Honestly, this is a solid early effort and has some creative ideas. A few general design pointers I'd give: - The more details there are on a wall texture that's manmade, like the STARTAN at the final room, the more jarring it is visually when it's on a bunch of walls at unusual angles, like the jagged secret hallway. I'd use more rocky textures for areas like that. - Think of ways to break up too much use of one texture to add some nice detail. Add a 32 unit panel of METAL2 or something, for instance. - Find some go-to textures to use for the inset walls of your door cubbies. DOORSTOP is a good one if your door cubby is only 8 pixels wide, but SUPPORT2, SUPPORT3, SHAWN2, or the light textures are also ones that I've seen get used for thicker cubbies. - If you have a wall that's lowering into damaging or liquid floor, use the linedef special that makes it change its texture when it lowers. It looks more realistic since the liquid would flow over it as it lowers. - Don't be afraid to change up the lighting in outdoor areas. I tend to darken areas with a higher floor that the player can't reach to give the illusion of even longer distances (like mountains and hills that the player or monsters can't get onto).

a rare sight: decino chainsawing a archvile

should be a honor to have your first msp played by decino:D i see a lot of beginner mistakes here but the architecture is pretty, hope we'll see more maps from thid author!

05:35 Bruh, you meant to say "heck"!

Babe wake up Decino uploaded a new blind playthrough

The structure of the map is really really good, it feels like what it is, a "Map 01". In the other hand the texturing had some strong parts (lightning and details like the yellow key lift, I really like that) but the walls are too grey, also a lot of tech-basey pannels that keep changing size, etc. I think if you are gonna use custom mechanichs like the jumpads, use a custom texture for it. (the jumpads are amazing tho) Also, the firepower is strange, for mid demons at least you have to give a SSG. and the plasma is a bit late on the map so it turns useless. at the time you've got it, already killed a lot of cacos, hellkinghts, an archie... and yeah, the music is important to make your map more "unique". Anyway, the map is cool, secrets are easy to find but also easy to miss if you play not paying attention. The exit part was cool too. A lot of potential, some tweaks here and there and it's done. Hope you read this, Gojiman! Keep it up.

This map shows what I really like about newer map makers. They kinda experiment. Like in that map you played some time ago and called it unorthodox, with strange texture choices and design. It brings something new to very familiar game. Every time I try to make a new map, I have that restriction of "make it look as much vanilla as you can" in my mind. And it's hard to get rid of. Newer map makers think completely free, thus bringing something new to doom map making \o/ P.S. maybe make a competition of gimmicky maps?

It’s official decino is insane; Who in their right mind even thinks about chainsawing and archvile lol

Seems like Goji is DOOMTuber shopping because David showcased this one as well 😂. Definitely a neat start, jump pads are an interesting idea, overall placement is fine, but the polishing can indeed do with a bit of work: we all learn by doing so keep it up! Editing note: you mentioned it already, but please do swap to some form of hardware rendering when mouse-looking. I suffer from motion sickness and software rendered mouse-look is incredibly nauseating. Could cope on this one as it wasn't used as much but it's really no fun.

You can definitely tell when a map is made with continuous play vs. single run in mind. The Plasma behind the red door with the key so late, as an example, at least hints to me it is meant ot be there to help the 2nd level more. Nothing wrong with that, imo. I know I tend to like campaign kinds of maps more than made purely with the mindset of a pistol start every time.

I keep thinking d_runnin is going to go weird like my house.

While the use of Running from Evil bothers me a lot, I'll happily take this level of creativity and willingness to play around with extra engine funcions over sterile technical competence. Making a lift into a temporary bridge is a nice touch even for vanilla, the particles are always nice to see, and the jump pads are fun, while also way less janky than the damaging jump gems in Alcazar.

the design of that earlier room with the first hell knights and platforms with green sludge floor, good stuff, not annoying platforming where you actually have to platform, but still feels good and adds to the dynamics a good deal, especially with those imps and shotgunners surrounding (add more!) I like the classic DOOM and DOOM 2 music usage often enough (haven't overplayed them to the point where I don't enjoy hearing the song for a nice throwback - especially on a map that feels like a throwback)

We discovered jump pads when making Ethereal Breakdown on Doom 64. Fun and cool gimmick, also to use them in fights.

This map gives me a strong "what if 90s mappers had modern editing tools" vibes. Interesting ideas but some weird progression, especially making the red key a secret and placing it in such a way that you can't get the plasma rifle until you've already dealt with most of the tougher opposition. (And since you mentioned Plutonia: even it gave you a super shotgun and a rocket launcher relatively early, though of course it was also possible to face at least one Arch-Vile underpowered if you didn't know where they were!)

The final secret was abit goofy, but I think this is a pretty good Map 1, especially for a 1st time creator

I like that the pillar of skulls was a subtle way to indicate the secret ending. Walking over the corpse to access the supercharge at the end of the level might be too obscure, though a slightly hidden switch or trigger to go with it might work well.

We all know Decino But we never saw Deciyes Crazy

Ahh my favorite KZfaq Genre European

ah nice a new video ! Loving your content like always !

Back in the day when Unreal was what me and my friends would play together, I created a chain of maps and I named them alphabetically. I miss those days and those guys.

Delightfully messed up. Some interesting design, some surprises, some good ideas. This is a good first release. Well done, Gojiman1.

There's something really wholesome about watching decino play peoples first maps!

Mouse look in Doom is heresy!

Excellent video worth watching.

Those 2 high teleporters over the jump pads were intriguing.

Nice run pumpkin man

Jump pads puzzles were very cool, it were even introduced well with easy jumps (yellow key) to harder ones (those caves with items in the sludge room).

This chad decino just uploads when he feels like it and leaves! 👑

glad to be the 400 like person , mr Decino is a nice map but the archvile was a suprise

It's a pretty neat map. My criticism: (1) secrets should be sector based, not item based, (2) it's too grey, and (3) there are some textures which are misaligned. Those three things, if fixed, would make for a really good map.

Excellent ideas for game play, considering first map.

Cool map! UAC is all yours!

Wow, this mapper is really really creative!!!!

Hi decino You are my hero

I always love seeing when new mappers have a bunch of potential.

Another decino video 🍺!!

great vid … thanks the graphics seem to have more depth , in a way , almost like quake

0:30 one thing I would add is maybe add some steps coming into the starting area, to give the impression of continuation. That is one of the things I loved about WADs like *Going Down* was how the end of each Wad was the beginning of the next one, which enhanced the feeling like it was an actual place. 9:55 the jump buttons are pretty clever. I think this is the first time I've seen something like that. I would love to see an arena where you have to use those to get over obstacles.

Not bad for the first map, mapper has some potential :)

wugh. mouselook with that perspective warping gave me motion sickness... same reason i couldn't play the marathon games.

Pretty Good!

Its genuinely weird to see people like Decino get amazed by the existence of things like particles, advanced colors on walls, 3D objects and things of that nature. In spite of the fact we live in a world with incredibly high graphics and stunning near--photorealistic gameplay in Unreal Engine, some Doom-tubers, because they literally only play doom for a living, seem to have almost forgotten that technology has advanced a long time ago and that things like "particle effects" are extremely standard and have existed for decades. You can tell he isn't faking his enthusiasm either - he hasn't played a modern game in so long, that he genuinely looks at particles with fear, fascination, and wonder - much like a caveman looking upon fire for the first time. Its fascinating, and to be honest, slightly concerning, but still, fascinating as a type of psychological study of how a human brain can revert to a more primitive conception of the world. One wonders how far this can go? If Decino only played Pong for years, would he be amazed by the introduction of colour? For the first time, blue paddles? Would he rave about it in excitement? I feel like he would. And it would be absolutely fascinating to observe from a psychological perspective, much like the Amish are fascinating to observe - from a safe distance of course! Who knows what kind of savagery such an uncivilized mind is capable of :P

Hope the pumpkin family is doing great

Gotta say, I like the RotT-style jump-pads.

the mouselook put me into a state of paralisys and physical pain

Hope you're all doing well anyways decino congratulations on having a beautiful new baby I wish the best for you your child and your misses 🙂🤝

Someone telling me there are people out there still doing maps for this video game is mind blowing. This is not any type of hate comment, but wow, it seems like some people really got caught by this game. talented people to say the least.

Man, this software rendering after 20 minutes watching has translated IRL... my eyes are cursed 😳

It was entertaining how mindblown decino was by particles lol.

I really like the idea of the jump pads but feel they could use a different image asset, and be sightly bigger. Also, having a particle effect on them to show that theyre active and usable might be a good touch

4:00 I actually disagree, I quite like that kind of Archvile use. Yes, your weapons suck, but a shotgun/chainsaw is enough to deal with it, and it's not placed around a lot of enemies that would be nightmarish to have resurrected. The potential resurrected targets are mild hazards, but can be dispatched extremely quickly with what you have, so the fight is mostly about handling the archvile itself, one on one. I much prefer that approach over the slaughter 'here's 9 archviles and 600 cells' mentality that a lot of maps have, it makes the archvile feel like an actual fight as opposed to a slightly different shaded target dummy, without pushing it too far into gruelling 'making you punch something 100 times is a totally fun consistency test' territory. Overall, the firepower pacing and visual polish of this map could have definitely been better, but it's a very promising and fun start. I like that it feels like a map with tangible progression. The jump pads are a really cool mechanic. I also actually quite like the pinky ambush at the end, it also falls into that nice category of not being a slaughter-type ambush and feel fair compared to where you are in the game. It's an attention check but not a deadly gotcha. In terms of the video itself, I have to admit the software rendered mouse look was a challenge. I don't normally get motion sick, but even I occasionally felt a little bit of vertigo. It was by no means insurpassable and was still a fun video to watch.

I actually love the Archvile placement. It's not so much of a threat as to be unfair and the only thing it can revive is zombiemen making it much less threatening. It's a cool use of a powerful enemy that adds moderate difficulty without breaking the game. But the weapons and ammo are horribly paced for this level. The red key secret needs to be much earlier to give a plasma or this needs more rockets, shells, and bullets early on. Or, go cliche and put a berserk pack earlier so you can punch things. i love the jump pads and they give Rise of the Triad vibes. I think they would be a cool recurring element to make this WAD stand out, but I think they are slightly over utilized in this map and the two teleporter jumps need to be tagged as secrets to reinforce the jump pad element of exploration. Overall a good map design that has some gameplay element issues. It definitely doesn't look like a first map.

I like it.

For your 200k sub special you should play tarachillax

I actually got a little motion sickness from watching this. 😅🙈😵‍💫

software rendering mouselook gives me life.

Anybody else wonder what a 10 Star ranking run of Silent Hill (specifically any of the first four) with Decino’s commentary would be like?

Yeah I can see some flaws with this map here. But for the most part I do like this map & some interesting features that I really enjoyed here. Jump switch pads and some interesting textures that works pretty well. Is there any difference with the 3 random switches that does something in the area with 2 tall teleporters? 🤔 Well even then, this map as a whole is solidly good. Good work Gojiman1. 🙂

Ooh, lights and doors in this mine? No way..

I think the archvile arena wasn't too bad. Yes, Map01 isn't supposed to be hard so having a better weapon would be nice, but it looked to be pretty good as far as the physical space - a little cramped to create some challenge, but the nice, big wall in the middle means breaking line of sight with archie is piss easy!

I think I am forever going to think of this music as the MYHOUSE.WAD music.

I'll never get used to that software renderer fov lol 👀🥴😆

Pumpkin 🎃 Man!!!

Love your videos Decino! Do you enjoy Quake?

May we have a analysis about tics on doom? Also great vid btw and epic youtuber

Only doom players do be staring at particles for that amount of time, is kinda bizzare

decino you should do a chex quest analysis video

i dunno. am not a mapper meself so Gojimon could take it with a grain of salt: I was with it in the first half of this experience. It's not very secrethunter friendly, so by the second half I was just wishing it was already over.

There is a way to make freelook not look so weird (as in the dimensions looking really wonky) just dont know how. Im gonna check tomorrow

:D

so next time is the final submission. Will you be picking the replacement for the rejected map after the playthrough?

Looking for different textures and alignment for secrets must tough in a new map makers map. A secret or mistake?

Final Doom nightmare all items when?

I really don't know why but in some of these clips, the camera just looks as if its zoomed in or something, am i tweaking or what?

Free look in this video: 😵‍💫 So it's software rendering that made it weird? Please don't do that, mister xD

Okay I'm not going to demand a fists/pistol only playthrough of Doom 3 like I usually do, but I really do wanna see "TOO MANY SHOTGUNS"

LoL, Decino with freelook makes me dizzy 😵 😅

what's difference gzdoom chainsaw and other source port chainsaw?

Hi! Which mode of Doom you play? In "beautiful doom" there are different options.

decino, did you see new Doom trailer?

Am I going crazy or is there some kind of distortion or FoV weirdness? The vertical camera movement is throwing me off _way_ more than it should

Decino everyone in the community is telling me to stop watching doom 2 and Wolfenstein 3d indefinitely and to unsubscribe from your channel and they've been telling me that for months now. Why do they keep telling me that? It's upsetting and disappointing me.

Your voice sounds different somehow.

How do the jump-pads work?

Most maps are just grossly over ammoed. Doesn't require any skill 8n playing if you have 6,000 cells

But seriously though -- Why isn't he over in Germany cheering on his boys for England right now? 😮

WHY is Robert DeCino playing Doom when the UEFA Euro 2024 is on? Or is he making these videos during halftime? 😮

oh, decino is doing map submissions? how do we submit maps?

Not first!

329

Man, all this cell ammo and no plasma gun? Man this really sparks my disappointment, cool map design tho besides the archvile.

First

Critics equals will. FEEL THE MIGHT UNLEASHED

you play freelook with doom rendering without getting dizzy? 😂 i can't even play those without getting dizzy

horrible map :/
