Q: Why am I building these demos?
A: I like watching them afterwards.
Q: What about building itself, is it fun?
A: Mostly not. Some moments are frustrating and rewarding after solving a specific problem, some are just frustrating. However, my latest demo, for MAP32, was fun to build from start to finish!
Q: My opinion about the map...
A: I don't understand why it is regarded as a poor map. Some of the DW Megawad Club commentators said it was the worst Eternal Doom map, if I remember. Yes, it has little replay value and some questionable monster placement, but if we look at the design... it is very elegant, clean.
It is above 50th percentile in terms of aesthetics, I mean, more Eternal Doom maps look worse than Halls of Disarray, than better.
Q: Is this TAS demo any good, compared to others?
A: I can only compare to the ones built by myself, and I think it is! Usually I'm complaining about doing something wrong, like tactics or weapon usage or route, but if this demo has any mistakes, they are very minor. Putting twice as much effort would maybe result in 4-5 seconds less.
The four cacos can be slain faster, I think. SSG'ing the imp army had one quadruple kill and the rest were triple kills; I think one more quadruple kill was possible. But this part looks so good I didn't want to change it, this would require monitoring health of all 38 imps ;) Also the ending was rushed, as usual and another second or two might be cut off. But, as I say, these are very minor. Not picking up backpack or shells (on various occasions) was deliberate and I think I didn't need any extra shells here.
I think it's my second fave after MAP26 demo. That map was 20 times more complex, so with a bit bigger mistakes, but still minor, it is a greater achievement to me as a whole.
