First published WAD

[Claymore]

Hi, I've been lurking and making maps on and off, but never really got around to publish anything, so I decided to make this small map01 and try and get over "stage fright"
Also I can't really think of a name for it.

Info:
 - 47 monsters, 3 secrets, 28 items
 - Difficulties not implemented yet, designed for singleplayer
 - Requires Freedoom (freedoom2.wad) as the IWAD,
 - Architecture roughly inspired by Quake 2,
 - Finished in about 3 days,
 - Designed with Boom in mind, won't work in vanilla,
 - Tested on Woof 10.5.1, PrBoom+ 2.5.1.4 and GzDoom g4.8.1,
 - Made with Ultimate Doom Builder

Screenshots (taken with PrBoom+ and -nomonsters, also sorry, I don't know how to properly insert images into the post):

That was a cool map. I specially like the secret yellow key stuff

also, feel free to name it anything, even if it's something stupid because you'll get more attention that way(though this is FreeDoom on the other hand so idk)!

This is really good for a first published map.

 

Detail level was pretty good for being done in three days.

 

Balance on UV was good as well. I never ran too low on health and ammo but neither was I swimming in it. Pacing was right in the Goldilocks zone where I like it - not too slow, not too fast.

 

Good use of vertical space.

 

I like the optional yellow key. This is something I wish more maps did. When I get to the exit linedef and realize I never did open the yellow door, or whatever color key, it makes me have to go back and get 100%. Bonus OCD points if you can 100% a level and whatever is behind the door has no monsters, items or secrets (ammo+health?).

This was a fun little map! Not too hard, not too big, fairly generous with ammo. Only read about the Quake 2 influence just now, but I did think of Quake 2 while playing! Favourite part was the exit room. I'm a sucker for nice outdoor views and this was nicely done.
