leileilol Posted December 21, 2006 Looks more like a Simplicity insult. On your third screenshot you have annoying angled crate obstacles. Simplicity is more than a pretty blue palette. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, if you are planning on putting enemies near the crates, I'd suggest that you make the crates even and against the wall, therefore players won't get caught on them and end up dying due to poor floor planning. Other than that, keep up the good work! I hope this doesn't turn into your Sapphire wad, which I thought was very fun (played it many times), but others didn't... 0 Share this post Link to post

More like due to them failing at Doom. Angled crates sound like a ridiculous thing to whine about. Either way, I really can't find a lot of the Simplicity feel in these screenshots. 0 Share this post Link to post
quakis Posted December 22, 2006 I think the texturing needs a bit of work or tweaking, something about it makes it looks quite bad compared to some of your previous stuff, in my opinion 0 Share this post Link to post
Dutch Doomer Posted December 22, 2006 Oh looks nice I would remove all crates apart from the two at the bottom that area doesn't look very spacey.Maybe put smaller crates there would be an better option I just think the 64x64 crates are to big for that area and look out of place. Like the sky alot but it doesn't give me the Simplicity feeling, I think I like the middle shot the best. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tormentor667 Posted December 22, 2006 Thx for feedback and criticism... I think I will do something about a few things you guys mentioned ;) Some more shots: Exit room's left, beyond gameplay and monsters must be adjusted... but that thing is has been almost finished within 2 days...

Antidote Posted December 22, 2006 The new screens are looking better, but are you purposely trying to make it look like Simplicity? (well I know it's a tribute, but...) That first screen reminds me of one the levels. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted December 22, 2006 STEP textures on the ceiling look awkward. I think MODWALL would look better. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tormentor667 Posted December 22, 2006 Last batch of screenies before release ;) (right now adding, adjusting objects, items, enemies, weapons, ammo) BTW: This is not the Simplicity palette! It's a modified Sapphire palette... ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Antidote Posted December 22, 2006 I like the addition of an outside area. Wads are more enjoyable when you got inside and out. Windows looking outside (and you see a ground+skybox) are also very helpful in making it look good. I hope this map is done soon, I can't wait to play it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Vegeta Posted December 22, 2006 Each batch of screens looks better than the last. I'd modify the structure (or texture) used for the ceiling lights, it seems that's the same in the whole level, may be removing some of them (standard DOOM maps don't have many lights on ceilings), so players don't see much at once reducing the copy and past impression some may have. Other than that so far looks great. Edit: I noted ceiling may be a bit bland with less of these lights, may be you'd like to add more ceiling height variations, some pipes, tunnels of diferent size and height. Diferent ceiling textures. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted December 23, 2006 A big part of simplicity is also the traps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Use Posted December 23, 2006 Jury is out on that sky. Doesnt look Doomy. 0 Share this post Link to post
RTC_Marine Posted December 23, 2006 I'm guessing simplicity would be when it runs on doom2.exe according to some of these people :P Nice levels, probably a little over detailed in areas (I've actually found getting confused where to go in incredibly detailed levels if they're not done right, not to say yours isn't), but I'll give it a download when it comes out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tormentor667 Posted December 23, 2006 @Manc - No, certainly not, it's more like what jute gyte wrote:it probably has more to do with "austere" meaning "markedly simple or unadorned". @Vegeta - I'll see what's possible ;) @Scuba - Exactly! And I have many ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Macro11_1 Posted December 24, 2006 Looks really good to me. I like the look, its a tribute, your own personal map style applied to a tribute map to an awesom megawad. Havnt played it yet, but It should be cool, if in simmilar vein of your previous maps. A tribute to an awesom mapperl by an awesom mapper, what more could one ask for? :) 0 Share this post Link to post
