Filename:	levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/thgawd01.zip
Size:	7.94 MB
Date:	11/01/23
Author:	Various. Project was led by Ofisil.
Description:	Welcome fellow DOOMers. What you can see here is a labour of love from a variety of mappers, beginner to pro. The concept behind it? Each mapper has taken a specific theme, and then tried to make something nice looking, but also fun, within specific confines (3072*3072 Grid or Smaller, bar some exceptions, and stock textures-only). This Doom II megawad is divided between chapters of varying difficulty, with each chapter using specific monsters and enemies, with the purpose of the whole thing feeling like a gradually more challenging adventure. While this is playable from pistol-start, it is mean to be experienced continuously in UV as it has been balanced for that purpose and that purpose alone. CAUTION: Designed only for solo play! Now, this begun at a period where I had way more free time (lock-downs and so on), so progress was super-fast initially, but life got in the way, so things slowed down a bit. Thankfully, few abandoned the project, and thus we are very happy to offer you THEME-GAWAD - a set of levels aimed at those who want something a bit more "traditional" in terms of gameplay, and with a severely less steep challenge. The project was always meant to be a simple one; a chance for mappers of all skills to have some mapping fun. Having said that, there are some genuine masterpieces here. Have fun playing, and drop a post or two if you like what you see. Cheers! Read the included text file for more info.
