Dragonfly Posted February 16, 2017 The winners were all good choices, I've no arguments that they deserve the win! Now that the results have been released, I will post my map for others to download and (hopefully) enjoy. I hope to do that this evening at some point. :) I'll post a link here when it's up! @Vargskelethor, thanks for hosting what must have been quite a tedious competition to host! I do hope you're willing to do a second one like you said in the competition closing post. As others have done, some suggestions: - Shorter maps - One map per wad - One engine only - Stricter 'pre-filtering' by those who played the wads before you did. There's a lot of my-first-map and meme-centric maps that were posted and while they've been fun here and there, most of them were unpleasant to sit through on your streams. Lastly, I'd be interested to know if there's any runner-ups / honorable mentions? I feel many of them were very fun such as A Boy & His Barrel, and PizzaQuest. 0 Share this post Link to post

I haven't played that one yet, but it seemed very well paced even with your "headless chicken that saved itself into 1% health in a chaingunner crossfire" style. I was not-so-secretly rooting for Xaser, but having something a bit more classic winning over the cool feature juggernauts is a cheeky nod. Good stuff! If there's one thing that you could improve about the competition... Spoiler holy crap, get better screenshots of the winning maps, they're artifacted to hell and back, and the winning shot is Doomguy complaining about too many stairs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Spocks_Beard Posted February 16, 2017 Maybe next time the maps makers should wait to release their maps till the contest is over? 0 Share this post Link to post

I took way too long to get through these, I can understand a desire to release it before its all over, so its up to the creator really. 1 Share this post Link to post

I have quite a lot of exhaustive (literally) experience in playing/playtesting mapsets on a short notice and to be honest, if someone gave me 150 maps to grind through, with names like "Mechadon" and "Xaser" in the list, I'd cry like a little girl and quit the community. It's too much for one person and it's quite admirable you pushed through what was obviously a thing that crumbled under its own weight, heh. If you organize a season 2, you absolutely must limit the content length, otherwise you'll be drowning in Doom maps for years. Cause I think the contest is only going to grow more popular! You'll get even more submissions from DW regulars who can crank out frighteningly big maps in a short amount of time! 0 Share this post Link to post
Mechadon Posted February 16, 2017 Congrats to the winners! I think all three were more than deserving :D I'll be looking forward to the next competition Joel :) 0 Share this post Link to post
roadworx Posted February 16, 2017 well, it was a fun ride, joel. good maps, bad maps, mediocre maps - they were all there. but it really was great watching you play them, i'm sure everyone here at doomworld can't wait until the next contest :) also, congrats rayzik for getting 1st place! 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted February 17, 2017 Well, damn! 'Tis flattering that my crazy pile o' linedefs managed so snag a seat at the winner's table. Congrats to Rayziik and StormCatcher too. :D Knowing myself, I'll probably crank out another thing if there's a sequel competition. Hopefully something a bit less brain-breaking though -- that was a hella stressful two weeks. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Sick Bow Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks again, Jobel, for the contest. I had a blast watching, and I hope to enter when and if you host another. As usual, I want to get off Mr. Bone's Wild Ride. 0 Share this post Link to post
