No it's not, it's an experiment. The obvious result of someone fucking around in an editor and posting the brainshart that occurred.

 

Okay.

 

If "shadow invased earth" and "shadow hell" looks like the wad you posted, it's not a very good artstyle.

 

Damn near as creative as the title of a AAA game in 2018.

 

Your thread is just a request for someone to make you a map with a theme that you cannot even describe coherently yourself. You're not asking for "help". You're asking for someone to do something for you, posting a complete turd of a map that has no relevance to your idea. If this is supposed to be a community project, it's terrible - you couldn't even be bothered to make your OP look halfway decent.

 

It's crap, and you know it, but you still posted it. So I'm here to confirm that:

 

1) It is indeed crap.

 

and

 

2) Nobody here with a hint of talent is going to waste their time making the map you want.

Ouch 😬

here are my ideas:

 

1 it would be vanilla (complevel 2 limit removing) because the original engine is epic

2 the theme of this wad would be colorless i thought that there would be 2 episodes one on a shadow energy invased earth and the second half semewhere in shadow hell(something like later sunlust levels just not yellow bu white lights

 

Like others here, I'm not sure what exactly you meant on point 2. Maybe this can give you some idea or hint since you mentioned colorless. So you better examine.

You're making me scared already.

 

Good luck.

I sincerely think that someone who has started mapping and is already setting goals that they don't even know how to get to is a very bad idea to start with, as the others said, start little by little, trial and error, keep practicing, learn from your experiences. mistakes, watch tutorials, learn things, play wads to get inspired, and so on, I honestly don't call myself a good mapper, I mean, my maps don't make a visual mess, and I've improved A LOT since the last time I published a map on Doomworld ( I have yet to post some) so don't feel bad, if I say that when you start your maps are going to be shit, the first map is always like that, so keep improving, take criticism and things like that.  And please, don't set goals that you don't even know how to achieve or when you know you don't have enough talent.  that :3

Imagine you took the original textures and got rid of thier colors and then built something like sunlust map 29 (visually)

Im setting that goal because i believe i can do it i may be delusional but its better to be delusional than to quit. Also i started working on a new map so i can post it here i guess i'll try to make it look like what i wanna do in shadowSlaughter/shadowslayer just without the textures cuz i dunno how can i make/get them

Back in the old times it'd be in Post Hell probably before making it even to Page 2 by now.

Judging by the overall postings on this thread: No, it might just be better to quit.

 

Especially since you don't sound like you are understanding what you can do to improve your work.

Imagine posting about asking or having an idea, having people tell you what you can do to improve on it and then just ignore all of it.

 

God i love it here.

Ok, then why are flipping people shit then? Like i've read all the comments in here and i get this feeling that you're just ignoring what people are suggesting and being an ass to them, that's just me viewing the comments your saying to everyone.

 

But hey if you like doing this kinda of stuff, more power to you man.

[Obsidian]

Hot tip guys! Being rude to someone won't make them take your advice onboard, regardless of its quality and accuracy.

 

@KABOM93, I would recommend working on your mapping fundamentals and tempering your expectations for the end product for the time being: maybe play some projects that you admire (ideally ones that aren't too grandiose in scale) and see how they tackle mapping structure and gameplay flow. It takes some time to improve, but I can assure you that it's time well invested.
