lil'devil Posted September 24, 2016 Pretty cool map, riderr3! But it's rather too difficult for me.. I've played it on HMP and wasn't able to make it to the end, got spammed by revenants' and mancubi's fire. I liked the challenge, but your map seems a bit too heavy on chaingunners and revenants, and a bit too low on ammo in some places, since there was a part where i had to kill lost souls with a rocket launcher. Or maybe your map just isn't really for my level. Should've played it on HNTR probably. Difficulty elements aside, i liked the design and non-linearity element in the map. Got lost a couple of times, but everything else is fine. Good map, anyway! Reveal hidden contents Also, found this baron mural spitting acid quite funny: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted September 24, 2016 Played Dance of the Satyrs. Here is a demo. Technically well-made but sorry, this gotta be one of the most tedious maps I've played in a while. The author needs to learn about the importance of pacing. He needs to realize that not every area has to be filled to the brim with snipers and all sorts of tough monsters. Also, not every switch has to trigger an invasion and spawn an arch-vile that resurrects everything. Repopulating empty locations is a good way to breathe some life into your map, but at some point it just becomes obnoxious and makes the player feel tired. Just my onion. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tough monster placement. Expand FDA: catch. Phew, well, your maps surely do take a while to finish, especially for a topographical cretin like me. Lengthy demo, slightly exceeding 1 hour. Lots of wandering around when I'm not shooting stuff. In any case - I got exactly what I expected from you, a sprawling map featuring mishmash of visual themes, lots of baddies everywhere (with hitscanner snipers being the backbone of demonic forces pretty much in every location) and not-so-obvious progression line. Not bad, if anything - your style remains unchanged. Yet I can see Memfis' point, even if I don't wholeheartedly agree with it. Maps of this caliber can indeed be tiresome. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

After Cereal Killer I thought I should try this one as well, all I can say now is that it's totally different.

Inspiration: Many maps Author's comments: This is what was going to be my DMP2015 map. Everything up to the red key room was designed in 2015 (when I didn't really understand what I wanted to have in maps), the rest was made two days ago in a creativity drive influenced by procrastination and being somewhat stunned.

joe-ilya Posted September 27, 2016 Level name : The Map With Class Author(s) : Ilya "Joe" Lazarev (joe-ilya) Build time : A couple weeks (No rush, taking my time) Editor(s) used : Doom Builder 2, slade 3. Compatibility: Vanilla Music track : Rush - Limelight (From DWANGO 6) Playtesting : Vanilla doom (Doom 2 v1.9 .exe) Difficulty settings : Only for UV, NM and multiplayer, too lazy for the rest. Bugs : You can find a drawseg overflow near the red key card in vanilla doom. Inspiration : DWANGO series, real world aspects and my brainz. Author's comments : Slapped together a bunch of DWANGO rooms that I liked, put pieces of my mind among the rooms and added extraordinary non-linear progression. I like how it turned out better than I myself expected. You can finish it in 10 or so minutes if you just go to the exit, but it takes even more time to explore the rest of the map.

Memfis Posted September 27, 2016 Cool map and cool music choice joe. Love the 90's deathmatch aesthetic. Monster density is maybe a bit high for my taste but overall I enjoyed trying to survive and it was somewhat challenging too. Here is a demo I recorded.
