oh also sense we probably wanna explain the story in game should I be making a text scroll at the beginning of the episode or will someone else handle that? 

I'll handle the text scrolls, as I don't want to say... have two different people make a text scroll, because I can only use one.

Figure I should ask this now - what's the level of detailing that's expected of us for our maps?

As long as your map looks better than anything you'd find in the IWADs, I'll give it a pass.

I just remembered that the boss triggers are on 07 :)

Can I switch slots lol

Just because a map slot has hardcoded boss actions doesn't mean you have to use them. I'm frankly tired of mappers replicating the MAP07 gimmick anyway, it's been done to death and lost any and all fun a long time ago.

07 is also in the episode that has the theme that I am most comfortable making other then maybe hell levels. If I am allowed I will probably take another slot in a hell level.

once you finish up your map, you may

Okay, @EPICALLL, I made text screen music. Not sure how we'll use text screens in this project, but I'm sure we'll figure it out later this year.

Sounds more like title screen music, really good song though.

it doesn't really sound like title or intermission music. It sounds a lot more like level music than anything else. It's simply too progressive to really fit either of those monikers.

I made it to sound like the README screens, like the ones when transition to MAP06 to 07, or switching from episode to another, if we're ever to use those screens anyway.

we will, and that is what i meant by intermission music, I'm saying it doesn't really fit.
I should have said this earlier, but I'm looking for more (yet not entirely) synth-heavy music, seeing as like the entire wad takes place at some point in the future.

Okay, I misunderstood you for the music between levels. If you want, I could edit the thing, keeping the same general ideas for notes but changing the instruments, or I could scrap the whole piece and start again. Whatever you think is better. :)

Okay, editing it is!

Okay, @EPICALLL, I think I helped the song fit the mood much better this time. I'll work on the title and intermission if this is satisfactory so far.

yep.

@EPICALLL, sorry for pinging you so frequently, but I made this MIDI for the title. Lemme know what you think. It's almost 3:00 AM where I am, so take it with a bit of salt.

If you're going to have it end like that, extend it by five or so minutes, so that way it doesn't loop.

Title screen music loops?? I didn't know that. Do i just add some random quiet note fore like 5 minutes?

Done. Also added some extra stuff, and probably made it twice as long as I should've, but that's fine...

aight, that works!

@NullTheShadow Could you tell me how Map 28 will end? I wanna make Map 29 connect to Map 28 a bit at the start.

still working on that bit so I'm not sure yet.

Alright Ill hold off a bit until you've got an idea of what it is
