Death day (a zdoom mega wad)

[goblin_squirrel]

So, I'm going to make a mega wad, and I'm not sure about my mapping or modding skills, but I know I'll get better as I go along. It starts out with doom guy in the bunkers, and then demons invade as usual, and doom guy wakes up and has to stop there evil plans!

Screenshots of my progress so far:

Judging by the screenshots, you need more texture variation, better usage of the space in each room, and in that first picture there's a crapload of shotgun shells, you need to distribute ammo troughout the whole level, not like a bundle of shells at the start then that's it.
also, these sprites are way overused.

I stopped there.

Well, I suppose you definitely know which textures you like...

If that pistol were angled any more to the left, the Doomguy would be shooting himself in the left hand.

That's probably why it got dumped from FreeDoom in favor of its new, slightly more Doom-like counterpart. =P

(I did have an idea that I might be able to "de-angle" that thing a little, but then I remembered I don't have nearly the graphical talent to pull it off.)

I think squishing it horizontally a little bit could fix the angle without doing any visible damage to the sprite.

This reminds me of my very early mapping experiments. Do you really need that many shellboxes at the start?

Don't. You'll end up nowhere. Making a 32-map wad is a huge project and requires a whole team of experienced mappers to put together. Start out with something small first, like a single map or a couple of maps. Devote to it/them and then move on to bigger challenges.

Does a 5 map project sound like a good idea then??

[Nightfall]

Five maps is more rational for a beginner, yes.

[esselfortium]

How about one
