Back in July I joined a community project 'Literalism', where each mapper is given a title to work with. I was given the title 'Breaking Walls', so I made a map with breakable walls. Over 200 of them. So that's... a lot. It's set at a construction site and includes an abandoned house, a motel building built, 14 secrets and lot's of opportunities to flank enemies and avoid traps.
Here's a tour. Let me know what you think!
The map is Boom compatible.

Awesome work, man! Well executed concept, very intuitive, and phenomenal use of stock textures to represent a construction site that actually looks like a construction site. I'm impressed.

looks fun! i was toying with the idea of implementing something like very dumbed down Red Faction-like geomod recently. no floor/ceiling modifictions, but it seems that blowing holes in walls could be possible. and your map reminded me of that. would be a perfect fit. ;-)
p.s.: must be a very exhausting work to mark all those walls with proper tags, flags and linedefs…

Thanks man! I used some OTEX textures early on but then decided to go 100% stock instead. Even the sky is a stock Doom 2 texture which just fits the map perfectly. The stock textures to help the players navigate what they can or can't shoot. looks fun! i was toying with the idea of implementing something like very dumbed down Red Faction-like geomod recently. no floor/ceiling modifictions, but it seems that blowing holes in walls could be possible. and your map reminded me of that. would be a perfect fit. ;-) p.s.: must be a very exhausting work to mark all those walls with proper tags, flags and linedefs… Yeah, I spend a ton of time tagging and retagging linedefs and sectors. I had a cheatsheet post-it with the required Boom actions, and I used a lot of copy-paste to add decoration and more shootable walls, especially in the motel area. What was also exhausting, was making the map jump-proof. Some playtesters just skipped parts that broke some traps, secrets, or soft-locked themselves. There's probably still some places you could do that, but that's also the charm of having such an open map. |

The map looks great, and the final touch of the demolition switch is such an expected cliché that it just works.  |

You're trying to say you like DOS better than me, right?

Breakable walls are one of my favorite Doom gimmicks so this looks really cool, might have to check out the project.
