The Mansion (Classic Style Doom 2 WAD)

[TacPep]

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first attempt at mapping, and frankly, I don't know if it is any good. It features custom music created by "The Leviathan's Music" on YouTube.

I used vanilla Doom 2 assets and designed the map so that it can be played without jumping/crouching, but freelook can be very helpful at times. I tried to create a "classic" style map here, which has a mansion-type theme. The map is rather short and action-packed. Playing on UV is recommended. Feedback is very welcome!

 

You will find screenshots and a link to the WAD below. Have a great day!

Hey, what is the decryption key for the map?

I completely forgot, sorry! It should work now.

I liked it however, a lot of it felt generated at times. But I could tell by the layout it wasn't. Additionally, I really liked the general feel of this wad and progression. Until the end when I had a cold BFG. I only shot it once. I think a gotchya or maybe a couple of barons at the end would be a great finisher and give me a reason to pull out the old BFG. Keep it up!

Hey, thanks for playing the map! Glad it was at least somewhat enjoyable.

Not bad for your first map. The buttons were a little iffy; like the ones that didn't do anything. And there is a room you can get stuck in if you don't open a large door first (activated by the button near the Chainsaw).

The BFG felt wasted because I had to clear out most of the enemies before I got to it. I liked the secret Wolfenstein reference, and the other two secrets (armor and health) were decently placed.
