This is... A joke, right?
It's ugly, it's annoying, it's not boom-compatible, you didn't submit with the format, the map is far too easy for the map12 slot, there are tons of texture alignment issues, the progression is vague, the secrets are obvious to the point of boredom... It's a joke! It's a joke. I refuse to believe otherwise.

 

Yikes, dude. This map is clearly coming from someone who's brand-new to Doom mapping -- It's fine to have minimum quality standards for the project, but this sort of vitriol is completely uncalled for. If you're trying to prove that you've got what it takes to be a successful project leader, this is not how you do it.

Hey, don't feel down or demotivated. A good project lead gives feedback in a way that improves and enhances your knowledge.

Clearly that is not the case here, so don't waste your time with this. Focus on yourself for now and don't lose hope, keep learning new things. If I find the time I might check your map and give you some feedback so you can hopefully further develop your mapping talent and identity.

I really hope this isn't the result of epicall's meltdown. I promise that 99% of the people in this community are absolutely lovely, you just need to find the right community project :)

Yeah, a mistake on my part, I was convinced it was a joke and brushed it off like it was nothing. The right thing to do should have been to treat it like any other legitimate map and provide genuine constructive criticism. Sorry to @RileyXY1, that was uncalled for.

Noice. However, i am concerned over how angular some of the natural geometry is, is that intentional?

[Forgotten Soul]

Yes,but some places are not polished.

Here's a little preview of my map:

Spoiler

 

Since I was allowed to add an extra flat for my map 16 submission - I hope that you won't mind the fact that I have added another flat into this map as well.

 

Question for @SpinningPlates1 :

Do you have any ideas for the look of your secret exit area? I just want to know, so I can start building the entrance of my map.

Looks amazing (as always), great work. Also, never said that you can't use custom textures and flats. I just encouraged it for episode 4.

Yeah, I haven't done too much work on the secret exit yet but it ends with the player going outside into this pillar of light (touching the pillar ends the level).

 

Heres what it'll look like I think:

Actually, I have a question about a different extra addition: Am I allowed to implement the music changing feature? I read up on it from the Doomwiki - all it requires is a MUSINFO lump (that I can add into the map submission file once I post the map) and one extra midi file. My idea  is to have a starting midi that is all silence and a secondary midi that will kick in once the player enters the main area of the map.

if it's still boom-compatible, go right ahead.

It has been used in the first map of Ancient Aliens, which is listed as a boom-compatible wad, so it should be fine.

I don't have a lot of time to build a map in this week.

жжжжжжжж weekly progress.

[Garland]

I've got a loose perspective of the map area, now I need to start making pathways and fill them with monsters and darkness. While I like adding detail, that needs to wait.

That effect is possible in Boom? How is that done?

i think it's tied to ghost sectors and uses the strobe sequence specials

Sector special 8 (Glow), voodoo doll conveyor belt with silent teleport and several Linedef 81s.

This section is back open again, apologies for the inconvenience.

I’m dropping out. I thought EPICALLL has no idea what he’s doing so I looked into what he’s done in the past and I think this project is just completely doomed on so many levels that I’m just gonna get out.

Fair enough, I do admit my level of experience is quite low.

Anyways, good luck on whatever your future endeavours may be!

[Ar_e_en]

I'm still trucking along! I'm 30% to 40% done with my 3rd map submission!
