    MAPLIST

Title: Party Rockers
Slot: MAP01
Author: United VirusX
Build time: 2 hours to make and 10 mins to playtest
Coop/DM spawns: yes(coop-only)
Theme: Marble
New music: Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO - Midi tune up by Doomkid

Title: Karnal Outburst
Slot: MAP02
Author: Shovelwarer99/Taufan99
Build time: About 1 hour and 45 minutes, not including other tidbits
Coop/DM spawns: Yes (coop-only)
Theme: Flesh (duh)
New music: Blood Alpha's BLOOD7.mid (for the level) and BLOOD9.mid (for the intermission) by Guy Whitmore, Daniel Bernstein, and James Ackley [total track size 62.7 kb]
Sidedefs: 82
Built with: Doom Builder X (I suck at making maps with this, let alone earlier, more primitive mapping programs)

Comments: Phew, here we go. My second map for the FS series, this one is just as straightforward as FS3's Mandy Lemonade Eleanor, although with some more challenge (not just due to the 100 sidedefs limitation, but also because I decided to become a bit more adventurous with enemy placements and such). I made this sometime after my bachelor graduation ceremony back in the 22nd this month, so I couldn't have thought of a better way of mapping since I've been pooped. Enjoy either way!

Built with: Doom Builder X

Comments: I finished this map sometime this Sunday, 2:30 a.m. (Western Indonesian). All despite not having slept at all this Saturday since I woke up at around 5:30-6 a.m. This one took me even more effort and eccentricity to make. Hopefully it's just challenging and interesting enough for gameplay without being all too punishing (if not for testing your skills in punching a few mid-tier enemies with a berserk pack), shovelware-quality mapping skills notwithstanding.

Protip: to exit the level, shoot the switch where the monsters originally resided in (pay attention to the impassable sound tunnel). A door will open nearby. Go through there to finish the level.
