About This File

Another small experiment made by me, reminds me of early 90's community maps.

For a beginning author, this one isn't too unusual, and one can only hope that troll comment hasn't cured SpiderDisease permanently from Doom mapping. A comment I doubt anyone would share if not anonymous. 

 

As for the contents, it is what it says on the tin: a novice-grade "proof of functionality" map. This one is painted not in STARTAN but in a wild motley of textures, as if mapping duties were partly outsourced to RNG. It's uglier, but worse? Maybe not. At the very least it's more interesting. 

 

The gameplay isn't awful, at least. It mostly consists of picking off low-tiers, and occasionally it touches on satisfying concepts, like letting you chaingun-plow through a hallway of hapless zombie stuffing. The map lasts three minutes if midway through you feel like changing your pants -- it's too insubstantial to grow tedious. 

 

If the author returns: it helps to seek feedback before uploading straight to the archives. 

 

Everyone else: skip the download and pretend I didn't bump this.

Typical newbie's first map. It has weirdly placed textures, randomly placed monsters and claustrophobic layout. Two stars for some action and exit place.

Kinda ugly and stupid with nothing interesting to look at, but it offers some action. Takes like 2 minutes to beat.

I'd rather drown in diarrhea than play this again.

"Reminds me of early 90's community maps", well you are not far off. It is actually more reminiscent of early 90's crap like MYHOUSE.wad or the other monstrosities from things like Maximum Doom or D!Zone. My advice is to study some good but simple 90's maps and draw inspiration from them.

Very simple map layout, very poor texture use, no decoration, awful gameplay. Overall: not worth a download. Sorry SpiderDisease, you'd better read doomwiki.org/wiki/Ti ps_for_creating_good _WADs before creating and even uploading your next level. Success!

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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

      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.
