[GZDoom][OTEX] First Contact 1.5 - a varied mapset

[Deon]

I am continuing my work on a city map.

I am using Mars3d textures which look like tweaked Duke3d textures for the city:


I came here for an important opinion of people who has already played this map set: would you be OK with me including BUILD-engine style textures to better show the city style the way I intend it to look, or would you rather see me using more DOOM-like textures?

[Gez]

Use whatever texture you want to use, IMO.

[Deon]

Hmm, you are probably right. Considering this is my learning experience and a foray into mapping, it will probably help to learn which texture packs exist and how they can be used.

I do want to make a pure DOOM-map set, but that will probably come after my experimentation with this pack .

Nice job with this i love them space levels keep up the good work man can't wait to see more.

I had an absolute blast playing through this. I really hope you keep working on it. I'm excited to see what it becomes.

I really enjoyed the level design (feels more realistic like Duke 3D) and nice use of OTEX. Spent about 40 mins playing the levels.

More darkness/shadows might help a few areas look unique.

Near the start you might wanna add a section which encourages the player to jump and crouch teaching them to keep an eye out for such opportunists. EDIT: There is the secret right near the beginning which might not be very obvious to most player's as it requires a crouch.

The levels felt just the right size, not overstaying their welcome, not too many enemies. Challenge wasn't very high until the final boss fight. Keep it up Deon.



A few extra notes: At around 11:41 I go looking for the last enemy, a Lost Soul who seems to be placed just outside the explorable map area, that's why I shot out the window to get it's attention. And the section with crushers can be avoided by crouching.
