Hummm... Lots of hitscanners with little or no cover to hide from. Overuse of non-linearity. I get it that it's nice to have multiple paths but too much non-linearity can lead to getting lost or going in circles. Ammo/health starvation and overreliance on monster infighting. Excessive use of Arch-viles throughout the map. Forgetting to remove secret tag on room stairs due to setting it before making the steps. Cramped Cyberdemon fights. Liberal use of Chaingunner and/or Revenant snipers from 500+ units away. Excessive platforming, be it ZDoom or non-ZDoom style. Corridors too thin to dodge enemy projectiles. Maps with far too many mid and upper tier enemies in groups without adequate weaponry. Mega-slaughterwads. I do love myself slaughtermaps but there is a point when it becomes a slog to kill 20+ Hell Knights multiple times, such as Holy Hell.

Yeah, Clear Focus was meant to be simple and straightforward. There's a harder version of it but still below say, E2M6 in difficulty.

I've always had a knack for traps in my own maps (list in my "About Me") in a variety of methods. Teleports are common in my later maps but I also particularly enjoyed the red key trap in "The Unnamed Base" which had a combination of doors fast closing and other surprises.

This one has grown on me, from Italian death metal band Organic. It's their 2021 album cover.

It's great to hear things like this, especially from a kid's perspective. Sooner or later, she'll probably want to pick up the game and play it again because of her prior experience and move up on the skill level over time.

By not using MegaTextures, for one.

At least upstate New York has a lot more green, hills, mountains and is colder up here in general.

Why is Scream still going on? It's like Hellraiser where they should have stopped after the third movie..

Demon: Pinkies Revenant: Skeleton, Skelly Mancubus: Fatty/Fatties Chaingunner: Commando Cyberdemon: Cyber A boring name list, I know.

Spaghetti & Meatballs. Made with spaghetti pasta, not linguine or other types.

If you didn't think that was hard enough, I think the raw challenge of Maps of Chaos's "Overkill Edition" would be up your alley. E2M8 is not what you think it is for that one if you play that :) Doom is done (didn't bother with E4) but I ended up stopping at MAP27 due to lack of motivation so the remaining maps are from the "Hardcore" version. I'd still recommend try playing through the original Doom maps in that first.

On some of the feline mounts in Elder Scrolls Online, getting them to a sprinting animation there is part of the demon see sound, while the camel mounts have one of the imp death sounds used.

That's a real gem to find there! Now the question is where is the original Howie Scream recordings, also a well known sound clip used in movies and games.

Already getting a good impression playing the original Doom music tracks inside SLADE.. One thing I'd suggest is making a changelog text file included in the 7z archive.

Friend learned about it, lost interest right away as he is a big Marathon fan. Extraction shooters are garbage to begin with, not everyone wants their first experience of a series that is supposed to be both single and multiplayer.
