Demo goodness

Saturday · 16 Nov 02 · 07:01 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Doom

Some cool demos were recorded for Out of Phase 3 recently. I already mentioned Simon Broadhead's Legacy maxdemo, which was about 4 minutes long, and my own 3:00 maxdemo as well. You know, I improved that to 2:42 later that night. This one was a pretty fun demo, where I happened to telefrag a Baron of Hell at the end. He was the last monster left in the level, and he happened to go to the outside area (the final secret area). And he was walking about there when I teleported in at his exact location! When I landed there I was wondering where he was, when I saw his corpse. Heh. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Yesterday, I also got two demos of the level from Ganeshan, recorded on Skill 1 and 3.

And today, Varun decided that he would beat everyone's time, and oh how he did! He took 43 whole seconds off my fastest demo, completing the level in just 1:59 (of course, that's no big surprise, I expected nothing less from him)! Terrific demo with him playing like a madman at the beginning, with lots of clever optimisations - it's all well-planned strategy throughout! There was one VERY close shave with an Archvile in the end too.

Hey, thanks everyone (of course, except myself) for recording!
