Map01 : Entrygay
Author : Sulphurit
Music : Lands of Lore - Gladstone Forest (Southlands)
Comments : Damned:"Sulhpurit was pretty active during the first months of
the project, but he as fast as he appeared he also disappeared.
Still we decided to keep his maps in, but we selected the name
, background music, etc. by ourselves. It is pretty easy and
small map, but it works fine as a starter."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map02 : Ruins
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Lands of Lore - The Draracle
Comments : Matthias: "This map looked much more epic in my head than the
actual result. Well, I was trying to make it in more 'aztec'
style map, that's why it's Ruins. I doesn't look like that
though."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map03 : Excavations
Author : Sulphurit
Music : Lands of Lore - Upper Opinwood
Comments : Damned:"This is similar case as the first map. Sulphurit
disappeared so we managed all completion if the map by
ourselves. I kind of like the theme, but boring secrets and too
crowded fights makes it average."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map04 : Chapel of Baphomet
Author : Sulphurit
Music : ?
Comments : Damned:"This is the 3rd and last submission by Sulphurit before
he disappeared."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map05 : Infested Helipad
Author : Damned
Music : Memento Mori II - Give In (With Pleasure)
Comments : I planned this map for earlier slot, but Sulphurit was too fast
with his submissions so I had to put it to slot M05. The main
idea was the helipad and everything else has been build without
any specific plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map06 : Close Quarters
Author : Jaeden
Music : Lands of Lore - Catwalk Caverns
Comments : Damned: Jaeden, who submitted most of the superhuge maps in
Zones of Fear provided this time compact map with crumped rooms
and close combats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map07 : Fuck Censorship
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Lands of Lore - The Urbish Mines
Comments : Matthias: "This map is some sort of experiment and playing with
surrealism or something. I remember reading about removing and
remaking some sectors in original Doom because they looked too
much as swastika. So I put some swastika symbols here. No, I am
not nazi, I just don't like cesnorship. Fuck censorship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map08 : Mountain Hideout
Author : Jaeden
Music : Bullet for my Valentine - The Last Fight
Comments : Damned: I really like the hub layout of this map and how the
player progress. For me this is his best map in Czechbox.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map09 : Stairway to Star
Author : Damned
Music : Castlevania - Arya of Sorrow (Floating Gardens)
Comments : I've build the central staircase more than 10 years ago and it
lay on my HDD untouched since than. Still I've found the idea
pretty good so I didn't want to just scrap it. I had idea to
make DM map from it, but when this project started, I decided
to build the whole SP map around it. The Hitler secret is quite
tricky. Don't hesitate to use bigger guns on him. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map10 : Kafkaesque World
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Doom 1 - E1M3
Comments : Matthias: "I had this idea in my head with seeing platforms
raising trought the window and go to jump on them, so I used
this idea here. And there is also the tunnel jumping. Mostly
inspirated by a section in Map 20 in old videogame Powerslave.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map11 : Blast Furnace
Author : Damned
Music : Whispers of Satan - MAP21
Comments : This map started as most of my maps. I've just started to draw
something without any plan and without idea, where the design
will go. After several days of mapping I've found out, that the
map is not consistent. It had two parts with completely
different layout style so I've decided to split the draft and
made two maps out of it. I suppose you would not guess, that
the second part of this map is now map20. This map used heavily
the voodoo doll conveyor belts to rise and lower the bridges to
the central part of the furnance. The mastermind in the end is
not too big challenge if you know, how to block it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map12 : Nineve
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Anvil of Dawn - Underground City
Comments : Matthias: "Like the Map02, I wanted to use some historical
theme, so I situated this map in the acient city of Ninive. So
you can see the city outside from the main building. As usual I
suck at mapping, so not really city-feeling I guess. Maybe
it'll be a surprise, but the design in general was inspirated
by the old videogame Strife.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map13 : Castle Climber
Author : Damned
Music : Rise of the Triad - You Suck!
Comments : I had in mind several ideas, which I found interesting, but I
haven't belived those ideas could be fun to play. One of those
ideas was to build map, which will be really vertically
oriented. One difficulty is, how to build it in not really 3D
Doom engine. Another difficulty is, how to make it fun and
playable. Since whole map is visible right from the start, I
needed to use lot of monster cabinets with teleporters.
Also the map uses shootable switches as standard and it has
been finalized long before Sigil was announced. So I have bad
feeling that John Romero stole my idea. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map14 : Truck Depot
Author : Kloki38
Music : TNT Evilution - Let's Kill at Will
Comments : In the first version we had another map by mr. Musalek alias
NinjaLiquidator. He originally submitted the map for CzechBox,
but due to the long development of this project he published
the map in the meantime in his own project. Therefore we
decided replace this quicky by original map so Kloki build this
piece in few hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map15 : Hometown
Author : Jaeden
Music : TNT Evilution - AimShootKill
Comments : Damned: I am not big fan of city maps, but this one is executed
pretty well. After the player clear out the exteriors there is
not enough action. The secret exit is pretty nice though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map16 : Twilight light
Author : Damned
Music : Rise of the Triad - Excalibur
Comments : This was the second map I've created for Czechbox. I started
again without any plan and waited, what will come from my
intuitive improvisation. I build as usual some techbase, but
then I wanted to make it interesting and build the outside area
with caves and rocks. I liked how this part came out, so this
was in fact the starting point for my map29, which I consider
as one of the best maps I've ever done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map17 : Tickets, Please!
Author : Kloki38
Music : Whispers of Satan - Covert Operations Facility (Map06)
Comments : Damned: Kloki likes to build maps based on real environment.
Here you will fight the demons in subway station. The train
part is pretty repetitive and the final fight with cyberdemon
is quite easy, but overall it plays well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map18 : Orwell's Nightmare
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Anvil of Dawn - Sunken Ship / Quagmire
Comments : Matthias: "I've always wanted to make the bloody/fleshy map,
something like 'In the flesh' level in Blood videogame. And
Doom has lots of meaty/bloody textures. Result was really
horrible and I must've made a lots of changed later.
And as usual, I used wannabe-poetic name."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map19 : HQ
Author : Pipicz
Music : Rise of the Triad - MMMenu
Comments : Damned: Hey Pipi, would you like to provide a map for this
Czechbox shit? :) So the same as for Zones of Fear, I've
convinced Pipicz to submit something. I still regret I wasn't
able to convince Gusta as well :D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map20 : Teleportation Transfer Terminal aka TTT
Author : Damned
Music : Duke Nukem 3D - Water World (E1L4)
Comments : The map TTT has been separated from map11. In fact this part
had been created even before the part for map11. The opening
area was something for me like training of detailing and
mapping skills after long pause in doom designing. Maybe
therefore the map looks more focused on appearence than on
gameplay. Still I really like few moments, like the final area
with bridge, or the cyberdemon fight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map21 : Raccoons' Den
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Lands of Lore - Draracle Caves 1 - Urbish Mines 2
Comments : Matthias: "I had this idea in my head of a map that has a big
hole in the middle, and most of the map is situated in dens
around the hole. As usual, it looked better in my head. Also
this map is some sort of appreaciation of raccoons, because
they are coon animals and they love washing things. So you have
to wash yourself in this map :)"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map22 : Breadcrumbs
Author : Damned
Music : Plutonia MIDI Pack - Seasons of Insanity (Jimmy Paddock)
Comments : Here I tried to create completely non-linear map. Player can go
to all directions, collect the keys in any order and in the end
just open the exit door. Because of this character, the
navigation through the map could be little bit confusing, so
I've added several "breadcrumbs" marks around the map, that
should show the player, what key could they get, if they head
this particular direction. In the end I like this whole
interconnected layout of the map, but the gameplay could suffer
because of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map23 : Made by Crates
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33 (heavily remixed by Damned)
Music : Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Dance of Pale
Comments : Matthias: "I had an idea to make a castle with crates. It
turned out to be far more complicated that it looked in my
head, because, if you want something that is not totally
'crate-shaped', it's not only difficult to make, but it also
mess with the textures around. Eventually I am satisfied with
this map the most."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map24 : Binky Dance
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Serious Sam - Dunes fight
Comments : Matthias: "I wanted to try to make map that keeps you on a one
place all the time. Something like a big battle arena, and also
this map is a rabbit appreaciation, because rabbits are cool.
Did you know when rabbits are happy, they jumping and such? And
it's called binky dance!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map25 : Infernal Stronghold Rush
Author : Damned
Music : Haunted Castle - Cross your Heart
Comments : I also wanted to make some more slaughterish map for this set
and slot25 fits well. Also I wanted to make map in more hellish
environment, because most of my maps are just variations of
techbase. It is different, but still I find it quite enjoyable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map26 : Cuteness Overload
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Lands of Lore - Lower Opinwood
Comments : Matthias: "I realized it's really fun to fight with an army of
low-tier enemies with BFG9000, so I wanted to make a whole map
based on this. Anyway, this whole map was made within a day.
Not suprise, huh?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map27 : Lift it!
Author : Damned
Music : TNT Evilution - Blood Jungle
Comments : This map uses another idea I had in my mind for ages, but dared
to really use it in map. There is big central elevator, that
connects all the floors of the map. I haven't believed it could
work because I knew the elevator will slow down the gameplay
and break the flow of the map. Still I always wanted to do it
and community project like Czechbox offered me the option. I
managed to do the big lift with voodoo doll conveyor belt and
technically it works well. I was aware of the gameplay issues
that will be caused by the elevator, but I think it is overall
not that bad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map28 : Criticall Hit
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Lands of Lore - Draracle Caves 2 - Urbish Mines 3
Comments : Matthias: "This whole thing is actually a remake a map I made
what I was a kid. I liked the idea you have a caste or a
palace, but you can enter directly and you have to use sewers
to get inside. It's little bit inspired by The Assault mode
from Unreal Tournament."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map29 : Hole
Author : Damned
Music : TNT Evilution - Into the Beast's Belly
Comments : I started to work on this map early (I started it as my third
contribution to the project), but it become my magnum opus. I
wanted to do the exterior map, where you jump to the abyss and
you need to climb up again. It is partially inspired by DooM2
map29 (The Living End) and also by the movie Dark Knight Rises.
I like how the map look, I also like the progression, I like
the gameplay. So this is my overall most favorite map of the
set and I am really proud on it. :) Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map30 : Icon of Souls
Author : Damned
Music : Descent 2 - Briefing (Alien Vendetta - MAP22)
Comments : I've never ever done before the true Icon of Sin map and again
Czechbox offered me a chance to do so. I wanted to do the Icon
more plastic, not just wall. I think I havent seen round Icon
before, so here it is. Anyway, you will probably hate this map.
It is pretty dificult to finish it, when you are not really
sure what to do. Also my deviation to spam swarms of lost souls
got unchained here (I had to even lower the amount of the lost
souls during game testing). So here is small guidence.
1. Hit the switch on the north (marked 1 on automap).
2. Then hit all 4 brains of fourheaded Icon.
3. Push 2 eye switched on east and west (marked 2 on automap).
4. Hit again any brain of Icon to finally kill it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map31 : Fresh Air
Author : Damned
Music : Descent 2 - Level 1
Comments : I wanted to do platformer map. Majority of Doomers hates this
kind of maps and therefore I've decided to secure bonus map
slot for it. I like the layout and how the player is
progressing through the map. Due to the openess of the map,
testing was quite hard. During the testing I always found some
platforms, where you can get too early and skip half of the
map. I tried to get rid of those, so it should not be possible
now. Still rocket jumps will completely ruin the gameplay,
because you would be able to jump directly to the exit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map32 : This Map Is Boring
Author : Matthias alias enkeli33
Music : Castlevania Bloodlines - The Discolored Wall (Stage 3)
Comments : Matthias: "Just another map inspired by Powerslave videogame.
This time I was inspired by Map 04.
Not much similarities I'd say."
