Hi All! It's been a long time since I've posted a map. Recently I started working on a new Megawad (as if that's ever worked out for me) and this is one of the maps I've completed so far. The map is called Abhor and as of now it's going to take the MAP29 slot. Anyway, it's Boom Compatible and I have tested it in PrBoom+ almost exclusively. The idea for my megawad is to create maps that have that 90's feel. Slightly abstract, but not ugly. My main inspirations are Doom's E4, Plutonia, Scythe, etc.. That brings us to this map. Abhor is dark and cramped in the beginning, and it's meant to test your patience a little bit. I built the map to test my skills as an average Doomer but if it's kicking your ass on UV try HMP. Also I love feedback and demos :) Screenies: Title : Abhor (v1.0) Filename : Abhorv1 Release date : 4/25/2022 Author : TheNerdTurtle2 New levels : 1 Sounds : No Music : Yes Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : No Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Map # : MAP01 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Yes Download: AbhorV1.zip

Hey thanks for playing! I'm glad that you enjoyed it a little more than the first time, I knew you'd get the map after seeing some of the bullshit. I like the feeling of running around low on health and ammo, so that's way the supplies are low and secrets help a ton. It did suck that you didn't save rockets for the imp and archville ambush, maybe I'll stick some rockets in the secret staircase :)

Hey thanks for playing! The point of the map is to be a challenge. There is ammo starvation and minimal health pickups to make every move you make more deliberate. Did you try HMP? I designed UV to be tough as nails but HMP should be a more fair fight. And on Easy the sniping archville isn't even there.

I'm just bumping this thread because I didn't get any feedback/ criticism yet. I'm making decent progress on my megawad and just want to see what people think of my mapping style.

I've been working on a 90's style megawad recently. Inspired mostly by Doom's E4, Plutonia, and Scythe. Here is a map I've been tweaking, it's called Abhor.

I love the feedback! Thanks a lot, it was an hour and I didn't bother balancing after that, I stated it was harder than intended on UV in a previous post. RedBoule actually tackled my map first and he had no problem with the difficulty (I personally agree with you that it's hard). However, I will say that the opening is not RNG I have never died to the shotgunners, you just have to be quick :) thanks again!

Here is my demo whatdemoUV.zip Cute map, I liked the intensity at the beginning, but damn those high up chaingunners are annoying without freelook.

I tested in PrBoom and it works perfectly fine... maybe I attached a version before I saved? I literally just tested this one, so anyone that wants to play my map download this: TheReactor.zip

Dude you nailed that demo. Super cool watching you tackle the level, you made it look easy!

@RedBoule I'll take a look when I get home from work. I thought I tested in PrBoom, hmmmm

UGH! Water Blitz kicked my ass, a little more open than I would have preferred. I recorded a UV demo where I gave in after a few tries Water Blitz Demo.zip I will go back and beat it on HMP! EDIT: Here is my HMP demo, I beat it. But I gotta say I think this level is too hard, even on HMP. The rules for this says to make it beatable for an average doom player. It looks pretty though :) Water Blitz Demo 2.zip

Here is my contribution: TheReactor.zip It took exactly one hour to the minute to finish. It made me realize how slow I am at mapping lmao. Forgive the horrendous texturing! It's a little harder than I intended, if you don't want a hard time play on HMP. I will add a demo of me playing Water Blitz asap!

Just played MAP01 of MSCP on UV. Good stuff for slaughter. I found 0 secrets and killed the last Mancubus with my last bullet. Fun little map! EDIT: I must have died 60 times on MAP02 before I rage quit. Looks like I'm switching to HMP

In just over a month, me and my friend are going to speedrun race a wad called "The Darkening". Neither of us have ever done speedrunning before but we always wanted to. We figured we aren't good enough to compete with you pros so we decided to pick a wad and compete against each other. We are going to stream this race and if people like it we will probably do other wads.

I haven't done any mapping in a long time so recently I decided to do some speed maps in my free time. Well today I decided to create MAP30, and I tried to make it HARD. Basically I wanted MAP30 to feel like a last level, unlike Doom 1 & 2 & Sigil's disappointing endings. So anyway I would love feedback or demos, I made this in 3 hours and I think it plays well :) Difficulties are there, I would try UV first but I personally kept dying so if you suck like me do HMP. Also it uses Boom capability. You need to load both WADS that I uploaded in the .zip Descent.zip

Thanks for playing! Just watching how you tackled the map gave me a good amount of feedback, I've worked on two other "hard" maps since that and it helps learning how other people play Doom.

Oh.. well there isn't much I can do about that. How do I auto disable sv_cheats? lmao

I'm making a doom map where the only weapon you have to defend yourself against one is a rocketlauncher in a small space. Would you still like it?

I tried all and none seemed to work for me. I'm not positive if my windows 10 is up to date but I think so, I feel like it updates a lot.

I would think that this wouldn't leave you with enough ammo to finish the map

I want to try this competitive co-op. I am wondering however, do you have to pistol start when you die?

I'll attempt those all tonight, just curious I am running the 64 bit version would the 32 bit version make a difference? I have a 64 bit machine

That was unintended, I'll make sure I fix that as well as chuck more monsters in. I'm glad you found it easy, that means you're way better than me haha Honestly I thought the difficulty came from the small encounters but maybe I will have to change the pacing a tad.

So I'm trying to start out as a musician writing music for video games. As I was practicing one day I found a cat synth online. So naturally I released an album based on cats. The album is called Cats Stuck In Space. Basically imagine it as background music for some retro cat space shooter, or whatever. Anyway I would LOVE to get feedback from people that don't know me IRL, and I'm not asking that you buy my music (although I wouldn't mind :P) but I am asking that if you know any devs that need a musician... call me

Hey Brad, I don't know if anyone else has said this but Doom Retro lags a little bit for me. Not as in frame drop but as in input lag. It never used to happen when I mained Doom Retro 2 years ago, but I swear it almost feels like I have V-Sync enabled. It is most noticeable for the mouse but the controls lag a tad too.
