For 2016, I really want to better my mapping abilities and put out some good stuff. Two friends, Mystical and Gardevoir, said that a good experiment might be to try speedmapping. Just get the shit out of the mind and into the editor, stream-of-consciousness work. 4-6 hours, Zandro compatibility, vanilla monsters/weapons. DUMP 1 began and it was a success, bringing a whole bunch of me and my friends into ZDoom mapping and just churning things out.
Then another friend, AD_79, suggested I open it up to the public. I did, and the response was overwhelming. An unfathomable amount of people signed up for this, and we ended up with a grand total of 68 maps. A hub map, 64 normal maps, a secret map, a final map, and a Marathon map (of all things).
As before, we now present to you a small hub leading to a handful of different maps. Beat X amount of maps to unlock the exit, with X being a variable depending on the difficulty level (ITYTD only requires a handful of maps, Nightmare requires EVERY SINGLE MAP), and defeat the final boss to win.
Gameplay mods should be supported, though there's been trouble in Zandronum so it may be better to use them in ZDoom/GZDoom. Pistol start is enforced, and monsters are vanilla (except for the Final Boss).
As before, the primary purpose of this project is to have a way for all of the newbies to try and push over that initial hump together, to MAKE something. It's the usual pile of quality you'll expect from a gigawad of MyFirstZDoomMap.wad, but it was fun to band together to make shit.
Again, as before, please feel free to point out any issues, troubles, errors, imbalances, and etc about the maps. Don't feel the need to sugarcoat, give it to us straight--none of us are pro-tier mappers. We can't improve if we don't know what's wrong.

THANKS, WEBSITE!
(Also thanks to AD_79 for convincing me to get off my ass to make a post)
SO WHAT'S THIS?:
=====================
The first DUMP was pretty cool.
The Doom Upstart Mapping Project (or DUMP because we are professionals) is a project spearheaded by one goal: Learn how2map by JUST FUCKING DO IT.
but sir that isn't proper grammaI DON'T GIVE A SIIIIINGLE SHIIIIIT
It's a circle for newbies to try their hand at mapping, it's a way for rookies to try and polish their skills and grind out the usual "gotta get better by doing it!", it's a way for veterans to get out of their comfort zone and try something different, it's a way for people who've wanted to mod but felt too shy about joining something to have a project they can point to and say "I made something".
The rules are simple: Make a ZDoom speedmap. No, seriously, just do it. Open up GZDoom Builder, draw shapes, connect them together, slap in enemies and weapons, BAM, you have a map.
EDIT:
<wildweasel> You do say "speedmap" in the thread though
<wildweasel> is there any formal time limit?
<wildweasel> or does "speedmap" pretty much just mean "go with the flow, make some rooms, don't bother detailing them if you don't know what to do"?
<TerminusEst13> Yeah, pretty much that.
Well unless you're BORING and want technical specifications, in which case:
- Bare minimum of compatibility is Zandronum 2.1.2 in software mode. While this really isn't much of a limitation, locked linedefs in UDMF have been known to trip people up. (Hint: Use Script Locked Execute to bypass this, or if you don't know how to use it, don't worry and use your locked linedefs like normal, I'll patch it up in the "polish" phase)
- New textures are allowed, just be mindful they don't clash with existing filenames. That'll be embarrassing!
- No new weapons, no new enemies. Compatibility with gameplay mods/enemy mods is important. The only exception will be the final map for a dramatic final battle, and even then I'll be handling that. MAYBE for the secret map. MAYBE.
- Jumping and crouching WILL be allowed in the maps. It's a ZDoom-based mapset. Pretty straightforward, here.
- Don't go hog-wild and try to create Phocas 2 in a week. Seriously, don't. Start small. Start simple. Polish it up. Fine-tune it. Tweak it. Then sit on it. Then come back to it and tweak it a little more. You'll be amazed at how fast time flies.
- Pistol start will be enforced, so don't make a map expecting the player to have a BFG loadout.
- Be open to criticism and feedback. Nobody here is a professional. Very few people are actually good. Your map will probably have flaws, errors, and things that need tweak.
- Music needs to be either module music or MIDI music, module music preferred. Let's not bloat with ~*~FILESIZE~*~. If you don't know where to pick up module music, head to http://modarchive.org/ and hit "Random Song" a lot or go to http://snesmusic.org/ and pick your favorite Super Nintendo song. There's some good shit there. Promise. Or feel free to leave it to me if you don't care or don't have any ideas.
- As above, be open to someone else tweaking your map. Being the project lead, I'm going to need to make some changes to things in order to make things work. I'm gonna rub my little hands all over your baby. Ohhhh yessssss. That's a niiiice baby. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
- If you make, like, a 1x1 box, a gauntlet of zombiemen, or some kind of super-shitty nothing-but-a-corridor-and-20-cyberdemons, I'm not gonna include your map. I'm still exercising a modicum of quality control. Put some effort into your fucking map.
- IF YOU USE EXTERNAL RESOURCES, PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF WHERE THEY'RE FROM AND WHO DID THEM.
SCHEDULE LAYOUT:
=====================
Week 1 (March 1-8): Preparation. Use this time to think of your layout, use this time to gather texture/sounds, draw a picture in MSPaint, etc.
Week 2 (March 9-16): MAKE YOUR FUCKING MAP. You get a whole week to make it. You can be a traditional speedmapper and blitz the entire thing out in like six hours, or you can take your time and lay it out room by room. Either way, get it done by the 16th. Actually, get it done by the 14th, and use the extra two days to sit on it.
Week 3 (March 17-24): Compilation and criticism. I'll take a couple days to compile everyone's maps into a single build and throw it at everyone. Everyone plays through it and offers feedback on everyone else's map. Feedback is mandatory, citizen. People fix up their maps according to the feedback.
Week 4 (March 25-31): Release and relaxation. Congratulations, you made a map!
INTERESTED PEOPLES:
=====================
(Do not take this as a confirmed list of "everyone in this list is going to give a map/needs to map". I'll be surprised if, like, 5 maps come in)

BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO CHAT?:
=====================
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well I mean, there's not much to talk about. Just make your fucking map, mate.
If you have questions, though, you can hit me up on IRC. My "main" chat room is #anakeion on Zandronum IRC, but I also hang in #doomtwid on OFTC and #ZDoom on Espernet.
Or #pso2proxygchat on BadnikNET but I'm pretty sure they'll get pissy if we hijack that room for Doomtalk purposes.
If you wanna hit me on Skype, I'm TerminusEst13. (What a shock)
If you wanna hit me on Steam, I'm TerminusEst13. (What a shock mk 2)
WAIT YOU CAN'T MAKE A PROJECT POST WITHOUT A SCREENSHOT!:
=====================
FUCK YOUR RULES
