[/idgames] Ciudad Empresarial - A vanilla map inspired by A.L.T.'s city maps

[Cacodemon187]

Hello Doomworld! I'm here with yet another solo map with a cool aesthetic, this time set in a desolate city at sunset...

 

                                                                                           CIUDAD EMPRESARIAL

Ciudad Empresarial is a vanilla map inspired by the early city levels of A.L.T. and my own previous works, most notably El Viaje de Diciembre.

The map takes you through some kind of apartment complex, up onto the roof, down into the parking lot and finally out on the avenue. It's a mostly straightforward layout, and should take you about 20 minutes to beat blind.

There's a catch though: I've added three new monsters through DeHackEd!

 

NEW ENEMIES:

Class II Imp: A fast Imp that continuously shoots projectiles until you're out of its line of sight.

 

 

Class II Baron: A regular Baron of Hell that shoots a string of 5 projectiles instead of just 1. As a trade-off, it has the health of an Archvile (700 HP) compared to its original 1000 HP.

 

 

Cyberdemon Jr.: A baby Cyberdemon with the health of a Hell Knight (500 HP). NOT immune to splash damage, meaning you can trick them into blowing themselves up, or infighting with other baby cybies.

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty proud of the visuals and combat of the map. The latter specially since it's a very different style of design from what I've done before, and I think I did well :)

The map is pretty difficult on UV, so I suggest doing your first playthrough on HMP or lower.

Special thanks to @NinjaDelphox, @finnks13, and @Monsieur E for playtesting!!

 

Any comments and feedback are appreciated :)

This looks epic.

Why i can't get enough of your maps? I played a bit of the man until my ass was beaten by the archvile and fast imps, but still good job.

Ah, the STRAIN Class II Imp and "Minister of Hate" baby Cybies, cool to see classic DeHackEd monsters in modern releases! Love that sky btw, and A.L.T. was a really cool megawad with surprisingly modern flair for having been released in 2012.

The STRAIN bestiary is top tier, and I love A.L.T.'s atmosphere more than anything. The design (both visually and combat-wise) feels very 2000's, but I didn't mind. Really cool and weird set of levels!

I hadn't thought about it quite that way before, but it did foresee (or maybe inspire) a lot of people embracing intense, melancholy surrealist Doomweird later on, and the general mentality of "fuck the rules" that a lot of people have adopted to bring that about (although I think a lot of what worked about ALT is that it wasn't actively trying to fuck the rules, it just wasn't that interested in them -- a fine line to tread, to be sure).

 

@Cacodemon187, anything channeling ALT is going to be a hit with me. I enjoyed this map and Viaje a lot. It doesn't matter much, but the mini-Cyber's hitbox might be a tiny bit smaller than it feels like it should be?

Ooh you're right, the baby cybie's hitbox is 32 units square, when it should be 40 units instead. I'll fix that for the /idgames release. Thank you!

Thank you all for playing and leaving your comments. The map is now on /idgames!! (probs the quickest idgames release I've done lol)

Look out for a new release in the next couple of days ;)

Wacky map the tiny cyber was cute but the coked up baron was annoying. Unique stuff as always

Are you going to release these city maps as one wad?

Nope, this is just a one-off.
