Author Info : Club tropicana drinks are freeee Description : Summer of Slaughter is the tenth edition of PUSS, BluePineapple72's monthly speedmapping series. Mappers were challenged to create a slaughter map within 12 hours. It was created in the Summer of 2021 with the following rules*: + 12 Hour Mapping Time Limit + REQUIRED: OTEX + Make maps 'grandiose' + ARENAS CANNOT BE TOO LARGE + YOU MUST USE HORDES. AND QUITE A BIT OF THEM + KEEP MAP TIMES UNDER 40 MINUTES + LIMIT RNG FIGHTS + EXPLORE THE TERM "SLAUGHTER" * After some time of submissions being open, discussions were had as to how closely we would stick to stricly enforcing this ruleset. As you'll find, some maps may take longer than 40 minutes, and some arenas are rather large. At the end of the day, I think these maps are a wonderfully diverse collection of unique takes on the gimmick of slaughter mapping. Maps were designed for pistol start. Via MAPINFO, pistol starts are enforced on Zdoom based ports. Jumping and Crouching are enabled for some maps. Some maps will have visual errors if video mode is not set to HARDWARE ACCELERATED. SOS_BOOM is a boom compatible version of the Summer of Slaughter wad compiled by Danlex. =========================================================================== ** Credits ** Maplist :Episode 1: Knee Deep in the Sand Map01 - "Funeralopolis" - myolden Map02 - "Script of decay" - Astro X Map03 - "The More You Know" - NotTyrone Map04 - "Meltdown Madness" - LateNightPerson Map05 - "Premonition of Hostility" - Lorenzo Map06 - "Take a Plunge" - mememind Map07 - "Cenotaph" - myolden MAP08 - "The Ultra Sector" - Mike_C Map09 - "Morumotto" - Danlex Map10 - "Slaywatch" - Death Bear Map11 - "The End Is Purple" - NotTyrone Secret: Map41 - "12 Days of Slaughter" - Danlex Map42 - "Canned Heat" - NotTyrone Episode 2: The Shores Map12 - "Lightning over the Beyond" - Peccatum Mihzamiz Map13 - "Broodgate" - Death Bear Map14 - "The Forgotten Offering" - Peccatum Mihzamiz Map15 - "Crimson Affinity" - el inferno Map16 - "Thou Art in Heaven" - Heich Map17 - "Caco Machine" - Muumi Map18 - "Divine Escalation" - Chookum!

The credits map is incomplete for Boom. **MAP46 INFO** Since I'm spending extra special time working on the level, I have a placeholder "Coming Soon" map to fill up the mapslot untill I finally get around to finsihing the map. It's there to reward the player for finding a rather well hidden secret exit on Map45. A strange nodebuilder problem I've had with slade has caused some levels (namely this one) to display incorrect information to the player, such as par times, sector sizes, monster counts etc. etc. To return to the standard map list there is a provided exit switch which will end the map. Apologies again that Map46 is taking so long. I should have it finished in a few days from initial release. SPOILERS: Secret exits are on Map05, Map15, and Map27.
