Doom Pictures Thread 2021

I just finished making this vanilla 3D bridge, and immediately upon doing so I'm questioning whether I want to keep it in the map.  It's annoying because I think it looks super nice but I just know for a fact that it's going to constantly be getting monsters stuck on top of it, to say nothing of how it will mong up multiplayer in various ways.  I dunno I'll keep it for now and kind of sit on it a bit, I like this trick in some ways but damned if it isn't a buggy one in others.

 

Idk what do you, the audience, think?  Shall I keep it? Or replace it with a more boring but probably better 2D means of crossing?  Remember, "just switch to ZDoom format you idiot" is not a valid answer.

Maybe create a gap under the bridge so that monsters can't pass under it but players can still get across. It could be lowered slightly and full of liquid to give it some small purpose, and just add block lines for monsters on both sides. Another alternative could be just to make it inaccessible underneath with an even bigger ledge and to add teleporters on both sides. It may not be as appealing, but you would keep the bridge and multiplayer intact.

When it comes to bridges that can be crossed above and below, multiplayer will always make it sort of finicky with many players. It's not too bad, but I can understand if someone has mixed feelings about it or if they prefer not to break the immersion of their map. I do think it looks pretty cool and it'd be a shame to see it go.

@gaspe Love the cavernous open space. Gives me Plutonia vibes, I can just see the chaingun snipers in those windows.

yeah I realized that blocking monsters wouldn’t break the flow of this area too horribly. So I put some nice crackly lava rock in a pit down there, looks nice this way too! Also I thought of a kind of hacky but functional way to improve coop by having a teleport that only can be lowered from the P2 start, and which just serves to skip the bridge. It’s not an amazing solution but it’s better than nothing I guess.

As much as I loved TNT, I feel that pain.

I did a No Saves run of TNT and that level took me a lot of retries for some reason.  So did Mt Pain.  Those weren't even hard levels, just long and I kept dying from something stupid.

I've yet to actually make an attempt at playing Eternal Doom, but CREDITS.WAD has me very interested.

I noticed that the little meathook thing for the crosshair had escaped to find a life of its own:

Very nice!, and it's incredible and nice to see my map, although it is my first map, thanks xD

Since there's not only pictures of wads on this thread I thought I might post this mancubus I drew a few days back

Really cool visuals there Mary! I really enjoyed playing another map of yours (Asmuria Monastery, one of my personal highlights of the mapset actually), so i wonder have you released any other maps elsewhere? I'd love to run through them!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that there are people who enjoyed the first Oops! All Greyboxes! And yes, I have made two other maps in addition to the one you mentioned.

• MAYhem2020: "MAP19 - The Three Towers"
• The 128 kb mapping extragavanza challenge: "E1M2 - Back to Phobos again"
