Custom WAD Showcase: Waybac
An epileptic, mismatched level from a mildly promising designer. Not a lot more at this point, but sometimes a little promise is all one needs. This particular offering just doesn't make much sense, though. So many abstract rooms cobbled together. And then there's the mincer full of demons... 4/10.
BUT: given how easy it is to criticise, I am putting up an example of somewhat disjointed level design from my own youth - well, 2008 - here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zvg284smla3jj0s/church.zip?dl=0

Description : My intention with this level - my first and
probably my last - was to construct a level that was
reasonably challenging to complete, but without
tossing 20 monsters in each room. But, I did
assume that you don't cheat! Otherwise, the
level will be too easy to complete.
Most rooms have a "trick" for making it through
mostly unscathed, but can take a few passes to
figure out the best strategy.
While I did place the additional player and
Deathmatch starting locations, it is really
designed for single player mode.
