12 quick n' dirty speedmaps!

Hello again DM lovers. :) Here I have 12 maps I whipped up fairly quickly that are sure to please. Serious matches can be had with 2-4 players, but it goes insane with 8+! I have made the BFG optional, because I know a lot of people don't like it (see: whining). Select Skill 1/2 for Soulsphere, 3 for Invisibility sphere, and 4/5 for the BFG - It's the best option, of course!

I took a different approach with map08 and map12, they both use a more narutal layout. You'll know what I mean when you play them! (Sadly they cause VPOs in vanilla.) There's a secret with the Coke machine in the mall, map07. Originally there was only a Pepsi machine, but Ralphis reminded me that Pepsi sucks - it really does - so I added a Coke machine and moved the secret to it instead!

Enough of this talk - Let's see some screens:








I hope you all enjoy the frags. I welcome any feedback/criticism!

(Why not leave your thoughts on my page? I'd love to see that guestbook filled up with some WAD feedback!)

Hello my Odamex friends,

DWANGO's 20th anniversary is approaching. If you're like me and you just can't get enough deathmatch, remember: This is where it all started! The humble beginnings of an online fanbase that just won't die.

When Bob Huntley and Kee Kimbrell pitched the DWANGO idea to id Software, John Carmack and the others were largely uninterested, but the duo found support in John Romero, the godfather of deathmatching! No surprise there right?

This was a time before the internet had really caught on. Doomers had to dial long distance to Houston, TX - Despite this, DWANGO was wildly popular, and the creators reaped a well deserved profit from the subscription fees. By early 1995, over nine thousand subscribers were paying $8.95 a month, some calling from as far as Italy and Australia! It warms my heart to know Aussies have been fragging since the olden days.

The official anniversary date is December 11th, 2014 - I'm early, but hell, why not get our celebratory frags in now!

Screenshots Below:

Heretic, Sabbat Martyr Deathmatch, and edited Alpha Doom
resources. Map01 was originally created by myself for
dk_dm_2, but this version is improved.

Considering the age of these maps (all created between 1994 and 1998) I am highly impressed by their design and appearance. I think they make a wonderful addition to the DWANGO family.

Enough of this talking, Let's frag!

Happy 20th anniversary!

Damn, this is bad news :( I really hope things get sorted out, Those servers are great for Aussies playing against Americans!

Thank you Capo :D

Great idea for a thread.

What is your username and what does it mean?
I came up with this stupid name when I was 9 or 10, tried to change it, but then no one knew who the hell I was. Now I'm stuck with it!


What was the first doom you ever played? (Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Doom64, Doom3)
Shareware Doom with my dad and older brother all huddled around the screen. Probably would have been late 1995 at age 4, I was definitely too young to play this kind of game, but I don't think my dad bought into any of that videogame violence propaganda.


What was the first (unofficial) source port you ever played and when?
Officially, Doom95. Unofficially, ZDoom, back in 2002 on Doom Connector, thanks to Hellbent and R. Good memories.


What was the first (unofficial) pwad you ever played and when?
Hmm, either doomcity (a legend), Hellrun for Doom2 (another legend) or DMD2DIE.wad, which is garbage looking back, but again the memories are fond.


What is your favorite game mode?
Deathmatch!


If you are in a clan, what clan and why are you in it?
Not really in a clan. Haven't been into that kinda stuff for years, though in the back of my mind I enjoy the thought of being in UD - like that'll ever happen!


What is your fondest memory of multiplayer Doom?
My early days on Doom Connector, playing with Grim666, Kitty, Metal, Naut and the rest of CD. A bunch of dumb kids having fun Doomin'. Great ping when I was in the US, and overall I haven't kicked the habit, so that speaks for itself :)

I like it man, cool music track too. Is jumping allowed on this map, or is the BFG purely a tease? I couldn't find a secret that led to it.

Nice stuff!

Nice to see FW gaining some members.
