Hey DW, thanks for the comment. Yeah this was the first fight that really kicked my ass. The problem is, what enemy would you replace the afrits with that the player couldn't one shot with the BFG when the closets opened and which would also be able to harass the player at the bottom of the spiral from way up above?

@UVFastUVFurious Good question, not easy to answer. I'd probably use either cacos or pain elementals. Yes I know you can oneshot them, but the point would be that you have to choose whether or not to spend 1-2 shots on them or save them for the archies. On top of that, if elementals are used, the lost souls spawned can still be annoying and potentially block you with fatal consequences. My point would be that overall it would defo be easier than with afrits but it's by no means clear cut, it's maybe the right amount of challenge and a slightly different dynamic.

Thanks for stopping by. This one has been very fun so far.

I will for the next video

no worries, hope you get something useful out of the videos

I did for sure, I ended up going through the entire wad and adjusting the ammo. The maps contain more ammo now and are better balanced. Your videos gave me a good visual on this.

No it isn't, it's my nome.

ya. shhhh don't tell nobody.

Its a bit of an enigma

ahh, that makes sense.

I was going to respond in the next video, but it came out pretty incoherent like an answer to a presidential debate lmao. I guess it depends on if the 100 lines restriction includes monster closets, which could be a pain in the ass. As to the why make it question, restriction projects are a pretty common theme (zone 300, 1k lines, congestion 1024, etc) and its probably a useful way to help keep your maps short and get them finished without getting too bogged down in detailing. I think its a fair point about not judging too harshly, especially if you are also putting out creative work. Always nice to have a little good will built up with the player base.

I let anonymous users on 4chan playtest the maps for me, and they weren't harsh about the maps at all. I was told by a few users that they liked it after playing the whole thing, and even found the story funny. So I have a reason to believe I made something of high quality. About the gameplay seeming bad in this video; I can't account for people being autistic against the chainsaw (I'm sorry BIZ, but it's true), and not bothering to pick the difficulty that gives them more supplies. I think you're just upset because I talked shit about your DBP map, in that case I'm sorry.

@@UVFastUVFurious Oh yeah, i agree, restriction project are awesome for the most part, but typically, they are community projects, where 10, 20 or 30+ mappers get together and each contribute one map to some restrictive challenge. It is then very fun to play and see everyone's unique take on said challenge. You also have to agree that some restriction projects are better than others in concept and execution. Take 10 Lines Massacre for example. In my opinion, it's way too restrictive, and it shows. As a result, it gets repetitive very fast, despite it having a huge roster of different mappers. 100 lines can be a good creative challenge, if once again you get a collection of different mappers who will all have a unique take on it. Now you take one mapper like Joe, and have him make a megawad of 100 lines maps... well, if i get a bad impression right from the get-go, as i did with the first 7-8 maps, there's no way i'll keep playing his set... in fact, i'll be out by map 03. Given that he's an "expert" in map and combat design, maybe he should've realized early on that his project is going nowhere and stop at 3-5 maps instead of 20.

@@joeilya Nah, Joe, you're mistaken. I'm not a part of the DBP team, never have been.

@joeilya no need to apologize to me joe, i can take the heat. I cut my teeth with fast monsters where the chainsaw is useless. Its dead to me.

Hell yeah, "like a noob in 1994"! Thanks for the compliment. By the way, the maps are limited to 100 linedefs each, it's gonna look like a 1994 offering no matter how you slice it.

@@joeilya If it's going to look like a 1994 offering no matter what, then why even bother to make not one, not two, but 20 of these awful gimmicky maps? I doubt someone had a gun to your head and told you to map only with 100 line and in triangles, right? The concept is awful! And to post this turd, just after acting like a big deal and bashing RastaManGames' map from Lunar Strain... you have to be quite delusional to do that. And by the way, limiting yourself to 100 lines is not an excuse of how terrible your combat design is.

That fight with 5 arch-viles and pinkies took me a few tries to beat. It's pretty easy to run out of ammo in that fight.

thanks for watching

Yeah, its definitely a bit frustrating but it is also what makes this map memorable.

Also lots of run-on brick texture, forgot to mention it in my comment and then heard you mention this in the vidya.

@@theoldschooldude5059 Its a neat idea for a map, just wish the execution was a bit better (especially the upper deck area). Also have to keep in mind that the mapper made 3 maps in one month, so it makes sense that they are a little sparser in the detailing department. I tried to do that once and completely failed and other mappers had to help me finish the maps, so I have big respect for getting it done.

yeah, its a fun gimmick the first time, but afterwards they really slow the map down.

was not expecting that at all. must have been the SSG blast I fired off.

yep. paint lighting onto walls instead of floors, use large gradient steps instead of small ones, use tiny triangle sectors to put shadows into corners.

​@@UVFastUVFurious he's also really good at detailing. His DBP59 maps are freaking gorgeous.

heh, i just read the name like it is spelled. glad you posted that review, i haven't been motivated to record videos for a while.

@@UVFastUVFurious yeah, I was expecting people will be pronouncing it like that 😭😭😭 Thanks for the videos lol, it's always good to see more DBP playthroughs, especially with commentary!
