DBP28: Fear and Loathing

Wasn't expecting the Latin but I guess that's how it is when most of the information of a public project is in private. I'll go ahead and play this right now while sleep deprived.

Okay I had to skip over my map because I couldn't bear the silly music playing over it (using GZDoom). I intended for there to be no music and I was hoping I wouldn't have to make it clear that I wanted the map to have a nothing.mid though I've made this same mistake time and time again.

@mantistoboggan Please change the music of my map back to deafening silence. It ruins the atmosphere and violates my intended vision.

You are not the intended audience of my map.

You two keep this up, and I'll fill the map with gorilla .pngs!

We live in a society. 

MAP01: Pretty nice.
MAP02: A very welcome change of pace from the usual maps of Glenzinho.
MAP03: Short and sweet.
MAP04: Hello darkness my old friend.
MAP05: Actually my favorite map here. Good stuff.
MAP06: Pretty cool.
MAP07: I spent about half the time in this map wandering around. Also this switch doesn't light up upon activation for me I also couldn't find a way to leave the map after killing all of the guardians and shooting all the glowing red eyes in sight. I ended up noclipping to finish. I would also appreciate some health at the end for continuous play since I had to start the next map with about 10 HP. A very cool boss arena though.
MAP08: Also kind of maze-like but easier to tell which way to go. Neat and the pincer attack of the guardians was a surprise. Could have also used some ending health perhaps but oh well.
MAP09: I ran out of rockets shooting at the imps that infinite respawn before realizing I had to do an icon of sin maneuver. Also found an archvile in the lava I don't know if that was intended or not but it upset my rhythm.
MAP10: Was expecting more names but I guess that's it.

Good project good work. Nice.

FDAs (recorded with Crispy) : doomshack.org/uploads/dbp28FDAjoe.lmp.zip

MAP01 : A nice atmospheric and monsterless map, the shotgun made me think there would be some, but there were none, I suggest it be replaced with some armor and health bonuses, as it makes MAP02 not play as intended with the pistol.

MAP02 : Fascinating storytelling, love the "to hell and back" corruption going on, the one-way doors added a nice challenge and the fights are solid.

MAP03 : The sky floor that supercupcaketactics mentioned is here because the floor texture is missing, but the texture existed in the V3 resource pack, so put it back in the pack.

MAP04 : Despite being a Doom 3 themed map, it still feels like cuppy's because of the strange progression.
The map is too dark even with the flashlight on, the floors and the walls are still pitch black and I keep bumping into walls and falling into that forsaken nukage pit.

MAP05 : My FDA got wiped by an electrical outage, but I only managed to get halfway through, so the one in the zip is not an FDA for the first half, but the latter half of the map is played blind.
It's a repurposed test map, but that area is too cramped with the 64 unit wide halls.
The rest of the map was much better, felt a lot like a Tim Willits map, with all these rooms have various ways to approach them and progress, I like how the map gives you all the weapons (except for the chainsaw, though it may be in a secret that I missed.
There was a barrel that was stuck in a wall, which prevented some sectors to move around properly and in turn revealed some ugly HOMs.

MAP06 : A nice and solid map, but the green-lit switches made me think I already used them, so I ran around the map until I finally figured out what I was missing.
I think this should be swapped with MAP05, as MAP05 is much harder and bigger.

MAP07 : A big ol' map, the big fights were very good climaxes for this map, well done. The little fights before were also just as good.

MAP08 : Too cramped IMO, even Doom 3 isn't that claustrophobic.

MAP09 : I guess that's why the shotgun was there in MAP01? Still doesn't change anything, because the map is focused on the big guns and gives you the SSG immediately as you get into the non-MAP01 territory, I still think it should be replaced with some armor and health bonuses.
Excellent arena design, no complaints. Maybe a few more arch-viles, to make them not too trivializable with the BFG.

MAP10 : A credits map with no credits, please put the individual names of each person.

Favorite map : MAP05
Least favorite map : MAP08, sorry gaspe.

Yeah I aimed to have it dark enough that the flashlight wouldn't show too much yet still provide an ample light, though I admit I probably play on a brighter screen (my default gamma setting is usually 1.2). I want you to switch between the base flashlight and the guns, though that becomes more important once you enter that server CPU hub. The nukage pits are there to punish reckless running along with the hallway at the start exist to force the gameplay to slow down and make the player play by my rules mwahahahaha. So overall I think it comes down to either loving or hating it like the real Doom 3 I suppose.


Please no 

Good work everyone, and Scrang most of all! A couple of things I noticed so far:

-- the urns seem to be fullbright (they really pop out in that warp tunnel in MAP01)
-- MAP03 crashes my GZDoom (4.1.3)
-- obituaries haven't been changed, at least you still get "met a Nazi"

Nice
