Little Italo [RC1] (-cl9)

[lunchlunch]

Imitation is the unironic-est form of flattery.
 

Little Italo is a tribute wad featuring ten maps each from @raddicted and myself. Generally these maps are a little shorter or easier than the original's, but don't expect a beginner-friendly wad... these are still challenge maps directly inspired by Italo Doom's general philosophy.

Overall it feels almost exactly like Italo, great job on making it feel like Italo DLC. Loved a lot of the transforming geometry, and reuse of space and the super low and small linedef counts on some maps.

Im playing through it right now and its super fun. It is indeed the italo doom formula but a bit more easier and less grindy which its super fine by me. So far all the maps have been great. The texture themes are also on point and so the midi selection. Map01 has that shocking start already, but it feels nice that at least i can move around and play for a bit instead of instantly dying over and over again, the same goes for the others maps. 

 

Feels good to have the music again been completely muted by the sounds of scream and chaos, even if the midi is already loud haha.

gg started playing this I got a bug report on map01 - the ALLBLACKF sector in the end there is non-damaging and a softlock currently. Not sure if on purpose but I sort of assume it's supposed to kill you.

 

Back to playing, grats on release.

This is great!

Glad these maps are short because Im not a great player lol.  With saves Im having a great time.  It did take me a while to figure out how to exit map04 though, I thought I was softlocked until I tried rocketing myself at the right angle on the exit pillar...

[Arbys550]

I'd definitely recommend this mapset! I had a lot of fun playtesting it

Italo enthusiast here, even though I haven't really played it xd maybe I should start with this one instead since it's quite literally its little brother. I wonder what its bigger brother would look like, probably something very mean.

That would be Big Italo.

Amazing mapset, was so happy for the first midi.

 

Minor comment: Italo NOMO places tons of cyberdemons on map 1, it's hilarious, perhaps consider doing so since you used italo's difficulty names
