[Half-Shitpost] Octagon Processing

[⇛Marnetmar⇛]

Do you like octagons? Trick question -- of course you do! 

 

That's why it may appall you to find out that John Romero has been keeping all the octagons for himself! That's right, our beloved John Romero is an octagon thief! Want proof? 

 

Did you know that in the pre-release versions of Doom, Central Processing had a lovely octagon, smack in the middle of the map? You might even say it was the centerpiece. Until one day, that is -- when it mysteriously disappeared without a trace:

 

 

I took it upon myself to find the missing octagon, and after a long and arduous search across many continents, I found it and have returned it to its rightful place, right at home in E1M6.

Argh,  I'm running on two hours of sleep and posted this in the Doom General forum on accident. I ask that a mod politely move it while I go weep in embarrassment. thx obsidian

I like maps with big rooms, alternate routes and the like. if you do it right, they become setpeices. Youve got to know about a type of convergence wherein 6 or more entries into whatever room has got to offer something other than just the combat there or its a kill floor. I been exploring Deathmatch with a friend on this exact thing. This has got some good stuff to it, even if its enclosed or pathed out. I would recommend more pinkies for this.

 

Its very nice. I actually love this map. You did good.

Just looking at the map I would think they felt there was not enough variation with this map.

It was already one of the best maps in Doom 1 and this is an upgrade. Whats not to like?

I typically lean more towards later chapters, but only because the early is far too simple to encourage replay.

 

This changes that.
