Greetings mortals!
Hardfest 2 is a community project for boom-compatible source ports that is focused on "hard maps" of any style, this time with a yellow theme! Featuring maps by 24 designers, there is a wide variety on offer, including large macroslaughter maps, tiny and precise combat puzzles, quiet exploration heavy maps & platforming maps.
Unlike it's predecessor, Hardfest 2 has a couple of custom enemies and a custom weapon:
Arachnorb - 150HP
These fuckers love flying around, shooting plasma at you and generally getting in the way. (N.B. They don't spawn from arachnotrons when they die, don't worry lol)
Baby Cyber - 1000HP
It's a cyberdemon, with less health. Wowee. Spider Mastermind enthusiasts should not fear, as it still exists without it's splash damage immunity.
Infinite Rocket Launcher (replacing the chainsaw)
Have you played NoSp2? If so, it's that. If not, think about a rocket launcher that fires twice as fast as normal and never runs out of ammo. Sounds great right?

Hardfest 2's soundtrack was composed by Korp, LPad, Ravendesk, Scorpius & Thelokk, and features 30 songs at the time of release! As a completely unbiased source, it's absolutely amazing - there will be a soundtrack video linked here once it's completed!
My sincere thanks to LPad for organizing the soundtrack behind the scenes!
Maps: 01-40 (with a credits map)
Difficulties: Yes
Co-op/DM Starts: Co-op should be present in maps, but it is untested. Some maps have deathmatch starts for reasons I cannot fathom.
Format: Boom (-cl 9)
Tested With: dsdadoom v0.26.2, Woof v12.0.0 (NOTE: A UMAPINFO supporting port is required!)
Thank you to Korp and Christophine Place for creating the lovely art that is used in the wad!
Full credits for textures, graphics, playtesting and music can be found in hardfest2.txt
