Music: 3+2 egyuttes - Kicsiny Falum ott szulettem
MAP05 - Hoarse Fredrick by Dishoria
Descripiton: not based off one singular part of gothenburg. instead based off more areas in the city as the area i was intending normally to do was boring.
Build time: about a month
Extra: Two new textures. One is a line of text with added A.A.O and a sign
New music: Enter the eternal fire ?by bathory
MAP06 - One Bad Powder Day by Moustachio
Description: One limit-removing map set on a desolate ski mountain in my home state of colorful Colorado, USA. You've fallen off of your chairlift, and now you have to fight your way to the nearest bus stop (at the base of the mountain!). Features some mostly small to medium sized spaces and fights. There's a mansion, a cliffside, and a ski run you have to fight through. It's nothing above Doom 2 - TNT levels of difficulty in my opinion, but I will let the playtesters decide.
Build time: 1.5 weeks
New music: "Breeze" by stewboy?
Tested with: DSDA-Doom 0.27.4 (-complevel 2??)
MAP07 - Forgotten Lake by Senapigru
Description: Forgotten Lake is a love letter to the solitude found in West Virginia's wilderness. Sedate moments line the more explosive encounters tucked in the hills. I hope you enjoy.
Build Time: About two and half weeks
Music: Watersong by James Paddock
Additional Comments/Thanks: Huge thank you to stochastic, rita remton and walter confetti. This is the second and perhaps final build of the map, although I may find more things to add/change in the future as well as any feedback related balancing

Build time: a month, more than less
New textures: Too many sources, mostly russian\slav FPSes
MAP09 - Muckmire by Hebonky
Description: a very tough map, not sunlust tier CBT but tough and fair. No "slaughter until the final fight which is a bunch of weaker enemies so it wraps up fast. (the manc in the hammer secret is intentionally stuck)
Build time: 1 month
New music: Engage by James Paddock
Tested with: DSDA 0.27.5, Crispy Doom, and Doom Retro
MAP10 - High Falls by stochastic
Description: I built this map to highlight some of the amazing natural landscapes found in my home state of Alabama, USA. The main layout is based on High Falls Park in northeast Alabama, which features the titular 35 ft tall, 300 ft wide waterfall and a beautiful arch rock, popular with cliff divers. Other parts of the map showcase Alabama's numerous cave systems, referencing Stephens Gap, Three Caves, and the Red Mountain caves. The wooded section references Alabama's many pine and oak woods/forests. The rustic cabin is loosely based off my childhood experiences visiting my friends' lakeside cabins. Of course there are some exaggerations and creative liberties I took to Doomify the map - however, most of the map, I think, is a good representation of Alabama's natural beauty. Also added several Alabama-related Easter eggs for the good measure :) This is my 2nd map I've worked on and submitted to a community project, so I've still got a lot to learn - enjoy, and thanks for playing!
Build Time: On and off for 2 months

MAP12 - Historic Seaside Town by LordPachellus
Location: Brazil
Description: The map is based in the look'n fell of small seaside towns in the brazilian seashore. Some of them are considered world heritage by UNESCO. Some examples of brazilian towns that have inspired this map: Paraty, Buzios, Ilha Grande and Morro de Sao Paulo. It is common in these towns folks not be allowed to access the historical parts by car (that is the idea of the map), except for official vehicles and the few cars that belong to local residents (like the police car you will find in a specific scenery in the map). Plot: Doomguy is tired of fighting monsters everywhere and has decided to go to a peaceful and small old seaside town by riding a small motorized boat. On arrival, it appears to be only a few monsters enjoying the sun of the coast, with almost no noticeable presence of demons from hell, as in other recently visited locations. The city is cozy, and it is even a cruise route! Come in this adventure through places like beaches, lighthouse, squares, bars, chapel, museum, library, coastal g
uesthouse, old residential buildings, ships and more some surprises you need to play to figure them out! The town is not simply what it appears to be, behind the history exist a lot of secrets to be discovered by avid explorers!
