It'll look more like nighttime when I add the blue fog. Like in MAP01 of the current demo.

Although the blue horizon is quite good for the eyes, as it adds some more peaceful colorus to that... valley. You'd better have a good excuse why there is a blue sky above lava realm...

ooooh. I like this!

I thought it would be cool to start Episode 2: "The Battle" with a landscape chaging earthquake and a battle with 20 Barons of Hell. I have a new weapon idea for this map: The Degrader, which will change enemies to a lesser form (Baron of Hell->Hell Knight)

ALSO: I might release a bugfix editon compatible with GZDoom 1.0.02 soon!

I think I just needed a few months to clear my head and work out new ideas. It would be a shame to waste all the ideas that I have. Ideas like large scale marine/monster faceoffs and some serious nonstop battlefield type levels.

And you said you quit mapping.

Thou cannot leave Doom!
muhahahahahahahahahaahahaha

Seriously, real glad this project still lives. Keep on mapping dude, this may turn out one of the really good stuff out there

Here is a couple pics of random ideas for episode 2. The idea for episode 2 is to be an all out battle. I have a lot of ideas.

If you want make episodes then make big fun badasses! and redetail the existing levels but only after Zwad

This project urks me so much I want to jump out a window.

I might do more work on it though. I will only do some needed minor changes to the existing levels. Any more work will mostly be new levels. I really don't like any of those existing maps. Heres what I'm thinking about what needs to be done to the existing maps:

Change a lot of hitscan enemies to projectile enemies
Finish the scenery, more detail (a lot of it was unfinished). Some things removed, some replaced, some added
Additional weapons in the beginning of the game
Add the existing levels to their own episode so that the new levels can be played immediately
Remove unofficial build stuff
Replace turret guns with something effective

zWad has priority right now though. So if this stuff gets done, it might be a while

There are some good points there. There are a few things I needed to do but was just too lazy, such as changing some enemies, modifying a few areas, adjusting a few cutscenes, more thorough testing, another weapon in the beginning of map01, etc.

Well, that would explain quite a bit. I think it was about that point I gave up and switched on god mode and no clipping so at least I could see what the rest of the mod had to offer.

After over a year, It's finally here.

1. Unzip TBFM.rar
2. Use the included version of gzdoom (or build your own with the included source) and the .dll files
3. Read the files in the docs folder of TBFM.zip for the credits
4. Load the whole TBFM.zip

Note: This is a 5 map demo, which is why the "you have completed the demo" screen comes up after map05 even though there is a map06

Mirror #2

Edit: A bug was discovered in map02 which makes fininshing impossible. There is no way to lower this lift, so for the time being, the area must be no clipped through.
