Thanks for the demo! The idea with the generators is for them to power up the mechanisms nearby (the tram and platforms). I'll need to do more audio and visual work there to sell that idea though. 

Thanks! With your tutorials in mind, maping is real fun! In one or two weeks I should have a first playable version uploaded. I'm curious about your opinion.

That looks unreal. I love arctic themed stuff and that's better than anything that I could've imagined. 

Is that a goddamn aurora borealis? 

 

I made a playthrough of the new version of Simplex \o/

Man, what a great adventure! It's like a totally new and different map! o_O

In this run i couldn't grab the nailgun in the beginning of the map, couldn't take the red armor and neither the supernailgun (i didn't noticed that one side of the cage was open, i must be blind) and i was so frustrated XD (i played the map three times now, so i could find all the secrets and take all the weapons)

One secret that i didn't understand was that door that opens behind the ogre (at 05:00). In my third run i nocliped to see where it leads, and found out that i had to shoot a wall in the corridor to go up there, but how can a player know that? there's no visual hint for me to shoot the wall :/

Anyway, back to the map... the design, the textures, the details, the monster's placement, the gameplay! I love it all!! XD

Congratulations! What a good job you did here =D 

@Tribal, thanks for giving it another playthrough! Definitely still some rough edges, especially around secrets and some visual bugs. Maybe by next weekend I'll have it in a spot where I'm ready to call it done :)

@KenChennar, dang that looks cool! I also hope that audio is an in game music track, because it gives the map a totally surreal feeling 

Orl, you are insane :) that looks awesome! 

8-0 

I love the look of it and the small platform puzzles. I really liked how the scrags filled that room in the beginning where the nailgun is. I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff. Here's a demo:

Holy crap that looks awesome!! Quite the reveal. Liked the roots in the cave too. 

Hi everybody. I've added some new screenshots of work in progress. Thanks for all your feedback. Have changed the textures where they were wrong and some map logics that had been asked for.

Sorry! Was pushing the enter key to fast. Here are the Links. Also added a demo_music for this map.

Yeah. And still forgot to descibe the last screenshot. There are now three ways to finish. As I told before, it is your choice how to get down. You have to pass each zone, but the order of clean out is yours. 

As I told before, it is your choice how to get down

What happens if the player just steps off a platform and falls to the ground? 

Poorchop, Spud, Mclogenog, distrans, Qmaster. Thank you for the kind words and expressions of shock. With just some detailing and smoothing out the rough edges left, the map construction itself is pretty much done. Problem now is how to make it fun.

I've come to accept that I can't do Quake gameplay very good as it always ends up being too difficult or disjointed and unfair. And a map with this much space, well it just wouldn't work out at all. Not really sure what to do at this point. 

If you fall down, you are in one of three zones wich have to been passed anyway. The only thing that changes is that maybe you wake some monsters to early. :) 

Still looks really busy and unclear. I really can't tell what the flow is supposed to be when looking at the screenshots. The one with annotations isn't any more helpful in this regard sadly.

Crate mazes are not fun. Definitely reconsider!

A lot of the structural stuff looks really fiddly to get around, lots of stuff sticking out to snag the player etc. 

Doom 1: e2m2: Containment Area 

Doom has some pieces of far worse level design than people like to remember, i.e. E2M2. Also, this isn't Doom so we have a third dimension to fuck around in. 

Thanks for the input. Pleas remember this is my first map. I'm working on it to get it as professional as I can. Some of my solutions now will not be the smartest in the world but they work at this stage of my leveldesign-learning.

Hopefully my first beta will give a better look!

About crate mazes. :) Every Doom, Quake, Jedi Knight, Tomb Raider,... I think every game since Commander Keen has crate mazes. There were so many that I dream of them since when I was a boy. So hopefully some day, somebody will write a "I've no idea how to fill this space in short time so bubbles would be a nice idea."- routine and free our minds from them. But till this day someone will run through crate mazes. :D 

I wanna throw in my WOW to you as well. I'm a huge admirer of your previous work, even if I was more forgiving of aspects of oms3's gameplay than some others. I'm sure I will have fun with it when you're finished, however it turns out. 

Crate maze? Bring it on! That sort of thing has a nice charm evn if it is a well used trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ContainerMaze 

How goes the 5 map episode?
