The Community Project Tracker

Really neat thread, thanks for making it! I remember that it was made a similar thread some year ago...

You called?

Perfect, even better. Didn't expect this so soon, but this will make things more convenient for everyone. Cheers!

This'll be good for newcomer mappers to get their foot in the door. I've seen a few threads in the past asking for available projects like this, and this makes it much easier to find available slots.

That is a great thread to have! I am currently leading a community project, could you please add it to the list? [WIP] BirminDoom - GZDoom community project for mappers of all levels!

Literally thank you SO MUCH for this

Wow great idea! Hope you can maintain it too!

Doomworld Mega Project 2023: Professional Mapper Edition

[DOOM2 BOOM]
(Open Submissions) [Status: Ongoing] [Deadline: 1st Nov 2023]

Happy to announce that BirminDoom is no longer accepting submissions. Currently we are in the stage of finishing current maps and improving the project in general:)

Announcing Limit Buffet: a project about mapping and composing under strict limitations:

I just announced Doom 64: The Way We Remember It (or Doom 64 Recreated From Memory if you will). Here's the link.

Heya, I just started a project about the joy of being greeted by MAP02 after finishing a single-map PWAD.

Gonna leave this here, thank you for this little thread.

@quakis

BirminDoom v1.0 is out!
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/133261-released-birmindoom-10-map-gzdoom-community-project/

@quakis What is health? RC1 out now with a massive update to RC2 coming today/tomorrow
 

btw thanks so much for this thread, it's insanely useful.

Just a small update regarding some minor changes I'll be making to the Tracker I'd like to highlight via a new post. I'm always seeking to make improvements to the presentation of information on the Tracker itself without causing clutter or redundency as best I can.

One recent addition to entries are project start dates based on their topic creation and last edited opening/map listing post date. This is mostly for my own purposes but thought it might be useful info for others too.

Project "Status"
So far the "Status" section for each entry had a lot of redundant information since the majority of projects listed here should typically be active, all looking for mappers and waiting for their submissions. It goes without saying really and have removed those types of details.

I've decided to make changes to primarily focus on actual project status updates (where applicable, of course) such as but not limited to; mention of beta releases, completed map progress if available (ex: 10 out of 32 completed maps), any special case updates like inactivity, leadership changes or specific requests like composers.

In regards to activity, at most I'll be adding a simple (Active) tag to all projects which can later be swapped with an Inactive and Closed status. The "Inactive" status itself will now be added to projects that have gone beyond their deadline with no recent updates from the project starter.

Completed Projects
The original plan was to remove released projects from the tracker, but I've considered highlighting community projects making their big release at the bottom of the list with a link to their release threads. These will probably linger for between one or two weeks. This improves the natural flow of a project entry on the Tracker itself moving from: in progression > fulfilled > closed > to final release.

I'd encourage anyone to post here if there's still something useful missing from the Tracker or have additional quality of life suggestions, so long as it isn't providing redundant information or a becomes nightmare to keep track of. Let me know and I'll consider it.

Cheers!

Keeping track of multiple active community projects for their current status or looking to join one with mapslots available isn't as simple as it could be, especially as threads are pushed further down, lost within the pages and aren't being seen by potential participants. So this thread exists. See guidelines beneath the active tracking list for more information. Topic pinned, thanks to Obsidian!

 

^{Updated list format on Apr 15th 2023: Added topic Started/Edited dates and changed how "Status" entries will be utilised. See my latest post.}

========================================

^{Updated details below on Apr 15th 2023: Adjusted guidelines regarding entry updates and inactive projects}

 

Details for the Community Project Tracker:

The aim is the keep this topic updated frequently within reason to be a useful reference focusing on community projects and events seeking participants. I'll also be keeping strict guidelines for my own sanity since this could easily become a headache otherwise if I don't. These guidelines may be added to or updated over this thread's lifetime and the tracking list may change formatting for simplified ease of reference. As I cannot be kept up to date on every single project 24/7, there will likely be some delays to updating the tracker and I may also need some assistance keeping on top of things as things do slip under the radar after all.

 

Additions to the list can include, but not limited to: Map Submission Community Projects, Speedmapping Events, Mapping Contests and Music/MIDI Composition Projects.

 

See spoiler for more detailed information;

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Current list template:

The list itself will be sorted by deadlines in ascending order.

• project title + link
  date started | last edit date
  • IWAD and map format
    • map slots
    • [deadline]
    • current status

 

General Guidelines for project additions/updates:

• New or currently active projects must have clear project guidelines with an intended IWAD, mapping format, mapslots availability / submission details and any aimed deadlines.
  • IMPORTANT - Please refer to this stickied thread: [How and when to host a Community Project]
• Discord channels: Projects where progress is primarily updated via Discord channels are encouraged to update their topics occasionally, or their progress status on the tracker may not be accurate
  • I will not be keeping track of Discord channels, sorry.
• 48 Hour or shorter timed/speedmapping events should provide prior notice in advance to be promptly added to the list, preferably by an announcement thread before the event's start time that can then be linked to.
• When the community project's mapslots have been fulfilled, its status will change to reflect this and remain listed until the project's release for convenience of submissions and in the event a mapslot may reopen at a later time.
  • Projects with fulfilled mapping slots will be repositioned to the fulfilled section, to keep eyes on projects still seeking participants.
• Projects with open submissions and/or no map count limitations will remain where they are positioned until they have been closed.
• Upon release of the completed project, it's entry will moved to the released section for around week or so as a highlight for their completion.
• If a project deadline has passed and hasn't received any recent status updates, it's status will change to (Inactive) and I may prompt for status updates.
  • Projects with no deadlines set and inactive threads will be prompted for a status update after some time
  • Further additional inactivity may have their listing dropped depending on the circumstances. Get in touch if the situation changes.

How you can help:

•     If your community project or event isn't listed here and it adheres to the guidelines above, feel free to @ me once in the project thread or simply post here.
•     If the status of the project or event changes and hasn't been updated here for several days, feel free to get in touch or simply post here.
•     Keep you opening post up to date as often as possible, this is the simplest method to ease tracker accuracy.
•     Please have patience, thank you!

 

 

This year's MAYhem is officially live!
 

PUSS 26 has just released a beta

@quakis, can you change that Wolfhound is vanilla only and not limit removing, please

Made the change, I assume that the project had recently focused on being vanilla only? The thread's opening post suggested that maps should either be vanilla or limit removing so I initially just chose the latter for this list. Cheers for the correction.

Been going at this for half a year now, so it's about time Doomguy upgraded from tatty parchment to a sturdy clipboard and have updated the banner. I've also made some further changes to the listing format again which I've noted below:

• Moved the "Speedmapping Events" section to the top of the tracker to be more visible due to their shorter timeframes.
• Included an "Inactive Project" subsection so I easily can keep track of those separately after doing a status roundup and having no response. I must stress I want this tracker to be focused on actively in-deveploment projects looking for help, so listings here may eventually be dropped if I cannot ascertain the status of the project. There's no harm re-adding an entry at a later date should activity return.
• "Closed Projects" are now listed under their own header due to the excess amount of them. These will continue to remain here until their eventual release day.
• The "Released Project" section has been adjusted due to the initial bulkiness, instead manually listing them as simple links with release dates. I'm still uncertain how I want this section to look exactly so I may make additional changes or revert back to the old method.
• Included some additional icons to help visibly see which projects need musicians and/or artists. These icons may later change to fit their designation if I can figure something else out: [Musicians Wanted!] and [Artists Wanted!]

Because we're halfway into 2023 and I don't want to bump too many topics at once, across this month I'll be sending out PMs to project leads for any projects listed in the tracker that haven't seen recent activity in their threads and have long past their initial/extended deadlines to determine what their current status is.

Cheers!

@quakis Can you add my project into tracker, please? And add icon that indicates that wad is in need of musicians

Edit: Thanks a lot!

Second Edit: I have failed miserably lol
