The_MártonJános

Subpar confidence, but also a go-to attitude to get by. Most days my shortcomings aren't triggered, however the few instances they are, they leave a lasting bad mood.

Did something happen? It's been 3 weeks... I understand life sometimes gets busy, I'd just want to see if this is getting anywhere at all. Again, sorry if I intruded too much.

Also, the sky in the right side of the scrolling image - with the peaceful bunny, where it starts from - is the same Episode 4 uses later.

I particularly find it hilarious how Romero thought of locking the alternate route to the yellow key with the blue card - behind the lowering portion of the wall in the toxic pit - however, you can access the final rooms without the yellow key anyways, through the curvaceous tunnel on the other side of the same toxic pit (still requiring the blue key, as far as I'm aware) only this time you're softlocking yourself beyond the yellow door triplets.

I mean, you can still leave that room via the door? It's only the first room you can't re-enter - and lose access to a secret as well - once you get past the MARBFAC2 (Archvile relief) door. Also, how the teleporter basically takes you to the wooden area where you get the yellow skullkey is another level of weird. E4 sure has its own highlights from start to finish.

Did you also find the hidden teleporter right besides the entrance to that area?

Without anything to really elaborate on, 2022:ADO E3M5, Putrescent Dirge. Map's a beast in size and very rarely not well telegraphed, but also is bloody beautiful (no pun intended on this one, it's filled to the brim with Hellgrowth, gore and flesh visuals.)

The first two map attempts I've committed in Doom Builder back then in late June 2009. First one I didn't save at all, second one I wanted but I somehow overwrote the file. The latter I especially regret because it was an actually extensive attempt at an E1M6 style map which I could expand on once I got the basics of layout and placement 101 down. But oh well.

The first half is depicting physical pain. The second part is giving you mental pain with all the puzzle thingamajig around.

I don't think E1M2 is deadly enough to die to it even while blind running, so you could go the same route you did with E4M7 :)

I watched your video and enjoyed it a lot (also gave feedback.) Expect me to compile the download I promised in the following 3-5 business days. :) [EDIT] requesting a new submission. E1M2 from the same file I uploaded, called "Neutron Reactor." This one was laid out in 2013 and finished in 2017, 4 years later (basically the last map I finished before I left the project to "rot.") Same settings as for "Forsaken Resort" (difficulty, compatibility, run type, etc.) Soundtrack is "Watz Next?" from the Rise of the Triad OST.

@Astro X I also noticed you do commentary gameplay. I don't know if you plan on doing commentary on these playtests, but if you do, please make sure to listen to how my name (MártonJános) is pronounced on the Hungarian setting of Google Translate.

I'd be pleased. [Upload deleted, separated .wad file is here] Map: E4M7 Title: Forsaken Resort Difficulty: UV Run: Practiced, preferably 100% Compatibility: should be Vanilla, although I never tested on that compatibility myself. If it complains about anything I may have overlooked, try PrBoom+, if that doesn't do the charm either, just use GZDoom with Vanilla settings. Notes: - I made this map over 12 years ago, and while other maps in the wad were tested and reviewed by other users, this one got, by large, overlooked. - At least two of the secrets are rather cryptic, so if you decide to do a 100% secrets run, I definitely recommend checking the map out in Doom Builder first. - The track playing in the map is the same as in valkiriforce's Eternally Yours MAP07 ("Attack Ship - Covert Assault" (Iceplug) [Perfect Dark]) - The (deprecated) zip's name had nothing to do with me asking you to play E4M7 specifically. :)

Had one about some map I, according to the dream, have done like over a decade ago. The real strange thing is, even though the dream gave me that memory fair and clear, in reality I've never done that map, nor have done anything similar. I didn't load it up in the game, but in Doom Builder instead, but I had vague recalls of its gameplay. The layout included, but wasn't limited to: - a very tall and also kinda spacious marble area with face relief pillars, enough to hold like 4 Cyberdemons without battle cluster, yet only having Imps; also it had a halfway attempt at a lightray propagation effect, coming from the assumed entrance to it - the back side was all lit up nevertheless, despite the pillars. - another marble hallway leading towards the exit - in the northeastern corner, a disjointed (accessed via teleporter) large, dark, rectangular area, must have been holding one of the keys and included a Baron fight - the northwestern corner had the starting area with the same aesthetic like the one of Against Thee Wickedly, and on the 2D mode, it was seen I made it having the shape and features of a monster head, also disjointed - in the southwest, there was yet another detached room with zigzaggy linedefs and Magma Hell visuals. The map overall was rather underwhelming, haphazardly and inconsistently designed, and unless where was stated otherwise, it majorly had orthogonal walls and lines. Which would not have been out of place regarding my 2009-2010 mapping, given it was also laid out in the manner to be perfectly fitted inside a rectangle. But I still insist that I've never made this particular map in my life, ever.
