Michael Jensen Posted June 7, 2021 I was surprised to find that there actually was something under "Inspiration and development" for Map28 of Icarus. Usually, these are empty. "I play tested the level until I was completely confident that you pretty much only had enough ammo in the level to half whatever supplies a standard player had leftover from map 27. The concept was more along the lines of removal of any significant gain made by the player up to that point in the game. Hence the name, Excavations. The setting of the map reflected this concept. I never really made this public to the rest of the team at that time, it was more of a private joke. I was constantly told by the others on the team that there wasn't enough ammunition in the level, and against my wishes, my father eventually doubled the amount on the map before release, to my cries of, 'screw em, real men punch shit to death!'" However there is no source for this. Anyone know where this quote comes from? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Somehow that never occurred to me. Seems strange to come back after 11 years simply to add a piece of trivia to Doomwiki. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
