Today's Speedmapping!

Monday · 5 Mar 07 · 02:33 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Doom

Well, as I mentioned in the previous post, I took part in the Speedmapping event organised by Sarge Baldy.  The theme for this session was "Create a map inspired by one of your favorite maps. You don't need to recreate the map; just try to give yours a similar theme and feel."

Today's Speedmap!

I picked Doom E3M5: Unholy Cathedral as my inspiration, and made a tiny map in 100 minutes.  Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, and though it's very small and easy (I think it'll only take around 30-40 seconds to play), it is pretty nice looking.  The green stone pillar, the flooring, the dark outdoors with the hellish symbols are the elements from the original that made it into this map.  I mailed Sarge Baldy the map sometime ago, and now I'm off to sleep!

I had a good time at this event and it was refreshing to make a Doom map after a long time...  I'm looking forward to seeing the compilation pack with all the maps from this session.  This should be a diverse set of levels, since each participant picked a different map for inspiration!

EDIT (06:29): The compilation is out!  Go to Sarge Baldy's Speedmapping page and download the file sbspd019.zip, my map is MAP01 in the pack.  MAP02 through MAP05 are by Torn, Zap610, DomRem and dr zin respectively.

Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01.  It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
