Description
Taking well over three months of time, and roughly one month of time spent actually working on the wad, Quicky2.wad, Coils of the Twisted Tale, barely lives up to the Quicky# ideal. However, each individual section of the map, which in itself represents a small map with its own theme and music, was done quickly. Phobus' seventh release is a map which represents an entire episode of short maps, following a linear progression through the areas, which in themselves range from non-linear areas to straight forward run 'n' gun gameplay.
The map is very progressive, with weapons, monsters and pickups being planned out for an engaging and challenging experience, with various beautiful locales and environments. The gameplay was made using a lot of old ideas from Phobus' unreleased wads, which contribute largely to the oldschool feel and planned fashion of the wads creation.
Features:
- 1 large, 10 section map with medium-high detail
- 9 different tracks, 1 of which is an MP3 remix of D_E1M1 by Bouncy
- New sprites for the boss brain
- Oldschool gameplay, with a steepening difficulty curve
- Many secrets to find in order to make playing the map easier
- Mid level use of ZDoom features, with some areas being quite heavily scripted and others being hardly scripted at all
- A bonus text file which has a background story for this wad and a few of Phobus' other works, linking them into the official IWADs stories.
Suitable for single play, with all difficulty modes implemented. No co-op or deathmatch.
Made with:
Doom Builder, MSPaint and XWE
