This feels like the end of an era.
Good luck in your future decino!
This isn't the end of anything, he's still got to do Doom 3... Been waiting for that for years! 😅
And it actually was. This is the last gameplay upload in his channel, over a month later. For someone that uploaded as frequently as Pumpkin Man did, it's kind of disconcerting to look at.
I just hope he is satisfied and fullfilled in being a father
10x10 and Auger;Zenith made for an awesome (and high-quality) pairing. I look forward to the Viewer Submissions, hope you get some quirky ones.
Yea i said this under a commment on one of the last videos, 10x10 is really refreshing when you play wads like Zenith or Stardate etc, 10x10 is a wad everyone should play, it mixes slaughter and classic together perfectly, and so does Zenith
Decino, I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss you playing this wad. Great job!
I like Icon of Sin maps (or more specifically maps that have the monster spawner) when they are well made and I think this map did a great job with it.
What really ruins Icon of Sin maps is the "timed elevator" gimmick, which wasn't the case here, thankfully. Lots of space to move around, an interesting arena and the monster spawner just adding a lot of pressure to the player. Also, Kudos to the devs of this great wad! :)
I agree--the monster spawner helps put pressure on the player and turns what would otherwise have been mundane, easily-cheesable slaughter into a much more frenetic and exciting fight.
And yes, the timed lift in Map 30 of Doom II (and derivations by later mappers after id's original) isn't a fun mechanic. Forcing the player to stand still and take unavoidable damage is not enjoyable or even challenging--it's more annoying than anything and for me, at least, kills most of the replay value of the map--or potentially the entire WAD unless the other maps are so superbly well-made as to not let that one stinker ruin the entire set.
This was a perfect WAD to play through blind. You only died once before the final boss level, I think. And yes, I really love the cyberpunk visuals of Auger;Zenith and its MIDI choices. The DBP crew made a stone cold classic!
That other death was a little cheap IMO. Opening point blank chaingunners behind the player is a little eh. Up there with "do you have the correct weapon out" roulette.
Definitely is the end of an era, decino, but it's been awesome going along for the ride. I absolutely wish you the success and happiness going forward, though I do hope there will be enough time that we'll still see enough of you. Either way, thank you for all the great Doom (mostly) content over the years. Fatherhood is certainly an adventure; good luck pumpkin man!
What a fantastic WAD. Perfect for newer players who want to get into modded Doom maps. Not too hard, slightly tougher than Doom 2 but not brutal like Plutonia. Thanks for playing this Decino, and congrats on the baby!
That's what I'm saying man, aa an average player at best we *need* easier wada to to keep DOOM accessible for many new players to come! DBP's wads are always super fun an rarely insanely difficult!
@@intheshadowofathousandbean563 Few wads are very difficult outside of UV, though. Lower difficulties exist.
Having the switches kill the Icon of Sin instead of having to shoot it makes all the difference for me. I think the map is really fun, and in fact I would have been disappointed if this wad had ended with a huge slaughter fight after being so decidedly non-slaughtery in all the other maps.
The song is a MIDI version of "Banglar's Army" (Final Boss) from Ninjawarriors Again on the SNES;
Yes! Hiroyuki Iwatsuki (the composer for this) makes the some of the most melodic and motivating progressive rock VGM. He even made soundtracks for most Natsume games. Thanks for clarifying this fact!
For an Icon fight this one is pretty good. Love the music and the map itself looks amazing
AUGER;ZENITH was truly an amazing mod to play. The Cynet Reaper is a fun final map to play. Do love the details of this maps cities, ad boards, rain drops in this game, arcade that is Doom 2, secrets are fantastic to find, and musics here are very good as well. Not only did the devs did amazing job here, but decino also did wonderful with these videos he uploaded.
Give a round of an applause to these devs here! 😄👏
👏
More like Auger of Sin. You get screwed by it a lot.
This was a blast! I really hope this convinces you to try other DBP wads, they're quite fun on UV!
My personal next pick would be DBP59: Zeppelin Armada. For both aesthetics and pretty nice difficultly
And the surprisingly involved plot.
If you haven't tried Emerald City I can highly recommend it. Some bangers in that wad. Haunted Hallow is cool too for a little storytelling and some sick architecture.
We don't talk about Cyb's Freaky Colonoscopy...
@@db257c
Oh no, we do talk about the colonoscopy DBP. What we don't talk about is the Steven Seagal DBP.
@@db257cFunnily enough I've also played those!
9:03 I think that rocket went close enough to take off your mustache. I like how a little later there’s an arachno and fat boy stuck together.
9:49 damn! What hit you?
Well... I'm gonna miss your regular videos on daily.
They truly have been a part of my daily mental health routine for the last few years, even rewatching a few older playlists(getting new comments on old videos, lol).
But I'm very glad to hear you're moving on and up in life.
I think you deserve it.
I look forward to whatever you can do in the future, Mr Pumkinhead!
Godspeed!
I think this is the best instance of an Icon of Sin fight that I've seen in any .wad, honestly. If you really get into the vibe they're establishing with the combat and music, and play like you're trying to maintain constant forward momentum, the whole map is just a huge rush and fantastic way to cap off the wad. It's a big power fantasy thrill ride. And I adore that BFG slaughter on the stage! It really feels like all the "LIVE at the Nexus!" posters you see throughout the wad are foreshadowing for this. Ooooooooo, it's so good!
"I wish you all an awesome day and yeah, see you soon". Sounds like my friend with "Last connected 10 years ago". Enjoy this new stage Decino!
Well, you can give their choice of an Icon of Sin level this, the crushers provide an extra challenge the spawning monsters don't necessarily. I also love that from the demons' perspective, you're live in concert, here to give them a show to remember.
I really enjoyed your walk through of this wad you did an excellent job.
No matter what kind of day I've had, a caco cloud always makes me happy.
Excellent series, decino! Definitely looking forward to your viewer submissions! Also if/when you decide to do megawad projects again, will you do Eviternity II?
Best of luck in the future to you and the pumpkin fam!
A great wad! After a minute I realized that they used the combination of the Icon spitting demon boxes and the crushers to keep the pressure up on the player. I know it might be a while, but I hope you get to play Eviternity II for us some time. I watched Vytaan's playthrough and it was so good! But I am looking forward to the next batch of viewer submissions too, tho.
I look forward to the "Decino eats it X times because baby pumpkin left him sleep deprived" compilations. Congratulations!
The MegaTen (Shin Megami Tensei + Persona) billboard at 1:23 is neat, noticed it in other maps
I'm fine with how this map handles the Icon. It's not perfect but a lot better than the Doom II standards.
GG on finishing the WAD! It's so good
Amazing wad, alongside 10x10
I honestly kinda liked the final boss, much more challenging and a "puzzle" to solve to kill the IoS
Also, these stop signs gives me so much Duke Nukem II vibes
I personally like to see a Megawad to have its own final boss, a custom one, rather than an Icon of Sin or a Cyberdemon/Spidermastermind fight
As a DBP fan, I am glad that you played and finished this. I know this last map isn't exactly what you expected but it's actually an OK IOS map with generous resources and a much more straightforward way of killing it. Hope you had fun and I wish you all the best!
I started watching you play this WAD and was really interested in playing it. but i had just finished EV2 thought ok i will try this out. I got to the point where you were with the uploads and really started liking the WAD. I found it unique where it wasn't stock brown walls mindless slaughter. Some of the secret hunting was a surprise when they were found. All in All a good WAD worth a replay just to take in the design.
An absolute banger of a wad. Thanks for showing it off, decino.
Just don't die lmao
In all seriousness though, this whole WAD was a banger. Definitely going to play through it myself with Hell Crusher.
Good luck to Ms. Pumpkin 🙂 Hopefully you'll have a doctor in the room when you deliver the little pumpkin! I'll still be watching the channel and appreciate the time to catch up on your fabulous content :-)
The credit map is a nice surprise at the end, really well done wad, lots of fun, great music choice and cyberpunk aesthetic is just a chef's kiss 😊
Thanks for the video and I hope one day we will se the Lost Civilization playtrough 🥰
Glad you enjoyed this one. Not the hardest maps but man, aesthetic.
Cheers
Another wad bites the dust. Let's see which one is next
This one got me on the edge of my seat a bit
And again, you nailed it, .. of course 😁
What a journey this was! Once by myself, then watching your playthroughs, I really loved this series! I didn't mind the final fight too much, found myself speedrunning pressing switches. After this, I decided to finally try out the Megami Tensei series (which this wad shares some concepts with). What else can I say? Truly a masterpiece.
P.D.: You probably didn't notice, but you were Live at the Nexus.
This was an awesome WAD. Thanks for the playthrough!
Hey, you wanted a combat focused map, this wad has at least one.
Anyway, thanks for doing this wad, glad it's getting prominence.
Also, I think they changed how the epilogue map looks? Originally I don't remember a skatepark. Maybe I forgot.
it's been a good binge, patiently waiting for more banger mega/wads in the future
Happy fatherhood, pumpkin man! Hope the baby and Mrs are doing well.
In terms of visuals this WAD is the highest level of quality, like one of the best I've ever seen in Doom. And this music after every level is just something out of this world. Awesome WAD and fantastic walkthrough as always, thank You decino!
I hope to see more megawads sooner or later and I wish you all the best in your newest life journey :D
Perfect for my dinner. Good job!
Thank you for showing us this WAD! Absolutely deserves the attention, beautiful and very fun. Good luck with all the upcoming sleep deprivation! 🙃
An exciting map, from beginning to end. Also an interesting take on the Monster Spawner mechanic.
Congrats on finishing another wonderful WAD, decino.
wishing you the best, decino!
NOOO AUGER ZENITH DONT GO!! STAY WITH ME!!!!!
The end of an era. The start of a period.
The end of big WADs. The start of simple WADs.
The end of a killing time of decino. The start of a very happy and cute time for decino.
All i have to say is: THANK YOU for all the time and effort you have put onto this CZcams channel, always bringing content for your 189K suscribers, and, I will repeat this all time, for giving me the courage to become a baby in Doom to become a slaughter machine. Thank you for all the time.
Have a good time with your baby, @decino, i hope it will be the best things on the earth to life.
Have a good day, see you next time.
God Bless you and your family, brother.
Amazing megawad! All your playthroughs are awesome! Great entertainment. Hope you are anyway start another megawad with kind of moderate/low difficulty level just to see a playthrough and the map ambience. Like this one: no grinding or numerous attempts, just a playthrough to enjoy visuals/ambience/story line. And good luck being a dad! Cheers!
Nice run pumpkin man
Excellent series! I need to revisit this one again.
This is a very creative and hectic way to implement the Icon of Sin without the frustration of waiting for a elevator. Also your reaction to when you realized there was a Icon of Sin, and then you becoming italian halfway the fight were both priceless. Thank you for another excellent playthrough pumpkin man, and good luck in your new endeavors.
I really loved this megawad, I played at the same time than you and was fun to play and then watch your videos
auger zenith certainly went out with a bang! what a feast
Sad to see this wad end😥
Well, I believe, this wad (along with Extermination day and Going Down) deserves the title of "Heck Mesa". Stunning visuals with a lot of Doomcute (I don't really like the "cute" part of this word), creative additions that imitates mechanics from later games, some fights... I can see why people like it. One day I'm gonna check it out too.
I been so busy caring for my sick elderly dog I haven't had a chance to watch any Doom lately. Really enjoyed catching up.
We've seen a lot of signs about "live at the Nexus" and this map has all the air of a concert venue, so I'm guessing this is the Nexus. If so, that was nice foreshadowing.
The only criticism I can give this map, though it is quite the criticism, is the use of slow crushers. The ones guarding the killswitches should DEFINITELY have been fast ones.
This wad is a work of art!
Wild ride. Also I dont think I saw anyone mention that the intermission screen music is from Phantasy Star Online.
As someone who doesn't really enjoy playing Icon of Sin or slaughter maps, this one was quite a nice finale. Think it mostly comes down to the rest of the WAD not being focused on that stuff so it ends up being a nice diversion. A+ for the WAD and A for this map.
Great playthrough! Really enjoyed it! Too bad it is over (for now).
Btw, heel veel succes en geluk met de aanstaande geboorte van jullie kleine. Je gametijd komt terug 😅 (ik heb er 3 dus kan er over meepraten😉).
Amazing brooo
The multiple glass breaking was a great homage to Bladerunner ❤
That is a good use of crushers, and it was a map with good difficulty.
Think of a megawad (10ish maps) that's Icon of Sin themed, where every level is action packed and harder than the previous map and each map has an Icon of Sin
(Joking)
Good luck, Decino!
whycon of sin :) great video!
We need Check It out! For your health how's care I don't care. Great job!
Civie11 reference 😎💯🤝🏼
Timestamp?
➡🗺❌
I love this was, and this series is incredible! Shame it seems to be all over.
BTW, where do you submit wads for the viewer submissions? I have a (work in progress) wad that’s up to 5 levels now, and it’s a really stupid idea that I’m having a lot of fun with executing.
Submissions are closed at the moment, but: submissions.decino.nl
Let's goooo!
Auger Zenith is cool and all but playthrough of ALL the Maximum Doom levels when?
Murder on the dancefloor!
Visuals are cool.
Mamma mia! 🤌🏻🤌🏻😁😁 Hai mangiato un bel missile! 🇮🇹
i just discovered your Channel like a 3-4 month ago and i already Speedrun watching all these blind run and my favorite one was going down and that infested submission. and it is so fun! like i know the video are chill but i never fell sleep because of how much entertain it give to me, keep going ❤
You know, I wonder if we could get a "cyberpunk hell" megawad/episode. This was mostly human with creeping hell. Probably an HR Gigeresque look?
Crushingly difficult level.
I miss decino so much! 😭
I don't know if you take suggestions, but if you do, I recommend day of the toys, great doom total conversion where you fight evil toys instead of demons.
Maps like this remind me of 3HA3 MAP30 which are… well more tasteful than your standard shoot a rocket into a hole.
Would be good to see you tackle those, nice and punchy speedmaps given the changes in your life. All the best!
Huh, I heard Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf theme at 16:24
I think Cino has finally proven he has what it takes to move up a division and join the Doom 3 community with me and all the rest of the cool kids 😎👍
Maaan this was a FUN final level! and it was also incredibly fun 'but unfortunately bugged and unbeatable' in Project Brutality on the hardest difficulty!
Icon of Sin fights are not fun, but this WAD was amazing.
Curious reaction to this map. I generally agree that icon maps are a little meh but I felt this particular one was a great implementation. I certainly prefer it to Ancient Aliens map 19? You know the one.
Just a mild suggestion: how about making a series with the doom board projects? Most of them are less than 10 maps wads and phew of the maps are actually grindy. It might be doable once the viewer submissions are over
I think this map is pretty good even despite the Icon of Sin. It's pretty short and you don't have to ride a lift to shoot the Romero head.
decino cut it short but that final text screen music. I recognize it. Is it from an old Sonic the Hedgehog game or something?
czcams.com/video/zILpjFqlOak/video.html
Boys we did it. I give this Wad pack an astonishing "Changed decinos Life" out of "Doom.". And yes that's after deductions that are the "final boss fight" and "has an arrow in it." and "Snail crushers"
Well,it was a long time,good video,just because of my curiosity,Do you have another job or you live with your salary from CZcams?
I work a full time job outside CZcams.
@@decino ok,thanks for the information.
Well, maybe it's finally time for Heartland?
It's just 7 maps and it's freaking amazing. Also an easy WAD.
God I'll miss Auger; Zenith
Now you can play through the entire series again on Nightmare difficulty for scientific purposes only, naturally...
Please do some videos on the mechanics of Quake 1!
gg
Do an elastic wall analysis vid.
What would it take to get an extended full 32-map Auger Zenith megawad?
I get Megaman X vibes from this WAD
Oh hey who is that new nerd?
Graphics reminds me of F-Zero on the SNES.
