    1. Any OG Doom players who would like to test maps?

      I'm wondering if there's anybody here who plays the original Doom/Doom II that might be interested to try some of the maps I've been working on. I primarily make maps for the first because I prefer the episodic format and theme progression. Having someone else to try your maps can help to identify issues that you may have overlooked during testing or refine clunky design. I've been trying a new approach where instead of working room by room, I sketch out a rough outline of the entire map flow in the editor and gradually fill in the details as I see opportunities to do something interesting with what I've got laid down.

      I make maps in Doom Builder using GZDoom, so you'd need some form of Boom-compatible source port since I used a few generic linedefs for more complex map features (most common non-ZDoom ports I can think of like Zandorum have this). Generally I stick to old-school map styles without scripting and excessively-detailed architecture; think '94 WADs but better detail. Primarily I make singleplayer maps that are open to being modified to work in co-op.

      Trying to get the mapping mojo back, so any help is appreciated!

      EDIT: Here's the link for the map. It's E3M1 of Ultimate Doom.

      I tried the closed beta and it's a pretty fun game imo. I'm new to MH style games and based those who have played MH it's kind of mixed. It's obviously lacking a good amount compared to MH but they seem to acknowledge this and plan more stuff.

      Just figured I would let anyone kind of in lull for games might be willing to give it a shot.
