PROJECT INTRODUCTION
------------------
I'm reaching out to Doomer Boards because it's been demonstrated that this community has a lot of great mappers who work well in community projects. It's also rare that the mappers here get an opportunity to map for multiplayer projects. I'm hoping some of you will read the below and be interested in joining the project.
Vesper is one of the first mods of its kind. Created by Xaser, Vesper is a shiny new weapon mod for MBF21, showcasing a full arsenal of high-tech & demonic weaponry that'll make you say "I can't believe it's not GZDoom!" Built using pure DEHACKED [DEHEXTRA + MBF21], with a little help from DoomTools, it doubles as both a feature demonstration and a standalone weapon pack. Blast 'em away with plasma shotguns, acid grenades, and heat-seeking blood sprayers!
The Vesper Community DM pack will be the first ever MBF21 community deathmatch pack. MBF21 is a new and growing standard supported by only a handful of source ports - in fact, not even GZDoom fully supports it yet! For this mapping event, Odamex will be used to playtest the wad. A server will be configured and revisions of the wad will be uploaded regularly for testing. Ultimate Doom Builder is the recommended mapping tool.
We want to produce high quality maps in this pack, but don't worry about the map being perfect. Work on a layout, receive feedback, and everyone can work together to polish their maps for the final product.
