Ultimate Torment & Torture (New Screens p.26)

I guess i should start work then

If I work consistently, it will still take me about 2-3 weeks to clean up the old TNTs and finish the last map of TNT4 (needs just the boss-arena and your sprites/decorate), so there is still enough time left.

Remember co-op. There are only a few things that mess up co-op in the current TNT wads so they should be easy to fix.

2-3 weeks (to a month or so as things ALWAYS get in the way at some point)? And this will be DONE?! I've been waiting for TNT4 since I played TNT3, and this sounds awesome.

Heh, I remember stumbling on NewDoom and when I noticed the Wad in a Week contest, I've gotta say, I'm utterly shocked that TNT1 took less than 1 week to be made. Hell, working on my map for NDCP2 for the past 3 weeks I've only gotten 5 rooms done. Feh, rotten speedmappers...

Looking forward to this bigtime. But here's my question: considering this is the end-all-be-all for the series.... what's next? More somewhat random levels like City of the Damned? A new series? Nothing?

@Bio - You've got mail!

@ace - Yeah, thats good to hear and TNT4 is already in developement for almost a whole year... even a bit longer since I started with it a few months before KDiZD... nevertheless, I'll give my best to not disappoint you guys. And yes, after this final TNT piece, I won't stop working for that series... the reason is quite simple: I am finally out of ideas! Everytime I created another TNT part, I made it even better then the first one with some new innovative things never seen before, and I just could do this, because the Quake (and equal) resources made me think of new stuff while working on a precessor. And now, with TNT4 I have finished what I had in mind and - as anyone knows - you should stop when it's the best time of a piece and I don't think I can make TNT5 better than all the others.
After TNT I will concentrate again on KDiZD and meanwhile finish the "Tower of Suffering" which will all be released in 2006. Afterwards, Stronghold and Netherworld still needs to be finished, but I think, that will also take another year or more So, no new series like TNT, but maybe another random map like CotD or ToS!

Stronghold and Netherworld

Yeah. THat would be great.

[ace]

Well glad to hear everything (especially KDiZD ) will be moving along soon. By the way:

as anyone knows - you should stop when it's the best time of a piece

Try telling that to the people at EA, Sega, Capcom, and so on, who JUST WON'T QUIT with franchises like Need for Speed, Sonic, Megaman... the original games and a few that followed in most cases were good, but the more you make of a "good" thing, the worse it ends up becoming, especially when out of ideas. Those companies need to learn that you cannot milk a cow that has been dead for years... [/offtopicrant]

@ace - Absolutely true!

@GrafZahl - Especially Stronghold is one of the projects I'd really like to finish, but I need a lot of help with that one becaue I still have Chilvence's monumental script lying around but it is buggy in some places and I can't fix this on my own, because it is heavy ACS stuff in there

BTW, some progress report: TNT1 is about 25% remade! But I won't post any screenshots from now on!

[solarsnowfall]

I'm really busy with... ROne.

Details!

Any way I can help?

[Tormentor667]

Well, sure, if you are familiar with all the complicated ACS stuff, you might be able to help. If you want me to, I can already send you the complete script library and a demo map of Stronghold via email!

[Graf Zahl]

Please do so. Then I can take a look. Is this a universal script for all maps?

[Tormentor667]

Yeah, it's a universal script for all the maps with one single IN-MAP part that controls the others. I will do that in a few minutes. And, btw, did you get my email concer. the TNT Resource bugs? (switches, hellwarrior)

[Graf Zahl]

Didn't you get my answer?

[Tormentor667]

Answered now with link to the files. Thx man!

[Tormentor667]

Some new on the developement:

I finished the new "Upper Libraries" of TNT1 today and added Stacked Sectors and other cool effects to this part of the map... that looks amazing now, I don't dare to post any screenshots to destroy the surprise
