About This File

6 maps made during the eleventh Abyssal Speedmapping Session in the space of two hours, with 15 minutes for music and texture selection and 15 minutes for bugfixing. Each mapper had 3 themes to choose from:

- Haunted mansion - Catacombs/crypt style thingimajig - Nightmare sequence(think Silent Hill and Cry of Fear)

Minigunner, 4shockblast and Mugsy used the Alfonzo treatment.

This is not the best ASS, and the experience can be bumpy, but I enjoyed how cheeky it is. It also lacks padding, which is only a bad thing if these puns are interpreted too literally. 

 

Summary: 
 

- reasonably idea-rich on a moment-to-moment level. the "nightmare sequence" theme was very good, and every author who used it interpreted it in some strange way. 
- solid atmosphere and visuals (bathing everything in darkness does wonders for bare speedmapped visuals).
- gameplay has some unusual bits (punching stuff in the dark; going semi-pacifist at times when you don't have enough ammo to kill stuff or if you don't want to chainsaw lots of spectres). I liked those aspects, but they might be divisive. 
- brief: with six very short maps, it was over before it outstayed its welcome. 
- rough execution at times, as you'd expect from a two-hour speedmap session. also some softlocks in map01 (a coffin?! feels intended lol) and map03 (ZDoom-only lift). 

 

Nothing special but I enjoyed myself. The two people who gave the first three reviews were overly harsh; it's not that awful. :)

Not the best, but also not as bad as you might think. Very short and spooky maps with some nice flavour here and there. Obsidian def did an interesting job at trying to kill your sanity with MAP02 (uses some Cry of Fear music) which is quite the, uh, surprise, thanks to some very neat, albeit, annoying tricks. I would recommend if you want to play something very quick and quite funny with just enough spooky sprinkled here and there.

 

Jimmy takes the cake for best map this session.

Slightly better than your average ASSS, but still bad. MAP05 looks suspiciously well detailed for 2 a map that was made in 2 hours.

Sorry mates, but as limited build time is no excuse for poor results: 1* + 0 bonus points for the near zero effort. BTW Given the ratings here, maybe it's an idea to try creating some more serious maps instead of this throwaway stuff. Have fun anyway.

I'd rather eat out the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk than play this wad, ever again. And I'm dead serious too.

      One of the classic megawads, and the successor to TNT Evilution. I've played this several times over the years, and its grown on me more with each play as my tastes mature.   Still has a bunch of maps that got me killed in 2024, after ive finished stuff like HR and AV, and plenty of maps are memorable. Only real downsides is some of the levels have little content, showing its age.

      One of the earliest Doom user maps and It shows. Despite the raw and empty design, the author take a good use of 3D space creating a small fortress surrounded by mountains, the level Is fun to play and not hard. A fancy escapade and a piece of modding history.

      Third and final released map of a WIP episode by David Rager, it's more long, complex and hard than the previous entries in the series. A well made map with pretty challenging parts with a mix of monster usage, envoirnmental hazards and some puzzle gameplay. Fun but pretty harsh.

      Two more misplaced DM maps without a exit like QUDOOM (that at least had a exit room, while not functional) that caught me by their file name and leave me for the bad experience in SP. Chicken is just a long bridge between a thundering abyss where cyberdemons wants to destroy you, meh. Gangstar is a more fun map sets in a big, abstract warehouse where a cyberdemon roam free trying to kill you, shotgunners and lost souls are here in this Hell corner adding more pain to the thing, enforced by semi-hidden mazes, my favorite.

      This is like the physical version of the "we have X at home" meme in DM map format for Quake E1M1. Very poorly made, broken exit and missing textures here and there but at least the level KINDA resembles the original source somehow.
