EXTRA BEANY CANNED DOOM! 32 funky fun-sized maps in 32 fun flavors [RC2] (2024)

This is afull megawadof funky, gimmicky and mostly small maps with a wide variety of themes, ideas, and gameplay styles. There's a bit of something in here for everybody: run-and-gun action, suspense and atmosphere, slaughter, indoor maps, outdoor maps, hell maps, space maps, classic-style, '94-style and some whackadoo sh*t I can't even give a description to, to name just a few. You'll just have to get your feet wet and see for yourself!

You may have played some of these in theirprevious incarnation, back when this was just a handful of silly little speedmaps I was throwing out. In fact it really started as a single map (that's MAP18 now) which I contributed to @Dusty_Rhodesneat speedmapping threadat the time (without which/whom this absolutely would not have happened). It got me rethinking my usual mapping workflow and penchant for makingreallybigmaps, helping me keep down sprawl and put down map features without overthinking any of it too much. It still took two and a half years to get the whole thing done but that's been with alotof other things going on.

The mapping process (theoretically) went something like this:

🫘30 minutes to draw the overall layout, inc. rooms, sector heights, doors, lifts etc.
🫘minutes to texture, place monsters, add detail if time permits
🫘minutes to tweak it until I actually like it

Actual build times mostly between 1.5 and 10 hours because I either forgot the rules or made layouts that were way too ambitious. At any rate in spite of the "speedmap" genesis of the idea I didn't forbid myself from going back and modifying maps to make them more fun or more fully realized—as long as I wasn't adding entire new areas and onlyadjusting what was already there. Nonetheless speed remained core to the project because I'm a busy man and I knew it would never see the light of day or just peter out otherwise (seemy other much more long-festering mapping project.)

Why "Extra Beany Canned Doom"? Because:

🫘Like beans, the maps are small and proteiny
🫘Also like beans, there are exactly 32 of them
🫘Like canned food, the maps are quick to make and play
🫘Like Doom, the maps are full of Doom enemies and textures
🫘"Beany" is a funny word lol beany
🫘I actually hate beans so I'm motivated to make the maps extra good to compensate

Special thanks to all the playtesters who contributed in ways great and very great to making this less of an incoherent mess than it would have been otherwise. @baja blast rd.@Biodegradable@CBM@Clippy@Dubbag@Dusty_Rhodes@FEDEX@Fernito@Gibbonjade@kalensar@Kyka@LadyMistDragon@LoatharMDPhD@Maribo@NefelibetaNightriderDoom @Origamyde@azerty @P41R47@Sesamia@Silhouette 03@slugger@thiccyosh@xdarkmasterxThanks all for being subjected to this madness

Make sure to check the "how to play" and especially the big conspicuous "READ THIS" sections below. Beyond that, enjoy, and let me know if anything is broken so that I can unbreak it for everyone. I'll fix anything that's egregiously busted and maybe do some rebalancing if something is off from the difficulty intended (maybe start withHurt Me Plentyif it's your first time), but for the most part this should be done and I should be ready to move on with my life

Behold, the miracle of birth! Today we are witness to the hatching of the doomguy from its egg, truly one of the wonders of nature. Watch as it eats the gibs left behind by its mother, made of the remains of her mate.

What lies ahead for this young doomguy as it emergesfrom its nest? Most likely, ripping and tearing, and the struggle for survival that all beasts must face. The little doomguy wastes no time: look, a chainsaw left behind by loggers! Time for him to go gather some tasty, juicy gibs of his own, before the next mating season commences.

🫘Play with any limit-removing source port —it's mostly tested in Crispy but they all should work in GZDoom, DSDA-Doom, Eternity and the other limit-removing ports, and each map has been tested in them(but see below)

🫘Single player

🫘Freelook permitted, that's how I tested it

🚫No jumping or crouching

The difficulty levels are loosely balanced as such (noting that I am bad at Doom and that limits my ability to properly balance for UV):

🫘ITYTD:Go for it! A nice way to casually experience the maps with minimal pressure or frustration.
🫘HNTR:Same as HMP, but with fewer monsters. Balanced to be a gentle challenge for people who are new or just want a relaxed time
🫘HMP:The "default" difficulty, recommended for first time playthroughunless you're looking for a challenge. Same monster count as UV but with more kit.
🫘UV:It will get pretty hard sometimes but definitely not god level. Same monster count as HMP but with less health/ammo/arms
☠️N!:lol no

All maps are tested from pistol start—you can play them continuous, but if your port supports the -pistolstart flag or equivalent then I recommend it (see below). The maps are a hodgepodge of ideas with only the barest progression in theme or difficulty. So if you aren't enjoying a map go ahead and skip it! That's what God made idclev for (but I hope you enjoy most of the maps at least)

Reveal hidden contents

Since couple of maps take advantage of weird gimmicks like ghost monsters and some obscure-ish bugs with floor movement, make sure the following settings are set to YES in your favorite port:

⚠️Use exactly Doom's floor motion behavior
⚠️Ghost monsters on

⭐Infinitely tall actors off(if applicable)
⭐Lost soul limit off (you know you want to)

🫘Freelook enabled/autoaim disabled (if you use a mouse)
🫘Playing with -pistolstart parameter (supported by Crispy, DSDA, Woof!, some others)

I have the COMPLVL lump in there so if you are using a current version of GZDoom, DSDA, Nugget, Woof!, or some others then it *should* set some of these for you. However it may be good to check them nonetheless because a couple maps WILL break otherwise, and COMPLVL support is still rudimentary in GZDoom.
