I'm glad you enjoyed the map despite some of its shortcomings. This is actually my favorite Doom map to date. It has such a unique style. I've played it over a hundred times, but I feel not many people know about. The texturing and style of the map is different than most, and it never seemed to catch on for modern tech-base vibes. Didy uses the CC4 textures in ways that make it feel like a 90s science fiction TV, like Babylon 5 or Deep Space 9. That being said, I have never noticed those soft locks. I never thought to try and jump where you jumped and go through that space in the fence. But I can see how that is bad for the map. As for progression, I do agree that the diamond light is a bad choice. I remember it taking me a long time to figure out how to get past that section. And the gameplay is a bit lackluster, but I do feel the difficulty ramps up in a decent way. It certainly is not a slaughter map like you are known for. This map is more about the visuals. This map could also stand to have an SSG. As for the source port: the readme file states "Zdoom based ports or Risen3D." Being that this is a map from 2012, I didn't want to put that as the source port requirement so I just put GZDoom. The readme does say that it will run with Boom ports (specifically PrBoom+), but the new monsters will not act correctly. And I wanted that to be a shock for you, which it seemed to be. As for the name of the wad, I have no idea why it is named that. Didy provides no clarification for the name in the readme file as well. I submitted this map on a complete whim one night after a party where I had a lot to drink. The next morning I remember submitting my favorite map to your viewer submissions and immediately I wanted to take it back. I should have submitted one of my own map (unreleased), but instead I submitted a map that my own maps draw a ton of inspiration from. I attempted to submit this map in all of your view submissions so far, but I always told myself I shouldn't and just make my own. But that night the alcohol won that internal debate for me. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the map. I think I've gone on for too long now. Have a nice day!

its missing the huts built for the slave workers

1:08 Hit the use key. If you hear "Ahhh much better" that means it's a toilet.

Dutch: If it bleeds, we can kill it. Decino: If it screams in pain, we can kill it.

Crazy cause Dubai is hell on earth lol

The cut-away with a death sound was the most unsettling thing I've seen on this channel.

It says "So geil!" which is german for awesome. It is as bizarre as the SS guy in Wolf 3D shouting "Mein Leben!"

5:14 the kill shot was so strong, it sent the Zombieman upwards

Wasn't expecting sound playback. That was a jumpscare for me

Dubai (i.e. United Arab Emirates) - the epitome of building outlandish but TOTALLY WORTHLESS INFRASTRUCTURES just because you have trillions of dollars from selling oil and you just don't know where will you spend that money. Ex: the unused artificial palm tree-shaped islands, the top 40 floors of the Burj Khalifa being not livable and the building's toilets aren't even connected to the city sewage; that weird giant "Moon globe" that serves no purpose, Dubai never bothering to create a good drainage system which caused the recent floodings there despite having trillions for it. Kinda like the details in this techbase. xD lol

This must be whats under the desert.

It must be 2pm EST because Decino has a new video. You can set your watch by it and it makes my day.

Eric Andre: My Dad owns all the petroleum in Dubai.

I feel like this is one QA pass away from being an absolutely flawless map.

Holy crap, that child's voice was creepy! That was a really gorgeous map. As gorgeous as a tech base can get at least. And the moody music really set a good mood. I also liked the battles. Nothing too unforgiving, with some good progression and variety. The teleporting monsters at the end were particularly fun. I didn't care for that button you had to walk on to lower the lift. But maybe if this was a map set instead of a single map it could establish that mechanic and make it familiar. Honestly, since this is a single map, those new enemies are even more surprising! Interesting design, and now I want more maps for multiple reasons. 😁 Also, happy that you accidentally turned on the item count. Haha

This is one of the best looking tech bases I've seen! :O

Accurate depiction of the shopping mall experience

You almost always post when I eat. It’s perfect

One could say decino was TOO good at finding secrets in this one

This game really never gets old. It's gonna forever be a fun game whatsoever.

"It looked bigger on the automap" That's what she said 😅

You know, when you found the computer area map I had a thought: Wouldn't it be funny if the area map was the only secret in the map.

You know what? This wad is really awesome. To bad it has issues like softlock and weird placements but it's not enough for me to dislike this map. Still, Dubai is really cool here. Thank you very much Ahmrikhan! 😃

Gentleman... welcome to Dubai.

Pretty banger map; a little confusing in the mid game and a few out of bounds bugs; all of which could easily be fixed. Nice job!

This music could come from Heretic. Beautiful!

The custom enemies at the end reminded me of the shooting plants in Unreal (the very first one) and also "forbidden fruit" in Going Down.

IDCLIP have saved me from many an embarrasing resets over all the years! :D

Love your content been watching you for years much love From Connecticut!!!!

ive got my ice cream and im going through the past few viewer submissions i missed. love your one-off playthroughs -liz

The custom enemy's kids voice was saying "so geil". It's german for "awesome". Means also something naughty if you take it literally.

That was an interesting techbase. Then you opened the last door and what the heck. Are those eyestalks modified Keens? I guess so for them to hang on the ceiling like that, and for that audio to play when you kill them all. Don't like the lack of weapons, though. Deploying Mancs and Barons without the SSG or at least a reasonable stash of rockets really pumps the brakes on the pacing. Not sure GZed (I love that pronunciation, unironically) was needed, but I bet the lack of blockmap bug was appreciated with you being limited to hitscan for practically the entire map.

My favorite type of map! It feels like you are exploring and the music is great

Wait, Decino had something nice to say about a tech base? I'm le shook! 😂

How can that possibly a mini toilet , but it's not a mini chair.

Wohoo! So many Halloweens lately, I'm getting fat from all that candy!

Man this Bauhaus map looks cool!!!

The map title kinda makes me want a Going Down style level set in the Burj Khalifa. This is pretty cool though.

What a gorgeous map! I absolutely love the way it looks and all the detailing! Super cool.

Awesome-looking map. I enjoy maps like this, that gives the player a lot to look at and mysterious places to explore.

12:22 nice health! I like how the music sounds like “Deepest Reaches” from *Evilution.* Love the 3D platforms and the ceiling fan. It would have been nice to have more light sources.

Man Didy style its so unique and cool, didnt even took me a minute to recognize the usual tropes. Cool boom trickery and effects, fancy and moody techbase, complex progression. I do wonder if Didy has ever gotten to hl1/hl2 modding at some point, considering these "scripted events" that tend to appear on their maps.

I really like the combat flow of the map where it starts slow, but then slowly starts populating the map with a variety of targets. None of which are enough to threaten the player on their own, but can easily overwhelm you if you don't stay on top of your game.

The hanging fleshy shooting eye was creepy, but I was totally unprepared for that child whisper. Good stuff.

Bro u just made my day with This Video 🎉❤

That place has changed a fair bit since I last visited lol.

wow uploaded in 47s ago

The Rare Custom Enemy Spotted! 😊

Oh, that's very interesting map! I should definitely check this level in DoomBuilder, so much trickery

7:00 naughty pumpkin 🎃

i'm from the UAE and this caught my attention, all the comments on this video are true lol, the unique soundtrack rocks.

Awesome looking map! reminds me of BTSX and TNT Revilution.

Really unique looking level! Substantial but it doesn't feel the need to be some epic legendary super map. Nice to see something mysterious and exploration based.

He's back...the man behind the pumpkin mask...

a really pretty & bizzar map - cool Video

All these people pooping on dubai....easy guys. There are only have so many poop trucks after all. But hey no sewer levels at least right?

I doubt this map has anything with Dubai.

6:36 someone wasn’t paying attention. Lol. It’s still an Excellent map.

Top tier midi on this one

I was just thinking to myself when you mentioned maps having a lot of secrets so the automap is useful "imagine if the automap is the only secret"

That white-ish area right at the end near the exit appears to have a building skyline that made me think it was Dubai in the clouds. (at 21:00).

Great MIDI.

map Dubai without clouds ???? what a hell

Not the most oportune time lol

Very interesting, some advanced tricks on display so the mapper is clearly not a novice. A pity about the soft locks and the weird progression but good map all in all.

So this is what it’s like

fantastic midi

I'm in dubai, and I can confirm it's accurate to the real life map.

If OG Doom was released today this is the kind of level I'd assume to be in there. Somewhat sparse in terms of combat, but lots of exploring and insanely good looking. I'd give this a solid B+.

This map is super fucking atmospheric I really dig the visuals... looks like the place is abandoned and I love it

If there are no poop trucks I'm going to be disappointed

Doom guy takes a vacation to Dubai But hell doesn’t want him to have a vacation So hells force come to ruin his nice day off to a slaughterhouse

DooDoobyebye ahahhahahahhhqkamamkskrndnjahahajahaahahah

I absolutely love how the music perfectly synced with you solving the small door problem. Also, the child sound on playback actually creeped me out, what did you think of it? I expected you'd say something about it in the outro.

5:09 and this is, kids, why you should be very careful when entering intersection by car. Look, if you hadn't stopped you would catch that fireball! 6:32 Quite funny you softlocked yourself here, because watching your channel for 6 years and seeing so many maps, this gotta be a secret, come on! :D

Good map!

Crazy how they made a country in honor of this doom wad!

This map left me shit scared. Truely original doom vibes lol

missing the water

6:36 *Parokour!*

A metropolitan city Full of ancient space monsters and explosions. Yep. 'ats Dubai.

Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.

Nice

This map looks great. It has a really nice art style. Im not so sure about gameplay though. Soft locks, odd shortcuts and even progression that do not feel like they fit into a tech base and are just there. Some fights were neat though. Since you end up playing some of the submissions on GZDoom, would it make a good opportunity for you to try the voxel doom, now that it also has Doom 2 monsters? How do you like it anyway?

Wait you mean to say a toilet and a chair ISNT the same thing ??!?

Lotta BooM in this DooM.

MaY i ask, is Dubai a good vacation location? (Love you videos by-the-way

My version of Doom never had all those options to choose from

Brilliant map. The Doom3-style screens that go satanic (boooo) would have deserved at least an aknowledgement in passing

Not one but two softlocks? Nice. Btw here is a message for all the mappers, please put an ssg or at least berserk in the begining of the map so it doesn't feel like a tedious waste of time, thanks!

That map title!? 🥴 Is it because of the tech theme? (Dubai's a techy place I think.) Also, those pillars at the the exit may resemble the Berj al Khalifa? And the midi's middle section sounds vaguely Middle Eastern. 22:25

I feel like this map is missing a lot of water in it

did you try shooting that pink-red circle-dot?

Mini toilet 😂😂😂 and the kid said "... so geil..." or "... Dubai..."

20:18 20:32 That creeped me out! 😱

Everyone, let’s help Decino get 200K subs

I want to see a map where you have to get to the exit in time or else the ceiling comes down to crush you 😮

The music was very fitting and the map was ok aside from the soft-locks 😆. But why wouldn’t you give decino, or really any player in general, a super shotgun to kill the monsters with? I mean it looks like they took some time and thought in developing the atmosphere and layout but they forgot that the player wants to blast the zombies with the SSG 😂.

Dubai looks cute.

I wonder why they called this map Dubai? I haven't watched the whole video but I'm not seeing any textures that would suggest some attachment to the place name?
