Okay I've started the map, it is inspired by a level called Absolute Evil (NDCP2), but I'm hoping it still has some originality in it. The surrounding scenery needs a lot more work, it will be easy to do once all the structures are done.

Some screenies to look at:

Looks nifty! I'd suggest brightening up the areas underneath F_SKY1, though, and using a light transfer on the lava to make it brighter, possibly fullbright. Everything looks really dim currently, other than the bright sky (which makes the map look even dimmer due to the contrast).

Looks great it sure looks like you got inspiration from the NDCP2 version, your careful aligning of the gstone textures makes me happy.Sticking more effort into properly aligning textures really improves any map, no wierd cut offs I like that.

Good luck with the map.

Thanks for the comments. Sure is hard work aligning with the marbles, urgh. Fun though :) I'll definitely complete the map, I am immune to the CCCC (CommunityChest chronic curse). :p

I've done the lighting changes as you suggested Essel, I must say it is probably better. The floor has the light transfer, light intensity's maximum.

Thanks, it's sure great motivation reading the comments.

Progress: maybe around 25%

I'm trying to make this somewhat hard-ish but fun to do so. Plenty of health and ammo for a semi-slaughter at the start. My intent for this map is when the player has the two keys, then he can gain access to the castle where even harder obstacles will surface. The castle will be the residence of the baphomet. Surrounding environment will be done last for the polishing process.

Is Ragnorak a good name? It's a word for "doom of the gods" in scandivanian, I think...

That name is quite overused imho, from wikipedia:

in video games:

* Ragnarok Online, a MMORPG
* Ragnarok Online 2, a MMORPG, sequel of Ragnarok Online
* Ragnarok (video game), a rogue-like computer game
* Ragnarok, a recurring name in the Final Fantasy video game series, usually being a weapon
* Ragnarok (MUD), a Multi-user Dungeon game available over telnet
* Ragnarok, in the Max Payne series, the name on which the nightclub "Ragna Rock" is based
* Ragnarok: The Search For Aasgard (and Ragnarok DM), a Doom level-pack currently in development by TeamTNT
etc.....

Other cool names include:

Styx, Lethe, Cocytus, Acheron, Phlegethon - all Greek mythology names for rivers in the underworld. Most of these have already been used in Doom mods at some point or another.
Hel, Niflheim, Muspell - parts of the Norse underworld. Hel might actually work better than it appears.
Tartarus, Gehenna - Greek underworld names.

That's all I got for now, but another quick cruise on Wikipedia could well unearth even more cool names (read: more names that are cool). :P

Ah, Tartarus. The extra special Bad hell in greek mythology. There had better be some guy pushing a boulder up a hill or you will have some unhappy customers.

Dante's Inferno could also be mined for names, but both that and the Greek mythology vein are almost entirely depleted.

All good suggestions, but I have a nasty habit of not being able to decide with several good options.....

Initially I wanted to call the level 'The Awakening of Janus' (Two faced god of doorways, gates) but he isn't demonic enough.

I guess I'll just make Ragnorak the development name.
