Frisky Posted May 31, 2016 So, what kind of WAD is this? Can you show some screenshots? Can you tell some info? No information of that kind leads to no download for me. I don't want to waste time out of my life downloading what could potentially not be a WAD for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

illuknisaa Posted May 31, 2016 These maps are not really playable. It was just way too easy to get stuck and the over all progression is really confusing (think walk up waterfalls confusing). Visually there are some nice things (I liked the scrolling planet in map01) but a lot times there is this garish use colors. Enemy encounters are fairly basic with good dose of r667 hp bloated monsters. There is a lot things that need fixing (and I can't be bothered to list them all) and I think you should try something simple before you do a big project like this. pics: http://imgur.com/a/qBNmw 0 Share this post Link to post

While some of the texture work was alright, there are points where they are very vague. For example, there are doors that look exactly the same as the walls around them, forcing the player to use automap to leave the room. There are several cases of 'pick the right one or you die' in map 3, such as the four teleports (which are broken, I might add. You have to back into 3 of them in order to get it to work). For the love of God, take out those Time Imps. I thought something was wrong with myncomputer. After getting the yellow skull on map 2, there was no means of getting out of that little trench, forcing me to use idclip. If a player can get to an item, they should be able to progress from then on. EDIT: if you kept the levels in the theme of map 1, this would be nice, but everything after just feels like a mess. Also, there is no background music in maps 2 or 3. If there was ambient sound instead that would be alright, but silence doens't heighten the mood, only kill it. 0 Share this post Link to post
MistAche Posted May 31, 2016 aniket161200, I attempted this and can only agree with the above comments. I think your fundamental problem is not testing your WAD before releasing it. Play your WAD and ask yourself, was it possible? was it fun? 0 Share this post Link to post

If the player can't complete your map then it's really bad. This takes priority over everything else. Because you have so many maps (full zdoom megawad is pretty crazy) I would suggest: 1. you pick 3 maps that you think are the best and link their exit switches together (so after you complete one map you proceed to the next even if players need to skip few maps from the original wad). 2. Make sure you can complete the maps using pistol start. Do edits to maps if needed (eg. if the map is too hard then just slap few more weapons and health at the start, it doesn't have to look pretty). Also mention on what difficulty it is playable. 3. Upload the edited wad here. If you do this I can give better and more precise criticism on each map which you can then apply on other maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

What error message you get? Have you installed gzdoom correctly? Is your pc better than a toaster? Have you put a bug report at gzdoom forum? 0 Share this post Link to post
