Just tried this mod out. Although I've only made it to Level Two so far, I can say that the features are - for the most part - presented to the player very well. It's done in a way that the player finds interesting, but it takes care not to overwhelm him. I love how you can't find all the secrets the "traditional" way, but have to take things a little bit further to unveil everything.

My only gripe is introducing the destructible barrel in the vine area; you don't even get a clear view of the object before you destroy it by accident. But it's probably been said before.

Level 9 was a masterpiece. The player's starting point does not become one isolated place that is just left behind, it is placed in such a manner that you keep coming back to it. Just a huge palette of walls, textures and guards waiting to track you down. Feels so wide and open yet so crammed and tense in places. Wilhelm's boss level was very clever; again a large, open feel that sees all boss level cliches flushed down the toilet.

I agree. Technicolor was a very interesting design (if that's the still the map in Level 9 for this version).

Somebody on moddb team took notice, wow (moddb banners)

[Cyanosis]

I was impressed to see that made the header, very good stuff!

[doomjedi]

Thank you, I was surprised as well, it's a big honor, for Wolf3D mod - maybe a unique one, non of our previous sets made it to moddb head page like that.

[fraggeur]

I am playing and enjoying this mod, I am at level 7 right now.... looking forward for my next game session

[linuxwolf]

Thank you very much fraggeur. Have fun!

[MrWolfForever]

I recorded Level 1 of this, good introductory level without being too short. Commentary appreciated; the more I get, the greater my motivation to continue on!

Well played!

[MrWolfForever]

Thanks! I should have your first level up tomorrow (Wedneaday).

[doomjedi]

Cool, thanks, will watch the video

You can expect this is not our last release of "eisenfaust editions"
So keep tuned

[MrWolfForever]

I hope It's not last! Maybe even port SODXT 1 to such?

Level 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCKl0yGWYFA

[ronwolf1705]

It's a tough one, especially the beginning (with the added mutants on top). You handled it very well!

[MrWolfForever]

Thanks! Are you saying Level 3 or Level 4 is tough? Level 4 from practice seemed harder than Level 3.

Also what does 'added mutants' refer to? It was my impression that in the EE, all mutants from the original SODXT2 were either kept as is, replaced with melee mutants, or replaced with mutant in a barrel.

[ronwolf1705]

I was referring to level 3. And I though there were more added, but it's been a while since the original.

[MrWolfForever]

How do you get the new weapons (melee and dual chaingun) shown in the screenshots in the first post? I didn't get either of those on Level 1 or any of the first four levels. Can use spoiler if desired (or send personal message).

Well, it's logical

Quote:

The player can pickup the dual wielded chaingun from Hans after killing him.

[MrWolfForever]

The screenshots imply you can get these items on Level 1. There is no Hans I found in Level 1 (or 1-4). And the melee mutant didn't drop any item I could pick up.

[doomjedi]

Well, I do those promotional shots with weapon cheats, to make screens faster (using the first level, same was for SplitWolf screens and others)...
So everything promised is there...just not in level shown.
The same with the cleaver and such. It's about making screens faster, didn't want to mislead.
This mod has alot of things going on, slowly introduced.

[MrWolfForever]

Which is good. Sorry it had just confused me.

[Ubermutant]

Fooled me too
Until now, I wouldn't've thought that you'd get those weapons much later in the game
I've just started Map09, enjoying it so far

[MrWolfForever]

Time for Level 4!

[linuxwolf]

You have some nice skills. Excellent ammo management and threat mitigation. This is the kind of play I wanted to see.

I've watched level 3 and 4 videos. Well done dealing with the heavy SS in level 3 and ghosts in level 4.

[MrWolfForever]

Are the heavy SS the StG guys? Or the Chaingunners? Sorry just confused.

Thanks a lot for the commentary/complimentary, I really appreciate it and the more the better. I'll try to keep best strategies going forward as well.

Level 19 (Secret Level 1) is also up now:

[linuxwolf]

The heavy SS are the big blue chain-gun carrying dudes.

You're welcome. I'll be watching these videos as you go along.

[MrWolfForever]

Thanks for clarifying. Feedback/commentary always appreciated, in fact it is absolutely THE biggest motivator for me. Level 19 is up & Level 5 should be around Monday.

I so wish there would be an EE for the other SoD Extreme, has some cool looking map designs for sure...but I LOVE having just that bit of extra 'spice' (i.e. some new features/mechanics relative to the original game) in my Wolf3D mods.

[linuxwolf]

I love spicy feature additions too.

Im looking forward to the next installment of your video series.
