Whisper of the Heart - a short Boom-compatible Speedmap Set (Now on idgames!))

[Phoenyx]

Whisper of the Heart is just a WAD I made in an hour whilst I was bored waiting to go to a family party. 

This is mainly all just speedrun fodder, so if you are looking for a casual and mind-opening experience, this is not it. 

That being said, these maps were not built without any love or care, there was some thought put into all of them (even if it doesn't seem like it)

Build times range from about a minute to ten minutes. 

 

Hope you enjoy :)

Lovely one hour set, thank you for sharing it! I had fun, and I only IDDQD'ed twice! MAP04 truly is of nice design. Looking forward to what you would do with such a room and 10 hours, instead of 20 minutes!

It's definitely a style that I want to expand on in future WADs. In fact, one of my maps in Junk Food 3 does use a similar aesthetic to this but it is much more involved. Hopefully later this year, or early next year, I'll make some smaller WADs that feature designs of a similar nature to Map 04 and Clouded Eyes. Thank you for the kind words :D
