Hey again Arena Warriors, once more i delayed too much to post any kind of news in here, i have to admit my procrastination problems is what affects the amount of posts i do, but this time i have plenty of things to show in the maps department.
Rarlocan Main Base Rework finished!
In the previous post i have shown the progress of this rework for the oldest map present in the Map Pack now, so here's the latest screenshots of the new final arena it has, replacing the old portal one:
New Map! Horsemen's Rest.
During the entirety of 2022 i planned to work on 2 more new maps, one to fill the gap of the "Easy" difficulty label, since the map pack lacks any of those at the moment, and another "Medium" difficulty one.
So Horsemen's Rest should get new players into a good presentation and give them a smoother learning curve to play the mod:
This map may be an easy experience for combat, but players may still watch their step as being the first Sky Map into the mod, falling down into the planet means death (Flashbacks from Space Maps in Quake 3).
New Map! Ritualistic Nature.
The second map mentioned, the "Medium" difficulty one is set in a night time moon with a dense forest and non-linear progression for the majority of the journey:
The initial idea for this map was to invest in the usage of the flashlight feature, which currently isn't much necessary for the previous maps, despite some of them looking dark, there's enough visibility to play without the use of flashlight.
Previously i mentioned another release of the Map Pack would happen soon, but that soon never came, the reason for that is that i decided that would finish the tutorial map before doing that, however the tutorial map is still halted in development and those reworks and new maps came first. In the next release of the Map Pack the tutorial map will still probably be incomplete, the importance of the tutorial map is to cover all elements the mod have at least to the basic level and also show the new mechanics to players and how to use them, the problem with that is that i keep introducting new mechanics with these new maps i do, and with that i decided to leave the tutorial map halted until i feel like i won't be including any more map-related mechanics to the mod.
So far this is all folks!

Can you add Doom 3 weapons?
The goal is make a "Quake 3" (with all Arena Shooter stuff and etc.), but fighting "Doom Demons", instead of players. So doesn't make sense put Doom 3 Weapons, because this will make this mod a "Doom 3 on Doom Classic" instead of "Quake 3 on Doom"...
I know.... but I agree with darkyuri. I'd like a Doom 3 weapons option at least.
So you could alternate between either Quake 3 or Doom 3 if you desire.
=3
Well... there are a mod that is almost this:
xD (same modder)
Yeah.... I played it.... it's not what I was expecting. I was expecting something more like Doom 3 weapons and Doom 3 monsters in Doom Classic. This is more like a horde game. I'm not a huge fan. =P
Awesome mod! =DDDD
Also, is it possible you could upload the DRCore pk3 to Mediafire so I could download it?
I am curious as to how a Doom 3 in Classic Doom would feel. I'm not sure if it would feel the same or different. Regardless, the mod looks really nice and it looks awesome! =D
Never mind, I already found the link! Thanks! =D
When on Earth are we gonna get any of the maps in these screenshots & trailers?
This year will be the last i will hold this stuff, even if i don't finish them on time, i've been promising those maps since 2012 and never released a single one, more because i felt the mod wasn't ready for the maps yet, but now, with the content it have actually, i am back on developing them.
Good mod.
Woah, this is a sweet update. Thanks for the upload.
Np, i noticed you did a favor of uploading the 2.5 Versions as Add-ons here some time ago while i was unsure about making a proper page for the mod here, now i'll take care of it here too more because the mod evolved alot since i started it on 2011.
