share this post Link to post

Misty Posted November 22, 2023 Hello, I want to share update about textures and sprites. Sprites - now they use Doom Christmas: Enhanced (Resource Pack) by Arsinikk. There shouldn't be many changes from previous resources. If there any problems, let me know. Link remains the same, only numbering changed inside the zip, now it's v1.1 . Textures - provided alt link to them, because some people reported that they can't get them from previous link. It should be resolved now. Link to the Doom Christmas: Enhanced (Resource Pack) if anyone wants to check them out: Spoiler 27 minutes ago, Plerb said: I think I'll try and make a map for this I'll add you on the list shortly. 2 Share this post Link to post
