I just tried all the maps while in nightmare mode and the DMSP mod.

The only maps that work pretty well with the DMSP mod are :

- sock,
-fifth.

The gameplay style is vastly different and, ... it's really cool !

Try it ! 

Demoes recorded, but sleepy time now. 

got lost in Scampies map somehow after the GL. too tired to figure it out... although Digs' map was not a problem for me 

And shoots lightning, too.

Even other monsters fear him, so expect a clobbering.

He shrugs off explosions.

Good luck. 

Instead of being boring and writing a description for each map, I'll just say that while scampie and skacky's maps were the highlights of this pack, each map was great fun.

As well, I feel its appropriate for twelve maps, instead of individual demos for each, a youtube video of each map being played for the first time on hard skill, in alphabetical order.

Arrrcee gets its own video, because of a screw up with the recording, and I couldn't combine it with the rest without going through a whole other mess.

Fantastic job to all! 

If you want, you can tack the video of mine to the end or beginning of the other video through the youtube editor if you want them all together?

Best for secrets: Sock
Best for Visuals: Ionous / Mfx
Best for ambience: Scampie
Best for Play: Skacky

Great choice of mapjam, and very good results from all mappers on it.

Why no honey progs? Axing zombies was great.

I was disappointed not to find any ghosts as well.

One day you will crumble to pier preassure and put a secret under a lift.

And I'll be there, waiting to look underneath and find it.

Agree re axing zombies!

Will upload demos when I get time to play Scampie map again.

I still can't believe the quality of some of these entries! Hope the next one will prove similarly inspiring!

that explosive finish of your second demo drew :D


I'm sorry you got lost after the GL, you aren't the only one... In retrospect, there were a few things I should have done: 1) Move the zombie cave so that the player clearly runs into it and sees it's an objective, with nothing else going on. 2) Not let the player backtrack right off, so they don't accidentally get turned around looking in the wrong direction too far. 3) Not trigger the zombies that spawn to repopulate BEFORE you kill the 'key' zombies, because they can just cause confusion (not strictly needed if I lock the door so you can't backtrack, but still)

The whole idea with the Grenade Launcher was to pay homage to needing explosives as 'keys' in Honey. czg used clearly marked holes, and also directly communicated to the player that explosives were needed... I thought that zombies could fit that role reasonably well, but I think I didn't communicate it well enough that those zombies were, more or less, a silver key door in disguise. 

...with nothing else going on to distract. 

I actually should have paid more attention to Daz getting lost in the somewhat the same way when I had him test. I had tried to solve it with the special zombie face door (it used to be a normal metal texture), and with a message "ew, zombies", much like the "ugh, this door is jammed" message. But those aren't clear enough messages, especially when distracted with combat. So, live and learn, such is the nature of design :D 

clearly you haven't played metal monstrosity... 

 

It's in the skill select area of metmon. 

Also contributed somehow. Maybe a couple arrows popping up like in bad dark cistern? 

Your map could/should be a full release 

Geez, I can't stop playing and replaying many of the superb maps in this release !

Thanks again to the creators. What a bunch of geniuses you are ! 

I haven't had a chance to play any of these maps, but while working on another project I had Daz's twich video running and gave it a glance every now and then. I have to say I was seriously impressed. Exceptionally high quality maps overall. Congrats to all that submitted maps for this pack. 

Will get my old gaming/mapping machine set up again so that I can play these maps. Quite looking forward to playing some more Quake and other games. It's been a while since I was gaming regularly and I started to get urges again.

Writing this on my laptop on the bullet train from Tokyo. Feels so futuristic and awesome even though it's been possible for quite a long time now :)
