No Escape (cancelled)

[Xeebleton]

No Escape is a work-in-progress megawad for Doom II Hell on Earth. It will include 15 maps (+ 2 secret levels), custom music (none of them being made by me, check "Music credits" for original music credits), and more! I want to make sure that this megawad will be challenging and fun for everyone, so Im making it open-beta! Enjoy!

If those screenshots are indicative of the overall quality of the wad, 32 maps is too ambitious. As I've told a dozen other mappers this week, start small and go for quality over quantity. Your screenshots show extreme texture repetition, flat layouts, texture misalignment, poor architecture, and cheap placement of weapons and items.

Noted. Thanks for the criticism!

My opinions on the wad are pretty much what has already been said.

Your second map is not your own work. It's just a straight up copy of E1M1. At the very least the maps should be your own work, and no the minimal changes you made don't count. By all means take inspiration from others maps, make a homage to other maps, recreate small bits if you must, but don't straight-up dupe other people's levels and put your name on them.
