Ummm... No. It's called Phobos Anomaly.

How did I get that name into my head?

Anyway E1M8 is the first level with something that looks like it's from hell. I think it should be kept that way. The maps can be made harder by adding more monsters, making the areas more narrow and cutting down on health/ammo.

You do mean E1M8, right?

Probably because the music used for the level is named Sign of Evil...

Will do.

First monster WAD draft done. It contains:

The 3 dark imps
The Soul Harvester
The Hell Warrior
The Mauler Demon
The Fast Imp
Hell's Fury

EDIT: AND SIGN ME UP FOR E1M8 WEEK 2

About the monsters: Do you volunteer to extract fitting monsters (humans, zombies, demon variants, imp variants, nothing else!) out of the "monsters.zip" and add them to our resource wad? (I will start with that soon) Oh and if you have a good idea of creating a super-baron for the very end: Do it About sounds: Yes, as long as someone volunteers to do the resources!
And yes we are modifying the original maps and this is why they maybe wont be in the archives. But I will talk to Ty personally on this subject if we don't get them in!

Mapping: When do we start? (given the timescale)

Monsters: I'll see what's in the resource wad, and maybe create some myself if needed. Super baron will be done. (btw: are we sticking to E1 weapons?)

Sounds: I was planning to use some of my LTSD/SSD sounds, which I think will fit nicely here.

Sorry Tormentor, i'm not interested at this time.

I like the more hellish episodes, and like dochist said above, i'd participate in those areas seeing as it's my specialty.

However, I might play around with e1m8...I'll think about it.

@Nmn - You are in!

@BioHazard - You are in!

@DarkaRchon - Yes, looks good but as I have told, some humans are still missing, rocketeers, pistol variants, etc.

@UltimateDoomer - I have no idea when we are going to start, we just have to wait until all the resources are collected and until we have a full team! And yes, we are sticking to E1 weapons BUT I thought about replacing the Plasmagun and the BFG with some kind of E1 styled new weapons. What do you think? About the sounds: So you volunteer to do some AmbientSoundResources, yes?

Second draft done: I've added the rocketeer, the rapid fire trooper and the chainsaw zombie.

Right... this is intresting stuff... I will volunteer for map 5 on the first week as nobody has taken that slot. I really want to push myself... ya see, I've done a naughty thing... i've baught an extra 512megs of DDr RAm (333 speed... that's what my processor is... plkus, it was cheaper

) and now I am about £5 from my overdrafyt limit... I have like 7 days before IU get paid (well, 6, I get paid on friday) I have a cheque for £15 that i will put in the bank tomorrow and that will take about 5 days to clear... I should get this memory on tuesday...

What this means is that I will have around 768megs of ram... this will mean that i can hopefully play Doom3 aaaaand... record full guitars and bass with no problems! You will never guess what I will ask next? I wanna do the whole sound track for this baby! Yeah, there will be elementrs of slight remixes in there (I'm definately going to use a variant of the guitar riff in E1m1...) but most of it will be completely original stuff with full guitars and stuff... I rreally want to push myself to do this, so, if it's okay with everyone? Sorry leha... but you know what a greedy musician I am

.

As for mapping, yeah, that should be no prob. If we delay this for long enough then I should get an head start on making the music... if it uses guitars then it's going to sound AMAIZING! Think Quake 2 OST... only with morte ambience and synths

. Also, the guitars will be a lot heaviewr and the whole thing will be far better produced... I promise

.

I'd like to do something for this project but I don't think my mapping skills are good enough. Is there anything else I could do?

Hmm.... unfortunately I have no idea of what you could do for us because the problem is, I don't already know what we need

On the first page, it has a week one, week two, week three thing. Does that mean that there will be a week one where person A works off of id's level, a week two where person B works off of person A's work, and so on? Or is week one E1M1, week two E2M1 and so forth? At any rate, I'll take a slot in week one. I really don't care, so stick me with whatever one the other people don't want.
