[New] Temple of Eradication

[sausage]

The Temple Of Eradication.

From the Readme:

Description : Temple of Eradication is designed for the more Expert of players who can still perform under pressure, and in claustrophobic situations, this is *******ely not the easyest challenge you will ever face.
If you are as useless as a large sack 'o' crap, Then you may use IDDQD Cheat, but don't go being too stupid by using any other cheats, you don't God-Damn need to.

Good Luck.

Thanks, Sausage.

I love how you tell people not to use God Mode and then in your screenshots, your using God Mode :)... looks good though!

It's relatively easy imo and wouldn't be all that hard to beat the whole thing without getting hit a single time (after a few tries I beat it getting hit only 3 times). But look at this demo instead (for zdoom version 2.1.7) as it shows a couple things:

1) you can block enemies from warping in by covering up their warp spot. I purposely put a demon over the top so I didn't even have to fight that first baron.

2) a glitch (rare probably) in the lift that can force you to use idclip, as seen in the demo linked below.

most of the ammo is concentrated in one spot, might be better to put more at the end so you don't have to backtrack. Cyber is easy since you have a constant hill to block him in front of you. In the 1st caco cage area, you kinda have to kill that caco around the side to the right first.. because if you kill the others first, the cutscene will probably trigger and you'll get hit while that is playing.

I enjoyed this one. Nice slopes, nice lighting. Had fun boxing the barons when my ammo ran out.

Thanks for playing, I'm Glad you enjoyed it.

Looks ok, finished in first run so I wouldn't call this hard.
For me the waves of teleporting monsters damage the flow of the map.
Maybe use less but thougher ones?
All in all not so bad.

or maybe make more variation in the fighting area beetween the waves.. I know there was already some variation (bars raising and lowering), but you could do something more extreme variation too :p

Y'know, Ive Never worked with ambient sounds before... Maybe a quick explanation on using them?

And Whatever maps I work on in the future should be attempting to keep away from the stop-start broken flow feeling...

Thanks.

While looking for more info about soap on a rope (cchest3,map14)
I saw this

NO FORCING THE VIEW OUT OF THE PLAYER'S EYES. NO FREEZING THE PLAYER. The ZDoom features are to be used for enhancing the experience, not replacing it. If you want to make a cutscene, it has to be an "in-game" cutscene, not cutting to a camera and showing things talking with hudmessages. No starting a level with a swooping camera view. No freezing the player and showing some door opening on the other side of the map. We have camera textures now, make a "monitor" next to the switch and actually show the door opening on the monitor. There should never be a second when the player is unable to move or the view is forcibly taken away from him.

from here
I know your cutscenes were very short, but I think this is great advice.
