what are you working on? I wanna see your wads.

@pcorf  A likesphere doesn't quite convey how much I really, really love this style of architecture. It makes my heart happy.

Yep. Love it. Got any sort of demo yet? @Solmyr

[Solmyr]

@dybbuk81 Thanks. Not yet, but the map is 95% done, i have to tweak monster placement, ammo and health in UV.

 

Its a single, small, almost medium sized map, but with different monsters and different, item and decoration placement for each difficulty setting. I'm aiming for vanilla compatibility but it has the save buffer overrun issue as a result of having almost 800 things per setting.

Extremely WIP, but one day this will be a map. Something abstract and portal-heavy with purps and greys and reds. It is called The Loose End, for that is what it is.

[xScavengerWolfx]

My first plutoina wad that started as a mere thing turned into an actual map. Please note: This is the newer updated one that is coming out soon when i'm finished. 

 

Edit: Update #2 of this map is finally done! If you want to play this for yourself please do and feed back is always welcome. I will leave a link to the post here: 

I have screen shots of the map in the post. Again if you want to play it check it out and feed back is always welcome. It helps me get better at mapping.

Did i mention i love colormap fuckery? I love colormap fuckery.

Sector colors, dynamic lights and scripting is where it's at, currently. Proud to be a UDMF fanboy :)

Spent a lot of time building this area. Gimmick of this area (and whole map) is time travel. You must constantly change the timeline in order to survive the encounters, and both timelines have different combat scenarios. For example, spider mastermind can only damage player in "future" timeline, but due desctuction, the amount of cover is limited, so player need to jump to the "past" timeline. At the same time, in the "past" timeline, the player will most likely be overwhelmed by the number of demons and limited in movement due to the nukage leak, so eventually player must jump back in "future" timeline.

Deimos base level 3 final room. I need to add items, monsters & a bit of furnishing to complete the map...

Yes please, more of this!  I can't wait to see what you cook up next.  Tapestry of Stones (and Babelism from RAMP1) were both phenomenal and used plenty of UDMF magic.  I can't imagine the quality of work getting better so it's exciting to see what'll be on the horizon for your next piece.

Here are some screenshots for an unfinished map pack I'm working on as well as a mod...

I haven't really messed around with mapping or played Doom in general in a little while, but I was working on this... an then promptly stopped when I realized it wasn't any fun to play. Lesson learned: always make sure your maps are fun to play first before detailing haha. I may come back to it at some point, but ehhh... It'd be a lot of trouble to rework. Probably better to just start something new. Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way! Also, a lot of the screens posted in this thread look outstanding! Really crazy what people can do with this game.

I've only just started attempting to map myself, but @AlexMax's phrasing a couple of months back just burned itself into my brain:

1. Don't detail a map until they GRAYTALL version is interesting to move around in and fun to play.

 

I'm still learning how to assemble basic architecture, and even what textures are available, let alone how they look together, so I forgive myself for throwing things down just to see how they look at this stage - I'm still checking what's possible. But I've also noticed that I have a lot of trouble creating interesting combat setups, so I'm slowly learning to build those from the ground up, then design the architecture to suit.

 

tl;dr: you done gived yourself good advice, keep at it.

 

Also, your detailing is absolutely gorgeous.

Even without changing architecture, the gameplay of an area can be massively changed just by altering the numbers, kinds, and positions of enemies and

items. Still, with just the -nomonsters view of the rooms, I guess we'll have to take you at your word that the encounter or encounters wouldn't be fun.

It seems a waste, though.

Judging from what I saw, the areas seem perfectly viable for fun gameplay. It just takes appropriate teleport destinations, monster and item placement, and some playtesting.  If you want to toss what you have my direction and give me an idea as to what difficulty level you're looking for the UV to be, I could give the placement of stuff a whirl.

Nice to see a slow plasma weapon (cool change of pace) and the bullethell-ish bunch of projectiles from the monster fellas.
