a BIG change? (FDp1)

[Xindage]

well the focus of freedoom is DONT copy (in some aspects) the original doom, i know the attention of FreeDoom Phase 1 is low but they copy the original doom in 2 aspects:

1st: We have maps that still copy a little the original like C1M9.

2st: The main Chapters (1 to 3) follow exactly theme of doom: Tech - Tech+Hell - Hell.

Well i think of we can do something like this, Chapter 1 still tech, because tech seen to be under control area for initial players dont think they hve already get in a dangerous area.
For Second chapter i think of pure hell is better and help to dont follow the doom concept, and for episode 3 it can be a void or...? something like this : http://ultradownloads.com.br/papel-de-parede/Espiral-gigante/ in this gallery you can see some images of "something" of i propose to be in third chapter, is like a unreal universe where hell and techs combines.

Final note: It is a heavy change for freedoom and need of maps rebuild and changes well i can do it whitout poblems but i want to know about the public is everyone ok whit that idea?

Space maps yes! But spacey areas can vary by port and need more testing.

We can always shuffle maps by theme. E4 should not be touched.

I don't think the two problems you point out are connected to each other, they can be tackled separately:

1) Copycat maps need to be identified and modified or entirely replaced.

2) I don't like difference for the sake of being different. But the idea of an abstract space theme sounds interesting if implemented properly.

if maps going to be "replaced" or "reworked again" im going to ask to keep my slots as im going to do my own work to "rework" or "replace them" i dont want someone else do it. if freedoom project leaders decide to do this i hope they have the last word on what kind of theme going to follow the episodes so i can reworks my maps to fit the theme they decide

Your maps are some of the best. They will not be touched.
