Firstly: I apologize for cross-posting this, since this project started as a Doomworld thread. I was recently made aware of Doomer Boards, so I wanted to expand our reach to this forum considering that we're still looking for 7 mapslots to fill.
If you want to help us out, please send me a private message! We have a Discord server where we discuss this mod and our progress privately, and I will share an invite link with anybody willing to make a map for the project.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

The concept behind this project is to make a full 32 map MegaWAD inspired by Quake. Thankfully, we have Urthar, the creator of Dimension of the Boomed to help us out in regards to resources.
Therefore, we're using largely the same textures and item/monster replacements. See it as a community made expansion to Dimension of the Boomed!

We've laid out a bunch of rules for the project. They are always up for change, but they are currently as follows:
- Boom compatibility (test with PrBoom+ to be sure)
- Boom compatibility (test with PrBoom+ to be sure)
- Make sure your level theme is consistent and in adherence to those found in Quake 1's singleplayer campaign.
If you're confused, check out this link: quake.fandom.com/wiki/Level_Theme
- No slaughter maps (it wouldn't feel right in a Quake setting!)
- Make sure you incorporate the different custom actors provided in the resource WAD in an interesting way.
- Make sure your map somewhat adheres to the length of an average Quake level.
While there's no "hard" rule for map size, I think it's fair to say that a single map shouldn't take an hour to beat.
- Please incorporate a Quake-style teleporter or portal at the start and exit of your map, to make the transition between maps more seamless and Quake-like.
- Try and provide a name for your level that fits the Lovecraftian atmosphere of Quake 1
- Please keep everybody up to date in this topic! That includes posting your map when you think it's complete;
You can use MediaFire to upload your WAD so that we can play-test it and help fix any bugs or design flaws we come across.
- We're not in a rush, but please try to finish your map(s) within the next 6 months as of the creation of this topic.
