It depends on what I feel like at the time. It was nice to make a single map for RAMP, but I've done singles and more previously. I did a 9 map pack, but I'm not sure I'd do that again unless I gave myself a heap of time to do it. Most of my maps last around 10 minutes or less, but I spend days, weeks or even months working on them. My most recent wad, Dark Matter was two maps in length.

RAMP 2024 - Newcomer-friendly community project!
CravenCoyote replied to DavidN's topic in WAD Releases & Development
Should we upload our maps to 'reserve' a map spot? By this, I mean to be allocated a map number for use with DoomEd options which are listed here. From the Rules page: The recommended formula is to use [(your map number) * 100] as a starting point, but this won't be possible for all maps due to the numbers of existing Doom objects. I've just checked and it didn't work with my GZDoom version either (v 4.10.0) but it works fine with the latest version (v 4.12.2) -

WAD now updated with a second map, Dark Envy. As always, my maps are generally pretty short. I hope you enjoy the second map as much as the first - perhaps more. OP updated with the new file. There are some extremely minor modifications that have been made to the first map as well. Nothing that warrants a re-play unless you want to!

How would you describe your mapping philosophy?
CravenCoyote replied to NiGHTS108's topic in WAD Discussion
My maps tend to be small but detailed - I'll map for up to a month and end up with a 10 minute map. Often, but not always, they are tech-base inspired. I generally avoid large, out-door areas and stick with internal structures where I can make creative use of lighting. I aim for my maps to provide a fun, immersive experience and I choose my monsters and their locations to compliment this. I want to make weapon choice take at least some kind of consideration to handle encounters. I do not enjoy slaughter, nor do I enjoy maps if they are too easy or too difficult. A map where I can finish with about half health and just enough ammunition feels about the right level of challenge. -

Just got around to playing this and I had a blast. I loved the aesthetics of this one. I always struggle with revenants so I'd go into ultra panic mode whenever an Arch Vile turned up to undo my handiwork. Fun map, thank you.

Was fun to play, I love maps like this. Last time I heard that door sound was Von Helsings Mansion I think! And who was wearing high heels around this grand house? My one little bit of advice here would be to make some lines impassable (for example, around the pool table). It helps when you have things like the low beams that you can get 'stuck' on. You should be able to merge the map wad, textures wad and dehacked file into one single wad so that three files are not needed :)
