Scorpion - A collection of Boom-compatible slaughter/gimmick speed(ish)maps

[MFG38]

 

Scorpion is a 17-level Boom-compatible set of speedmaps that I put together in a week. Most maps in Scorpion lean heavily towards the slaughter style of gameplay, with many of them employing different gimmicks to provide their own, occasionally experimental spin to the combat encounters. The maps also have distinct themes, ranging from vanilla-style marble temples to monochromatic art pieces with light shows.

 

Best played with pistol starts.

Edited June 11, 2022 by MFG38 : it's out yo

Last screenshots looks interesting…

[i suck at nicknames]

Following...this looks really cool

Made MAP07 today! An artful combination of two of my favorite colors, comprising a monster count and composition that lends the map its name (which I'll refrain from spoiling). Exiting this map involves solving a puzzle which, while deceptively simple in its implementation, is honestly one of my proudest Doom-related creations.

 

[MFG38]

MAP08-10 have been made, as well as a MAP31. With these additions, Scorpion has seen a small expansion to its gameplay offerings, as two of them in particular have lesser monster counts while employing non-slaughter gameplay gimmicks. MAP10 is even almost entirely monsterless! Screenshots of the new maps are in the spoiler below.

MAP11-13 are done. Only 2 or 3 more maps and then I can get around to compiling the set, playtesting and tweaking things where needed. Chances are moderately high that Scorpion will be out tomorrow, or even later today if I can expend the energy. Look forward to it!

 

Anyway, screenshots of the new maps are in the spoiler below as usual.

Happy to announce that Scorpion has been released! The final map roster has in all 17 maps - 16 in normal progression as well as a secret one. Download link is in the OP.

 

EDIT: Quick hotfix to fix a missing flat in MAP06 and the intermission screen showing the wrong map title for MAP31. Might take a few minutes for the link to update.

One more minor update to clear out the intermission text screens for ports that support UMAPINFO. Same download link - might take a minute or two for it to update, though.
