Just a few quick screens of some history right here. These are Heretic maps I made in 2001. I thought I'd never see them again (hence, one section of the first is remade verbatim in a later map of the recent Doom episode I made) but on a long-shot asked @Jon if he still had them knocking around, since I vaguely remember sending them via IRC (or a link to my old GeoCities page, whatever) and him enjoying them.

 

Lo and behold, the man's a saint (albeit one with apparently MANY old HDD backups) -- and I was able to play my old maps. How do they hold up? Alright. Some of my old mapping mistakes abound here (cramped areas, too much symmetry) but otherwise I think they're pretty good. And well-balanced, considering Heretic's inventory system.

I am thinking on releasing them, unchanged, for posterity.

Do want.

@Velvetic Tip it on its side and you'll have all four of them ;)

Early WIP but whatever. This will be first blue map on Harvest:

This is my DMP 2017 map:

<img>

It is ready only for half. A few minutes ago I finished 100% map geometry and texture import. It remains to make the gameplay, arrange enemies and add items. Working out the balance, somehow put aside.

I give myself half an hour to rest ...

this looks absolutely beautiful. I love the geometry and the atmopshere. where are those textures from?

Crossposting this but:

in fact, its composed of 72 tiles that will go up and down randomly during the fight :)

@Tango Thanks very much. :D

I use here stuff from Ancient Aliens Texture Pack (not played yet in original wad :3 ) and cool sky from Mechadon's Sky Pack.

Well, that's a thing... 

Now I'll be UDMF'ied for DWMP.

Sky or not sky?

Definitely put a sky here. Also, the space shown here, as well as the lighting is a bit bland. I would done down the sector brightness for those pillars and suspended bits and maybe add a patch of grass across the room.

@CWolf I would thicken the boards on that thing hanging above the room, it looks really flimsy. I also don't know about wood as a reflective surface, lol

better or worse?

That's brighter, heh. The sky calls for a lower light level like 160. I preferred the floor before too. Maybe you could have some stone beams across the ceiling too

Polished wood sounds plausible. Mirror effect makes everything look extremely smooth, but what can you do.

how about now

Just wanted to check out how dynlights work with slopes and different sector heights. Well, it's pretty satisfaying feel I have right now.

I think that pattern works better without the sky.

yeah?

Just now, Matthias said:

yeah?

Maybe you need to put some glass. Grey stone, like, almost everywhere - it doesn't look right.

ok maybe I should stop, starting to feel like a spammer :D

Yeah, that does look better. Also, as CWolf said, maybe some glass spots on the ceiling would be nice. Perhaps two to a rectangle, one on each side.

I am not sure what do you mean by glass :)

@CWolf Loving the shadowmaps. I too have been playing around with them. :)

Oh wait, Heretic doesn't have that glass by default. I suppose you could use that ice from the previous picture.

... al-most... I suppose you need to combine previous attemts with current one. Give us blue pillars back, pal.
