Hello guys! Been a while since I posted a WAD so why not a double set. These two maps were to be the first two of a ten map episode I was working on a while ago but lost interest in so I decided to keep the only two finished ones and release them while I work on something new. They are a mixture of vanilla and a slight twinge of custom textures. I hope you guys like them they are short but sweet!

Short and sweet experience, like my favorite cup of coffee, if you ask me!

Here is some small notes and videos, bro!

 

MAP01: "Under the Influence"

Fast action-paced map with only enemies to kill.

I love that fact that you just give me SSG right from the start.

Mapping is simple, but have nice details overall.

MA02: "Gutter Flow"

This map is more explorational (as I can feel).

Some details is very nice, like indication for lowering floor or opened "real" door near booth with terminal in it.

I am glad that before end I've enjoyed using my obtained rocket launcher.

Overall, that was like I love. Maps are short and not tedious to complete.

Gonna be very glad to see your future maps, my dear Doomer-comrade!

 

P.S.: Isn't there a 3rd music track in that WAD?

fun play

Had a grand old time with this l'il set!

My friend Dubbag is back, good to see you're mapping again!

[Somniac]

Nice snappy double act, I liked it! Nice MIDIs and there was some really cool features, like the open door and that elevator that had the silver lines marking where it goes down. I did find a HOM in the Caco elevator in MAP02 in GZDoom, but that's minor. A solid bite-sized WAD. 

[Dusty_Rhodes]

Woah, new Dubbag wad! Can't wait to play bud.

[Dusty_Rhodes]

Really fun two maps! I really enjoy your combat, you never give too much health or ammo, which keeps me on my toes. I really liked the details with the new textures, especially in Map02 with the open door and computer. The midi selection was also on point. Solid wad dude.

[Dubbag]

thank you all for you're kind words! Im glad everyone liked it so much! you are the best!

Played it(no recordings).

 

Watched clippys (and everyone elses) video. To answer your question about keys: 

 

Key hunts are usually good when the key is visible and the player needs to find a way around it. I've found that in tech bases, keys are not really mandatory, since switches can do most of that job. It tends to be the same in caves and most natural environments. However, if you ever need a player to cross a certain linedef, putting a key there is a good way to do it.

 

Your wads did have Sandy's feel, felt more experimental plays. That's always good to see.

 

About custom textures: Instead of putting them together before making a wad, you could try what I do. I keep a bunch of textures around on my hard drive. But I don't enter them in to my wads at all, unless it's a community project with precompiled textures. 

Even then, until I find that something is lacking, I tend to avoid custom textures.

Basically, until you feel you really need a custom texture, no need to use them. So you've used them perfectly. Only as easter eggs of where needed.

 

Also, multi-wad projects do take longer. And as you start making them, you may notice that you'll release a lot of solo maps or smaller projects before continuing on with a megawad. Atleast, that's what I do, lol. (I have a tri-wad in the works at the moment among other projects.)

 

Just keep the failed projects in a seperate "layouts" or something similar. You'll end up using them in another project most of the time.

 

And no, on second map, the secret is perfectly cryptic. It did not need any clarity. Also, I would swap middle brown ashwall with the bottom zimmer. Would fit with the chaotic theme of the base more.

 

@Clippy well... You'll play with faster projectiles more soon enough lol.

Yes, this is a great mod.

And I would like to see a big wad, even a megawad from such maps.

Because big non-linear maps, very long or open maps, lack of ammunition and slaughter maps - all this periodically bothers you.

[dmnwizard]

Dub Bag, I played your maps and I really like them both. I would like to play a bigger mapset. Here's my gameplay containing my full review in the video description:
