Thanks man, not even google came up with that result. And this reminded me to check out the Mayhem 2048 mapset too.

I must say after playing two megawads of 1024 the small-ish size, while being a nifty design challenge, actually is abit too small for it to be altogether fun.

I haven't played the 2048 set just yet but it really seems to me to be the ideal for fun and design challenge. Its small enough to keep you from thinking that you've got to roam around but without making you feel cramped. Forces the player to deal with his issues rather than running from them.

There were alot of maps in the 1024 sets that really made me wish I could jump over some boxes and engage the other hallways where monsters were sniping from. It was abit of a tease.

I really, really like the death mechanic though for punishing players who jumped outside the 1024 barriers. Having the crushing voodoo doll dynamic. Its abit meta but pretty nifty.

Somebody should use something like this in lieu of a standard lava floor, with a safe zone sector that makes that crushing cieling go back up and stop crushing. (like a special radiation zone where you're being disintegrated slowly, and you have to get into a specific body-wash station to get it off of you)

Just imagine this map where at a certain distance revs fire actual rockets at you, and bruisers throw fireballs that do the same thing.

> it was my stab at giving monsters more effective long range attacks, now they're generally just as deadly to you at long range as they are at medium/short

> some of them shoot Vore firepods at extreme range too, like they have time to cast an actual satanic magic spell since you're so far away they'll just make something that chases your ass down. . . now you see it come around the corner and you didnt know where it came from and you're like ASH from evil dead trying to dodge it a constant 6 inches from your belly.

People need to accept that Autism is real, its a hardcoded change to the brain, and that these people can be put to some serious work that is suited just for them (and shilling online is not one of those tasks).

Alot of fucking money is being missed out on this, its an industry that nobody currently values because they cant see the possibilities.

> this could be like crowdfunding but for programming or any other pursuit, the list of artists and contributors being so massive compared to an in-house ensemble that it cant even be listed in the credits.

> the amount of pixel art out there alone is a testament to this

> maybe Trump will put them to work as such, pic related
