I've got a fun idea for a deathmatch community project!
It will be for mappers who have never published a deathmatch map before!
This will be a speedmapping session, essentially - mappers will be given 3 hours to complete a DM map from beginning to end.
This will be very free-form, in the sense that only one major rule, (other than the time limit) is to be followed:
Maps that are perfectly symmetrical arenas will not be accepted. Everything else will be fair game - this is a speedmapping session after all.
I've been experimenting w/ speedmapping in my recent mapping streams on Twitch. My most recent deathmatch map was completed in 2 hours 26 minutes.
Here's a VOD of the stream - I'll likely include this as the first map in the project - mapping begins at 0:3:50 and ends at 2:30:08. :
I'll make a full project thread some point soon, once I've got things fully figured out, was thinking of 'Accelerated Arenas' as a potential name - but yeah, that's the gist of it!
The project will be organized on my personal Discord server, - here's an invite link if anyone is interested:

Thanks to @Ludi for encouraging me to do such a project!
Hey Doomworld. If anyone has wondered where I've vanished off too, don't worry, didn't die or anything, for those who don't talk with me on Discord!
Way back when I logged on last, school and my mental state were really beating me down, and I ended up allowing it to take over, and inevitably I began avoiding the forums since it felt like a hassle to keep track of. Now that I'm in a better place, figured why not try and come back!
Hopefully I can still be a useful MIDI creator every now and then, even if I'm gonna be trying to only take on small workloads, as that was part of what caused me to want to leave for so long.
