RAMP 2023 [Doom II] Level 263: The Welding
RAMP 2023 is the third edition of the Rabbit's All-comers Mapping Project! Like the others before it, it's a compilation of maps submitted by members of the Doom community, both new and old. The game is centered around a hub level, with completion of the submitted maps allowing players to progress in the hub.
This was an event to encourage people from inside and outside the community to dip into Doom/GZDoom mapping and to give them the chance to be part of a wider project. It's inspired by TerminusEst13's trilogy of DUMP WADs (the Doom Upstart Mapping Project), and aims to continue their welcoming spirit - to help people get started and try to make something!

About the Map:
Another somewhat tricky one, with sequential battles that tend to contain a multitude of enemies, usually in places that are tricky to get potshots on. I would argue that the map gets 'easier' with progression, but that would mainly be due to the near unavoidable damage the player takes from the Zombiemen, and lack of more powerful weaponry until later on. Once the player attains the Rocket Launcher and Plasma Rifle, they shouldn't have too many problems from there on out. Great contrasting use of blue and grey.
