I made a new map and I'm so dang proud of it.

[StarSpun5000]

I literally made this map in like 3 or 4 days and I am so happy with how it turned out. It's inspired by the first level of Scythe so it's small and fairly easy. Still I think it's fun as hell and I hope you enjoy it. (The track used is Detonation by Dragonfly from the TNT Midi pack and the level itself is called getting started) (Tested with Zdoom) Vanilla compatible. 

Edit: Figured out how to use DeHackEd (Thanks Doomkid) and now the music and level name work with PRBoom+. Epic!

Please update your post with the map format and at least 1 screenshot.

(Thanks for reminding me BTW)

It's a great little map perfect for chainsaw enthusiasts. Definitely felt the Scythe map 01 vibes playing it. I played in GZDoom doom(strict) compat no bugs.

I love your attitude my friend! I'll give this a go if I have time and share my thoughts, but it looks nice!

I'll test this with prboom+ set to -complevel 2 just for giggles. I'll edit this post with the results :^)

 

EDIT: Was able to UVMAX the level with no issues. The use of vanilla textures is very nice, and I like the part where you have to jump through the window for the red keycard. I hate the chainsaw, and even I was able to find something to like in this map! Nice job dude!

 

For the future, especially for making vanilla levels, I recommend testing with something like Crispy Doom, Prboom+, or even Chocolate Doom. It'll give you the most faithful results. When you make a map that is vanilla/boom/mbf compatible, NEVER assume the player is using (G)Zdoom. Hope this helps :^)

I love how shitty D_DM2TTL sounds with that default GS wavetable synth. The instruments all get cut off.

Wild chainsaw map with punch! I imagine speedrunners would enjoy practicing with this one.

I'm gonna be working on figuring out DeHackEd so that the music will work in PRboom +. Definitely gonna want to do that.

Very cool chainsaw massacre map! :-)

 

[StarSpun5000]

I can't put into words how giddy I am right now. I've got the biggest smile on my face. It feels so good to see people not only playing my map, but enjoying themselves. Thank you all so much!

I just want to drop by and say that you should feel good about making a thing :D
Make more things
Feel even better

[thiccyosh]

I played on UV with dsda-doom, I have to say, I love it!

 

This is what I meant in the mappers-block post with short and simple maps that are nice to look at. This map could be any good opener to a community project, it's short and snappy with a kick-ass midi and monsters that stand no chance against your mighty chainsaw!

 

Making small maps made as a labor of love during a mapping break is the spirit every mapper should have!

 

I'm proud of ya'!

[smeghammer]

Just gave this a spin. Yep, very nice! I like short and sweet. Bit of a PC glitchy/stutter at the start, so restarted after about 20 seconds. 

 

Really good fun. Make more please!

 

UV, GZDoom, and I thought I'd use Beautiful Doom gameplay mod (NOT Brutal...), no saves:

I have decided that I'm going to make this map the first map of a whole megawad. I've always wanted to make a full 32 map megawad and now seems like a great time. Let's see what I can come up with!

[Roofi]

I feel heavy scythe/Kama-Sutra vibes so that's great

[Clippy]

Nice map! I like seeing ppl emphasize the chainsaw like this - always fun! I also made a chainsaw only map back in the day but yours  is short and sweet and well made. PS I still think I can get the pistol dudes up there to blow up the barrel with some luck. @Biodegradable joined in to boo me for cheating haha
