Doomworld Speedmapping Compilation #24

About This File

The products of Doomworld's 24th speedmapping session, started by Solarn. The session was held over five weekdays from May 24 to May 28. The theme was "metal" and only one map doesn't conform to it, but since it was made for the session and has good gameplay, I decided to include it anyway.

Some maps have difficulty settings, but others don't.

and here we are, finally at the end of dwspd wads unless a new one gets made soon enough (but we have several different names for speedmapping this time around, so it's perhaps unlikely). the main theme? METAL! although I can't help but think that making each metal map a slaughtermap or perhaps a segmented slaughtermap was also a secret rule nobody knew, as all of these maps can qualify for slaughtermaps. only MAP11 doesn't adhere to the theme of metal, but still has slaughter to it. these maps are also characterized by having loads of forced arena fights (where the headaches of having to wait rear its ugly head quite often, especially in MAP03), cyberdemons at the exit, and usually macro-architecture that accomodates the fights well. MAP06 is an exception to that last one, it's notably cramped. MAP01 sucks, doesn't give adequate resources to combat enemies especially arch-viles later on, while MAP02 is actually the best here. the rest tend to arena or segmented slaughter and hit or miss for the most part. just like all other dwspds really. there's still a few bugs like one-time only doors and such that didn't get noticed.

Unfortunately half of the maps aren't completable, because of unpressable switches and doors. Also softlocks in the maps occur often enough. you guys should fix and reupload, because the idea of the maps aren't that bad.

I don't know how to say... not so bad, but not good too. I give up on Map04 because I tired to dodge a lot of monsters in a small room/hall/walkway. Many maps are full of that shit, even worse, put 2 cyberdemons on a not big room or wide walk way. I hate them, even it's speedmapping... 2.5/5 -playerlin

It seemed like the authors either couldn't understand that Speedmapping is not Speedrunning. I had to haul ass through some of the small maps. Get keys, get to end. After I think map 9 I had to turn on iddqd because of the sheer insanity with the maps. The one that is the odd one out with non-matching textures matched the default map name (O of Destruction). It was a bit too much for me. Good effort, but please.. keep the amass of monsters to the Nuts.wad. 2/5

      Unloved

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      The Revenant Problem

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
