UAC Missions: A recreation of KDITD (work in progress)

pretty bad privacy on this bathroom

Hey Goatlord, I played your map! Here is an FDA in ZDoom 2.8.1 that you can download here (You'll need that exact ZDoom version for playback, it's the final version.) Note that I played map 01 only....

I thought it was very well done architecturally. Perhaps there was a bit of unnecessary detail and Doom cute sector furniture that gets in the way and hinders movement, but nothing too egregious. Your music track was pretty cool. Your combat however is very plain and totally unthreatening. A lot of the switches felt redundant and confusing with no clear way of knowing what they actually do at times, but it didn't really get in the way of progression. Overall it's a good presentation, keep at it bro but look at ways to make your combat a little more interesting and less bland.

Well there's the usual claptrap about enemies being presented directly in front of you, like it's a shooting gallery instead of a dynamically threatening environment. Lack of battles that take place on varying planes of height for the most part, you just open a door and there's the enemy in front of you easily able to be dispatched. Lack of enemies hidden in plain sight in devious angles that get you while you're focused on another enemy in front of you. Lack of battles where enemies are in the four cardinal directions at once, forcing you to be quick and react well. The most in danger I ever felt was simply opening a door and having a Revenant behind it simply because I only had a single shotgun or chaingun, and that happened 2 or 3 times that I can recall and it was still fairly basic to take care of the Rev.

Your architecture building, lighting and texturing is quite well progressed and your ammo and health balance was more than decent, but I feel like you need to explore various varying combat scenarios with the monsters to add that kick to your maps, and I'm pretty sure you can do it so keep on bro.

UPDATE: Just noticed your second map so note that the above feedback applies to your 1st map only. BTW you may wanna chuck them in the same wad, doesn't make a lot of sense to separate them like this.

So I gave your second map a whirl, much more aggressive than the first which was nice, but your ammo/health balance is less decent than the first map so your combat "scale" seems to have swung a massive 180 from sparse non threatening monsters with sufficient supplies to overpopulation with severe dips in supplies at more than a few points in this second map. Once again good texturing and competent visual design, I liked your outdoor area a lot and was good to see some textures that aren't prolific, gave it a unique look. Music was fab again. Not quite as detailed feedback as I gave your first map, I didn't get a proper chance to get into this second one, but I like where you're heading and it's good to see.

Played through the first map, good effort there, it felt a bit like A.L.T, with the detailed and non-linear mazey areas along with the very basic incidental gameplay, tuning-up the combat is most likely not going to be possible because of the very basic "Room-Door-Corridor-Door" layout, though flow can be majorly improved if you'll remove all the mid-tier enemies except for the revenants, I honestly don't see the point of them when imps and zombies are just as effective in this kind of map and don't slow down the player.
I tried to play though the second map, but the very first door wouldn't open.

I don't recommend trying to make a mappack as your first official wad, you should start by making simple standalone public maps so you can gather feedback to make your bigger, fatter efforts not go to waste, because tuning-up your previous maps with your rising map-making experience and standards are going to be proven a nearly impossible endeavor if you'll try to make the mappack to be more cohesive in the foreseeable future.
Better put this idea to rest, and churn out a couple of small single maps, get some external help and feedback until you can safely make maps of this ambition without regretting making them.

It doesn't matter, any source port that's truthful to the weird vanilla behaviour will have this error.
