A new Doom WAD: Simpler

Friday · 30 May 03 · 02:20 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Doom

I've added a new Doom II WAD to my Doom Levels page.  This is called Simpler and it runs on MAP07.  No, it's not a level release in the usual sense, rather it is a level that I've uploaded simply (pun not intended) to show off a cool trick I discovered.  I actually wrote about this several weeks back - the level has just one mancubus and once you kill it, you will automatically get the yellow key no matter where you are standing.  The level can be completed in 7 seconds (atleast, I did it in 7, my brother did it in 6 on his first try).

I've also modified the page with the list of all my Doom levels.  The list of levels is now categorised as Doom and Doom II Levels, Doomworld Speedmapping and Special Levels.  If you've read any of the text files that accompany my recent WADs, you'll see a list of my previous levels followed by "Plus there are a few WADs only available at my site".  That refers to the WADs in the Special Levels category.  Currently there are three of these - the two that were already there are Karthik2, my very first WAD and Marbelus, a WAD that I made to try out the effect of the 666 trigger.  The new addition to the list, is of course the present level Simpler.

I also updated the pages pertaining to my Doomworld Speedmapping levels - I've now added links to the respective Speedmapping packs.  Previously there was just a link to the Doomworld Speedmapping page.

Oh and I removed the links to the Commentary Demos that I had earlier.  These were recorded with an older version of ZDoom so they probably won't work with what you have - and they were anyway very long and not interesting to watch.

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01.  It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
