Now Playing: Utakata #Doom

Doomguy stands in front of a jade Buddha statue in a Japanese temple. Two rotten crates flank the Buddha.

Doomguy stands in front of a group of dead pinkies, examining a photo-cut out of demons attacking earth. A soulsphere takes Daisy's place, a Chaingunner is playing Baron of Hell, and an Imp is putting on being a Revenant.

Doomguy stands in a computer room with a description of the Cyberdemon that reads: Smart, Handsome, Tough, Strong, Fast, Powerful, PERFECT 😎

Doomguy stands in a Japanese suburb that is unnaturally dark and foreboding.

Made the best lemon-yoghurt cake ever. Bunt pans are powerful, I wasn't expecting it to work so well. #Food

Lemon and yoghurt cake in the oven. The oven is dirty. The cake is midway through cooking.

Lemon and yoghurt cake, with lemon syrup on the top. The top is crispy and shiny.

More of a test on my end to see how the compression behaves and what export settings are good, but as you can see I implemented footy in Doom. #DoomMapping

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Jul 13

I heard there's skeletons in that corn field waiting for whoever's foolish enough to grab that conspicuous blue key. Screaming and exploding dudes too. #DoomMapping (crop textures from Icarus: Alien Vanguard)

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Jul 11

About 1/3 done with town. About 20K sidedefs deep into building the map. Getting closer to working on the outskirts to surround the town and frame it all. #DoomMapping

A group of white-brick buildings with abstract, organic windows that clash with the rest of the town's architecture. A white gravel path is flanked by two gold columns.

An overhead view of town. There's a lot of buildings of different textures, shapes, and sizes dotted throughout. Some have verandas and others have windows and doors.

A service station on the right, and another building with a veranda on the left. (Maybe a cafe?)

An overhead view of the whole map so far. Dense in the middle, but sparse on the outside save for one large property on the northwest corner.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Jul 7

meanwhile here I am posting about a completely different sort of footy. #DoomMapping

Doom. A group of hell knights and revenants is on an Australian Football field. A building is off to the left with two doors, the demons are in front of seats, and off to the right are the goal posts. In the distance, the tops of buildings are visible.

CARN KICK THE FOOTY. #DoomMapping

Ultimate Doom Builder. A view of an Australian Rules football field. Teleport destinations are placed on the positions football players would take. A red skull acts as the football.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Jul 4

An abandoned mine is a decent place to hide a key. Town is getting more and more complete but I'd reckon I'm only 1/5 done so far. #DoomMapping

Ultimate Doom Builder. An abandoned mine shaft is on the left, with a red skull on a pillar ahead of a skeletal hoisting tower. Palm trees and cypress trees dot the ground. A berserk pack is also visible with a red X.

Another view of the abandoned mine shaft. Two houses are visible in the foreground, along with the road. Empty space waiting to have something put on it is further behind the houses and mineshaft.

A different view of the town, overlooking a netball court, a river, and an AFL football field. A big house with a veranda and a black roof is on the left, some smaller houses are off to the right. Vegetation is all around.

TERROR CALDERA Now in #RAMP 2026, now with lots of extra features that was fun to practice ZScript with. #DoomMapping

TERROR CALDERA

A hellish environment with colourful pillars, lots of grates to stand on, amid black stone and lava. Pickups and demons are visible on screen.

- Better Air Control!
- Lots of Jumping!
- Super Fists!
- Super Pistol!
- Lever Shotgun!
- Fast Chaingun!

Chookum's sigil is visible on the right as an identifier.

Big map for the next chicken wad is big and getting started. Jumpy map for #RAMP is jumpy and needs to be completed. #DoomMapping

Ultimate Doom Builder. A view of an incomplete town under a dusky sky. A tiny Doomguy for scale stands under a veranda.

Ultimate Doom Builder. A view of two structures (one squat, one tall) in a crater full of lava, connected by metal grates. Red and green light-pillars are present.

Finally got that shift-everything tool script working in the RPG game. Sure as hell beats moving everything by hand since I'll have to re-centre this map once it's more complete. (see Alt text for code transcripts) #Godot #GameDev

A Godot scene editor. A chunk of a map has been shifted two places to the left. The output stream shows all the tile data gathered by the function. The editor looks very busy and complicated besides.

$Godot Code used to shift the contents of all tilesets under a node around. ## Tools @export_category("Tools") @export var shift_amount:Vector2i @export var shift_multiplier:int = 16 ## DON'T MESS WITH THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. @export_tool_button("Shift Containers","ToolMove") var shift_containers_button = tool_shift_containers @export_tool_button("Shift Tiles","ToolMove") var shift_tiles_button = tool_shift_tiles func tool_shift_everything(shift:Vector2i=shift_amount): shift_all_tiles(shift) shift_all_containers(shift) func tool_shift_containers(shift:Vector2i=shift_amount): shift_all_containers(shift) func tool_shift_tiles(shift:Vector2i=shift_amount): shift_all_tiles(shift) func shift_all_tiles(shift:Vector2i=shift_amount): for node in get_children(): if(node is TileMapLayer): var tile_dict:Dictionary # Gather used tiles. for tile in node.get_used_cells(): tile_dict[tile+shift] = { # Write tile data with shifted coords to tile "source": node.get_cell_source_id(tile), "atlas_coords": node.get_cell_atlas_coords(tile), "flip_h":node.is_cell_flipped_h(tile), "flip_v":node.is_cell_flipped_v(tile), "transpose":node.is_cell_transposed(tile) } node.clear() # Clear Tiles for tile_new in tile_dict.keys(): # Draw New Tiles var tile_info = tile_dict[tile_new] # Get Tile Data node.set_cell(tile_new,tile_info["source"],tile_info["atlas_coords"],) # Write Tile node.update_internals() # Force update of layer else: continue$

Godot Code used for moving objects inside containers around.

func shift_all_containers(shift:Vector2i=shift_amount):
for node in get_children():
if(node is Node2D):
match node.name:
"Area_Container": # Move Area locations.
for area in node.get_children():
area.position += Vector2(shift)*shift_multiplier
"District_Container": # Shift the polygons of the District Collision Areas
for district in node.get_children():
var collide:CollisionPolygon2D = district.get_child(0) # Yes its jank but I know what this contains.
var polygon_points:Array[Vector2]
for point in collide.polygon: # Have to create a new array to replace the old one
polygon_points.append(point+Vector2(shift)*shift_multiplier)
collide.set_polygon(polygon_points) # Replace old polygon array with new one
"Layer_Transitions": # Shift the map layer transition buttons.

"Hello Gordon!"

A smattering of what I have managed to throw together in the past couple of months despite the everything happening at me. Check alt text for further explanation.

My Godot RPG game in development. Player character portraits have been added, along with an expansion of the HUD to indicate where your mouse cursor is on a kilometre grid, what neighbourhood its in, and the name of the area you're mousing over.

A game of Doom, showing a compressed version of MAP13 of Ancient Aliens, being made for a special project.

A Doom map currently in progress for Bantam Weight. A large clearing is broken up by clusters of trees while scores of demons flank a stone temple.

Another development screenshot for Bantam Weight showing what is involved in those rainbow light-spirals similar to Headless Chicken's MAP29.

Found a little guy while turning soil.

A brown frog, standing on upturned soil. The picture is a little blurry.

The reference image. It takes longer to place the numbers on the grid and keep atop them than to draw on the map.

An image of a colourful map with a grid overlaid on it. Some of the grid cells have reference numbers.

Sargasso was not built in a day. #Godot #GameDev

A Godot editor window with a partially constructed landmass being built. Roads are visible, as is a coastline, but not all of the details are there yet. A reference grid is overlaid.

I swivelled back into that map-game project and started working on giving a UI to the areas and learning more about Trees. There's so much to do, but the area interactivity is coming together. #Godot #GameDev

Thank you! Bringing these textures to life was a blast and I'm glad it made a splash.

* STYLEAWARD *
BEST UNIQUE CUSTOM ASSETS

Styleaward: "Overflow at the Water Factory" by Chookum

There was a lot of competition in this category, to be honest. Cane's 'City in the Clouds II' used all-original assets in broad strokes, while 'Cerise Labyrinthory' used a unique artistic style to bring an otherwise untellable story to life. However, Chookum takes the crown with 'Overflow at the Water Factory' - the cutesy pixel-art visuals that look like they've come from a SNES/Megadrive-era video game are excellent, and the attention to detail is exquisite, from the bright, vivid colorations, to the washed-out colormap of the underwater sections. Portable radios sit on windowsills, and little tufts of seaweed dither in the briny depths. A getaway car waits for you by the exit gate.

Additional to the visuals, this map boasts a sense of humour all of its own by use of its unique spins on the pickup messages. The map is highly compact, densely packaging all of its ideas into a relatively small playspace but by no means being a walk in the park, either. A lot to love here.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Apr 24

Ass so powerful it crashes the engine. (an easy enough fix but lol)

An irresistible force meets an oblivious object and the engine doesn't like it.

Also to get the dither effect on the light, that's not the result of a shader. That's just the sprite for the light. If I knew how to do it with a shader I probably would.

A series of sprites used to represent light on black backgrounds, with a dithering pattern (probably mashed to pieces by compression) that starts solid in the centre and slowly disappears as the distance increases. The light also winds down in large, obvious bands.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Apr 17

Been a bit quiet, but that's because I've been messing with light and shadow for the platformer. Got some very good looking scenes out of some experimenting, and I can't wait to do a level that actually takes place at night/evening. #Godot

A beautiful evening scene in warm colours, with a strong light from the side of a hotel casting shadows against the playable character and a palm tree, as well as a goon made of broccoli on the floor.

A man in red swings around a hoop on a grappling hook, blocking a strong light at his back and casting a stark shadow.

The man in red stands directly next to a lighthouse's main lamp and has multiple lights and shadows cast from him. Some of the light is so strong it bleeds down onto the building below it over the rim.

The man in red looks at a defeated broccoli goon in a tidal cavern with a natural skylight in it. A gentle light is cast on both the characters and some of the surrounding scenery, making it pop out.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Apr 13

happy birthday

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Apr 12

The things you do for light sequences is total madness behind the curtain. Only took me a couple of months to figure out how to conclude this map, now all I have to worry about is making the primary encounter work. #DoomMapping

Ultimate Doom Builder. A whole bunch of neon pillars in a grey rock room jutting out of a huge hole. The whole scene is fully lit.

Looking down on some cutting words the Demons have left for Doomguy, or Dumbguy, reading: "Abandon all hope, Dumbguy"

How the scene is meant to look: Ribbons of colour shoot out of the darkness into view. The exit sign hangs ominously over parallel rows of candles, leading into empty air.

The glowing pit from further away, with the words "Abandon all hope, Dumbguy" etched onto the ground.

Luca Pavone@lpavone· Apr 2

I programmed my first complicated enemy into the first stage to compliment dynamic entry, alongside heaps of other features. There's still so much to do and polish to apply, but it's all going in the right direction. #Godot #GameDevelopment
