Cavern demo

[Noahtheking50]

Caverns its only one level right now but when I release the full wad it will be finished with some edits to this level. 

The story of caverns is that doom guy got lost in a cave. But there is secret rooms hiding by a abonded civilization.

That was a breif summary of the map.

If you need to correct your post, you can just edit it and then put in the comments the reason for the edit. No need to make a new post just to correct a typo. Also, a little more information about the wad, such as which source ports it is compatible with, and whether the player should use freelook, jumping etc. would be helpful.

 

Now, about the map. having seen your previous work, this is definitely an improvement, but there are a lot of newbie mistakes that still need correcting.

 

The blue key door hides a secret, but the blue key is easy to find and right next to it, it would be cool if the player had to find a hidden key to access the secret.

 

Likewise, the red key is placed right next to the red door, making it rather unnecessary. It would be better if the player had to go to another location, possibly getting ambushed by monsters when collecting it, and then have to backtrack to the red door.

 

The rooms all have just a few monsters placed in random locations. Try adding different ways of releasing monsters, such as a closet opening up, or a teleport trap.

 

Every room in the map is the same height. Try making rooms that are at different heights and connect them with staircases.

 

There are some errors with the exit switch sector as seen in this screenshot:

I hope this is helpful!

I completed Cavern demo Cave1.wad with LZDoom, this map is not complete. There is nothing to search for in the map, except for the keys to complete the map. There are only 11 enemies in the entire map. This map release is not considered a demo release. My suggestions, build smaller areas instead of large, and empty areas in the map. Remove areas of the map that are not required to be accessed by the player. Add more powerful enemies to a level to increase the difficulty of the map. If the player is provided with powerful weapons or large amounts of ammo, add more enemies to the map. Practice, and study building DOOM maps before releasing a map to the public. Build a DOOM WAD with at least 5 minutes of gameplay.

this is an abonded project fix if you want i dont care

If you want me to edit the map for you, I do not have a problem helping you out. The map is ZDoom based, I am more familiar with maps for DOOM.EXE. Are you saying this WAD is cancelled? I didn't say the map was either good or bad. There is not enough gameplay in the Cavern demo to provide you a map review.

why did you put my name i didt work on any of that.

 

[ScrappyMcDoogerton]

lol buddy it's called 'giving credit' that map is either built on top of or directly inspired by the map that you made so we are thanking you for making it. Without the map that you made the other map would never have been made either so even if you didn't work on it directly we still want to make sure people know this whole thing was started by you :)

Thanks for testing out Cave1-TEST.wad. I made the map within 6 hours, and I didn't add any new areas to explore if you completed Cave1.wad. Cave1-TEST was developed on top of Cave1.wad, and is a relatively short map to complete. I usually build techbase maps, and Noahtheking50 actually showed up at a good time, because the last map that I developed has a mining complex area. I was developing cave locations, then I was asked to build the Cavern demo DOOM II level.
