Decino during the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse: "Not impressed. They just come in front of you. They should come from sides as well."

[@TreuloseTomate]

You need all 3 skull keys to open the exit door. Or you can open it from the secret security room. But you probably know that already.

[@requem90]

I was lacking of imagination. First opened door with all skull keys and then later discovered this secret thinking that switch opened seemingly inaccessible door in front of me. When Pumpkin Man mentioned about TV screen from CCTV now I realized what I was watching 🤦‍♂️

[@TheRealNormanBates]

@@requem90it’s like one of those 3D view screens from the Enterprise-D.

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

I love this little feature. An alternative way to exit a map is always pretty cool in my book.

[@langoloql]

I think the Caco was being interrogated by the Archivile

[@doomerrasa8475]

0:30 god, imagine if escalators worked like that irl, that'd be terrifying.

[@KernelLeak]

@@hpph7133 Is that the realtor that put MyHouse.wad on the market?

[@TheRuinsfate]

Wow, Jet Set Radio soundtrack fits better than I would've expected

[@DinnerForkTongue]

JSR is reasonably close in theme to cyberpunk, if you think about it.

[@christiangottsacker6932]

I was looking for confirmation out in the comments. Thank you

[@Mr.Showbiz]

12:44 look hard enough and the mall section of the auto map looks like a Picasso painting

[@georgeheilman885]

6:39 dang, that caco was just three days from retirement.

[@IvanOdintsoff]

They sure love SEGA music! this one is from Jet Set Radio (Electric Toothbrush). The ending one is from PSO (Image of a hero). And a lot of other stages with Streets of Rage music. Awesome!

[@KernelLeak]

"Going Shopping With Decino", the map...

[@VoanHead]

Floral Shoppe-ing, you mean?

[@Khrada]

So this is what a mall level would look like in DOOM. Not a really difficult map, but the enemy placement and the design makes up for it.

[@blob693]

Would be funny if someone replace the music with Coconut Mall theme

[@Kyezoar]

This map is like a perfect mixture of both Doom Level Design and Build Engine ideals with trying to making a realistic-ish place for a level

[@doomerrasa8475]

I do think this map nails the augzen idea

[@Jurarigo]

This map feels so cozy and nostalgic, more so than others in Auger Zenith. Also, at 3:49 the bullet holes on the stairs moving alongside Doomguy looked super cool for some reason.

[@eduardodiaz9942]

It's kinda funny how you get weapons in this map by basically looting the place

[@jashloseher578]

Dawn of the Dead, but comfy.

[@OhShitSeriously]

Legit my favorite A;Z map. (yes i know i've said that before) It's got just such a lively vibe - could use more enemies in parts, but I love the style and the big open space for the fights to sprawl out in.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I think I agree. I don’t know if it’s my favorite map, but it’s up there. The DOOM cute is off the level!

[@mrzzul7808]

This map is amazing. Without a doubt one of the most memorable in the entire wad.

[@kevinhernandez2594]

Sleep deprivation is a side-effect of fatherhood. It doesn't go away for at least 18 years, but it does taper off. Doing great, Dadcino

[@BigPashPlays]

You didn’t know Cacodemons were in the police force? Try living in Australia and being policed by giant spiders and drop bears.

[@Legatron17]

Hey decino, I just played through Eviternity II, and I have to say that you are really, really missing out! I know you said you would never play it due to your lack of time in the future, but I hope that maybe a few years down the line, you do find a day per week or something where you have some free time to record and upload a map playthrough :P Anyway, good luck on your busy future as a father nonetheless! 😄

[@rantman6486]

Decino, sleep deprived? Has your baby arrived???

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I don't think so according to his time estimation before, but he's for sure close to his "greetings everyone".

[@Eacowind]

lol clean up in the food court !

[@PhildoBaggins]

Don't worry the sleep deprivation gets worse when you have another one.

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

Really do like this map. Man they made this MIDI really good. I also was wondering why all monsters were there at the entrance. Probably they wanted human merchandise and food and stuff and the fact they are crowd full of Sisters out there. 🤪Well, time for preparations! 🚁

[@N.A.69]

Think the security station switch is a speedrunning thing? You can reach it before the other 3 keys, and run around the 2nd floor and get out fast. The 3 keys method is slower but you explore more of the map. Love these last 3 maps regardless, great WAD!

[@TheBrassDancer]

Seems like a pretty chill level before the end. Will it be another weird trip like map 12 I wonder?

[@RoboRed68315]

Sweet mall level with great music.

[@damien__j]

I live this map. There's so many different ways to play it depending on how much you inow about the map

[@barrysoetorro9123]

0:45 "D-D-Double Kill!!!!

[@alexrussman7204]

Once again, I can't believe all of this was made in one month. Loved the map and the soundtrack too, it just fits so well.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

14:00 it would have been neat to have a horde of monsters pop out behind you, but I took it as a mob waiting outside the parking garage. Think of them like Hell’s Paparazzi.

[@supercellodude]

I wonder: how much inspiration from the cyberdemon's aesthetic went in to Cruelty Squad's Necromech enemy (I'm getting some mall madness vibes from this level)

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

Was waiting for the rolling giant to show up and start following decino around lol.

[@KernelLeak]

Coming soon to a Valley View Centre at Dallas Midtown near you...

[@dreadwanderer]

If the goal was to critique the idea of the dead mall then it fails because it's got so much funk and soul. Very cool map by 40oz.

[@FromInfinityTV]

Dope map. Like the vibe, sort of a cyberpunk thing going on as well

[@iguana9173]

That was a really cool level.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Pretty nice mall level for the (mostly) vanilla Doom engine. Would be nice to see the inside of the shops, but alas, constraints and limitations.

[@jasonmaguire7552]

This map is super fun with fast monsters

[@hughjanes4883]

This was my favourite auger zenith map

[@jrock718]

Nice run pumpkin man

[@ClexYoshi]

My favorite map in one of my favorite WADs.

[@theoldschooldude5059]

Fantastic map with a great midi. Loved all the doomcute in it.

[@PenAirPilot]

This map is so cool. I love this WAD. So creaative. Great atmosphere.

[@CristianCamiloChavezVelez]

Black friday, Doom style.

[@OhShitSeriously]

The BFG is a reward for engaging with the map's design, and it's a reward exactly because it makes the final fight as easy as you want it to be. Without it... 😅

[@Olek54321]

I know at this point everyone knows that, but let's say it once more - the attention to details in this WAD is just impressive

[@prodpinknblue2894]

By the way, the music in the level end screen is from Phantasy Star Online, its the character creator theme. Just noticed that

[@camilaxus]

Omg, it took me like 1 hour and several deaths, and decino just come and in 15 min destroy the level

[@riba2233]

I really enjoyed this map :)

[@andrewlanglois6362]

6:42 In Duke Nukem, they are Active Mercenary. Beware the Eye of The Beholder.

[@J-_-]

No toilets in the restroom made me laugh because it reminded me of CYE.

[@adinocc2042]

Another good one.

[@Veezyjung]

Auger;Zenith looks like the kind of map pack that would really benefit from a cyberpunk gameplay mod like Lithium or Hell Crusher.

[@zeloscars]

Thank you, pumpkin man

[@airunux8556]

This is my fav map in this wad, I play it alot xD

[@Muladeseis]

This was a great shopping mall map, it has the right size and the parking lot had the right lighting.

[@db257c]

Music on point. Classic "turn around" secret. I loved the "monitor" in the security room showing the door it opened. Eviternity 2 has a great map that does a similar gimmick for the secret exit, Inclement.

[@ThatRedHusky]

It almost looks like the PSO2 Main Hub and I'm not complaining!

[@ikagura]

I knew that it was familiar.

[@xav9793]

This song goes hard

[@DeadFishFactory]

So how do you get that megaarmor at 2:00?

[@asabovesobelow1362]

Jump down to it from the upper floor.

[@SturmAH]

Mario Kart Wii has Coconut Mall, DOOM has Caco Mall.

[@atifarshad7624]

It's a bit funny that both my favorite map in A;Z (this map) and least favorite map (Map12) are made by 40oz

[@DarkestMirrored]

the exit seems fairly straightforward! EITHER you grab all three keys to unlock it OR you use the secret switch to skip the keys.

[@hebonky]

Next map probably has the coolest secret!

[@worshaka]

You're very humble Decino which is a great quality, but your skill level makes certain fights seem trivial. When I first played this wad those slaughter fights weren't easy for me. Now it's pretty bland but the difficulty level of this wad is toned down on purpose I feel. For me the focus was on aesthetics and atmosphere, not a combat challenge.

[@MagnusDangerMagnus]

Jet set Radio!

[@tiCajfy]

The Pumpkin Man, fighting demons by day, changing diapers by night :)

[@RichterVs]

Decino imagine, god complex doom in that wad

[@juggernautx1779]

Mall of the dead Would be funny to have Blood's Mall of the Dead as midi Also, would've been nice to have the fountains to push you up. Maybe add a very bit, small steps of stairs to push the player up, but it's tricky

[@Chunes3]

Beautiful map, they should hire 40oz to design malls

[@kwanliu1612]

Jesus, me and my dirty mind just ignored all context from that statement. 😩

[@WitchyRhia]

the jsr track doesn't sound /bad/ in midi form but it certainly exacerbates its repetition, a short break from the melodic stabs to let the rhythm and other backing elements shine for a handful of measures would've been a greatly welcome change even if it wouldn't be true to the original! otherwise this map seems great, with a neat if initially confusing early exit

[@user-kw4qx4qu8c]

Cacodemon police force may be brutal, but at least they are not racist like some Italian zombiemen.

[@zdibs]

I liked this map, but it felt like it's missing something. Not sure what, I just feel like there should be one more thing in there. Still a really good map though! Especially enjoy the multiple ways to get to the ending. Fun for speedrunners if nothing else.

[@podfuk]

Finaly, big boy map at last ;) Not really, but cool map for sure!

[@VitorMach]

i guess the Doom shotgun is surprisingly realistic, real shotguns don't have abysmal range as most games portray

[@christiansomers4188]

Embrace the sleep deprivation. Cheer up after 18 years, or so, they get less dependant. 😂😂

[@santiagopaz8627]

Sleep deprived? Did I just miss THE announcement?

[@KernelLeak]

14:43 "Ambient slaughter"?

[@user-cl2my7sw4v]

you forgot megaarmor dude !

[@user-cl2my7sw4v]

first one

[@ikagura]

The second slaughter map of the wad?

[@RatoCavernaBR]

Hey decino how is your little pumpkin?

[@liangseng7474]

Decino, why is the dropped shotgun sunken into the floor like that at 0:55?

[@decino]

Node builder error probably. Just like the sunken Shotgunner in Plutonia MAP25.

[@lecoindugamer7644]

Coconut mall but in doom

[@VoanHead]

the vaporwave was strong in this map, it felt more like that than cyberpunk. What’s your thoughts on vaporwave way back in its hayday of the early 2010s?

[@decino]

Pretty cool stuff.

[@lucierymelez9204]

Hiiii💜💜

[@diegosaul336]

Decino, mi dude. Sleep please you sound really tired :(

[@leonardogsperin]

Someone know infinity Doom?

[@AB0BA_69]

5:57 Decino doesn't even mention the cute little coffee cups. It's OK, I forgive you bro, I know you have a little Pumpkin Baby on your hands 😂

All Cacos Are Bastards? Seems about right...

[@mokibomo]

One of my least liked maps of this favorite wad. I can't recall why in exact but it didn't play and navigate like the other maps did which felt disconnected. Far from the worst experience in the mapset though

[@jasonmaguire7552]

Far, far worse maps in auger zenith than this

[@namefamily2748]

Play ULTRAKILL

[@CaMypau]

Didn't like the music in this level. Very repetitive and annoying.

[@DEdens1525]

Slaughtertastic. BFG infomercial.
