Where did this idea come from!?
I'm glad you asked! I was playing Wow: Enhanced one day, and thought it was good for a laugh. A remake of the worst wad ever made, with the only difference being some cool detail. I also remember being mildly disappointed that it wasn't longer. So I looked at this little jokemap, and how it expands on wow.wad... and I thought, what would happen if someone expanded it even more... indeed, to the highest level possible? And that's where this came from.
Isn't trying to make wow.wad into something good a bit pretentious and idiotic?
You are clearly not my target audience.
How do we know this isn't just a [censored word] joke?
[censored word] jokes don't have screenshots!
MAP01: Outer Facility
MAP02: Waste Processing
MAP03: Inner Complex
Fair enough. How does a wow remake have three maps?
The same way that a remake of a nine map episode can have ten levels!
How much of this wad will resemble anything about wow.wad?
Very close to none of it. The illusio-pit doesn't even have a cyberdemon in it, and the pit itself is done with Transfer_Heights.
Then why call it a wow remake!?
Cuz.
You said "first three maps". This wad's not even finished? Why are you giving it to us?
Open testing, of course. I'm passing it around to see what everyone thinks. After all, I want this to be as good as possible when it's released.
That said, I would like ask some things of you all if you're going to comment; don't just say "this sucks" or "needs more detail". That doesn't tell me anything. It would be a lot MORE helpful if you could do something like, say, point out a specific area of the wad that needs improvement, and make a recommendation or two about what could make it better. After all, this isn't the final product, so saying "this sucks and is hopeless!" is completely useless and will only serve to make you look like a jackass.
So what am I to expect from this?
Well, so far, three maps, each with progressively more complex architecture and challenging gameplay. Each one opens up with a cutscene (which you can skip through quickly by pressing the Use key, should you desire). Each one has a boss, which are nothing like the ridiculous monstrocities I used to be known for. Each map is pistol-start compatible, though pistol-starting MAP03 could be problematic.
As a side note, MAP03 is the only one that hasn't received testing outside of myself playing it.
Fine, I'll give it a try. Where is it?
