Nope, there's only one RC1. No updates yet.

Thanks for the demos, btw.

It's an error in the MAPINFO. Not sure how far along you are but I can have the bugfix up later tonight.

Just downloaded RC2, I will be starting a playthrough on stream TONIGHT!

This map is fantastic with brilliant enemy encounters and fun semi-realism. But unfortunately it completely fumbles the ending by layering confusing puzzles upon confusing puzzles and completely ruined the flow of shooting hordes. Why does the player have to go around a different way to prevent the forcefield from re-blocking the yellow disk? That was really confusing to figure out and I did not feel smart when I eventually realized what I was supposed to do. I have zero ideas what to do about that red disk, I eventually got crushed raising a bridge trying to figure out what to do, and it was right at the end, so I didn't feel like beating the map because it burnt me out of it.
Next time you want to have some puzzle elements, I suggest to have them as secrets, or make a map more focused on that element, so it doesn't happen abruptly in the middle of the map.

Well this is definitely made by a programmer, judging by all these descriptively labeled switches that do some technical things to the gravity. heh.
So far the most adventurous map in the set, the non-linearity and the scale is so well executed here, and the gimmicks work perfectly.

Progression in this is confusing, I couldn't tell whether the keys were part of the main progression to the exit, or if they are a deviation to an optional path with goodies. Even after reaching the exit I should've already solved the map, but despite finding all the secrets and having all the keys, I was still unsure where to find the megasphere and the plasma gun/BFG, which would've been immensely helpful for the final battle against several commanders and pain elementals.
The combat in this is still very good despite not finding the aforementioned items. That's the strongest part of the map here.

So happy to see a barrel aficionado like me, the barrels can be used to circle around a pillar and get launched behind the enemies, and they can be used to get launched on top of enemies if you shoot them from one end, etc.
The lack of a SSG was a very welcome change and gave the other bigger weapons the limelight, and made the imminent cyber turrets last longer, making the hike up the mountain intense. Players not playing with a pistol start are missing on some awesome moments, I can easily imagine players sniping at the big turrets from a boring, safe distance with their 600 cells, 100 rockets and shells, 400 bullets arsenal from their entire playthrough.
The BFG didn't lose the map's steam either, almost completely repopulating the map and forcing to fight for space to move in a sunlust-ish slaughterfest fashion, which I'm surprised made it onto a DBP, knowing 40oz's target audience.
Thank you for not using the commanders here apart from the exit room, they would've been complete bullshit.

Dayum, not even a pump shotgun now? Getting hardcore over here! I like it! I've been personally somewhat burnt out of using the shotguns, and it seems like for these past two maps others have been feeling the same way. I say keep rocking that shotgunless map style, it keeps this game feeling fresh as hell.
Anyways, a delicious designed arenas map, with more exquisite barrel placement, and great ammo balance; cells and rockets weren't overly abundant, and made me think more carefully about how I spend them and what my movement options become.

Thanks for playing and for the demo joe-ilya ! Was a fun watch!

I have it on sched to (hopefully) finish up the playthrough tomorrow night!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the bug report, I'll get that fixed in the next RC. Same for the HOM kupo reported, I'll look into that as well.

My room in crew quarters decorated with literally nothing was a huge lol

The secret with the rocket ammo behind the starting area is supposed to have a rocket launcher but I completely forgot to add it in.

Any ETA?

we're so back
