quick question, would it be possible to add in this texture pack from realm 667?

Just got some interesting stuff in there that would be cool to try out. 

Go right ahead.

sure thing, dude.

Is it cool if I claim MAP11? Slightly hesitant because I've never submitted a map before

It's cool, just follow the guidelines & be open to feedback.
Anyways, you got the slot.

Okay so, made a start on map 30 and just wanted to post to see if it looks hellish enough :P 

 

I've only made the starting areas, but I'm thinking maybe the player keeps hitting switches and lowering things, expanding the map until finally it is revealed that your actually on top of a giant tower surrounded by hellscape. Just an idea. Also, the sky in game is FIREWALL and its animated :D

Hope you like the visuals so far :)

This is beautiful. Wish I could be as good with visuals.

Yep, I'll count it in, looks great, too. I feel bad for the guy who has map29, though.

Cool :) couldnt use that texture pack cause it messed up some textures in the other texture pack.

Because he somehow has to bridge the gap between the two maps, the map28 guy showed me his map and it is sooooo different from the one you're making.

[dmh094]

Well, I can make my entrance room his exit room? If that would be make it easier :)

Just let the map29 guy work his magic. Trust in others.

I've returned to MAP12 and now I just added the first key card.

Can I take Map08? (Also, Episode 2 takes place in futuristic tech bases, right? So primarily indoors?)

Doesn't nessecarily have to be indoors, no.

 

Anyways, sure... You can have the eighth slot.

[NotDeadYet]

Yo, could I switch to Map 3? Having some real trouble with the style of my selected level.

Hey, @Garland and @EPICALLL. Heres what I have of Map 8 so far. It's kind of a futuristic facility in the mountains (tried not to make it too gritty, but rather sort of an abandoned feel). I'm just trying to make sure that this design currently works before I get too far into developing it. I'm also trying to incorporate a clean transition from Map 7 to Map 8 with the toxic sludge-water in the facility but I'm not exactly sure if the "water treatment facility" is underground, ground level, or if its unclear. I'm going to assume its unclear but if it's not you can let me know so I can change some things up. The map is in a very stage right now so just be sure to let me know if there's anything that should be changed. Just in-case, im also going to note the map also has an arch-vile, a mancubus, and a couple of pain elementals (spread apart). Not sure if thats "too hard" but I figured since it was map 8 these things were probably ok to add (especially since it was mentioned the wad was meant to lean towards the harder side). I'm pretty sure its not a problem though, just thought to bring it up.

Needs more Revenants. (But seriously I think it's looking good so far)

Don't worry, there's quite a few revenants too lol. I'll definitely continue working to make this map even better though, its still in a pretty early stage (I just started on it last night).

[DeafPixel]

Welp, progress on the map so far.
It might be way too big looking at some of the other maps that have been uploaded thus far... lol.

This whole section was meant to be a small cave before the "actual" level starts... I got slightly carried away.
Sidenote: Don't try making caves in Doom, they are the devil

Underground? That depends. If there's a clear sense of distance between the surface and the underground, it would definitely be underground, but right now it's looking more ground level.

Don't forget to conjoin with the previous map!

I put a big random black void door at the start, I thought since the last map was meant to end with a time machine I could do whatever

Yeah, but this is supposed to be an introduction to the future, wouldn't it be maybe a little bit nice to have some spectacle? A true first look at the future instead of "yep, it's the future, whatever." You know what I'm saying? Maybe have the player start in the time machine, and then step out into the super-futuristic world, with style. Some grandeur would go a long way.

[NecrumWarrior]

I plan on having my map end with the time machine stabilizing on a view of the start of the next level so I don't think we need to have anything represented on the other side. The time portal should be closing after travel anyway. 

[DeafPixel]

The previous idea wasn't doing it for me. Enjoy these retooled combat arenas. I'll try to make a cool outdoor section with a nice first view next. Fuck realism, abstraction = gaming.
