Reisal Posted February 6, 2011 All right, I've been thinking a bit and thought it might be interesting for each other to showcase our earlier/earliest maps that are on the archives..so here is is probably one of my earliest levels online: Doomer99 Contains 5 maps from 1997, WOLF.WAD, MEDIVAL.WAD, CITY.WAD, SLUMS.WAD and ROCKOUT.WAD -- Avoid the remaining content as it's embarrassing graphics replacements. Half-Lifed -- Touched up in 2009 to fix some errors. My megawad from 2004 -- I know it's not super old, but it's on the old side. 0 Share this post Link to post
Khorus Posted February 6, 2011 Total Darkness 1-6 2005 Project Dark Zone 2006 All singleplayer maps for skulltag 96f. And all are very, very bad. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Green Herring Posted February 6, 2011 Community Chest 3 MAP27: Ruby Abyss and MAP15: Clash of Galaxies, in that order, released in 2007. Those two are my earliest releases ever. The layouts of Diet 32in24 MAP02: On Two Sides and MAP16: The Million Dollar Pyramid were also designed before the release of CC3 (a month earlier, in fact,) but the WAD itself was released a year later (due largely to inactivity on behalf of the first compiler.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted February 6, 2011 Well, I won't go digging out my really old, unreleased late 90s and early 00s maps, and I'd need a time machine to get the ones that I no longer have at all, so here's a link to my first release: http://www.phobus.servegame.com/doom/ph_scrge.zip The 23 maps were made around 2001-2005, the wad itself being first released at the end of 2005. Maps are featured in the order they are made, with MAP31 being the most recently made map, and therefore being very different to all of the others. I'd consider it mostly fun, in an old way, with a lot of the mapping being mid 90s in quality at best. Still proud of the CREDITS map though. If you want something a bit different, the original MAP31 to Scourge was Warpzone, a leviathan of a map with ~1200 monsters or so. It was taken out after the original players on the ZDoom forums noted how unsuitable it was compared to everything else. This was definitely more architecture/detailing than anything else and I'd not try and say its much fun to play these days. Quite a slog to get through too. Here's a link for those with 50 minutes or more to kill: http://www.phobus.servegame.com/doom/ph_wz.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted February 6, 2011 My first archived map, Helevator: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12666 I'm not particulary proud or ashamed of it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted February 6, 2011 Heh, I've got some downloads for a couple of scrapped projects of mine. Probably the only thing worth playing on the page is HELLDOOM's map HEL_E1M7, which more or less sums up the project idea in a nutshell. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted February 6, 2011 MAP02 from SargeBaldy Speedmapping Compilation #20. That was fun, though I prefer traditional russian speedmapping (4 hours). 0 Share this post Link to post

C30N9 Posted February 6, 2011 I'm a 2010/2011 mapper. I see you will interest about me in 2015 =P. Redoom -- First released at /idgames archieve. I actually made this ago before month 10, so my mapping was shitty. It didn't impress anyone at all. And the reviews were ........ You can compare it with pitfalls.wad (pitfall2.zip) and see the big difference :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Mechadon Posted February 6, 2011 Salamadastron: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=15286 It was originally part of a 3 or 4 map episode I was working on in my spare time. I started on the first maps sometime in '03/'02 and had 2 or 3 maps finished before I started on this. This was the only surviving map though and I finished it sometime around 2006. I think the others were lost when we had to send in our old PC for repairs because they wiped the hard drive :<. I must have had this map on a thumb drive or something at the time because I was still working on it. I really wish I had those other maps still...they were a little better than this map. Vertigone: http://mekworx.phenomer.net/vertigone/ I realize that I don't have a download link to this map. It's pretty scary though so I won't bother uploading it for right now :P. This was my very first attempt at a DM map back when I found Skulltag. I was screwing around with all of the fancy bells and whistles at the time so there's not much in the way of gameplay. Everything else I made before 2003 is long, long gone. Most of them were just scraps anyways. There are probably a few more older maps that would be worth seeing though. I have all of them listed here. 0 Share this post Link to post

PC speaker sounds and joining your vertices with lines to make a shape, before creating a sector enclosed by the lines. Think the current method in DB is a bit quicker :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Joshy Posted February 7, 2011 http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=15876 Imperfection has its charm was a compilation of all the old maps I made which was during 2005-2007 I think it was. I started in 2005 so, yeah.. early for me! 0 Share this post Link to post
Alter Posted February 7, 2011 [B]http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=15366 Okay this wasn't my first wad release however it was the first one that was remotely decent in detail/gameplay. Started in January 2007, scrapped in march. Picked up in April 2008, finished 3 months later. 0 Share this post Link to post

lupinx-Kassman Posted February 7, 2011 Technically I made this wad before I made my first map, but I decided to throw away pride and release it years later. Just a simple crappy graphics replacement, consisting of sprites that I pretty much ripped from a sonic game. It is the only thing that ever came out of this. (Hello first post!) Pretty embarrassing, but I am all up for embarrassing myself. Shadow Androids And now, for my first actual map: Noob project 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted February 7, 2011 http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12422 Hell Pit. From 1996. Was supposed to be for my megawad, dropped for obvious reasons, mostly the nonsensical ending. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12420 Deep Core. Was map2 from megawad, made a little later than Hell Pit. Timestamps might be off on these since I had to remove megawad resources when I uploaded them. When I get around to it there are several more abandoned maps, fragments and stuff I could strip down and release. The biggest problem is the odd progression of these maps, random textures, unbalanced gameplay. I later rebuilt Deep Core in 2005, the new version is really nice. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

LOL It shows it's age indeed! Hardly even remember makin' em to be honest. Long time ago. But I still have fun with 'em from time to time. On a side note, thanks for the 5* on Awakening :) NT 0 Share this post Link to post
