RAMP 2023 [Doom II] Level 280: Vanilla Mines
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:
Somewhat tricky, this one. Especially the opening encounter with the projectile throwers atop high walls. The layout varies greatly from room to room, with little cohesion until the 'mines' are reached.
Cool implementation of the 'Gotcha' encounter, and the mineshaft itself with the triad of lifts looked pretty neat. I felt that the backtracking to the exit after the yellow key needed a 'bit' more bite, but otherwise this was all in all pretty decent.
