Pseudonaut Posted December 15, 2020 Didn't bother with the item collecting, I think it would just make this a little more annoying, even if the health bonuses are all right there. It's a really basic and easy map. There's no shortage of cover if I want to avoid damage, and there's enough health that I don't really need to worry about damage anyway. It's all pretty bland tbh. If anyone wanted to play it more cautiously, they could just funnel the monsters through doorways while peekaboo shooting and take no damage. In that case, a large group of lightweight monsters doesn't seem to serve a purpose. It would be helpful if you said in the OP which source port this was designed for or was tested in. When I tried it in PrBoom+, there were missing textures, so I used GZDoom to record the video. 4 Share this post Link to post

AtticTelephone Posted December 15, 2020 You didn't make it better, really, but I haven't played it, so I could be partially and not entirely correct. Considering your previous works, actually, maybe I might be right. 0 Share this post Link to post
AtticTelephone Posted December 15, 2020 Oh good god. Get Doom Builder X and start doing vanilla maps, and watch lots of Chubzdoomer, I beg you. If you want to improve you need to do exactly that. Test in PRBoom+, play Scythe or Vanguard, something. It will help you improve. 0 Share this post Link to post
Yandere_Doomer Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) wow, a lot of missing textures, yeah, BMFG, i recommend watching some tutorials from Doomkid as well, he will give you some great advice, just, please make sure your wads are complete before you release them, please 0 Share this post Link to post

Why are you so demanding? offering valid criticism and tips to improve is really helpful but telling people exactly how they should make a map is both unnecessary and rude. The same map with little to no changes could be made in boom format, so where does that leave your criticism? Making this in boom wouldn't make it any better/worse. 8 Share this post Link to post
TheNoob_Gamer Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) 26 minutes ago, AtticTelephone said: "Case Closed"? Look, fine, stick with GZDoom, but set it on Doom (Strict) for testing purposes, alright? What? Only when your goal is to make a relatively vanilla map do you need to test your stuff outside (G)ZDoom. I really don't like what the OP is cooking up here, but if they outright said "made for GZDoom" then it's clearly for GZDoom, no matter how simple-looking it is. If the demand is really there and everyone doesn't feel it justice in GZDoom, then changes could be made for proper compatibility. 7 Share this post Link to post

Yes, because we all know that playing Scythe will instantly make you into a mapping god. Quite frankly, as others have pointed out, your "advice" in this thread amounts to nothing more than you telling (not even suggesting) OP exactly what to do, what format to use, which editor to use, and what wads to play. It comes across as particularly crude, especially since you open up with a post flat out insulting him by saying: 19 hours ago, AtticTelephone said: You didn't make it better, really, but I haven't played it, so I could be partially and not entirely correct. Considering your previous works, actually, maybe I might be right. So you haven't even bothered to play it but you automatically know it's no good. Right. I'm sure you could do a better job, but considering your previous works, actually, maybe I might be wrong. See how insulting that sounds? And this has got to be the tenth time I've seen you tell someone to use DB X instead of UDB/GZDB. Why? Just because you perfer it doesn't mean everyone else does. Your advice about source ports and compatibility/format/testing makes it look as though you don't fully understand what you're talking about anyway, as it makes no sense. 2 hours ago, The BMFG said: look bro im not doing it and that is final case closed Good on you @The BMFG, don't let other people dictate what you make and how you make it. Everyone learns their own way, on their own terms, by doing what they want to do. Edited December 16, 2020 by TheMagicMushroomMan 9 Share this post Link to post
