what are you working on? I wanna see your wads.

I am working on a wad that I am calling "urban hell"

The idea is that it consists mainly of urban textures. It kinda reminds me of gothic doom.

I just finished the first map and released it for testing and feedback, but the final wad is not finished.

I'm tipping my hat a bit too early as this project is a couple years out, but here's a couple from an arena I was testing today:

Got back to mapping Eraser in full today. Spent a good while figuring out how to do light sequences in Boom, which is easier than I thought, actually.

Really digging the aesthetics. You really do like concrete it seems

Got inspired to make a horror map from playing lots of DOOM 64 (WIP)

"Can't feel my legs bro..."

Thanks, and yeah, checks out. :P I love brutalism and how well it matches the abstact feel I find myself drawn towards when mapping less common themes.

All the upgrades and mutations for the Druid's Dryad Form in the upcoming 0.99 release of Walpurgis!!

Along with a few other things like the terrifying new Locust Flechettes.

Even this screenshot from UDB looks cool. I'd be curious what it looks like in game

OMG is that the star ship enterprise????

If you're referring to my map, I'm afraid it's not. More medieval castle in Hell.

Dropping next week: "The Box", a mystery puzzle wad inspired by the movie Cube. This wad is chock full of secrets and puzzles. Will you be able to escape alive?

So, after a month and a half, the first map out of six is ready. At this rate, it will be a long time before release. At least I didn't have to do a lot of rearranging to make it work in vanilla, unlike my previous work. And for the first time I tried to make a map with full co-op support.

Finally I made fully functional second map. Spent a lot of time redesigning the non-linear green slime area for two reasons. Firstly, because of my "favorite" Draw Seq limit, and secondly, because I tend to forget that the scale of a sketch in a sketchpad is not the same as the real scale. But I think it ended up being better than the original version. Now it's time for the detailing stage.

Not sure if it belongs here, but I created some "help screens" describing weapons/spells/abilities of playable characters in my TC project.

Some of them are:

The dim backgrounds are actually not part of the help screens. These are just random levels I took the screenshots in.

Today I decided to get back into the habit of mapping after surgery, this is the secret area:
