I'd love a Prince of Persia feeling in atmosphere doom level made in honor of my agédness on Guy Fawkes Day.
General Rainbow Bacon had started one that was very promising which I hope maybe he'll finish :).
Something with some clever secret passageways and nooks and crannies to explore. Contrast from tight passageway to open to tight again is probably good (as well as low ceilings to high ceilings). Contrast is your friend.
I love GSTONE texture. I don't like marble, tho (because I had it as a default in DeepSea for a long time and it killed it for me. I also like the GRAY* textures (with gray4 being my least favorite for the same reason I don't like marble :p). I also like the various versions of the gray floor texture as seen in the above screenshot.
- Please, don't have the exit door locked by a key. :)
- Please, no instappear monsters or monsters that teleport in, unless it's setup as an ominous event (ie, E1M9, E3M5, or Map13 RL get).

- Preponderance of rooms with high ceilings next to passageways or rooms with low ceilings.
- Doom 1 scale and style architecture / level of detail. :)
Pretty sure I'm asking way too much, but, well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask.
