Not everyone plays Doom to get good at it. Also, learning a map IS getting better. Speedrunning is built around that concept.

of course, we could simply replace boom with vanilla. Q: Why make midtexture slopes when GZDoom exists? A: because midtexture slopes are badass.

Right, this thread is getting super off topic and should probably be split, but I don't think there's anything wrong with using advanced formats, that's not what I was commenting on originally. No one here is saying its "pointless or misplaced" the crux of the discussion was about Dragonfly being asked why he doesn't just use GZDoom if he's going to make fake Boom slopes.

I don't think you understand the context of my post. The person I was responding to was basically asking "why limit yourself?" My response to which is "why even map for Doom then?" The simple truth is that many mappers know they are limiting themselves when they choose to target Boom compatibility or Vanilla compatibility whether its because they like the limits or want to target the widest range of players and source ports possible. I am not opposed to more complex features at all, but I do think its ridiculous to question why someone would choose a more limited format when they are choosing to map for Doom, a 30 year old game, in the first place.

Just finished up a playthrough, fun stuff. E1 is fun, and almost "cute" (I don't mean this in a condescending way, the scale and chunky architecture just make it feel like that). E2 and E3 kick it up a notch and feature some of the best E2 and E3 inspired content I've played in years. Thank you for posting!

Such as the limitations provided by DSDA Doom?

Why even map for Doom then? Just make a new game in Unreal Engine :)

All the maps are designed for pistol start and not necessarily expecting you to be there with any particular weapons/amount of health, so in a way, it is intended in that all maps are balanced for pistol start. Play however you want.

Great lil map! Wish there were damaging floors or teleporters to get back up in the last area, other than that, no complaints. Big fan of the monochromatic visuals and semi realistic architecture that feels warped due to doom's scale. Thank you for posting this.

Oh I thought they meant first episode of Eviternity 2 haha

leaves and rain should show up perfectly fine in DSDA, are you sure you're up to date?

Fun wad. Good job, guys. Ruins episode is my fave.

Great idea! Gonna check these out soon.

Very happy to have won a silver with Squonker on Tetanus. I am extremely proud of the work everyone did on it, and I hope we can release more than one thing next year.
