Also the first level where you enter hell....holy shit yes.
You do some really creative stuff here.
But seriously. That level is metal as fuck.

Right at the start, turn around.

Woah, that's weird ... thanks for noticing that. I don't think I have that on my version? What Source Port are you using?

I'll take a screenshot from mine after work.

Thank you. I had a lot more fun making the Hell levels than the Space levels, especially the secret level and MAP07.

[SouthernLion]

Looks normal to me. Different rendering?

Also, side note, I have three hidden messages written in SGA (for those of you that are Keen fans) in this level set. One is... a little obvious.

I can tell you were getting into the swing of things in the hell levels. They're top notch.
Maybe we can collaborate for the space levels.
And the secret level (just played it) is phenomenal. I loved it.
After you polish this pack up you and I should work on my wad.
Another earth invasion pack but I really wanna push gzdoom to it's limits.

[SouthernLion]

I'd love to do some kind of collaboration project sometime.

I've begun working on the hopefully final version. Done a few run throughs, mapped out what I want to improve visually or balance/boredom/challenge wise, and started busting things out in Builder. I'll upload it as soon as it;s finished.

[SouthernLion]

Update is finished! Made some areas more interesting, added some monsters, changed balance of the end boss, fixed all the bugs I could find. The 10-gauge magnum shotgun fires a little faster, making it more useful, and The Unmaker has been completely redone power and effect wise. Still primarily designed for killing the boss, it can clear a room if you decide to make use of it that way.

Wait one second, have to fix the uploaded file. MediaFire messed up.

[SouthernLion]

Sorry for combo post. The U/V server is up and running now.
