Can't think of anything specifically likeable right now, but I can think of 2 things I don't like.

>Having maps that are all fast paced and full of fights suddenly turn into switch hunts

>Having powerful items be in a place where the player can't avoid running over them, sucks to have 180 health but then have to run over a soulsphere because it's in the way

Can you give an example of what you mean on the map 07 remix you like?

Agreed on the automap.
If I'd include something like that in a map it would be more for a super secret or something and it's goodies for the player that you wanted to hide or something like that, not a maze.

For level making, do you ever wonder how the player came to be there?

I normally never care about this at all but since I'm making a 1 level WAD and it's in a pretty weird place (get outta here before the level blows up), I think I have to make at least a token effort to explain somehow how the player came to be there but I'm kind of at a loss.

I think writing in the readme "You are a dude, gtfo before level is kill" is a bit of a copout.
