Parallax

Medium sized lava temple built on progs_dump 3.0 (already included) with some Koohoo textures and assets from Arcane Dimensions. Music by AlekswithaK. Map source is included.

There's no custom start map, load manually via console: "map parallax"

"I wanted to focus more on combat and utilizing progs_dump 3.0 to a larger potential, and creating something that felt essentially like Quake, but had lots of different things going on. I wanted to refresh the mechanical elements of combat, while still letting it feel like the same game. So, I took advantage of pd's monster styles, a lot. I also wanted to make the combat hectic and difficult, while not being unfair. So I feel there's plenty of cover to take from the chaos, and loads of health, but if you get yourself stuck/cornered, or if you forget to keep track of your health and ammo enough, you'll get shafted."

Note: probably requires a modern engine / source port with increased limits. "Tested with vkQuake."

Fantastic. The care that went into the combat is obvious.

Jehannum Registered 29 November 2022, 16:01

I really enjoyed this on skill 2. The combats were appropriately difficult and the ending was a real hoot! Loads of fun throughout.

Great job with everything here, and thank you for sharing with us! I look forward to this mapper's next offering.

The_Pirate Registered 29 November 2022, 19:04

Hm. Spoot seems to have a very different idea of "not unfair" than me.... ;)

Clearly the fights have first priority here, but the architecture isn't bad either. Competent brush- and texture work, and quite a few touches of the old 'ID' style. In all ways a quite respectable map.

This has been quite a joy. Thanks for sharing!

While combat encounters were clearly the high point in this map (well-thought, ambushy and often brutal), i liked also the overall layout - with center hub and emerging stairs. The cutscenes from the main room (showing "progress" of unlocking stairs) give player a sense of "knowing what to do", way better than by text messages.

The final fight was particularly hard - IMHO due to too many "instant hit" monsters (LG enforcers + rapid laser enforcers + LG from shamblers). Even if you stay on the move - you'll get inescapable hit after hit, only way to survive is to dispatch these buggers as soon as they spawn.

Anyway - for me it's a 5, purely because i had lots of fun with it, even despite dying like 20 times along the way :) It has a classic ID runic appeal and simply delivers.

I'm always excited to play Spootnik's maps, especially because they use progs_dump REALLY well. As otheres have said the ending is a challenge but the whole center hub section and pacing of the encounters are really something special. GG!

A fun map.

s4f3s3X Guest 6 June 2023, 16:34

Good map up until the final fight. That was simply not fun at all and it's an example of horrendous and frustrating design. Challenging, sure, but unfair. A good map designer can make a map hard as balls and challenging as he might, but he's still in a corner blinking at you secretly because he wants you to win. What I felt with this map and others was like someone hated me with a passion and prevented me in any way to have a chance. Just wrong.

MikeTaylor Registered 17 June 2023, 14:17

This started promisingly. But by the time I got to the Key of Searing Fury sub-quest, I was really really tired of the schtick where you kill a group of monsters and immediately some more warp in to take their place. It's such a lazy way to extend gameplay. I'm giving up at this point: despite the obvious craftsmanship in here, there's just no point in playing a map that I'm not enjoying. Others' mileage will vary, no doubt.
