Obligatory - 32 Map Community Project

[Quantum_Dranger]

Ever generated a map with Oblige that, with some human modification, could become a fine-tuned well-paced quality map? This community project sets out to create a 32 map boom-compatible megawad out of procedural-manual synergy. To join, generate a map, figure out the direction you'll take the map and reserve a slot or express interest. All mappers, from beginner to expert are encouraged to join.

Rules
[*]Must use doom 2 as an IWAD
[*]Be boom-compatible (MAPINFO for minor zdoom features is allowed as boom does not parse it)
[*]Completable
[*]Have varying difficulty based on skill level.
[*]Factor in OBLIGE's graphic changes i.e. CEMENT, GORA0, LIFTFLAT, RWDMON, etc. (can be found below)
[*]Custom music and titles are allowed
[*]Maps 1-6 are underground themed, 7-11 are placed in the starport, maps 11-20 are city levels and 21-30 are hell levels.
[*]Map 7, 11, 20 and 30 should be based off simple, gallows, gotcha and icon.wad (can be found below)
[*]Map 15 and Map 31 should include secret exits.
[*]Limit nazis and commander keen to the secret levels.

Goal

32 Quality maps abiding by the above rules by September 1st 2017.

Woah, woah, woah! You're jumping onto the 32 map community project bandwagon quite quickly, tone it down to 5 maps or keep it private at least.
First of all, the idea is pretty stupid, since Oblige already makes pleasing maps, in gameplay and architecture (although it's repetitive) and all I can see in your map is some slight thing adjustment and detail being thrown in and nothing much.
Secondly, your idea isn't very original, there was a tiny community project of 6 maps called "All SLIGE'd Up" and it worked with a much more primitive map generator which made the mappers get more creative since the original generated SLIGE maps are rather jagged, awkward, ugly and bland but still had some interesting layouts.

I would've been interested to participate if you were less ambitious with this idea.

This. Although;

...since Oblige already makes pleasing maps...

Not entirely true, at least in my experience. OBLIGE maps can use a lot of fine tuning after being made.

While i do see your point, i don't see the point of discouraging someone from reaching for the stars. After all, falling short of it still means making good headway. I do see this as a fun project if you ask me, although I don't recommend having Oblige place the monsters for you, by the time you're done tweaking the monster placement, you'd have pretty much replaced all the monsters placed by Oblige.

There was also the Freakmapping contests (also using SLIGE), which were even more creative due to the use of ZDoom features. (and the fact that they all had to use the same generated map to start with)
