Another entry from Joel's second Doom contest, this one's a bit of a mixed bag. The level layout and ambience is pretty good, it's quite fitting to HDest's style of gameplay for open areas. The equipment given at the start prompted me to start off on Naturist again, which was a nice challenge since RNG pretty much results in me getting different stuff each time I start the map. Almost like the Insurgent loadout in a way, except not as extreme.

Now, regarding the party crashers. There's a missing actor in the archive for this map that I had to scoot over so it'll get properly loaded in (the chair), there's also points where you could get stuck and softlocked like in the second secret with the teleporter or the swimming pool. I had to repeat this run a good amount of times 'cause of those insufferable sudden softlocks just ruining the mood. Could've probably gotten a higher average too if I wasn't going out of my way to evade the softlocky bits. Well, atleast the map itself is decent enough for me to tolerate those two. I suppose I could've noclipped out in the other demo recordings of the softlocked run, but it wouldn't be cricket to use cheats.

Felt like running a different set today, so I'm going with the modified Doom 4 Vanilla stuff I got. The one that I tore out the internals of so I could use it as an impromptu reskin set, just the sprites and sounds. My HDest weapons D4 rearm skin set sorted out the view sprites front. I don't actually have D4 or even DE, so the music side's filled in with 1187's OST.
