Doing the impossible. But need extra help.

Post by Hellsmith1 »

Me and a friend are trying to see if we can do the impossible and we need extra help and 2 people is not enough. Because we are going to try to make 100 levels and try to put all of the monsters on these levels if we can get them all plus weapons, items, power ups, new music etc...

Just to let you know what we are doing is something a little different then you are use too. I'll give you a hint it involves the player and his new friends, his new alley and at the final level it has a Good Ending and Bad Ending.

Who wants to join us? And make history come true.

Hellsmith1, before you start asking for help on your new mega-cool-and-whatnot project, make sure you have something to show first (screenshots, map downloads, etc). Keep in mind we've already seen thousands of upcoming projects that actually never got done.

Do you have anything done already that you can show us? Screenshots of your levels, perhaps? Also, keep in mind that "all of the monsters from realm667" does not necessarily make your project good. You should pay particular attention to what those monsters actually do, and clever places to put them in your levels to take advantage of their behavior.

No! The idea of the site is to use what resources it offers in a sensible manner, not to make horrendous compilations out of these resources.

It's good to have ambition, but 100 levels will take a lot of time and energy to create. Most megawads don't even reach 30 with multiple mappers. As for the monsters, cramming the entire realm 667 bestiary into one WAD will unnecessarily inflate file size and just lead to a whole host of problems, pick a few you like and do interesting things with them. Make sure they work with your maps.

Well right now we are just planing on what to do and we are not doing any computer work yet. All we'll doing is writing stuff down in our notebooks and getting ideas to what to put into the levels first before we start anything and all we need right now is some new ideas you know.

I do understand what you all mean. I do have a partner already that is helping me. But 2 people is not enough all we need is just 2 more helper's that's all I'm asking.

Just saying that joining a project that is just in planning stages with people who can show nothing of the current or previous work, as well as a WAYY over-ambitious idea that is based in bad decision, is not very appealing..

As Raziel236 said, this is too ambitious. Try something smaller. MUCH smaller.
You're not going to be able to make 100 maps. Not even *I* have that sort of dedication.

I can't imagine that this would go very far. And if you're adding all of the R667 resources, good luck. At least include just some of the R667 resources in there. For one, quite a few of the resources on R667 conflict with each other because of having the same sprite or sound names. It's easily fixable, but still not cool to see and/or hear. I honestly don't care how many R667 resources are in a WAD, but I just want to see them used correctly. I've seen quite a few WADs that don't use them correctly and they end up playing like crap in the end.

And 100 maps? Most community megawad contributors probably wouldn't even be content with that.

I'd be glad to help, but only with supplying resources that are otherwise not on R667.
