Spooktober - Doom Mod Madness

A Clocktower level and a .flow level. Wow, I was not expecting the range of references in this pack.

[@leodoom8563]

I added a Silent Hill 4 room in a secret easter egg from my map. Yet another reference....

[@DefaultGray]

Of all the things to put into a Doom mod, Umineko (20:30) is one of the things I did NOT expect.

[@ProximaNT]

It's that moment when you quietly mumble to yourself; " *sigh* For fucks sake. "

[@dipayandegtyarev7177]

Last time I was this early, they called FPS games DOOM Clones.

[@ikagura]

I still remember when people called FPS "Quake-likes"

[@s4yanora]

@@ikagura Remember them being called Quake killers.

[@ikagura]

@Saltseeker I didn't even know that they are now called like that

[@s4yanora]

@Saltseeker Remember when TF2 looked a lot like an older school military shooter with Half Life visual style.

[@TheRogueWolf]

An escort level in Doom? With Arch-viles? ...the horror... the horror....

[@lyokianhitchhiker]

Not as bad as playing the escortee.

[@RevolverRez]

I don't care if half the levels kind of suck, the other half are comfy and pretty much perfect, and it's become a Halloween tradition of mine to play through Spooktober every year.

[@KynikossDragonn]

Hey, that's me in the credits gallery! Heck! For those of you that manage to play all the secret maps in this legitimately I made one of the songs to one of those secret maps. If that particular song was excessively quiet, I have a video on my channel of the song running in the original tool I used to create it in the first place. Of course you can always just open the pk3 and play back the IT file in OpenMPT or something...

[@GoodmansGhost]

That Alone in the Dark level gives me serious Deja Vu. Pretty sure it's an older level that I played two or three years ago, perhaps it's been revamped for spooktober though.

[@etheru]

Yeah, it is. It was created by the same guy, Impie, who made the original map, along with Strange Aeons. I think it's generally identical to the original level, though.

[@leodoom8563]

I like mocking poor players and their humping door fetishes. And props for using the track that I used in my map for the ending.

[@claudiolluberes111]

Hey you helped in this... hi.

[@leodoom8563]

@@claudiolluberes111 Yes, I did one of the maps as well with playtesting a lot of the other maps.

[@metalvideos1961]

which map did you made? i just started this mod. also how did you guys make the flames so smooth? they look like flames you see in every single modern game now as well. not that jerky style of flames you have in standard doom

[@leodoom8563]

@Labyrinth9000 I barely know of Thief, admittedly but, I used the textures provided for the project and those are great to make such a map.

[@leodoom8563]

@@metalvideos1961 sorry for the late reply but, I did map 11, located in the second floor of the mansion. I bet that Icarus used a mod to enhance the assets.

[@ebrules]

20:30 made me think my phone was going off, this was not a situation I expected to hear this music

[@ArceusShaymin]

The one secret level you covered where it's a maze with switches with the character you couldn't recognize is actually a reference to one of the many Yume Nikki homage games, .flow; your life indicator actually changes to the main character's - Sabitsuki - face, and you're being chased by a monster that looks like her, which is of course, a reference to an event in-game.

[@umbaupause]

I like that there is a homage to a homage to a quirky japanese indie game on freaking RPG maker of all things.

[@FairweatherBaah]

Hah, same deal with the Quake Halloween Jam 2 for this year. Spooky mansion, paintings to jump into to get to each level and a variety of spooky locations to blast through. Would recommend it, Icarus!

[@PoutyBun]

Jesus christ, .Flow is such an incredibly niche thing to be referencing, in a doomwad of all things, too. Amazing stuff, I had to take a double-take once I saw it. I love .Flow (That's my avatar, even.)

[@v4rr0lot3k6]

Very good community MP The map at 20:16 might be a reference to .flow (dot flow), a Yume Nikki spin-off.

[@Plasmaman2]

It is.

[@danlogo2360]

I was gonna say that... :(

[@leodoom8563]

Yes. The name of the map is a pun of .flow

[@karlandersson8652]

Big improvement, calm and sensible instead of memetic hyperspasms

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Archviles playing the organ? Seems the Doot Ensemble is finally ocmplete.

[@RevolverRez]

A little advice about the Pumpkin Head map (the Archvile teleporter escort level): They will head towards you from across the map, so you can just wait on the lava bridge and they'll eventually get to you once they're finished reviving everything in their way. Its annoying because thye're undoing all your work, but you don't need to go back there anyway once all three are through the teleporter. The only issue is their patchfinding isn't great and they can get stuck in crowds and on graveyard fences, so a little bit of nudging may be needed.

[@bloodrunsclear]

That first game, with the idea of pacifist monks hiring a mercenary to fight their enemies, might be based on the original plot of Alien 3 (which in an earlier screenplay draft was set in a wooden satellite inhabited by monks)

[@dragonhugger16]

Overall a very excellent mappack, just finished earlier today. Deep Sea is hands down my personal favorite for its intense atmosphere and excellent use of custom weapons/enemies to create a very unique and memorable setting. I personally found Alone in the Dark savagely difficult with its mid-tier monsters and stingy weapon allocation, but on the whole definitely worth a download. Now I just need to try and find a few of those secrets...

[@DaberuzJuega]

20:28 ... UMINEKOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@WTFBOOMDOOM]

That pillar texture (22:38) is lifted from... Sin (1998), right?

[@LuridRequiem]

12:20 Shout out to whoever put the Shadow Man sounds for Cthulu in there. The Trueform growl and homing missile, Shadow Man gun fire effect. Nice.

[@Grandmastergav86]

Lol that thumbnail. Spooky Doom maps - colour me intrigued. Icarus that "proggy" soundtrack is from the awesome "Deep Red" - a 70's Dario Argento Giallo.

[@ElasticTroubadour]

13:26 That's the room with the ash tray that kills you. One of the stupider things in Alone in the Dark, and it's got plenty of competition.

[@ThatNotSoAznKid]

20:31 I'm afraid to admit whether I recognize this character, 'cuz depending on where she's from... it was for a research project?

[@Videomaniac76]

23:00 Whelp, we lost Mr. Icarus. Crumpet, anyone?

[@DooMedSean]

My favorite doom mods are ones that completely change textures, weapons, sprites, etc. That underwater lab one was so well done, it looked like its own game. You could tell the Imps were just modified swamp creatures but still, it was done with style. I love the idea for this Spooktober map pack. I wish they did it every year for Halloween though.

[@PanCotzky]

This map pack is so wholesome I can't stop watching this review. Finished this map pack multiple times, with a lot of additional mods and I still want more. Can anyone suggest some weapon or enemy mods that can enhance the atmosphere of this map pack?

[@EnragedHunger]

Thank you so much for your fun-filled reviews of spooky horror mods throughout this October, Icarus! I really enjoyed your ever-evolved comedic touches you’ve shown with meme as well as your honest critiques. Happy Halloween!

[@alexrexaros9837]

The second level almost killed it for me. It's difficult, too large, really not appealing aesthetically, a pain in the ass go through with a giant Spider Mastermind you can't even kill and those damn fucking archviles reviving the dead. Archviles are supposed to be rare and alone, that's what the Doom Devs thought when they included him in Doom II for crying out loud!

[@ArkVogel]

You forgot "Hey there this is Mr. Icarus and welcome to yet another edition of Doom. Mod. Madness."
