/vr/ - Retro Games

I can't believe this needs explained, but 400 Minutes of /vr/ is not a front for your political agendas. It doesn't matter if I agree with them or not, it's just plain stupid, like naming your map "capitalism is a disease that will cause the inevitable downfall of society" or whatever. Leave your politics at the door, and focus on making a fun map, or it's getting rejected. Are we clear?

thanks mate, sounds good

I asked a similar question in the last thread and both what >>6823565 and >>6823663 linked are very good resources.
Besides that, it's good to keep certain things in mind, like how skill options can vary wildly depending on the PWAD, that doing saveless/pistol start runs do take practice to pull off and that dying isn't necessarily something to be that afraid of. Especially going in blind.

Still, fuck Revenant swarms.

Would anyone be interested in a wad file with 35 MIDI's that could be categorized as cheesy/memey and/or just plain good?

I had the intention of making a WAD I could load after a mapset in case I didn't want to listen to its own music (maybe because it used Doom2's stock, or because I didn't ilke its own). Then I started vaccuming up MIDIs from various sources and started making a folder of the stuff.

The selections or their order have had little to no thought put into them, the general criteria for getting in was that they either put a smile on my face or were just plain cool to listen to in MIDI form.

I mainly post here, and on my tumblr, I feel awkward linking my tumblr here on /vr/ if only because I'm never really keen on shilling myself.

But here is my Tumblr http://combine-kegan.tumblr.com/

and the hammer is still going to stay insanely powerful, it's a rare subweapon so I want to keep it good. Of course I've taken a few steps to balance it a little with a short range and a cooldown between throws

Well guys the Boulder Firing Gun isn't gonna happen in Combined_Arms, I really can't make it WORK in a satisfying manner.

So it's back to the goddamn drawing board for a BFG weapon.
