DooMBoy Posted August 11, 2003 Just out of curiosity, how long do you think it took for the level designers of these games to do the levels that make up said games? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted August 11, 2003 For maps like Fortress of Mystery, Sacred Grove, and Dark Citadel, it was mostly likely a few hours, but for maps like Spawning Vats and Heresiarch's Seminary, it might have taken at least a week or two to make. I'd say the average time per map is around 3 to 5 days. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grogglogobofink Posted August 12, 2003 actually, this makes me curious. is there a list somewhere of who made what heretic levels? to be more on the point, the only map i know how long it took is E4M2 of doom, which took romero one night to make :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Oh, and btw, I heard that Romero made E4M6 in just six hours. 0 Share this post Link to post

ellmo Posted August 14, 2003 I think I can be as quick as him after a few hours of training. Now I'm making quite large maps within two days. 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh, I think you could make fortress of mystery on like 10mins. :P I still don't get why sandy thought it was his best design, maybe it has something to do with that it is the only map he made himself...

Uhm, I think you heard wrong. I am deadly sure it is e4m2, like 99.99%. If you can find the page there is saying e4m6 made on 6hours, I will change my view. But until then... 0 Share this post Link to post
