Comments to my old wad

[maxspeed]

Hi, I have been working with this one map for a very long time and it looks like I will finish it maybe in a month or so, hopefully ;) Here is 3 screenshots: http://koti.mbnet.fi/max55/beta6.jpg http://koti.mbnet.fi/max55/beta9.jpg http://koti.mbnet.fi/max55/beta10.jpg, its both indoor/outdoor map, mainly base/tech style.

It would help me very much if I got comments of my last wad Overkill: http://koti.mbnet.fi/max55/msok.zip, so if you have played it sent comments here. Because I am having problems with gameplay in this new map. Comments: Was there too much shells? Ammo/Healt in general? Detailing? Monster placement? Enough action? Anything?

And also about the level name, does this sound stupid 'Extreme Evil Execution'?

I just played through MSOK in HMP skill. You did a good job on that one I think, because I had a good time all the way through. Health seemed about right, ammo too. Ammo might be more than needed, I used all the rockets but had plenty of shotgun shells left. The monster types and placement are pretty good too. In summary, I found it fun to play and no real complaints came to mind. I liked the fact that there was not a monster around every single corner, and some ambush-style attacks are used. Enough map detail to please in combination with the lighting.

Better players than I will probably want more challenge, assuming that UV is not a big step up...didn't try that yet.

Level name....hmmm....doesn't matter much, it's what's inside that counts.

Oh, it's you who made Msok.

Heh, nice map, and a good resprucing of that old 10sector entry.


Stupid level names can sometimes be a plus.

Ok then the level name will be 'Extreme Evil Execution' heh.

And also, what nodebuilders do you use? What nodebuilder is good for levels with lots of round curves and other detail stuff? because i use BSP v. 5.1 and the quality isn't always very good.

I would suggest trying ZenNode. Dunno if it's better than BSP but it's a damned good nodesbuilder.

I disagree, I tend to avoid certain wads with certain words in the name. Like, soldier. I never download wads if they have soldier in it, even if I don't know how good it is, or how good other people think it is.

A good level name (to me) would be "A Trip to Austrailia." Even if it has nothing to do with Austrailia, it would still drag me into playing it.

It works fairly well, roughly same as bsp. Some places better some not. Heh maybe i'm just aiming too high quality ;)

<idiot mode> How about Extreme Evil Execution: A Trip to Seinäjoki </idiot mode> Seriously i think i know what you mean the level name shouldn't be too brutal.
