SaladBadger Posted August 11, 2017 I love E2 style. The terrestrial mountains in the sky but with the red skies of hell shining over them. The spaces that look familiar, but the demons are slowly corrupting it. In contrast, I also like the style where it looks like the abandonment event was recent, sort of like E1, where everyone's gone or dead, but everything's still running so far and things are reasonably clean. Brick cities are also something I like a lot, though they're definitely harder to pull off with stock Doom 2 resources. 3 Share this post Link to post

What's funny is that I never did that sort of theme until SoTNR. Techbases were always my thing before. Now I'm hooked on it. Also, "her". 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted August 11, 2017 @leodoom85 The only others up in /idgames are Extreme Terror and One Doomed Marine. My oldest levels are living inside a zip file on my hard drive still. I basically did techbases and "attempted" hellish maps. 1 Share this post Link to post

Xaser Posted August 11, 2017 A slightly-less-meme-y version of my previous post: I really am a sucker for space/void stuff, hence skyfloors. The coolest forms of such settings IMO are the ones that take familiar-ish architecture (cities, ruins, etc) and chuck it into a cliche-surreal blender. void.wad is the ur-example for most, but things like B2B E2M9, Ancient Aliens, and many scenes from a certain as-yet-unreleased thing take it even further, I think. It's also a pretty cool showcase for a particular thing the Doom engine is oddly good at -- the "hey, that sky shouldn't be there!" effect is a powerful force. 2 Share this post Link to post

Csonicgo Posted August 11, 2017 Espi's Suspended in Dusk and similar style maps. I just like detail that fits the textures intelligently. Plus, I love STAR* and the gradients that Espi used. BTSX is very close to this style. The shadows on the edges of STAR* go so well in corners, too. 8 Share this post Link to post

You must mean Stardate 20X6 and/or its sequel, Stardate 20X7, though they're both more like 6-9 maps. If you haven't played both, they're highly recommended. 1 Share this post Link to post

Yuki Senmatsu Posted September 4, 2017 Xmas themed. A shame that they're one of the more rare themes 1 Share this post Link to post
TootsyBowl Posted September 4, 2017 I don't have one! I'm partial to techbase and Ancient Egypt, but you gotta experiment sometimes. Playing the same theme over and over isn't fun! 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted September 4, 2017 Egyptian / Mayan Void Nullspace (Black Sky) void Q3 Space DM Maps 'void' Hell void, as seen in Ultimate Simplicity Cavernous (moreso with vertex slopes!) 'unique' - that is, maps that I've yet to see anything similar to. I try to make maps I've not made before quite often, which has made me make maps on tree tops, maps in nightclubs, neon / cyberpunky tron-like maps, amongst other things. 1 Share this post Link to post
Captain Ventris Posted September 4, 2017 Water. I love aqueducts, rivers, water-logged ruins, the Dome of D'Sparil, and anything vaguely Atlantean. I don't know why, but watery places just do it for me. 2 Share this post Link to post
Endless Posted September 4, 2017 On 11/8/2017 at 1:59 AM, Jimmy said: I have serious love for a couple of niche themes and while I'm not fully sure why, they definitely seem to be the themes that I am most comfortable working with, and continue to dabble in. Swamps, jungles, gardens, vine bases Old/abandoned/ruined towns Underground mines Brick/stone/blood settings (like Inmost Dens/Neurosphere) Caves with colorful/bright liquids and/or crystals Anything with rain as a weather effect Anything remotely Plutonia Who else has themes they either love playing, or love mapping for? Almost the same, but I also love hellish themes, but more Silent Hill style. 0 Share this post Link to post
Royal_Sir Posted September 5, 2017 I enjoy well made city levels. The city maps in The BD starter pack come to mind. Dark and quiet techbases, a 64/Doom 3 feel. Large elaborate architecture in general like chateaus and castles. Maps that reinforce the feeling you're alone in the dark, and its up to you to try and find light or a safe spot, a functional tech outpost lost in a sea of decaying structures consumed by hell for instance. Anything that feels like some earth structure got sent to hell and you were sent with it. 2 Share this post Link to post
