hi there!

here's a demo: http://www.mediafire.com/download/522kc6au9xe4nfh/ndm_fda_rbk.lmp

despite the simplistic setups (each trap was pretty much: surrounding closets open to reveal mixed composition of low/mid-tier mobs, prioritze hitscanners then just circlestrafe the rest), I enjoyed this little map. I liked the style and the usage of dark/light accents (though admittedly I quickly bumped up the gamma to increase odds of survival, sacrificing some lighting detail in the process). Is the map name an obscure reference of some sort?

Nice little map you made there. I liked the simplistic approach in both gameplay and visuals and the straight forward two-key progression, simple yet effective. It was a lot easier than I expect, only the first trap caught me off-guard, after that I realized what I'm into so I managed to anticipate the rest of the map pretty easily. I thought you used the monsters in a decent way, my favorite part was the area before the end. Pretty cool, you should make more maps.

Well, I just was too lazy to make up a real name, but yes, the words are from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", one of my favourite films. Thanks for the FDA.

Fun one for this. Looks gorgeous.

That first AV is a bit iffy since charging back out to fight it in the open (which is more luck-based but doable and faster) is itself luck-based due to the delay imposed by the forced weapon switch to the chaingun.

Is that the name of your next wad?

[baja blast rd.]

Hahaha.

Did another quick session. Of course it's more consistently faster to hold off on releasing the vile. :)

BK room is bad, so the gap should be even bigger.

Bug report: it's possible to get stuck behind the red key desk if you get archvile jumped there.

Nice little romp map, the red key is pretty hard for my standards.

FDAs with lots of death and no exit, cl 9

People in the hood angle their weapons because it's easier to keep your aim on the storekeeper you're robbing if you hold it sideways. Easier to aim vertically and keep it on the target.

Oops. Clicked on this thread thinking it was titled "Doom angled weapons". When I saw you talking about the wad name I thought you had chosen that for the name.

Cool map. My only gripe was that the light levels were so low that I actually had a hard time seeing anything, and it strained my eyes just a little. I've got bad eyes though.

Gameplay was fun, frantic but easy enough for me to make it through in one try. Make another!
