The WAD received one of the multiplayer awards at the 2019 Cacowards.Ĭontent Custom Skill Levels Razgriz led this project with some co-leading by Decay, but a bulk of the work on the maps was done by Razgriz, despite the seemingly large number of contributors. Unlike MXU's previous mapsets Don't Be A Bitch Remastered, Aeon Deathmatch, and Progressive Duel 2, Neon features far less map theme variance, being a more cohesive and comprehensive set in theming, detail, and map size.
The project started in pursuit of an additional 32 maps, but quickly lost steam, attempting to appeal to new mappers and failing, losing mappers and interest for quite some time, ending up at 15 maps. The maps use advanced port features such as 3D floors, ACS scripts, and the PK3 structure instead of the WAD format.ĭespite being the most ambitious project, NeonDM's production struggled. It is the Mechanix Union's most ambitious DM project, being the most complex in layout design, implementing the most new features, extensive palette changes requiring many new texture recolours for software compatibility, both random and dedicated game play mod support, and some of the most detailed work done to date by the group. NeonDM is a PK3 file for the deathmatch game mode released on Apfor Zandronum. This mod received one of the 2019 Cacowards on Doomworld in the multiplayer category!
