Seconding Nihility, it's *really* fucking good and uses only DeHacked and some basic trickery to change things up in ways that are exciting and moody, good use of basic ambient sounds.

Levels are 10/10, they feel vaguely like original Id Software levels, using alpha and beta assets to make for something that feels like a mix of the pre-release and final game's aesthetics, yet also does everything in a way that feels very fresh.

Can't wait for episodes 1, 3 and 4.

Yeah.
I think what I really like about is how it feels very old and dated using the alpha and beta assets, yet it does something kind of fresh with it, and it makes things feel flashy using relatively simple tricks, like palette swaps and basic ambient sounds, basic dehacked functions too.

I really like the new monsters, and I wonder if he'll ever add a soundtrack or if it being quiet is intentional.

Speaking of using the old cut development content, is there any other mapset which uses the alpha and beta assets like Nihility does?

I gave Nihilistic a try, and I figured "it's only dehacked, it probably won't be mindblowing", but I'll say that it's actually pretty good, the detail is about adequate, but what really makes it is the aesthetics it goes for with the healthy usage of Alpha/Beta assets, and how the levels kind of feel a bit like classic ones.
A lot of it is really just reskins, but it honestly goes a long way to give it it's own charm.

The only thing I would really change that I can think of is a Decorate patch that combines the function of the bayonet and rifle, but this set is made for Boom so that'd be more of a side-thing.

I really hope to see the rest sometime, it's really good so far.
