Mutiny Mission Pack

Well ain't this sexy! Looking forward to seeing more of this, I enjoyed the fuck out of the first 16 maps of Mutiny. I can already tell by the screens that this is going to be tremendous, don't let me down you glorious cunts 🍻

I second this post.  TIYG is awesome.

Do it deathevo, I'll need something to play after memfis' map when I get back to a land down under next week.

Whoa, sick map! I don't remember seeing this one! Thanks guys, this is a perfect addition to the pack

Here's some screenshots for those just browsing.

Damn, please do! Would love to see my name beside yours and JCD's. :)

If any of you are interested in mapping, but not for any major commitment, i'd like to pitch a map idea -- the map would be some sort of central hub with 4 teleport gates. You have to go through each of three teleports to get each individual key, then the fourth teleport takes you to an exit room where you need all three keys to exit. Very similar to the hub style of Quadruple Threat or MAP02 of Operation BIOWAR.

1. You can make a very small map
2. You have the freedom to work on a part of a map without other mappers interfering with your work
3. It won't take very much time
4. It doesn't have to be thematically consistent with the rest of the map.

I'll get started on the opening hub so you guys can have a look. You can you work on your own map in a separate file. Make sure your map has a keycard in it and that you can exit through a teleport pad. I'll simply replace the player start with a teleport destination, and the exit lines with teleport lines back to the hub.

Thanks for the the interest, nv! It looks great from that screenshot! I'll have a look at it this weekend. It looks simple enough to work with which is a good sign. Thanks for the donation!!

MAP20: Gotcha! sounds a lot like what I had in mind. I can definitely keep it in that spirit. I might need a few days, but I'll draft up some options that I think the map could benefit with and keep you in the loop before I go gung-ho on finishing it

Whoa, that's so weird. One of the first maps I ever tried to make was a city map to play deathmatch in with bots. It looked almost exactly like that but with E1 textures instead.

I really like the looks of it! A fun non linear MAP13 Downtown remake with cybertech textures seems really cool.

This is taking too long isn't it? I've been hopeful that I'd get more map donations, because I get concerned that people would get bored of playing too many of my maps in a row. But I have a bunch of WIPs that I can finish up and fill in the remaining slots if that means people will get an actual release at some point. Turn in Your Grave by valkiriforce and deathevokation is awesome, and noisyvelvet's WIP is kickass too. I could make some quick tiny maps to finish things up.

If anyone's interested, I was thinking of making a hub map similar to MAP02 from biowar.wad, where there's central hub with 4 teleport gates, where one is the exit door that requires all three keys, and the other three teleports take you to one of the three keys. All I would need is three people to each make a tiny bite size map where you start on a 64x64 teleport gate, do some stuff and kill some monsters to get a key, and have a way back to the gate. I could just cut and paste the thing right into my hub map.

Yeah its unrealistic to be an adult and ultra-productive in the Doom universe all the time. I've heard a lot of people run into a similar problem you're having where they have too many ideas and not enough space in a map to incorporate all of them.

My earliest attempts at mapping was for some basic deathmatch maps for me to play against bots (they were terrible.) Then after playing Alien Vendetta and Kama Sutra I decided I wanted to make a megawad and I got about 3 maps into it before I started running out of inspiration. My first couple actual releases were called "Play When Bored" because I was sick of all the time I was spending on mapping and not getting anything done, so I set my bar pretty low and made something very short and simple that was well below what I believed I was capable of, but I just wanted release something. When I started getting feedback it gave me lots of ideas for new maps to make and what skills to work on, and then I continued making more small maps until I eventually devoted my attention to bigger and better projects until I got where I am now. The kind of people who almost never release anything but magically show up out of nowhere with a giant amazing map or a one-man-megawad make no sense to me. They must be wizards or something.

Once people start recording demos, posting screenshots, and making direct comments on something you made, telling you what's good and what you should work on, it's super rewarding! I would highly recommend starting with something really small and basic. Aim below what you believe is your best work, because it's likely that someone will see a lot more potential in it than you do. I got some fans of my work pretty early on; long before I was capable of making the kind of maps I make today. That really gave me to motivation to continue.

I think you should probably toss the thought of trying to get all of your ideas into one map and think about simplifying them and breaking them apart so you can use each one on a variety of small individual maps. If you're not sure you're on the right track, just post some screenshots and whatever you're not sure you are doing right in Mapper's Workshop, maybe we can help you figure out what to stay focused on
