Nice architecture, and a really cool sky. Where did you get this sky from?

Bug:In the area with boats,I couldn't get any of the contents of the boat with the chaingun.
Edit:also,the megasphere secret is pretty obscure and weird.If you're gonna make walls destroyable by rockets,at least mention it in the textfile somewhere,as it's a very unusual thing,even in ZDoom mods.Also,you don't really need the megasphere,as the exit is just ahead.

Aside from these quirks,I liked it very much.Really nice atmosphere and setting.Can't wait for more.

I like this! Nice n' simple, really good looking, solid gameplay, nice n' subtle use of 3D floors. Keep making maps, my friend. :)

I really liked this map! Great atmosphere, great music, excellent environment...Very impressive stuff.

The only flaws that I noticed were pointed out by killer2:



Fix these two little things, and it's perfect. Do you plan on adding more maps to this "Swamp of Sorrows" WAD? It would be nice to see more levels like this one, because it's so well done. Obviously, that's your choice, but I'm just curious if you're going to add more levels.

Thanks for the comments =)
Update. I have edited the first post with the link for the latest version. It includes a new map, and some fixes with Swamp of Sorrows (now Map02). I fixed the items inside the boat that couldn't be collected, added a Berserk Pack, added a new secret area, and fixed the textures on doors.

I've just played through the two maps that are currently available.

Pretty cool gameplay, I liked it. I ran out of ammo, but punching demons in the face for a while with berserk wasn't that bad. I don't really know how you've kept me entertained through the first map which I was playing for like 12 minutes until I've found the exit with only 90 monsters, but good job ;)

I liked your architecture style as it was clearly inspired by Quake and that game had quite a unique architecture because of engine limits I assume? Still your maps reminded me heavily not only because of Quake music but for example your very thick 3d floors you were using in some areas. Also I liked the fact that your maps were quite wide so the player felt like an ant crawling through a castle (at least in the first map).

What I didn't like was the placement of locked doors. They were just so randomly placed and it made no sense. Every time I found a key I had to look at my map because otherwise I would be completely lost as to where to use the key. Some directions or maybe "landmarks" or key places in the map were a better spot to have those doors I think.

Another cool thing were the bushes or whatever it were in the swamp areas. Haha they looked even better then some bushes of modern games like RAGE (they use only 1 flat sprite in rage for bushes lol) :P

The waterfalls on the other hand looked like crap. The white spray looked... awful. But that didn't really bother me.

Last but not least I wanted to say that the house was a very cool location to have a fight in. It strongly reminded me of the movie L.A. Confidential, if you know that movie you will exactly know the scene I'm talking about. If you haven't checked that movie out - give it a watch it's a pretty cool movie :)

Oh and the ending felt kinda abrupt, but you said you wanna make it into 6 maps so hopefully it will connect nicely :)

That's my 2 cents, overall a good gameplay experience with some oldschool Quake-ish architecture to get a nice nostalgia trip from ;)
