Pacifist Paradise Secret Santa

A Gift For Tonytheparrot
Map24: Peak Revealed

Being assigned as Tony's secret santa was a pretty straightforward assignment considering we're pretty good friends and talk alot about what we enjoy and play in doom, and bouncing each other's maps back and forth.

I decided to homage Hell Revealed 2 Map32: Playground since it is one of his favorite maps in the set and I think is a good encapsulation of the kind of gameplay he enjoys: Unapologetic bfg spam with some jams playing. 

The map also highlights my current mapping "trends" if you will of moving away from orthogonality and linearity, the switches for progression for example come in pairs but you can press either to progress. And there are no goofy timed fights. I'm quite proud of the map's layout, particularly the central structure, since I drew it mostly by hand so to speak, without curve tool (with minimal uses of rectangle tool for the outer perimeter as you can probably see), which was quite hard to do for the desired ambush that happens in the structure itself. 

Cyberdemon 2-shot arena might seem counterintuitive based on the earlier unapologetic bfg spam comment however I suggest locating Hell Revealations [sic] Map28's secret :P and generally speaking, it's something he enjoys. 

A big revenant crowd is a tony staple (so much so it came up for my map for TSMT), so the finale is a large revenant crowd for you to enjoy bfg spamming down.
