LSD_Polyphony Posted November 15, 2019 Looking for some wads (Megawads/Episodes preferably) to get some inspiration and maybe learn a few things about effective level design. What are some wads that have gameplay that stands out to you, Or Has an interesting structure/eye candy and why? 1 Share this post Link to post
RonnieJamesDiner Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Some standouts for me (in the megawad category): Ancient Aliens Back to Saturn X Episode 1 and Episode 2 Scythe Part One, Part Two, and X - Ep1 and 2 Some fairly recent releases which standout for me (in the megawad category): Alienated (only 10 levels, but, great levels, good levels, really great and good stuff) Eviternity Lunar Catastrophe Mass Extinction Paradise I'm probably leaving out 6,892,384 other megawads worth checking out, those just jump out at me right now. If you blast through those, definitely peruse that link Bryan T posted. Also try looking here. And, now, I know you said megawads and episodes, but... there are some superb single-map releases that spring to mind. And if you play a bunch of them back to back, you can just pretend it's a single, mind-blowing episode/megawad. Some standouts for me (in the single-map category): Arctic Outpost BOOM Stick in the Mud Breach Brigandine Brood of Hatred Bury My Heart Knee-Deep E1M3: Toxin Refinery [Remake] Hurt Infraworld: The Hatehammer Miasma Remnant Saturnine Chapel The Quirky Domain The Warlocks Hearth UAC Invasion: The Supply Depot Edited November 15, 2019 by RonnieJamesDiner 3 Share this post Link to post
