I'm an ADHD riddled soul on a journey to try and finish something for once. I've decided to reach into the depths of my nostalgia to work on making Video Game Levels for the old 90's FPS Duke Nukem 3D, I chronicle my journey learning Mapster32 on YouTube!

It doesn't help in Episode 2, but the expander is actually a fantastic anti-Sentry weapon, I'm also a fan of using the pistol, it fires fast enough to just keep them stun locked, and I usually have ammo for the pistol. Pistol in general has some great uses because of its accuracy.

Secret Strategy: run away behind a door and close it behind you. If the sentry drones get to the door and your close enough to it, they blow up and you stay safe and secure!

Save ammo kids!

I have to make a thumbnail for tomorrow's livestream, but I'm also possibly going to a funeral, but I also work today and have a Halloween event tonight. ADHD procrastination is fantastic.

It's easy to build static levels using sectors and sprites, it's when you want to do more, like having subway systems, where things get tougher, but there are tutorials, though it could be better. It has so much potential if more people worked on it, the creativity of GZDoom people could do wonders!

That is something I too criticized as someone new joining in, one of the side projects being worked on does seem to (maybe) address this, as an updated user interface would allow an easier entry into Build. I wish it was further along, but it just started getting worked on last month! Soon though...

One of the main ones I've been using since I started my YouTube channel to learn level editing was this one here:
youtu.be/ZcTDHFUAi2E?...
It adds Unreal (I think GZDoom has something like this) style 3D sector selection, newer versions of this Mod add a ton MORE feature I'm planning on testing soon

Funny you should say that, as there is a bunch of movement behind the scenes recently (some official, some fan mods) that aims to do just that! While also unlocking a lot of engine features to allow even more, advanced, freedom. I'm a tad biased as someone who is learning Build first

Hey GZDoom people, maybe it's time to join us and become fans of the Build Engine for all your 2.5D Boomer Shooter goodness? Some exciting things are happening over here for those interested in getting into mapping or fully blown games!

Placed our crystals into the world. I broke the mechanism to make them function like "keys" while doing it. I'll have to fix that later. Are we looking familiar to anyone? πŸ‘€ #Mapster32 #LevelDesign

Our Crystal Keys we built on our stream today. You need to gather three of them to power up the time machine in Duke Nukem: Time to Kill. We're remaking the 1st level of that PS1 Tomb Raider-style platformer as a level for Duke Nukem 3D. Join us next week for more Mapster32 fun!

I've been actively playing more AA games or games from past-Gens I missed and I'm genuinely thinking this is the way to go moving forward. AAA isn't dead, but the increased pricing and push for graphical fidelity over something more, a spark of life if you will, just killed it.

Yeah GZDoom is cool, but have you ever tried mapping using Ken Silverman's Build Engine, or its modern Source Port, Mapster32? That shit changes you...
