Thanks @Clippy!

[DoomGappy]

I wanted to play something else by you ever since I played your map for Doom 2 in Song Only (which I'll finish properly later). This was really fun, and the last part was really surprising. Very nice map.

Didn`t you make a Christmas WAD with festive monsters? Imps with red pointy hats? Candy throwing cyberdemons?

[Blacklight]

Cool ONEWAD! I liked it!

 

We need to evaluate Other Works somehow. Which do you think I should evaluate from the released Works?

Sorry for bumping an old thread (though, it's february, so playing winter themed wads is still appropriate to me, haha), but I found an issue with this map, below, under spoiler.

Spoiler

There's a possible softlock on this map. 

One of the sides of this door can only be opened once, but the other side is not only repeatable, but also can be activated by monsters.

When fighting 2 archviles, I ran all the way down, and resurrected monsters got near the door and closed it. I couldn't open it anymore, making a key inside inaccesable. Obviously, later, a monster opened a door again, so I could enter, but I guess if you kill the last monster as he closes the door, you'll never get inside, also if player for some reason closes it before leaving. I think it should be changed.

Also, would be nice to have a way to come back from last area to the main area to find the remaining secrets and missing enemies (for us, 100% nerds). Maybe revealing teleport back after pressing all of the switches?

 

 

But yeah, overall, other than that, I loved this map, very fun to play, and looks beautiful with a lot of cool/funny detail and interesting exploration. Good job!
