I am getting a bit of a geek-crush on the smoothly spoken Englishman that is DAZ with his insightful and thought-provoking series of derping around missing all the secrets and even items that are right in front of him errrr I mean talking about mapping while playing cool levels. So I thought his channel was worth it's own seperate thread - entertaining for players and mapping veterans, and potentially very useful for newer mappers as DAZ does offer some really good views on mapping theory. Also DAZ go ahead and put all your updates in here.

The first void space HIPDM1 map was in the Quake expansion pack "Scourge of Armagon" in 1997 developed by Richard 'Levelord' Gray .

I am a bit disappointed that Daz does not know about Levelord as he was the inspiration for many "popular" map styles.

like maps with penises in them

@Lunaran, Yes Levelord did a crazy p0rn map called Assault but this is not the sum total of his work. He also did the first black void map and the first Alice style, "small player in large world" map behind Zee bookcase. These two styles alone inspired many community mappers to create their own versions in many different engines.

First you drop the classic "Ello Guys" intro, then you get a different voice, and now you even call yourself "Der0n WeeX" or somesuch? It's like I don't even know you anymore!

By the way, if you record on protocol 15 (where possible) or 10002, you can fix the intermission camera on demo playback with BJP's convdem tool.

Derp

#83 posted by necros on 2014/01/28 23:05:08

you can call yourself whatever you like, but you need the "ello guyz" intro!

Devasted Skill Levels

#91 posted by sock on 2014/02/16 21:30:47

I remember long ago playing that map on Hard Skill and thinking it was brutal and unfair. The dual shambler spawn with no cover is just an easy example of where if you don't use the corner quickly and learn shambler dancing it can go wrong quickly.

What I did like about that level was the end battle and how the monsters came in from wind tunnels on the side, umm now that looks familiar! :P

Also WTF mapping project are you working on!?! :P

Funny you should ask that, of all people.

Its A HL2 Map

cue groans and sarcastic remarks ;)

#94 posted by Lunaran on 2014/02/17 04:25:51

Something that stood out to me as good layout that you didn't mention: the first two-button progression block also has a symmetrical set of doors associated with it, so no matter which button you hit last, you're right next to one of the doors when they both open.

You also didn't explain "Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od!" (because viewers really want to know about obscure #terrafusion jokes).

#95 posted by DaZ on 2014/02/17 04:44:56

I had no idea what that westwood thing was all about. Scampie explained it in the comments :)

#96 posted by mwh on 2014/02/17 07:53:07

I think Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od is more of a "I listened to Radio 1 in the 90s" joke?

Debrisssss.

Derpbris!

Nice spawn/fiend kill in the final battle there. The final arena might be relatively easy but it still looks like fun pacing.

#98 posted by Joel B on 2014/02/27 23:46:25

Hey, what was the map in the "B roll" Quake footage that you were playing during your recent status update? It looked familiar but I'm blanking on it.
