EXTRA BEANY CANNED DOOM! 32 funky fun-sized maps in 32 fun flavors – now on /idgames

OMG you finally did it!! 

Kudos 

Lots of wacky out of the box unique random ideas here worth checking out if you're sick of the old samey same 

Well done man had a pleasure playing most of these

Congrats! Looks like a lot of fun. I will definitely try it out.

This is cool stuff! I have enjoyed what I have played so far :)

Haven't downloaded it yet but I'm obsessed with the concept of "Keen Mustn't Die".

This disappeared for a year...and I wondered what happened. Congrats on the release!!!

This is a full megawad of funky, gimmicky and mostly small maps with a wide variety of themes, ideas, and gameplay styles.  There's a bit of something in here for everybody: run-and-gun action, suspense and atmosphere, slaughter, indoor maps, outdoor maps, hell maps, space maps, classic-style, '94-style and some whackadoo shit I can't even give a description to, to name just a few.  You'll just have to get your feet wet and see for yourself!

 

You may have played some of these in their previous incarnation, back when this was just a handful of silly little speedmaps I was throwing out.  In fact it really started as a single map (that's MAP18 now) which I contributed to @Dusty_Rhodes neat speedmapping thread at the time (without which/whom this absolutely would not have happened).  It got me rethinking my usual mapping workflow and penchant for making really big maps, helping me keep down sprawl and put down map features without overthinking any of it too much.  It still took two and a half years to get the whole thing done but that's been with a lot of other things going on.

 

The mapping process (theoretically) went something like this:

 

        🫘30 minutes to draw the overall layout, inc. rooms, sector heights, doors, lifts etc.
        🫘minutes to texture, place monsters, add detail if time permits
        🫘minutes to tweak it until I actually like it
      
Actual build times mostly between 1.5 and 10 hours because I either forgot the rules or made layouts that were way too ambitious. At any rate in spite of the "speedmap" genesis of the idea I didn't forbid myself from going back and modifying maps to make them more fun or more fully realized—as long as I wasn't adding entire new areas and only adjusting what was already there. Nonetheless speed remained core to the project because I'm a busy man and I knew it would never see the light of day or just peter out otherwise (see my other much more long-festering mapping project.)

 

Why "Extra Beany Canned Doom"? Because:

 

        🫘Like beans, the maps are small and proteiny
        🫘Also like beans, there are exactly 32 of them
        🫘Like canned food, the maps are quick to make and play
        🫘Like Doom, the maps are full of Doom enemies and textures
        🫘"Beany" is a funny word lol beany
        🫘I actually hate beans so I'm motivated to make the maps extra good to compensate

 

Special thanks to all the playtesters who contributed in ways great and very great to making this less of an incoherent mess than it would have been otherwise.  @baja blast rd. @Biodegradable @CBM @Clippy @Dubbag @Dusty_Rhodes @FEDEX @Fernito @Gibbon jade @kalensar @Kyka @LadyMistDragon @LoatharMDPhD @Maribo @Nefelibeta NightriderDoom @Origamyde @azerty @P41R47 @Sesamia @Silhouette 03 @slugger @thiccyosh @xdarkmasterx Thanks all for being subjected to this madness

Make sure to check the "how to play" and especially the big conspicuous "READ THIS" sections below.  Beyond that, enjoy, and let me know if anything is broken so that I can unbreak it for everyone.  I'll fix anything that's egregiously busted and maybe do some rebalancing if something is off from the difficulty intended (maybe start with Hurt Me Plenty if it's your first time), but for the most part this should be done and I should be ready to move on with my life

 

 

 

Behold, the miracle of birth! Today we are witness to the hatching of the doomguy from its egg, truly one of the wonders of nature. Watch as it eats the gibs left behind by its mother, made of the remains of her mate.

 

What lies ahead for this young doomguy as it emerges from its nest? Most likely, ripping and tearing, and the struggle for survival that all beasts must face. The little doomguy wastes no time: look, a chainsaw left behind by loggers! Time for him to go gather some tasty, juicy gibs of his own, before the next mating season commences.

 

 

 

        🫘Play with any limit-removing source port — it's mostly tested in Crispy but they all should work in GZDoom, DSDA-Doom, Eternity and the other limit-removing ports, and each map has been tested in them (but see below)

        🫘Single player 

        🫘Freelook permitted, that's how I tested it

        🚫No jumping or crouching

 

The difficulty levels are loosely balanced as such (noting that I am bad at Doom and that limits my ability to properly balance for UV):

        🫘ITYTD: Go for it!  A nice way to casually experience the maps with minimal pressure or frustration.
        🫘HNTR: Same as HMP, but with fewer monsters.  Balanced to be a gentle challenge for people who are new or just want a relaxed time
        🫘HMP: The "default" difficulty, recommended for first time playthrough unless you're looking for a challenge.  Same monster count as UV but with more kit. 
        🫘UV: It will get pretty hard sometimes but definitely not god level.  Same monster count as HMP but with less health/ammo/arms
        ☠️N!: lol no

 

All maps are tested from pistol start—you can play them continuous, but if your port supports the -pistolstart flag or equivalent then I recommend it (see below).  The maps are a hodgepodge of ideas with only the barest progression in theme or difficulty.  So if you aren't enjoying a map go ahead and skip it!  That's what God made idclev for (but I hope you enjoy most of the maps at least)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Since couple of maps take advantage of weird gimmicks like ghost monsters and some obscure-ish bugs with floor movement, make sure the following settings are set to YES in your favorite port:    

 

 

        ⚠️Use exactly Doom's floor motion behavior
        ⚠️Ghost monsters on

 

 

        ⭐Infinitely tall actors off (if applicable)
        ⭐Lost soul limit off (you know you want to)

 

 

        🫘Freelook enabled/autoaim disabled (if you use a mouse)
        🫘Playing with -pistolstart parameter (supported by Crispy, DSDA, Woof!, some others)

 

 

I have the COMPLVL lump in there so if you are using a current version of GZDoom, DSDA, Nugget, Woof!, or some others then it *should* set some of these for you. However it may be good to check them nonetheless because a couple maps WILL break otherwise, and COMPLVL support is still rudimentary in GZDoom.

Beans! Beans! We want beans! 🫘 congrats, Bunny, this sounds delightfully dank! 😎🙏

That stupid bunny finally did it!

Number 19: mouse in baked beans

Congrats on the release @Stupid Bunny!!!! This WAD is pure unhinged fun, do yourself a favor and go play it asap! 

Thanks all!  I hope with all the weird ideas it will balance out to being at least 75% a good time for everyone.

@Clippy appreciate it + the support throughout the process and playthrough vids for every map I released before the project went underground...and additional credit for the monster pole that made MAP16 possible (I didn't change the Pee Wee midi btw sorry (or am I?) to @Doomkid and everybody else's ears who plays it ;3 Remember you had an exceptionally good time with Angry Chair, hope whatever kind of inspiration got farted out in that map made it into the others.

Thanks @obake! Hope it’s a good time, would be honored to find out Santa Claus enjoyed my handiwork

@CBM good to hear! I think some of the ones I sent you for testing were among the more…questionable ones at least at the time so hopefully you’ve yet to see the best on offer here 

@Plerb That map was a lot of fun to make, and maybe I could have realized the concept a little better with extra time or thought or whatever but I still mostly like how it came out.  You'll be very pleased to know btw that's not the only Keen reference in the set ;3333 You may see some textures that you recognize from another forum a long time ago.  

@LadyMistDragon as mentioned above the project went into secret mode after I was about halfway through!  Although I won't pretend I was working on it that whole time.  I'm not sure how I had time to work on it at all, tbh I probably really didn't but finally at long last it is here for all to see.  Appreciate that you were wondering about it, hope was a fun surprise

@EduardoAndFriends dank, or jank?  Maybe both.  

@Biodegradable appreciate all your playthrough videos too, considering whether to change my pfp to the cacobunny for the time being (the only thing to survive from the old dogshit title screen along with Kenny Loggins I guess)

@ALilGrayBoi I had to look that up, and still don't really get it, but thanks :p

@Fernito Your feedback was super helpful through all this, really constructive and at least most of the time seemed to be an enjoyable experience for you too lol.  Hope other folks also enjoy all the unhingedness

I'm on MAP08 rn and I can't for the life of me figure out how to open this door leading to the red key. Hope I'm not missing something painfully obvious... (edit: ok i found the corresponding switch, it could be made more clear tho)

It's pretty cool so far! These maps are way more intricate than any of my speedmapping attempts. Granted, the longest I've spent making one was only around 90 minutes (that I timed anyways).

Hah glad you found it eventually. Not telegraphing switches properly is my speciality [obiwan.gif] Believe it or not it used to be even less obvious. Still working on that.

Hope you’re having a good time of it so far! lol at some point these became speedmaps with big giant air quotes around “speed”, both with the amount of tweaking after I initially called them finished and gradually increasing design times (although most of the layouts were still thrown down in 15-30 minutes and not really expanded from that timeframe). MAP29 and MAP32 don’t even pretend to be speedmaps.

you brilliantly described it. its a very funky mapset very fun to play mostly......reminds me of  kamasutra wad...

you very intelligently hide secrets.....gameplay is punchy n constant action 

my fda and first exit uv demo of map 1 to 25 

prboom cl2 demos

1-25.zip

Just beat MAP14, that was a stressful map but very fun. Loved the usage of Keen GBC music as well, for all that game's faults its soundtrack is imo superior to the original Keens. Looking forward to playing MAP32, I have a strong feeling what that map is gonna be ;)

Thanks for playing so far through it!  I like to keep things moving once the action starts, Doom has so many ways to be dynamic and keep the ground moving underneath the player (literally and figuratively ;3 ).  Glad you're having the exprience I was going for mostly.  I think people have compared my maps to Kama Sutra before--still never played it lol.  MAP26 I'm afraid might be a bit of a brick wall on any difficulty without some rebalancing (it has been an endless headache for me) but 27-29 I think are worth the struggle/idclev skip.  Not so sure about the final map lol

I'll hopefully have a bit of time soon to check out your demos, appreciate you sending those along too.

@Plerb I've still never played Keen GBC either, and while also not familiar with the soundtrack I loved this one here when I heard it--Xky came in clutch with the midi-fication of it too.  Hope it was the right fun/stress balance, I tried to lay it out so there would likely be an "oh shit" moment where the player realizes only one Keen is still alive.  Could think of ways the layout might be tweaked but I'm trying to keep these as close to their stream-of-consciousness floorplans as possible.

Your suspicions for MAP32 are 100% correct btw I hope you can find the way to get there

Played the first 2 maps so far. My thoughts are as follows:

01 Intro to Forestry

A fun romp. I was unsure whether I could or couldn't jump at first, so I chose not to. Then I remembered you said not to jump or crouch. I might suggest disabling jumping and crouching via Mapinfo, just to avoid confusion. 

As for the map, it's a fine opener, laid back in its approach to combat. The bestiary used is just right for this type of map.

02 Beware the Beast Man

A huge difficulty jump! Definitely a surprise, but a welcome one. Never have Zombiemen been so threatening. This map is unapologetic in its approach to hitscanners, especially hiding them in windows all over the place. I had lots of fun, but I am guessing this map will be divisive.

I'll give more reviews soon.

Congrats, @Stupid Bunny! I really should play more maps from you. I should play more maps in general tbh. I've only completed one single megawad so far lol so yea... *shrugs*

@obake Thanks!  Reviews like these are always super appreciated (obviously extra happy you've enjoyed at least the first two).  I'm cognizant of the risk inherent in putting a map like this in such an early slot, though part of the problem I guess is that a lot of these have the potential to be divisive :p  I haven't had anybody express more than moderate irritation at all the hitscannery madness here (so far, knock wood etc.) so hopefully it's balanced well enough to mitigate that.

@Astro X  Appreciate it :D I think like 80% of my publicly released maps are in this one wad here so there's not too much to go through lol.  I don't think I've completed a megawad in 15+ years so I can relate hehe.  Unlike my other maps at least these are quite small so I suppose it's a good sampler to play through or even just bounce around to check out the ones that sound neat and such

I've played about half of this so far, up through map 17 (including the secret maps). The gimmickry here isn't for everyone, but there are some fun ideas on display. Difficulty-wise, the maps have all been quite manageable even without saves on UV, and I can certainly see the reduced supplies coming into effect in some places. Despite that, I think UV is a great pick for anyone who can run with modern wads. Many of these maps put their most hectic foot forward, giving way in their later stages with consistent pressure.

I got SPECHITS overflows on several maps, but I'll assume you aren't too worried about demos in Crispy, which should be the only thing affected.

Some additional map-by-map notes (for reference, I played in DSDA Doom on -complevel 2):

Excited to see what awaits in the second half!

Why "Extra Beany Canned Doom"? Because:

 

        🫘Like beans, the maps are small and proteiny
        🫘Also like beans, there are exactly 32 of them
        🫘Like canned food, the maps are quick to make and play
        🫘Like Doom, the maps are full of Doom enemies and textures
        🫘"Beany" is a funny word lol beany
        🫘I actually hate beans so I'm motivated to make the maps extra good to compensate

Well this got a download out of me.

Edit: Ok had a chance to play the first couple maps. Fun stuff so far. Map 2 is just a riot.

Found this slime trail near the start of map 1.

Got to MAP32 and it's great stuff. I'd love to make some maps with these textures someday! I found a bug though. With the blue armor secret, there's a switch on a ledge that lowers some pillars allowing you to access that secret, but how I initially got into it was by straferunning off the ledge:

When you access it like this and don't lower the pillars you can get stuck in there. I'm guessing this way of accessing it is unintentional. It'd be nice if there was a way to fix this issue while keeping this way of accessing it, I love secrets where you have to make tricky jumps into places that don't look like they should be accessible.

Also, in MAP31 are you able to backtrack to the pool table starting area? I spent a good while running around aimlessly until I finally gave up and opened it into an editor to see how to get to the secret exit. I just idclipped back in there because I couldn't find a way to go back there otherwise.

(also damn, if I had just made 2 more posts before this one, this could've been my 314th Content :P)

@Large Cat that’s super good to know about the difficulty levels because as mentioned up top I’m crap at playing Doom and so it’s kind of guesswork for me to make UV pretty hard but not to the point that the outcome is totally in the RNG’s hands. I think I’ll leave them as is then since I suppose I don’t want it to become grindy on any difficulty.

MAP03 is one I’d say I’m pretty happy with, tried to use the smallest number of monsters most efficiently (and make it kind of scary too lol).  Somehow it felt right to put it earlier even if it’s harder than much of what comes later.

Thanks for the notes btw I’ve done in to fix most of them. However I can’t spot any HOMs in MAP15, I don’t know if the rising ceiling behaves differently across different ports or dependent on something else I haven’t found yet.

@TheLippyServer if you like pain elemental spam too then you should play more of my maps ;3 happy folks are mostly enjoying MAP02 much more than I expected, hope the good times keep rolling

@Plerb neat! I think I’ll maybe make that the only way to get to that secret and repurpose the switch for something else. The textures are kind of incomplete as a set (and also I didn’t really have a concept of a base-8 grid or any grid in mind when drawing them) but it was nice to give them a home somewhere. Would love to see what you could do with them :p

I support your decision to keep MAP31 as-is. I know not everyone will like that, but I can say for certain my overall map experience would have been worse if you made alterations. I'm even looking at stealing this concept for my own wad.

The culprit seems to be linedefs 113 and 125, which reveal the full arena. I think in my playthrough, I activated one of them, and then later once the ceiling had risen, I walked over the other, causing a portion of the ceiling (it looks like sector 6) to raise a second time and reveal in inner edge of sector 12.

Great presentation! I'm going in.

I like beans.

@Large Cat I'll keep it the way it is then.  Makes things more interesting that way and maybe adds more replay value to boot ;p I'll take a look at MAP15 again and see if there's a way to keep that from happening.

@Zesiir go nuts, or beans or whatever is the appropriate phrasing here.  Always appreciate your thoughtful reviews and such

Oh you've got me hooked. Map 4 is legit probably the best Nazi map I've played. I especially love that low visibility manc in the cage at the top of the stairs. You have to use audio cues to dodge his crap, which is doable largely because of a very intelligent midi choice. Top shelf stuff, looking forward to finishing it.

Hey buddy I love you but what do I have to do with this? lol

lol you played a few of the maps back when they were just a bundle of speedmaps, and I credited everyone who played any of them prior to release. Thanks again for the videos from like 3 years ago I think you enjoyed them if I recall right 

@TheLippyServer MAP04 was I think the second map and fulfilled my dream of unironically using the Wolf resources in a map. I enjoyed it enough there’s two other Wolfy maps in the set besides this one, will be curious which one you like most overall :p

 Oh ok that's a while ago I didn't remember lol
