These mapsets keep being excellent. Having a specific custom texture set with a limited color range helps a lot giving cohesion to what should be a bunch of unconnected maps, in a way "let's use CC4-tex/GOTHICTX" just doesn't do. Great stuff.
Edit: damn, MAP07 was especially good. Strong Tango vibes there.

This one felt a bit tougher overall than Circle of Caina. The consistency of theme across these projects is nice, as Phml said. It makes for a pretty solid episodic experience, although in terms of game play a lot of the mappers seem to resort to Revenants as soon as any challenge is warranted. Standouts are MAP02 for it's big verticality, MAP05 for the big open space, even though I just ran for it at the end as I was bored of chopping through hordes and MAP07 for feeling like a big adventure, even though it did wear me out with the heavy Revenant presence.Wasn't as keen on valkiriforce's map this time around, as it felt pretty HR-inspired. Glen's map got mean rather quickly for a MAP01, which probably set the tone, or at least my perspective of it, pretty early in terms of rough game play.

My map used to be meaner and with a little less monsters too, but 40 softened it a bit and also made it look nicer. Pretty happy with how it turned out considering I pushed it out in less than double digit hours which is unheard of for me. For me this mapset felt less tougher than Circle of Caina, good to see another perspective Phobus. Hope you can get something done for the next one!

Jesus Christ, there's a lot of doom releases out this month that I didn't play yet, but want to get around to; quite the backlog. I'll make sure to play this eventually.
Now that it's released, I'll make sure to find as many inescapable pits as possible. I'll dock a star off for each one found.
Toodles.

I have to say that I am impressed with the quantity and visual quality of 40oz output in these projects. 3-4 maps a month, plus project management, critiques and polishing of submissions is quite a lot of work.

MAP01: it's allright, the arch-viles were a good surprises MAP02: it's allright MAP03: this one was cute, nice Plutonia-esque light gameplay, you can finish it without the key
MAP04: also this was cute, I like the towers and the little trip on the battlements MAP05: it's kinda rough but it has some interesting ideas MAP06: I liked this one. I must say that your maps start to feel similar after playing so many of them in these wads, maybe you should slow down a bit. MAP07: the outdoors were nice, but I wasn't really feeling the gameplay MAP08: this one was pretty cool, made some mistakes and paid for them. Perhaps is the hardest map of yours that I played
This was my favourite of these projects so far, the theme was better of what I was expecting.

Killer5 streamed Forest Swords last night. Looked like he liked a good bit of it, but he concluded it wasn't as strong as the previous episodes. He did mention in his stream that he hadn't eaten today though, so he may have just been hangry. In future mapping, please be open-minded about criticism. You're reviews aren't there to hurt you, they're to make your maps a more pleasing experience to play. The goal is for people to have fun. To be fair, this is advice I should be taking for myself too.

I’ll be more open minded if killer5 eats something. How can you review shit fairly on an empty stomach? Seriously though thanks killer5!
Anyone doing the idgames upload?
