These 3 levels where pretty good. Keep on mapping and you will get there :). Some pointers:
- Try to avoid inescapable pits (at least I couldn't find a way out of them)
- Some rooms are completely symmetrical, try to play with symmetry. (You could make a symmetrical room but add something special on one side only, hopefully you get my drift ;) )
- Killing lots of though monsters with only a chaingun, shotgun and SSG was no fun for me. If you add lots of though monsters also give some means to kill them a little faster :)
- Monster placement is sometimes also symmetrical. Try to spicen things up with some asymmetrical monster placement. That way the player has to prioritize which way to go and which monsters to take out first.
- Try to use the same amount of detailing throughout your map. Some areas looked pretty nice but some areas are kinda bland
- Map 01 doesn't have to be very very easy, I found it lacking any form of challenge. Maybe spicen this up as well
- New monsters are not really my thing but I would also avoid them because you are still learning. Start with the basic monster set and after you master that you can advance to custom monsters.
Hope you find my pointers useful. Remember this is my opinion so wait for some more feedback before you decide to change things. We all have different tastes and ideas :)
Cheers!
