This Week's News, 3/30
My DOOM level is out!
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/152121-manufacturing-conflict-single-map-10/
It took about a month, but I think it's pretty fun. I think there's still plenty of good edits to make, and I'm grateful that I've gotten a few people commenting on it. If you want, give it a play and see what you think.
I'd like to keep making levels, as I have a friend who's interested in doing a 10-map WAD. But most of the levels won't be as big as this one. They can't, haha.
I'm still thinking about strategy games
This video is amazing. We haven't heard from Bunnyhop's George Weidman since the end of 2023, when he was talking about Pentiment.
The video has direct ties to the SRPGs I love, and overall traces a blisteringly deep lineage connecting the ancient Greeks to Napoleon to the US MIlitary to... you guessed it, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.
There's a lot of game design gold in there, stuff to bounce around in my head as I finally try to finish part 1 of Genealogy of the Holy War, which I have picked back up, for better or worse.
For my album: I think I need to give up on recording real instruments for my album (horns, strings)
Uhhh, I guess that's just a video. Here's the audio above.
This is currently what the virtual instruments sound like at their best, and I'm sure most people would agree that's fine. I think I just need to work with them more to make them sound as good as possible. There is still at least one or two people that want to record with me that I'll happily pay, and I have plenty of guitar and bass work from my friends.
But besides the people I've already brought on, I can't really afford it, nor do I have the time right now. And I've had a few songs grind to the halt over waiting for string parts. So, forget it. It'll be easier if I just arrange it myself virtually so I can finish the project sooner.
To be honest, I have been at times feeling very inspired about my album, but other times it feels like it's a school project. I'm trying to keep the energy high because even though I've been working on it on and off for 4-5 months now (and for a music project, that has the effect of losing a lot of passion along the way), there are still a lot of parts of it that are super important to me. Still a very personal album. You'll see.
That's all for now, see you next week.
I made a Doom wad!

300 Minutes of /vr/ is a community speedmap compilation by /vr/, the retro vidya board on 4chan, and the always-active Doom threads. Sometimes we play Doom, sometimes we mod Doom, and sometimes we fight about whether you should pet the Cacodemon. After 200 Minutes of /vr/, we'd been sputtering for a while about a sequel, but then one intrepid leader decided to just fucking do it and started up with a similar ruleset. 300 minutes, or five hours. Make a vanilla-compatible map. Test in Chocolate Doom. Fucking do it.
Corralling the ADD-ridden cats of 4chan is no small feat, but 300manager did so with gusto. And almost a month later, we'd compiled 33 different maps from a lot of different people in the community. Some amateur, some quite experienced. A handful of My_house.wad, a handful of genuine attempts, and a handful of gimmick ideas. Described by the audience as "aggressively mediocre" and "it sure is a wad, I guess", we now present to you 300 Minutes of /vr/. Special thank you to 300manager and the anons of /vr/ for making this possible.
Aday2die.wad by Michael Krause is a very good WAD and I think it deserves more attention. Download: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/a-c/aday2die
My doom maps are Fucking quality, when I'm finished I'll upload those bastards for yall to play
A few screenshots from my recent playthrough of Zanieon’s “UAC Vinur Prime Research Base”. It’s a gigantic, very pretty map stuffed full of demons to fight your way through. I recommend it!
Just got through Daedalus.wad, gotta say the mapset was pretty top notch! The puzzles got a bit difficult at times but nowhere near as bad as Herian 2 did. The designs/architecture of the maps was great! Loved the little touch of small groups of enemies showing up while you’re not in part of the hubs.
The ending was absolutely awful, though. No idea what they were thinking.
