In short: Yet another low-effort TAS. Nothing special.
Well, I took a break from Doom TASing to revisit console TASing for a short while, and now I'm back at Doom TASing again. I didn't feel like revisiting any of my unfinished projects and something new to refresh my skills and get ready for Rowdy Rudy 2 release. Here it is: 1 Monster. Kinda popular so I thought "Why not?"
I knew from the beginning that I didn't need to put much effort into this map because the big closet outside the map, from where zombies teleport to me, is gonna be the bottleneck regardless of my speed.
Waiting for a monster to do 100 laps to finally cross 1 of 3 teleporting linedefs is always an unpredictable stuff. Hence, the perfection is such an outsider here.
I had to keep 3-4 shotgun shells for the ending though I doubt I would have saved much time.
This is a tool-assisted speedrun!

General comments
antares031s speedrun of this map caught my attention. I found a lot of mistakes in his run and the overall strategy was clear, which made me beat this map.
I never had a good opinion of Slaughter-like TASes because of their terrible quality, but then I tried it myself and became convienced. No, its definitely not my thing. Not only is it a poor usage of TAS tools, but also is a big time wastement. The software barely handles such heavy maps with thousands of monsters.
XDRE lags at the very beginning of the map, so I made just a small piece of input in it. The rest of input was made in PrBoom+. This TAS was made using slow motion in 61 segments (replay appends). Every time I needed to fix an error, I had to wait for a long time for demo to load because the map is filled with ~43k of monsters. Try to play it back using -skipsec 1200, for example! You will have to wait for several minutes before the footage finally shows up.
Route comments
The route itself isnt difficult. Just a sequence of switches, some of which open a specific gate of a conveyor, imitating a time period you need to survive until a door or a closet opens.
It was pretty clear that everything is pointing towards grabbing the BFG near the exit tower. Thats the only way to deal with 43k of monsters.
First 6 minutes were basically a UV-Speed route with some pointless shootouts which wouldnt save time afterwards. I even managed to perform an Arch-Vile jump with much effort because your jump depends on the angle of the arch-vile with respect to you. Basically, you jump in the opposite direction from him (like he is shooting you), not where you were running at the moment of strike. So it was very difficult to perform, and my jump wasnt enough high to reach the platform near the yellow key. So I had to activate the lift as well.
There are a lot of spawn points for monsters around the map, and they keep spawning until they all gone.
Possible improvements
I wasnt concentrating on a specific section. My objective was to constantly blast the BFG and prevent myself from running out of ammo. Unfortunately, it wasnt well done.
1. The northern section (where you start the map) wasnt fired enough due to the presence of big platforms which hampered my manoeuvres. If I keep in the same place, I get shot hardly. There were a couple of projectiles flying towards me for every second, so I had to leave the northern section for last.
2. I killed lonely Cyberdemons quickly. They could kill more monsters for me. Untouched Cybers died of infighting, so I hadnt completely f***ed up with that.
3. There were about 20 spoiled BFG shots which could do the thing faster.
At least, I managed to catch the lift to the exit at time =)
I think, about 2 minutes could be saved, but such long demo loadings didnt let me do that.
This is my first and last Slaughter-like UV-Max TAS, at least, for the next couple of years. I need a stronger version of PrBoom+ which would lift such Boom maps or, otherwise, theres zero point for me in making such TASes.

This is a tool-assisted speedrun that completes Unholy Realms quickly. It was recorded frame-by-frame in XDRE 2.20.
The gameplay is pretty smooth. Sharp turns are avoided, except for a pair of homely moments. Bruteforces dont feature sharp turns as well.

This is a tool-assisted speedrun that completes all levels of SIGIL ROM hack with 100% kills and secrets on Ultra-Violence (UV-Max).
I decided to share Roeblozs newly made hack in my favorite style. BTW, John Romero himself nominated it for Doomworlds Cacowards. So I hope, it will get even more attention.
I still find the control frustrating. Also, I think NTSC version is too fast-paced. I also found that damage random is much wider than in any other version of Doom (even SNES stays behind it) which made damage manipulation difficult. Bullets, rockets, plasma projectiles deal unpredictable damage.
BFG is a real stress-test for the hardware. The framerate falls dramatically when its time for ray damage calculations.
Ultimate Cacodemon boss was relatively easy to kill. With a bit of luck, you can stymie it, so it would receive most of the BFG rays damage. It has only 5000 hp.

I was examining SuperWeaponDudes incomplete TAS of SF2011 and found that Map 32 was pretty short, and I thought, why not to try it out in case I would continue his TAS, since we have savestates in DSDA-Doom.
Oh boy, it was quite complex! It was the first time I tried different RNG seeds to get a decent beginning of the game because it usually doesnt take long for Arch-Viles to attack me. Since I was naked (just 100 HP and no armor) and running on the open space for the whole run, I even had to shoot and deal damage to prevent those bastards from finishing me off.
Yes, the best option was to make Cyberdemons attack me and hurt Arch-Vile with splashes, so they would might back, but I could wait for them to finish their sluggish 3-rocket shooting.
The third exit switch was so tedious because an arachnotron nearby had shot so accurate its projectile somehow flew over arch-viles and hit me if I would run anywhere from the switch, so I had to stick in the corner for about 1 sec.
Surprisingly enough, I died two tics later after I finally used the final switch. Looks like those voodoo dolls on conveyor belts outside the map were made exactly for that purpose =)

The Talosian Incident was the featured article of June 2022 on doomwiki.org. I decided to give it a try. And stopped it after 3 TASing sessions.
I cant say what was the true reason of my disappointment. This wad doesnt look ancient like those released in 1994-95, but it still doesnt follow the formula of good mapping practices.
The pace is slow as hell when it comes to lifts.
To sum up, it doesnt look interesting neither to watch nor to speedrun.
