is the correct answer 

If I were to ever map again, it wouldn't be for vanilla Quake. I'd want to maybe use the Quake engine or Q2 and make a new game. Pretty much like Quake (spiritual successor). There's a big gap in the indie market where none of them are able to make a good old skool, retro I guess they like to call in, FPS. Sell it on Steam of course for like $10-$15. That much work should not go unrewarded and the industry is more open to older graphics now, when it's intended. The push for the best graphics and engine are over.

But I've got no time to do that.

I thought Sock was doing something like that with the fantasy stuff he was doing, something commercial quality. But maybe not anymore if he's cancelled it. 

AD_Sepulcher, Tronyn merger, now Kona's maps merged into a sprawling megamap, couple more. Then all released as an indie game. 

Possibly better than all the 5.5/10 games Kona is forcing himself to play ;) 

If theres any room for guest mappers let me know ;)

this is bad. 

I would keep an open mind with Stray.
Castle is actually responsible for some of the maps in the semi-official Doom 2 wad 'No Rest For The Living'. 

Were they good maps?

I hope he can at least make an effort to animate the models instead of having them floating across the floor. The Imp models looks alright too, so it could have promise, one day. The fact this gets shown publically suggests he thinks it's okay already. 

I believe castle and one other were responsible for No Rest for the Living.

I think you're confusing two separate projects by different people? The doom stuff in UE is not Stray. 

btw. I'm playing Serious Sam's Bogus Detour
Very nice game! Huge props for modding capabilities. 

they were excellent maps, bundled with the XBLA version of Doom 2 (hence semi-official). In fact it became my default way of playing Doom 2 for a long time.
I trust he will spend a lot of time nailing down the gameplay mechanics before anything else. 

A bit late I know but hey it's not that previous-gen. Very nice gfx and atmosphere. Surprising variety of interactions so far. But the ridiculous sparse auto-saves (none by any significant gameplay events / pauses / cutscenes) and the trial and error stealth mechanics really suck dick together. Scary alien and synths are less scary when you're bored replaying from half an hour back.

5.5/10 so far. 

You're aware there are manual save points, right? 

May I offer you a "tip(or 2)". No spoliers ofc.

As Skacky pointed out there are save stations scattered about that beep pretty distinctly when you are near.

For me the only thing wrong with that game is how on Nightmare the humans are 360 no scope one shot aim bots :( And also, on any difficulty they shoot through "solid" matter.

I used to speedrun it, have over 1200 hours in game!! 

Already uninstalled/removed from account/refunded. 

Yeah I know those.

I use a save station. Then I play a bit and continue through the game. I complete a task. There's a mini-cutscene. No auto-save like there would be in every other post-2000 non-Souls game ever released. I play a bit more. The Alien appears, decides out of the 15 route choices around whatever particular maze I'm in, it will choose the one that involves eating my fucking face off. Die, reload....back at the fucking save station which might as well be on a different planet. Play a bit, task, cutscene, etc again. This time do all of that, then retrace steps to the save station that is miles back, retrace steps forward, etc etc. 

Stop running around and the Alien won't catch you. 

When I have to complete a mission like get some fucker's keycard and I hear and track the alien going to the far side of the complex and creep out towards the keycard and/or next hiding place and suddenly the fucking thing trots back and glares at from me from 3m away, I'll just sit there and hope it thinks I'm a piece of funny-shaped furniture and not SCOOP MY BRAINS OUT THROUGH MY FACE LIKE IT DID IN EXACTLY THAT SAME SITUATION LAST NIGHT which was when I gave up playing. 

Walking and running makes noise and attracts the Alien. Crouching doesn't. Not my fault you're bad at the game. 

It is your fault that you're bad at giving advice on the interwebs tho.
