Did my boi Norb produce any map(s) for HFII ? He was the author behind map13 "The Abyss" in the 1st Hardfest. I just can't find his name in the list

This look simply stunning. The textures are very diverse yet there's still coherency there. You can be proud of the production quality here :)

so glad I limit my caffeine intake

Yes I am. Thank you all for your positive replies

Thanks :)

Greetings :) I present to you all a Vanilla Doom ii wad that is also universally compat. It features 2 new maps that are compact in layout and quite challenging on UV. Theming is blending Hell and Tech together. I tried my best as the solo mapper to keep visuals cohesive and transitions smooth. Critique is welcomed on where I can improve, esp on gameplay Thanks to Doomkid for helping me name the maps for Vanilla based ports. For those who would like to learn , check this quick tut on YouTube. I can't URL it here , but the vid is titled: Change Map Name in DOOM, Quick Tutorial - YouTube *2 maps in total. 1st map is short, 2nd medium length *Playtested in Crispy Doom 6.0 + GZDoom 4.10 (I didn't locate bugs or softlocks, report if you find any) *Jumping + crouching is discouraged , but feel free if It's a preference Lastly , some screenies Twisted Tech.7z

The physical version looks really impressive! I'll download and can't wait for the full release of this wad! Made my day :)

I agree things got better as the map progressed. Perhaps lacklustre after the initial fight. (As you stated the start was lacking excitement) The Arachnotron room with the hitscanner wins may have been the most engaging combat wise. GG

I'm trying my best to produce for Doomworld but lots of ppl who used to share with me have since vanished from my posts. There was one incident where I should never have pm but show patience and humility. I still feel bad about it. I just feel like I don't belong or deserve my place on Doomworld anymore. :( I was so enthusiastic about returning But still feel exactly the same. Perhaps It's my Autism. I joined here simply with the desire to spread joy and learn , but it seems like no matter what I try , it just isn't working. Help?

So sorry for your loss. Time is the best healer, may it grant you healing brother 🙏

Having played thru this map I can finally comment. The difficulty surprised me! I had to fight for each weapon + the room with crushers & poison required some careful movement to avoid revenants ruining the party. Some nasty ambushes with hitscanners at times in close quarter combat. It made the red key teleport near the end brutal even though I started firing with my plasma to stunlock enemies, esp those pesky revs and Pain elementals. The Caco cloud can get overwhelming if you can't keep them together in a pack. The frustration here is when they fly away to the point I can't lock onto them. The sniping Arachno is easy to forget if the player isn't aware. It's still probably my fav part for It's open ended gameplay. The viles at the end have a very low pain chance so I couldn't stop all of them crossing. Though I isolated one and took him out with the rocket , I had to hunt the other 2 down. 1 critique I'd give would be give more health. The soulpshere for the caco fight was a big help. But some fights are starved of health which some players won't like. Just a heads up. Overall your style would be good in a wad like Hardfest. That's a cool wad if you haven't tried, I highly recommend. Keep at it!

The crusher got me good after grabbing the red key 😅 This map took me back to the days of playing PS Doom back in the late 90s. Good stuff :)

Thank you , but Bumping into an old thread isn't cool. The small dispute has long been forgotten by both me and the user. I returned to Doomworld for a fresh start...so I kindly ask no more bumps as ppl want to see new content posted. Also read the rules about bumping in threads before disturbing anyone else's. I'm speaking here as a friend to think before posting. Peace

After recently revisiting the Scythe series (particularly Scythe ii) I felt compelled to design my own castle in UDB, and friends on Discord said I should try it. I also wanted to revert back to Vanilla limits again after mapping in udmf. How I succeed in these limitations, I'll allow you to be the judge :) Some custom resources are used to fit thematically and give a unique identity, inc custom things + textures. Tested in Crispy Doom 6.0.0. Zdoom 2.8.1 / GZDoom 4.10.0 also work fine. Screenies: Castlemania.7z
