Thanks once again for your review - your insights are always great and very helpful :) I took what I saw in your research stream for this and made the maps a bit easier in parts, including making it much easier to find your first weapon in 1000 Years. “Born on judgment day” was the song title I had the most difficulty coming up with a map for and I decided “you start very close to the end” was about the best I had. 1000 Years is set up as a mini-Metroid sort of thing where you can explore around and find secrets to get yourself more weapons, or just take the straightforward route, making the final battle easier the more thorough you’ve been... but I concede that 1000 enemies might have been a bit much in the end :) It’s odd that even though I like playing easier, shorter maps, my own WADs seem to end up more frantic and lengthy. I thought about a boss map, but the constraints of NanoWADmo meant having to skip one - maybe on disc two :) Thanks again!
You did a bangup job. Personally I'd say for Invisible man, you should make it so you only ever get the plasma gun and rocket launcher, to keep that self-damage thing going. Also, invisible Arch-vile at the end of the map, as a sorta boss, if that's even possible.
@@ablationer Thanks :) When I made the Invisible Man level I thought doing the entire level with self-damaging weapons would be too annoying but it seems people wanted more instead :)
Recently picked up an original pressing of Helloweens The Keeper of the Seven Keys from 1987 so its kinda funny that as soon as I opened UA-cam this video popped up!

I've had Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1 and part 2 for many years. Helloween are pretty decent and often amusing. I lost track and didn't realize they even made a 3rd one.
It's not one of my favourite Helloween albums but it's not bad (and King for 1000 Years is wonderful) - I chose it for my Nanowadmo project basically because it was quite short :)
@@ablationer strips out alot of the extras and focuses just on the beefy weapons. So no extra enemies or features. Attempts to rebalance too to make you a little less OP. Good fun tbh, BD tends to get a bit out of hand quite quickly.
This map sounds fun, even more with guncaster Talking about it Russian Overkill receveid a 3.0 patch Gonna cover again? (You know, an good excuse for fun)
The gameplay part is BDLite which is a streamlined easily extendable completely restructured brutal doom that’s built by davidN after he wanted to make a map using brutal doom but also wanted new enemies and they didn’t mess very well the whole things got a lot of documentation so it’s super easy to make new weapons and monster that are more advanced then just grabbing something of realm667
That sponsor was great, gonna buy me some Pain element-O's to eat while i play DOOM... And I was hesitant to play this but now I'm gonna give it a chance...
David Does Doom represent! Author of this WAD does some awesome WAD critiques on UA-cam, mainly to raise money for charity and to help new map designers.
This is probably the coolest mod I've seen reviewed on this channel. As a traditional brutal doomer, I can only appreciate the actual challenges presented here. Unlike the Hit-scan hell of my own BD submod
Your pain elementals cereal reminded me of "Kan-o's" cereal, which was the best joke image unlocked in one of the mortal kombat games, it was either deadly alliance or deception.
@Mr VT wall climbing and grappling have been parts of Project brutality long before doom eternal,same with enemy variety,arsenal expansion and quality of life improvements.
And who said that Pac-man concept was obsolete? Here we go! I won't be surprised if Pong makes an appearance as Doom concept. De-evolution is a thing. Doom is no exception.

aw, they took my name for a wad ive been working on for several years except they added "3: disc one" Ill have to come up with a new name for that wad since "Keeper Of Seven Keys" is taken now
@@DavidXNewton Mine was just gonna be 7 limit removing/boom maps in the style of Thy Fleshed Consumed and it was also gonna be called Keeper Of Seven keys as well but ive been a bit forgetful so i havent worked on it a few months
If you have "Appretnice is already a default skill" you should try launching it by dragging .pk3 over gzdoom.exe. I had this error after trying to launch it via the shortcut with -file parameter enabled
@@SyberianLynx i always drag stuff over the gzdoom exe I never use launch parameters, I had that same exact error, I updated gzdoom to the latest version and don't get the error anymore
If you have any other cheeky sponsor spoofs, feel free to add them into your videos. Doesn't have to be a staple of every video but damn if you got another good jab at all the UA-cam sponsored influencer trash, please add it in.
If I had to pick an album to make a whole wad from it, it would have to be Judas Priest's _Painkiller_, Black Sabbath's _Dehumanizer_ or Iron Maiden's _Piece of Mind_ 🤔
mod looks good. the only problem i have is that he uses brutal doom aspects. i fucking hate brutal doom. why does every modder think nowadays that all doom fans love brutal doom. its garbage its unbalanced. its pointless. just get rid of that already.
hold up. i know this shit. somewhat. Helloween hasn't done a part 3 yet. they've done part 1 and 2, as well as a Keeper of the Seven Keys: Legacy. if i am to guess, i'd say this mod is supposed to.. somehow be a spiritual successor to those albums..? far as i know, the albums don't have an overarching story or anything that this could fit into so.. i find it odd that it tries to a parallel to the albums.

What was your idea behind the whole premise??? Was it just that youre a guy who wants to take some special keys... Just to keep them???
"The Oh-Shit Shimmy" I am stealing that one Icarus
Pain Elementos?
Now there's a breakfast cereal I could get... behind! :D
I've heard it's kind of crappy.
Shit joke. Shit taste.
I could shit out a better joke!
What a pile of crap
SAAAAAAANS!
A map set referencing one of my favorite bands? Ok I have to check this out.

As a Helloween fan all i can say is this is fucking great and i didn't knew i needed it so much until now
I can't believe i would see a Helloween-inspired Doom Mod.
Commentary was beautiful, comedic timing and linguistic finesse was top-notch. God bless
I've had Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1 and part 2 for many years. Helloween are pretty decent and often amusing. I lost track and didn't realize they even made a 3rd one.

3:05 Ok, that's pretty freakin' awesome that the souls barrel roll like that.
Btw the version of Brutal Doom used in this WAD was also made by the WAD author. It's called BDLite.
What's different about it?
@@ablationer strips out alot of the extras and focuses just on the beefy weapons. So no extra enemies or features. Attempts to rebalance too to make you a little less OP. Good fun tbh, BD tends to get a bit out of hand quite quickly.
yes and it totally sucks. i fucking hate brutal doom
@@ProsecutorValentine Yap. Brutal doom is overrated. It's just a boring shit fest. Everything about it sucks
@Metal Videos
As someone who doesn’t want to play it, please elaborate.
This map sounds fun, even more with guncaster
Talking about it
Russian Overkill receveid a 3.0 patch
Gonna cover again? (You know, an good excuse for fun)
He live streamed today it was fun
@Robertino Tanos Yes. That's why they asked for it. Do you think anyone has any delusions about this mod?
@Robertino Tanos No
@Robertino Tanos What do you mean by "being over the top (not in a good way)"?
@Robertino Tanos Like Russian Overkill... Being over the top is kinda like Pillowblaster's "signature"

On afterthought I probably shouldn't have been eating a big bowl of lucky charms when watching this.
A REFERENCE TO HELLOWEEN, MY FAVORITE BAND ❤️😭
Oh look, invisible monster in the sewers! Where have I seen that gimmick before?
WE ARE THE KINGS OF THOUSAND YEARS~~

14:42 RIP his future children.
I was going to say I'd love to see a mod inspired on some Running Wild album, but then I remembered Pirate Doom exists
1:05 nice meme, gotta love these sponsors
helloween lyric thread, GO!
"Make the people
Hold each other's hands
And fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind
So do as divined"
that central Spider Mastermind placement is so *chef's kiss*
Lmao at 10:31 Icarus this how I feel when I play Doom
Helloween is one of my favourite bands ever. I'll have to check this mod out
I just can't help myself but I love the stuff you're doing here. :)
Very good. Been enjoying your channel for about a year now. x
10:38
Icarus is like "Oh shit, Here we go again"
This is probably the coolest mod I've seen reviewed on this channel. As a traditional brutal doomer, I can only appreciate the actual challenges presented here.
Unlike the Hit-scan hell of my own BD submod
Oboy, Silent Rain must be a bitch to 100%!
So, is there an actual connection with the album besides the map names?
6:57 - That looks more like it comes bundled with a form of Project Brutality to me. The gun at 1:40, for example, is the UAC DMR from P:D.
The switches in this wad are so extra. Love it
Your pain elementals cereal reminded me of "Kan-o's" cereal, which was the best joke image unlocked in one of the mortal kombat games, it was either deadly alliance or deception.
i love the creativity in this mod :D
I like the ending... You get the 7 keys, you keep them... No boss no problem, you just want to keep the keys.
I can't wait for Doom Eternal because we're going to get even more insane mods.
I think this chap is referring to good old Doom mods for the original based on Doom Eternal...even though doom eternal is just HD project brutality
@Mr VT wall climbing and grappling have been parts of Project brutality long before doom eternal,same with enemy variety,arsenal expansion and quality of life improvements.
@Mr VT play any map pack with jumping enabled.
@HentaiHistorian I mean mods for the original Doom games.
And who said that Pac-man concept was obsolete? Here we go!
I won't be surprised if Pong makes an appearance as Doom concept.
De-evolution is a thing. Doom is no exception.
If you want to do a revisit, PillowBlaster recently released Version 3.0 of Russian Overkill
Nice, now we need a Walls Of Jericho mod
Is that death rattle from the old Command & Conquer? Sounds like it.
The "oh SHIT" shimmy...dead
Keeper of the enemy spam.
Did anyone instinctively fast-forward when they heard, "I'd like to proudly announce my sponsor"?
this is genius! i gotta try this
Did I miss the "Caco puffs" commercial fam?
That button mean dead seem about right aslo did you become serious sams headless bomber
Fuck yeah man Helloween.
Better the pain elemental buttholes than Raid Shadow Legends
Finally, someone made lost souls cooler (slightly) 3:06
"oh shit shimmy" lolol
10:47
Thats what she said
I'll play this one just for the title.
I can't take my eyes off of those textures! Dang, where did he get those? Who made them? I need to get me some textures like that.

The oh shit shimmy Lol.
Oh, a DavidN project, nice.
Icarus, you need to revisit Russian Overkill. It got its' 3.0 update and 10 year anniversary.
Was that a Civvie11 reference with the cereals?
aw, they took my name for a wad ive been working on for several years except they added "3: disc one"
Ill have to come up with a new name for that wad since "Keeper Of Seven Keys" is taken now
Mystic System I got it from the album - go ahead and use the name anyway :) Would love to see it!
@@DavidXNewton Mine was just gonna be 7 limit removing/boom maps in the style of Thy Fleshed Consumed and it was also gonna be called Keeper Of Seven keys as well but ive been a bit forgetful so i havent worked on it a few months
I will press the damn button anyway...IDDQD and IDKFA for the win.
would you like to play half life residual agent just like play zombie edition as headcrab?
IcarusLIVES, Civvie, decino.
the holy trinity.
hmmmm... I'm gonna get that. look at my pfp for more than 30 seconds, and I'm finally animated. yay.
thought u would say :
indeed you need to gather 7 pain elemental buttholes lol
Can we nominate this wad to get added to lexicon?
Keeper Of The 15th - 21st Keys: Disc One
Are those effects from the mod, from brutal doom or GZDoom?
getting an error in gzdoom when I try to run it, anyone else get this?
If you have "Appretnice is already a default skill" you should try launching it by dragging .pk3 over gzdoom.exe. I had this error after trying to launch it via the shortcut with -file parameter enabled
@@SyberianLynx i always drag stuff over the gzdoom exe I never use launch parameters, I had that same exact error, I updated gzdoom to the latest version and don't get the error anymore
Everton 3 Liverpool nil? Not sodding likely, mate.
Is there a Doom mod featuring some good doom metal?
This is based of old versions of brutaldoom?
So how long until we see Russian Overkill 3.0?
Pretty sure this is Jonnhy doom and not pure brutal doom (rocket launcher has a fn nice alt fire that wasnt used in this video)
I really want top have some pain elementos now
Great mod👍
Oof so many numbers.
heres on to try if you haven't already www.moddb.com/mods/convoluted-doom
I would like to eat some pain elementos
Yo RUSSIAN OVERKILL GOT UPDATED AND ITS FUCKING AMAZING
Goddamn... that Silent Rain level doesn't _sound_ like that much fun at all.
If you have any other cheeky sponsor spoofs, feel free to add them into your videos. Doesn't have to be a staple of every video but damn if you got another good jab at all the UA-cam sponsored influencer trash, please add it in.
So, essentially, on the first level, just say "Fuck this bullshit, I'm putting in IDDQD and IDKFA," am I right. @ICARUSLIV3S?
No wonder i didn't had white key in first place, guess I'll cheat to give one myself
"The old shit shimmey" 😃
If I had to pick an album to make a whole wad from it, it would have to be Judas Priest's _Painkiller_, Black Sabbath's _Dehumanizer_ or Iron Maiden's _Piece of Mind_ 🤔
Why does discs one sound like a pun
Have you even watched the video?
I thought you were legit gonna sponsor Raid Shadow Legends or fuckin NordVPN
Maybe it is just for me, but man Silent Rain does not sound fun.
I made it and I think it’s the least fun map in the set as well :)
@@DavidXNewton A very cool concept though, and looks really well executed.
mod looks good. the only problem i have is that he uses brutal doom aspects. i fucking hate brutal doom. why does every modder think nowadays that all doom fans love brutal doom. its garbage its unbalanced. its pointless. just get rid of that already.
Tought they were complex doom assets
@@spacetrainbaby3737 no Brutal doom. Complex doom i actually like and i can clearly see the difference.
unbalanced? play project brutality with deathwish enemies. there.
@@GloomGenetics yes unbalanced.
Yeah, that map is a pass. If I didn't want to kill thing in a game I'd play Myst.
