Description:
Eviternity is a Boom-compatible singleplayer/COOP mapset by Dragonfly that’s making use of ukiro’s amazing new texture set (OTEX). I was approached by ukiro to see if I would be interested in making a map using his yet-to-be-released texture set. Being a sucker for quality texture sets, I was super interested in contributing something (and I had actually been following his texture posts for a while).
I contributed 1 map for the project – MAP24: Gossamer. The map was originally made as a submission for Vargskelethor’s 2nd Doom mapping contest. I didn’t have any plans for the map after Joel played it, so I figured it would make an good candidate for Eviternity.
Gossamer is a medium-sized gothic+hell+city map. The first iteration of the map (the one submitted for the contest) was somehow finished up within about a week. It’s a fairly difficult map but with lots of action and some dynamic set-pieces. It was purposefully made to be mostly linear with the intention of making it as non-confusing as possible for Joel (while still allowing for small flow deviations in couple of places). I was burnt out on mapping for a good while after pushing so hard to finish it before the deadline. But I was quite happy with the end result in both gameplay and visuals.
The version of that map that appears in Eviternty was significantly updated over the course of a few months. The changes include more involved gameplay (utilizing some of the new monsters), more secrets, better balancing, more dynamic interactions, more architectural eye candy, and a fantastic new coat of paint using ukiro’s awesome textures. Jimmy also surprised me with a brand-new music track shortly before the release!
The project was released on December 10th, 2018. You can download the latest version below. I highly recommend giving this a play through, it is probably up there in my top favorite megawads of all time.
