24 carat speed- A limit-removing megawad!

[we're closed]

24 carat? You wish. Speed? Now that's more like it. 24 maps, each done in almost a flash. Yup, these are all speedmaps I made while working on a video-game as an indie game dev. 

So... you wanna know the story? Simple. UAC fucked up again and you're in Charon now. Demons everywhere. Here's your super shotgun, you take care of the rest. Well, the first episode is Charon. The second one is, you guessed it- HECK. The in-game stories? I changed the strings, but it's too damn chaotic, considering my god-awful writing skills.

Each episode starts from a pistol-start, and I made sure of it. So how much time did it take for each map? Well, there's a lump you can check out on SLADE. 3 actually, including the credits and map recommendations. Btw, I personally like episode 2 much better than episode 1, but the penultimate and final maps of the first episode take the crown for me. What else to cover? Check below.

I gave the first few maps a try. Overall, it kind of shows that they are speedmaps, but they aren't bad. Map 1 was the weakest of what I played, looking like a decent beginner map with some unnecessary Barons. The shrunk Hell Knights are cute, though I feel that just draws more attention to how Barons have too much HP while being not much of a threat. I liked the Episode 1-ish style to Map 3, though some of the hallways are a little plain.

Oh, okay, yeah! Episode 1 is generally weaker, but there are some enjoyable maps later on (like the last two). Map 1 is actually my first serious attempt at mapping, so technically not a speedmap. And speaking of Barons and Hell Kights, their hp has been reduced to 850 and 450 respectively. Thanks for playing the first few maps!

I recorded my playthrough of the first three maps in this WAD. They were generally ok, if a bit rough - the speed definitely showed. They were still mostly good, in my opinion, but brought down by parts that were just frustrating. A surprise crusher and chaingunners and revenants hanging out in full-black unlit sectors and a phenomenal number of hitscan ambushes really didn't help my enjoyment. These kinds of trollish map design elements can be used to good or at least humorous effect, but here it just felt like a spattering of poor design decisions in otherwise friendly and conventional maps. I might play more maps later, depending on how I'm feeling about it, but I'm not making promises.
