@Oxyde - E3M2 has been claimed, I can put you down for E3M6?

Sure thing, let's go ahead!

I'm happy to see a new 1K lines project! It's a fun format to map in. I'd like to take E4M3.

And if I could get E4M4, that would be swell.

ok, I want E1M8

@DukeOfDoom, @DeetOpianSky, @Oxyde, @Lord_Z, @Dreadopp, @RED77 - added!

Can I have E2M7?

I could try E3M7

@Windy, @Scionox added!

Sure, why not.. I think can handle another community project (?) haha. I'd like E2M6, please. Probably won't be able to start until next month though.

@stochastic added!

May I take E4M6? I'd love to try out another limited project!

I'll grab E2M8.

Might also make some graphics for this but I can't promise anything.

Could I take e2m9?

May i take E4M5?

@Scorpius, @Blast_Brothers, @Hayden49, @fishy added!

Two slots remain!

E4M7, please.

I would also like e4m8 please.

@dac added, and @Hayden49 added again. That's all slots taken now, have a great mapping session everyone!

Started my E1M7 submission, and this constraint is going to be interesting. Apparently I use a lot of lines. Drew up a few basic areas and I've already used 25% of my line budget...

I love doing E1-style maps. It might be one of my favorite things to do as a mapper. Tech pillars and STARTAN everywhere!

Hey, I have a doubt before start working on my map.

Quote

You may use non-E1 enemies if you wish, though I suggest they are introduced around E1M5/E1M6.

I have E1M8 which is the closer for this episode.

Does the quote above refers also to BOSS enemies? barons / cyber-demon / mastermind

And, how about the weapons? Plasma Gun and BFG should be considered for this first episode?

I just thought... If it's limit removing, What is going to do be the deal with the E4 midis? iirc the e4 maps use midis from specific other maps. (or am I not knowing there's a way to have new midis play on e4 already?)

Good question, no restriction on weapons but I'd consider having the BFG as a secret if you want to include it, its your choice though. If you want to use a Cyber or Mastermind in E1M8 as well as Barons, then go ahead! It should be more difficult than the original E1M8, I think.

Crispy Doom supports using custom midis in the D_E4Mx slots, and UMAPINFO will handle other ports incase they don't, so no worries!

Really? I didn't knew that!

To be honest, neither did I until today xD I thought I'd screwed up but I found this comment:

Checked myself just to confirm and it works!

Started on E3M5! I also started E4M9 but not too ready to show off anything yet. This is definitely going to be an interesting little roundabout level for me to make...

This project is infuriatingly difficult to me. I love it!

I tend to always overdetail things, I have made a concept that I like enough but I'm currently sitting at ~600 lines and far from done.

Then I decided to restart and retry at something more compact, while respecting more the idea of the void rather than your typical Hell stuff. I have some cool ideas here that I like, but again I'm sitting at ~450 lines with only 3 rooms done...

I'm gonna have to restart again and focus on more practical map design and let detailing be a dream rather than a fact.

Also, I'm really used to Doom 2's texture set, and Ultimate Doom is lacking a lot of stuff I use frequently so I need to readjust on that. Leaving your comfort zone sur is tough!

How does this look? This is going to be my first full map so I would like some advice.
