In this episode I talk to Ribbiks, the man behind cacoward winning wads like Stardate 20x6, Swim with the Whales, and Sunlust with co-author Dannebubinga. A defining mapper in the slaughter scene, Ribbiks has been a massive inspiration to a huge number of Doom community members and he continues to impress with his latest release, Jump Wad, a (somehow) MBF compatible jumping puzzle wad made with Grain of Salt.
We talk about the early slaughter scene, making Sunlust with Danne, the importance of atmosphere and midi selection, and I stump him with a wad he thought he'd never talk about.

Thanks for making these - Listening to your interviews with so many prolific mappers in the community always gets me in the mood to map!

It's so amazing to have Ribbiks' insight... such a cool dude. Great chapter man, keep up the good work

I think idea of slaughter mapping as "outsider art" kind of fits, especially in that pre-2012 time back when slaughter maps were basically guaranteed newstuff dramafests. At times it seemed like there were maybe a handful of people they actually appealed to, and they were all pretty active mappers/runners with sensibilities way outside the norm.

man I have wanted this exact kind of thing for years - while the doomworld forums are awesome, it's hard to really put together any good idea of who the community members and mappers really are. I literally have hoped that someone would do exactly this - and your results are excellent. stoked AF to listen to the rest of the episodes on Spotify during my 45 mile commute each morning!

Cyriak (Mouldy) actually has a sort of solution for the problem that Ribbiks talks about on how to incentivize people to play on lower difficulties before trying the max "hardcore" difficulty, which is to make a "new game+", something Cyriak implemented on his lastest wad. So in a wad like Magnolia, the hidden UV difficulty could simply be the maps on slots 4 to 6, without overwriting the normal maps 1 to 3. Does that make sense? I'm having difficulty in explaining xD

Very aware of Mouldy's solution! Overboard was fantastic :)

It’s cool as hell you’re doing this stuff man. I had just found those old Doomworld radio interviews and it was cool getting a view into the BTSX/early 2010s era, it’s nice to have updates with more in-depth conversations nowadays! Thanks again!

As someone who's only just recently finished my first ever Sunlust run, it was cool to hear from one of the creators soon after. Those maps are beautifully detailed. Respect to the mappers for continuing to make this awesome Doom content for us. Love it!

Very interesting to listen to Ribbiks describing the creative process behind Magnolia. I like how much thought went into it, it’s genuinely an artistic struggle.

This is a great idea. I have wanted to listen to something like this for a while now. New Grounds, flash games how nostalgic... Does anyone remember Stick Death and Crackhouse cleanup?

You know what could be a fun follow-up on the "how did you start with Doom" question - what made you come back. Because a lot of people leave the scene for years and return later. It often comes up in the conversation but it would be nice to have it a conscious part of the interview, I think. But that's just my 2 cents

@NirvanaYoutube Жыл бұрын

Definitely an idea. Usually if I know someone has left and come back for some time it's more packaged in the interview like with Gazebo so it tends to depend.

Aside from the wealth of knowledge I've gained from this interview in terms of mapping... I've also come to the conclusion that COFFEE doesn't get cold in HELL.

Ribbiks's general mindset is more or less what I expected, although I'm still curious on the details of what possessed him and danne to make Italo-Doom.

I believe I talked to Danne about Italo during his interview.

I think difficulty levels should be renamed Easy Medium Hard EXTRMELY HARD (And keep Nightmare!) With extremely hard giving a disclaimer upon selection that this difficulty is a special setting intended only for elite players. And hard being the standard level for experienced but not elite doom players. That way it doesnt feel like youre "supposed" to play the game on the hardest difficulty the way many people feel like they ahould be able to play UV. And extremely hard is framed as being a kind of bonus hardness level and isnt the 'standard' one. Its not perfect but its surely an improvement

Your voice is too croaky. I did not listen to it for long because it made me feel like there is something happening that I do not enjoy. Also what is that accent? I do not enjoy it. I won't be subscribing because I did not enjoy.

Very useful feedback, will keep 'changing my accent' in mind for the next episode!
