Circular maps?

[printz]

Are there any circular maps worth playing? By that I mean with arc-shaped corridors around a common centre. It's not easy to do in the editor because you need to make sure every vertex is spaced correctly from the centre. I know of Star Wars Doom level 3 but that's old and imbalanced.

While not exactly what you're asking for, Sunder map10 is fairly close in spirit (you navigate a citadel by slowly circling from the edges to the center).

eviltech map05 is like that

That map is more square than circular but you do "circle" around it.

Alpha version of E1M6. Technically an octagon, but still.

Last map of Lunatic.

Awakening, of course.

Eternal Doom Map28.

I'm working on a circle map right now for the Doom II map name remake. I got level 11: O' of Destruction. Well, its not entirely circular but it does have a large circular hub, and 4 smaller circular hubs that branch off of that. Lots of circular symmetry to be found. Project is scheduled for release in December i believe.

Fragport map 28, the middle is a 32-sided polygon.

Every map I make accidentally has a circle in it. Or something that rounds off to a circle. Dodecagons totally count, guys.

A whole map based around one, though? Not yet. "Yet" being the key word, probably. :P

Circles are not possible in the Doom engine.

No, but close approximations are, and I think that both the author of the original post and authors of the subsequent replies understood this.

I based map6 of newgothic around a circle, sort of.

The movie pi is tight. I'm pretty sure the guy that drilled his brains out just finished building an geometrically true circular Doom map. Ya, its not 'true 3D', heck its not even a 'true dimension' yet. Just wait:
