Telemassacre Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all, so i recently came up with an idea about making a doom map that uses a poll to achieve the "most wanted status". Here is the poll. This poll will allow you to answer with honesty, what you like/don't like in a doom map. After the end of May, i will have a computer make two maps: The most wanted doom map, and the least wanted doom map. EDIT: The map is done. Edited June 25, 2021 by Telemassacre : Map done. 22 Share this post Link to post
Walter confetti Posted May 12, 2021 Interesting idea, i wonder what kind of map will come out, i answered to the poll with my choices... 1 Share this post Link to post
Jacek Bourne Posted May 12, 2021 I would like to see the final result. I’ll stick around. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted May 12, 2021 Interesting approach but I think many things won't work this way. For example, I like non-linear maps, the other guy likes linear maps - having a layout that is just a little bit non-linear won't get both of us excited. 1 Share this post Link to post

Well, just like any other "using a poll to determine the most wanted aspects of a product", the result isn't going to be "the best map". It's just going to be the one the most people enjoy. 1 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted May 12, 2021 Let me take it this way: some people like beer, some people like milk. Milk mixed with beer isn't what most people would enjoy. 2 Share this post Link to post

Peccatum Mihzamiz Posted May 13, 2021 This is lovely! I filled in the questionnaire. About weapon usage: I would say that the rocket launcher/ SSG are interchangeable with some mid tier enemies like Revenants, depending on the situation. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sectorslayer Posted May 13, 2021 Submitted! Interesting questions. The results of the survey would be interesting in general. One question I was missing is about the overall difficulty level. Would players rather play laidback most of the time or a stream of totally nerve wrecking encounters. I’m so curious about the resulting map. 🙂 0 Share this post Link to post

Omniarch Posted May 13, 2021 Huh, filling out that questionnaire actually helped to solidify my preferences. Great job, @Telemassacre! I'll be interested to see the results, both the final stats and the resulting map. 0 Share this post Link to post

Not necessarily everyone's taste of course. And with that said, I can't think of a Doom wad I'd want it on the soundtrack for. Generally speaking. 2 Share this post Link to post

Major Arlene Posted May 13, 2021 I'd submitted a reply as well, looking forward to seeing what this ends up being! maybe... dare say... a community project of sorts? 1 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted May 14, 2021 Submitted. I like this concept a lot. It would be interesting if the least wanted map is actually the more fun one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xulgonoth Posted May 14, 2021 "Which do you find most effective against who?" is a bit of a weird question. The BFG is the most effective weapon against everything ranging from the lowly fodder to the boss monsters. 1 Share this post Link to post
