Func_Msgboard: Q1SP: DM6RMX: "The Dark Portal"

Posted by than on 2018/10/08 08:43:10

I managed to finish an old half-finished map I had sitting around on my computer collecting virtual dust after I got inspired by how healthy and active the community still is after all these years. I've fallen in love with the new tools too, so hopefully there will be more maps after this!

Although this map is based on DM6 - The Dark Zone, it's hard to make out any of the original elements, as I changed the map so much to make way for a compelling single player experience. All skill levels are supported, along with (untested) coop and deathmatch modes.

I Think Pretty Much The Same Comments As My Beta-testing.

I.e. it's GOOD. Very strong meaty design (even though it's not my favourite texture theme), good meaty gameplay. The arena bit is a bit long-winded but pretty well-balanced and the usually demoralising Chthon is thankfully short-lived. In my proper run I found all the secrets too. Oh and I like the power-cube usage and effects with the lighting, nice one.

Also of course, DM6 like Id made it ;)

Great Map

Brilliant map. For some reason I didn't enjoy it the first time I started it. IIRC, it was because I just got confused after a while and didn't know how to proceed. But this time around, I just loved it (even though I got a bit confused this time around as well at one point). Unique design and great gameplay. Found 6/8 secrets. Thanks for an excellent map!
