Bumping this thread, I have to say that I kinda like the slaughterfests of the first wad although I do agree that their mostly unnecessary in cramp areas though (Slaugherfests should be reserved in more larger rooms or largely open areas). Although I think it could borrow the same gameplay from Doom 64 however with balanced amount of enemies.

Also I think this wad could play around this trope a bit...

Criticism: My lack of time machine means that this is not yet released.

The unfortunate part about releasing a wad such as Unloved II, BlueEagle, is that it is, whether you like it or not, and not by any fault of yours, one of the most hyped releases of the year, just as a result of how popular and highly-rated the original was, and I don't mean to imply some sort of criticism of you or your work, being a big fan of your original release ( :wub: ), but that is something that you, as I said earlier, unfortunately cannot avoid, though, based on the screenshots you've posted, development is coming along rather smoothly, so it seems that this wad may indeed live up to everyone's inflated expectations, despite the turbulence it is headed into - provided you release in a timely fashion!

... Some sentence, huh?

Thank you for the reposonses :D

I don't think Unloved II is (or could be) in any way "hyped". I still consider Unloved as just my own little "baby" that is in no way near the "greats" of the Doom maps. I can imagine that a few people could be a little concerned about wether the second part will feel as fresh as the first one. I have put a lot of thought behind Unloved 1 and when I started the first version of Unloved2, I had not as much of this spirit left and after playing it for a few dozen times, it felt not as special anymore to me like the first part, so I gave up on the project and abandoned it. But after a few months, I had a lot of new and interesting ideas that I thought could make a very nice sequel, so I started over and up until now I am really glad about how Unloved2 turns out so far and there will definitely be memorable moments in it that you have never seen before in a Doom map (or maybe I missed it^^).

There will be some parts of Unloved2 that seem familiar (a house is again the main hub for the levels), but I've put a lot of thoughts into the atmospheric effects that I will use in Unloved 2, so you don't have to fear that I will reuse same jump-scares or stuff like that. I think it will be even more disturbing and thought-provoking than the first one (lol at least I hope so ^^).

Haha, that is just great.

The screens are looking good. Which reminds me I need to give the original another run sometime, it's been a while and I haven't felt so good lately myself, hehe.

Hi guys!

Little update...
I've been working my ass off on U2 in the last time and progress is fast and heavy. I'm very excited to get this out to you to see if this can meet the expectations some of you might have towards this project :)

I am currently about 40% done, but some later stages are already layed out and just have to be changed around a bit, so I would almost say I'm about 50% done.

The map types are now all set in stone and there is even ... SKY!

Image
Angry Hell Knight is angry.

Image
The prison area is 100% rust and metal.

Image
Is this the... exit?

Image
Behind a bookshelf is a hidden passage into another basement.

Image
The only outside area... a ghost town.

Image
This place is empty... isn't it?

Image
A staple of every Silent Hill game... the Hospital!

Image
Doctor? Something is wrong with the walls!

Image
A building for sale... wanna go inside and take a look?

Image
Faded City.

I feel a need to post this:
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep, my friend, and you will see
The dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says “rage”

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone!
Hooray for more screenshots! I need to try the original Unloved again sometime now that I have a computer that can RUN the bloody thing without texture boffups and slowdown. :P

I LOVE the outside areas!

Also, lyrics:
this is the first day of my last days
i built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
i want to but i can't turn back
but i want to
