10 Years of Doomer Boards (Map-set proposal)

10 years of doomer boards is something worth celebrating but it would be cool if we could do something other than mapping. I'm not sure if there's much capacity left to manage a second concurrent project with the already ongoing doomer boards projects that come out every other month.

This is a fantastic idea, and a deadline of a full year is perfect, people can really take their time with the maps. Unfortunately, if 40oz ends up being the project leader, there's no way for me to participate.

Tangra did 40oz forbid you from entering projects or is this an I'm not going to your birthday party type thing?

Probably the latter, given their previous interactions.

Why are you still a member of his forum? Is the off-topic subforum this good to pass up?

If we keep our current pace we should be releasing DBP73 the month of the 10th anniversary. We should definitely do something to celebrate, not sure what though. A project could be cool but if the goal is to start in August, we'll have to figure something out sooner than later to get a resource pack out for the project. The 10th anniversary project might clash a bit with the DBPs but if it's a year long project, maybe there'll be enough time for people to do both?

40oz isn't a Doomworld puppet, he's simply a left-wing guy that sometimes gets bent out of shape at some of the right-wing stuff that gets posted on this site, the same way some right-wing guys get bent out of shape at some of the left-wing stuff 40oz posts.

For what it's worth, 40oz takes Doom mapping very seriously and I don't think he would bring any sort of grudge or dislike of you into a potential mapping project.

Considering the anniversary month is a DBP month, imo the simplest solution would be to make it an anniversary DBP, instead of a separate project.

A random idea could be making it a "best of themes" DBP, a la Tomatomania. Would be laborious to compile resources, but there is a whole year ahead, so.

@tangra I partially feel you (and 40oz), but at the same time one of the few redeeming graces of DB over DW is how well it separates mapping stuff from the rest.

Getting this defensive over a simple question? Sheesh...
Anyway, I'm as critical of 40oz now as I was then, I'm not sure what makes you think I'm kissing up to the boss, can you quote me from somewhere since my unban?
"Checking Doomworld regularly" last time I checked was 2 months ago, and that was only because I didn't delete my cookies and forgot to open Doomworld in Incognito mode when clicking an external link for a thread I was interested in reading.
Besides that, I've been unbanned several times before, it's not off the table, I've said this before.
Doomer Boards was also checked on rare occasions because I've seen some funny discussion about me, and that unbelievable thread fantasizing on what terms they'd unban me.

I'm still a member here because of the DBPs, I don't care if 40oz treated me and my Discord server as the sole source of all evil in this forum, I'm going to map regardless. But if you aren't then what's left to do here except politics?

Also, some food for thought, regarding the project.

What if someone complied all of the custom textures, sprites, etc from the previous DBPs, and we used that strictly to create new maps (If that is what we do)?

This is what I whipped up after about an hour yesterday, it is inspired by the Cave section I mapped for the Friday the 13th mod.

I am doing it in DBP-style (Limit-removing i.e. UDMF) for Doom 2

I don't have any custom textures yet.
