*NEW SCREENS* Babel

[SlatheDoomer]

Here are three screenshots from my upcoming doom wad codenamed Babel. The actual title will probably change when I finish the wad itself.

Looks very nice. One can't judge much about screenshots but seems to be a very fun map. And the name is good, fit perfectly with the vanilla atmosphere.

I like the name, personally. I wouldn't mind if you kept it the same, but that's up to you.

The screenshots look very nice. Hopefully it plays as good as it looks. :)

Looks pretty good, my only complaint was the torch light in the screenshot, http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/2961/doom0082nb4.png
The way it gave off light was all wrong, try something like a circle.

o_O It looks like a quarter-circle to me, which makes sense because it's in a corner. It's kind of hard to tell from the screenshot though..

It's a diamond shape.

Should I change the way the light sectors are shaped?

I just realized the above screenshot of the grid gives away a secret. =D

You might want to delete these sectors I marked in blue, it looks to me as if they are double sided linedefs.
Unless they have an reason for being there but it looks to me it doesn't do anything.

They are double-sided. They are walls. Is it better to delete the sectors to make the space void? To make walls inside of a sector i just raise the floor or lower the ceiling.

Yes, it's preferred to make the space void if you're making a wall or a pillar. That is, unless you want the wall to appear solid at first but then lower as part of a trap of some sort. :)

The preference of void spaces doesn't really affect much in game. It just means there's an extra few sectors, which may add a few superfluous kilobytes. As long as you don't go overboard with unnecessary sectors, it shouldn't detract from the map.

New Screenshots.

this looks to be a fun linear romp. Awesome.
