About This File

Another small experiment made by me, reminds me of early 90's community maps.

For a beginning author, this one isn't too unusual, and one can only hope that troll comment hasn't cured SpiderDisease permanently from Doom mapping. A comment I doubt anyone would share if not anonymous. 

 

As for the contents, it is what it says on the tin: a novice-grade "proof of functionality" map. This one is painted not in STARTAN but in a wild motley of textures, as if mapping duties were partly outsourced to RNG. It's uglier, but worse? Maybe not. At the very least it's more interesting. 

 

The gameplay isn't awful, at least. It mostly consists of picking off low-tiers, and occasionally it touches on satisfying concepts, like letting you chaingun-plow through a hallway of hapless zombie stuffing. The map lasts three minutes if midway through you feel like changing your pants -- it's too insubstantial to grow tedious. 

 

If the author returns: it helps to seek feedback before uploading straight to the archives. 

 

Everyone else: skip the download and pretend I didn't bump this.

Typical newbie's first map. It has weirdly placed textures, randomly placed monsters and claustrophobic layout. Two stars for some action and exit place.

Kinda ugly and stupid with nothing interesting to look at, but it offers some action. Takes like 2 minutes to beat.

I'd rather drown in diarrhea than play this again.

"Reminds me of early 90's community maps", well you are not far off. It is actually more reminiscent of early 90's crap like MYHOUSE.wad or the other monstrosities from things like Maximum Doom or D!Zone. My advice is to study some good but simple 90's maps and draw inspiration from them.

Very simple map layout, very poor texture use, no decoration, awful gameplay. Overall: not worth a download. Sorry SpiderDisease, you'd better read doomwiki.org/wiki/Ti ps_for_creating_good _WADs before creating and even uploading your next level. Success!

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
