should i make a wad that is just the realistic arcade machine so people can copy and paste it?

That seems like a good idea! I'm okay with people copy+pasting your arcade machine if they want to!

Hey, cool, it's finally a thing!

Yes, woohoo! So happy that you made your Pac-Man map last year. It put me on track to host this project!

Just a question, since it is now a public resource for everyone to use, can i remove the time it took for me to make the machine from my mapping time?

 

Edit: darn it I've forgotten to remove a function on the machine in the file i sent

I messed up my recording so there's no point in re-recording, cause it won't be a blind run anymore.
- The visuals are amazing

- I like going 'out of bounds' and exploring the areas behind the scenes. Great to see broken equipment, plants growing, etc.
- Grabbing the RL unleashes a ton of imps... making it a very challenging fight if you missed the SSG (and SG) somehow
- Progressing was unclear. I spend 9 minutes looking how to progress, and finally discovering that those fire-things are portals. Make them look more like portals!
- The buttons activating the Cyberdemons (and extra revenants) was interesting. The fight was kind of weird. You get a BFG and a ton of ammo, but the cluttered terrain / instant death pits / zombieman fodder makes it difficult to dodge Cyberdemon rockets. Still, the fight isn't overly challenging, just a little annoying

The music suits the atmosphere well.


Hope this helps!

Ok just played the three submissions:
 

Crashing Clyde's Castle:

  • Cool map, it's simple but you can easily die at the end due to the cramped space if you are not careful. Could easily be a map01.

Test Chamber:

  • I enjoyed the portal mechanic and puzzles involved, though I had to play it two times because I missed the portal hint at the start and I broke the map by jumping :p. Couldn't figure out how to access the secret exit.
Spoiler

I did shoot a switch that required freelook, but it seems to be an easter egg rather than something required for the secret exit.

  • The laser traps were cool but the instakill floors seemed kind of unnecessary in this map, as I never seemed to fall accidentally on them. Maybe they should be moved to some other location where it could make a fight trickier.

The Arcade is a Lie:

  • Pretty nice secret level, I enjoyed the final fight because it makes you watch your step, and the zombiemen shooting can make you eat a stray rocket from the cybers. However, the fight could be more dangerous as the cybers can be dealt with pretty quickly, leaving you with tons of bfg and a bunch of zombiemen standing around.

Didn't seem to find any gamebreaking or visual glitches, but as I said I missed the secret exit in Test Chamber so I can't be 100% sure. I did mostly enjoy the mechanic in all three maps, it reminds me of skulldash, though I find that the Bonus doors in "Test" and "Arcade"  are bit too late for them to matter unless you are kind of speedrunning the map and triggering everything all at once.

 

All around, pretty interesting maps, can't wait to see new submissions!

I realized too late this could have been used to make something seriously "Dark Deception"-ish, ahh well. It looks like a neat concept and some of the maps look pretty interesting to play, I'll have to look through and see what someone of you guys did. (The aesthetic of @Steve88's map above particularly intrigues me!) I see now this isn't as limiting as I felt it was at first. I'm assuming these only run for one month before the next one starts up?
