A New 100 Line Mapset (Demo)

[Raith138]

I have decided to make my own 100 line megawad and would like some feedback on if my mapping style works for this.

Screenshots:

I have only done a few maps so it won't release for a while.

The maps are designed for pistol start and are in slot 03 and 04.

Do the likes mean that they are good?

Probably shouldn't use negative language, like 'worst' maps, to advertise your wad. The players will decide for themselves how good or bad the maps are. Anyways these maps are fun.

[Raith138]

Thanks, are there any things you think could be improved?

You can save some lines by using the boom elevator (down to lowest or next floor) specials for monster closets. Saves having to build in a door to hide the closet.

 

Not 100 lines specific but using some angled lines (instead of 90 degree corners) can help with areas feeling short on detailed geometry etc, and using things like tech lamps, columns etc can help with detail in place of detailed geometry as well.

 

Enjoy the process :)

Definitely use more decorative things.

 

Avoid doors where possible, they chew lines up fast.

Also, look to make lines do double-duty.  e.g. if you're changing floor height, also consider changing ceiling height and texture at the same time.

If anyone wants I can message you all of my maps for playtesting.

These are the weakest maps in my opinion.

Very neat maps, though a little blocky and indeed sparse in detail. One way to save lines is i.e. to have separate rooms directly adjacent to one another but on different levels (share a line). I'd love to see more of these!

[Raith138]

I got 8 more so I can do that. I can message you them for playtesting.

[Raith138]

I use the monsters I place as decoration becuase I am keeping in mind that they drop dead bodies.

I can't really fix them being blocky because I have limited lines but I am trying to add more decoration.
