Thank you very much for the playthrough. I' ve been watching your channel since the Hell Revealed II times and if it weren't for your viewer submissions I don't think I'd ever start mapping. I'm really glad you came up with tactics for final arena better than mine because I die there most of the times. It's amazing how far you get during blind run because this definitely isn't blind-run-friendly map. Map facts: The map is named after Joy Division song. Just like the song it's about loneliness, claustrofobia, paranoia, fear of external (authoritarian/demonic) control, set in somewhat surreal imaginary location. The first room of this map was made around Christmas 2019 and it's the third iteration sent to decino. Idea of using lifts during fight actually comes from OCD-Doom - MAP30: Icon of Sin - viewer's submissions round 1. Idea of Helicopter at the end is copied from Kama Sutra map 13. decino missed doomcute / a piece of storytelling -> at 43:24 there's dead Doomguy next to beacon with cell pack. When you take the cell pack, beacon turns off. Naturally, it can't work without cells. You can see it at 43:30. Final two Imps are the ones who controled windows in plasmagun room and who released you from blue key trap. Also revenants in final arena were the ones controling arachnotron covers in blue key arena. It's possible to trigger all-ghosts bug if you shoot approximately in the north direction in the chaingun room.

The knack for making vanilla doom interesting in so many different ways is a testament both to the game but also this channel as a whole

This is a really cool-looking map that shows that techbase doesn't have to mean uninteresting architecture, and the combat is interesting, too. It even managed to prove the Blursphere can be useful against non-hitscan enemies. As disappointing as it can be to not have your own map get picked, it's worth it to see a cool one that slipped under your radar like this.

In the room at 8:04, you can see that there are strips of light panels connected to the elevators that raise and lower the Revenants. That makes it far easier to tell at a glance roughly how long you have before they pop up again. That's a fantastic little touch that'll give you an advantage if you're paying attention.

51 minutes of monster hunting and map exploration, really great stuff

I like how no enemy feels fillery here, and how this absolute lad managed to pull of fights with micromanaging aspects without making them feel obnoxious! Limitations breed creativity.

Really cool map! This round of viewer submissions is off to a great start! Also, loved that you're trying these maps blind :)

You did really well on that blind run. This is a very complex and dangerous map.

11:55 A Revenant headbutting a Cacodemon to death - never gets old... :)

The Suburbs Trolling exists!. Joke, it's a taste of fresh air this stuff.

ah yes the submission levels it's good to see them back. it's nice to have a little variety after see a lot of Doom 2 playthrough on nightmare mode. I'm looking for the other maps and see what creative ideas they make

Is there any other game that after years and thousands of levels can STILL surprise and delight you? What a game.

That fight where you lower the archviles to deal with the arachnotrons really impressed me. in general this mapper seems to have a knack for using elevation in a clever way.

This run is more interesting, entertaining and intense than most movies nowadays!

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" is a vibe I'm getting from this map. I'm positive that this map will be better than the next submission. I still think the lows of round 3 and 4 will probably not be outdone by 5, but prove me wrong.

Those shootable switches blend in so well, I never would have seen them all had I played this map myself. If anything I would have shot them on accident. Would love to see Romero play this map, he would be proud.

It's cool that he used one of Romero's design rules that if you can see outside you should be able to somehow get outside.

The most profound piece of tech base art with intriguing traps, monster closets and puzzles I have seen. Even the secrets are fulfiling. That plasma closet was super cool! Definitely want to see a full WAD. A WAD 90% as difficult as Sunlust would be cool.

I really like the idea of doing blind runs first with these viewer submissions because that way we as the viewers get to see your first impressions of each level which I personally really enjoy seeing and I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys seeing that and what a way to start the next viewer submission round a tech base level done really well with clever map design and a all round good looking map and of course good combat which is always important I always look forward to seeing these as it's really cool to see what the doom community comes up with. Big fan of tech base style levels coming in second to hell levels which are my favourite as long as they are done good as in map design/combat though I guess you can say that about any level really it's good if it's done correctly lol. But anyway as I said great start to the next round of submissions if this is anything to go by on what to expect to see in this round then I'm really excited for the other submissions and what they have in store. anyway it's twenty to midnight I'm starting to feel like I might actually get some sleep so with that as always cheers for upload decino and cheers to whoever sent in this submission

I hoped for you to do next viewer submissions blind and I'm glad you did. It's much more entertaining. I will submit a map in a next round too, if that time comes.

Great map, you seemed to really enjoy that blind playthtough too, could hear the excitement in your voice. Can't wait for the rest of the viewer subs, always enjoy these playthroughs

This is a very good map to see here. I also do love the details from outside as well of what happened to the 3 marines during this run. Also love the scavenger hunt with finding the shooting point secrets around as an extra way of getting very nice rewards. Great start for this Submission everyone! Give Jariditumim applause here! 😃👏

This is a deceptively awesome map for sure. Stock textures & d_runnin, but Jariditumim obviously has a ton of talent and put a lot of thought and effort into making it. There's so much attention to detail in the textures, and the light cues you show around the 29min mark, and the whole outside area being explorable.

Excellent map! Lots of puzzles. Good fights, very good item placement.

Hey Decino, I'm still part of the way through this video, but wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you do! I decided to go check out the old video submissions video regarding this year's set of maps, and it's pretty cool to see that you have all the current and past submissions available for viewing. It sure helps me to see what interesting or cool maps are out there for playing. Also a big fan of your Projects page on your website, showing some of your programming prowess too. Be well pumpkin man. See you in the next one!

The blind runs of submitted levels are a great idea. Not only does it show your initial reactions to the fights (which might be extremely valuable to the mappers), but it also keeps the intrigue, as we won't know until the end how many maps are going to get rejected and which ones will replace them.

Finally Decino's gonna play viewer submissions!

I'd never thought my brother with analytical mind is this much creative. I witnessed the whole process from early draft to finish product and was blown away by his good eye for detail, design and the story behind. And i'm so proud that decino and his viewers enjoyed his map. I hope he will complete other maps he has up in his sleeve (but he is perfectionist so he needs a deadline for submission :D).

Nice change of pace after all those nightmare videos. You picked a really interesting map. ❤ loving this video so far.

Ok, I actually think I'm in love with this map. It's visually designed fantastically. The fights are creative and interesting. And it kinda lights a fire in me to make my own tricky dicky encounters after seeing these play out in such a fun way! This map, in every way, shows how much you can do with just a little and its amazing.

this map is rad as hell! Running from evil is one of my favorite tracks from the original games so i didn't mind it not being changed lol.

An hour to unwind while watching you figure out ways to take down demons is time well-spent. And the map maker is certainly talented.

What an absolute nail-biter of a map! Elevator action! So glad to see view submitted maps made from scratch and not from some popular WAD.

9:20 “Baby’s first tech base” 😂😂😂 Now I want to see a WAD pack with that name, and have each level grow more complicated (and adult) as you progress. 42:48 this map is simply nuts. It would make for a fantastic death match level.

That was a nice playtrough! Good map design to! Think im gonna played it right away! 😇

This was really fun to watch and I love the presentation and creativity in using the vanilla textures

This is the content I crave. A hole in my soul has been filled

Missed these longer videos, love it

Man, that's an incredible map. Very well done, my only complaint would be the level 1 music lol.

The blind run and pure reactions were amazing. You did really well. Love watching you come up with strategies on the go and think fast. This is great.

Nice map! I really love Doom tech base levels. This is the pinnacle of them all! Great job explaining the map mechanics.

Nice and interesting base tech map. I really enjoy it watching the playthrough. It has a couple of quite creative fights and with a high and moderate difficulty that require strategy. That area where they catch you and you have to resist, he said, he got quite worried about what could happen but at the same time he had a lot of fun because of the mechanics of the fight. A really fun map, and thanks for the creator to make a such interesting map.

Oh my God! This map is both gorgeous and really clever. (Also, viewer submissions. Yipp! And 50 minutes too?) I am only sad because there's no way I can make a map at least half this good.

This is awesome, decino you rock! ♡

I love these videos where we don't know if you're going to survive the first run or not!

thanks man, looks cool! also nice running from evil track for an hour long level!

Lols, during the blind run, observe decino still mentally locked in nightmare mode; manically chaingunning the now slowmotion pinkies and cacos and twitching as if he's awaiting respawns that he knows arent coming but still expects somehow... really enjoyable vid. and a great showcase of a stellar quality map. excelently crafted with an amazing understanding of doom mechanics and combat. lovely stuff Dec! really enjoying the DooMII NM runs as well, just as I enjoy all your vids! thanks again!

Such a great map! One of my favorite Decino videos ever!

Very very nice map and playtrough! Looking forward to see more from this guy.

I’m going to really enjoy this video.

36:54 "I'm getting an Industrial Zone vibe from the music and me wanting a pain elemental to go somewhere specific." LOLOLOLOL

New format is awesome! Blind mystery maps make for a lot of intrigue.

Ths map was surprisingly awesome. Very creative, really loved the playthrough.

Man, that first try, tho! Blind runs always have the capacity to tighten your asshole, even when you're not the one playing. What an amazing map this was.

The blind run start is a great idea. Personally, I think it’s fun for us to see the map firsthand, as viewers, at the same time as the player. Feels more connected that way.

i personally prefer the practiced format over blind, but i do appreciate longer videos as well. looking forward to the rest of the viewer submissions, those are some of my favorites. lots of variety.

One of the best submissions of all rounds in general.

What a marvelous submission!

Wow, that was satisfying. Great map. Great blind run. And even 100% items. Very, very satisfying.

What an amazing map. Really well done.

Very good level, tech theme and a lot of well-designed fight and traps

Yay, finally, after a long wait, The Pumpkin Man's playing viewer submissions! I'm also looking up to that one submission that will be chosen in the future, can't wait :)

One of my favorite map playthroughs!

Very cool map, well designed fights and traps, very smart fighting, not just blind slaughter (not that theres anything wrong with that, but smart fighting deserves much praise for the creator). And thank you for including the blind run too, this is a very good start to a very good round of submissions😁🙏🏻

Talk about a storng start. This looks like a great map. Regarding your comment at the end, I checked the DW thread and it seems the version you got is the one that got a few touch-ups to improve the experience(I can also see the original was only tested in GZDoom and it was straight-up broken in Vanilla-accurate ports like Crispy or PrBoom+).

Surprisingly well made map!

That was Excellent... cool map 👌

I like these blind playthroughs!

Wow this map really IS a Clever Girl! That second death at 21:31 deleted my soul after that hair raising encounter with the arch vile and baron, I did not think you'd survive to that point. Well done with the run, love maps like this!

what a clever map ! thanks Decino

I really like all the exploring in this map. Well done to the map maker

Thanks, Decino, i love blind runs! 🎉

love this blind and practiced run!

Amazing map - Love the cryptic secrets

Compliments for the map creator! That is a masterpiece!

Excellent map! I really enjoy how the same base DOOM mechanics from so many years ago keep being surprising in hands of creative mappers.

Yas, round 5 here we go! Wish I submitted something but I was nervous so I didn't. Maybe in round 6 I will. Map has a nice aesthetic and feels like a standard Doom 1 map while being unique in its own way. Can't wait to see you play the rest of them, no doubt some will be of your liking.

very clever and well made map! props to the author

That map made you work for it! So many traps.

If somebody told me this is Cyriak's map, I'd totally believed them. And as far as I see from the footage, combat is very cool. My respect to the author, good job! Can't wait to participate in next Viewer Submissions.

Incredibly clever use of lift mechanics here - it made the secrets and the fights great.

What a cool map. Lots of neat fights.

50 minutes, 300 enemies, what am i into? edit: haha that was a great death sequence, you fell into every single one of the traps that were set for you, 10/10 for the map maker reading you like an open book.

That last secret is the kind of secret I want to see more of in Doom.

I liked the map a lot, good that you could play it.

I'm guessing after the first submission, it was really jarring seeing this pretty good submission

wow, that looks amazing :o also pinkies are so painful slow after so much nightmare runs XD

Very interesting techbase with plenty of smart traps.

this is amazing use of mechanics, being so simple but so good at the same time is not easy. And, the difficulty curve goes too well... start normal and goes slowly hard... well we saw in your blind run hahahaha

Nice run pumpkin man

Epic video!!!

20:06 perfect timing with that archville lol

My momma always said life is like a box of rockets, you never know when you're gonna need to blow up some zombie-men.

YES!!!!!! Watched until you mentioned BLIND, and just had to come here to express my thanks. Your blind runs seeing you figure it out are the best :)

That map looks well made

Blind runs, especially viewer levels, are always fun to watch

Really cool map and mechanics. Is it part of a full wad? I'd watch a series on this if the other maps are as well made as this one was

that helicopter, super cute, i love it!

It's been a while since I've seen a blind run. I admit it's impressive to see the results of practice and strategy, but the blind runs are more like what I'd see if I was playing. Except I'd probably die faster.

This reminds me of classic traps from Plutonia. The teleporter + Archvile combo really gives me that Map 7 flashback. Seems to be a cool map to play in overall.
