I just started to build today this map... it could be a large map in classic doom 2 standards (map20, map25, map29 etc.), the style is a (literally) melted place between human techbase in the mountains and a hellish fortress and creepy red bright caverns that leads to hell... yeah, something like nirvana (doom 2's map21) in concept...

whatever, screen shot of starting area...

reminds me of the intro to that one goldeneye level in that snowy field. The one with the big satellite dish.
Looks cool so far.

And sooooo....

Actually, my map is technically finished (Layout is over, now i working on thing placement...) and yesterday i tested it on boom 2.02 (using dosbox) and works pretty darn fine, just few glitches but i think it could be fixed when i use the node builder at the end of the works...

finished and send to testers....

Gameplay on this is very basic though still playable. Health balance feels good (backtracked a lot when recording a UV FDA but by choice) and ammo is really tight (ran out during first successful exit but there were wasted shots and two revived barons). Here are some other thoughts I had while recording a blind run.

"Is this a 1monster themed map?"
"That opening to the red skull is really hard to see."
"Medikit in front of switch and I'm at 93%. Not happy."
"My keyboard stopped responding." (fortunately wasn't being attacked)
"This map has a 1995 vibe to it."
"Out of ammo, not good."
"Hmmm, lots of cells. I bet there's a cyberdemon over that hill."
"Frack it, I'm leaving (runs to exit)"

Second exit (not recorded) showed it's definitely possible to max though it may require using the first cyberdemon to take out most of the hellknights on the cliffs. Also missed some ammo near the end the first time. The blue key can easily be snagged without lowering the bars though that seems to have little effect on the flow.

Verdict: It looks and plays like a map made in 1995-1996. Could use a bit more ammo and especially monster variety and otherwise feels solid and complete when compared to other maps made in that period. Shows promise.
