Ixtromaton

(Made with Progs_Dump 3)

So, this is a small (yet unecessarily ambitious) project I have been working on sporadically since 2024, and the first map I ever publish.

This is a short and slightly experimental Idbase map, whose main feature is an arena section near the start, where enemies drop health and armor upon dying.

This map also includes original music and a few modified monsters, so expect some surprises in-game.

Constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, congratulations on your first released map. It was absolutely fantastic. To me, it felt more like a trailer or teaser for a full episode. I imagine an incredible amount of time went into creating the modified monsters, which is a bit of a shame because I couldn't really appreciate them during the horde fight. I'd definitely love to see more content in this style. Thank you very much.

Heh, if it makes you feel better, this is just my first *public* map, after a couple years of messy practice. There were like 10-15 crude attempts (that will never see the light of day) before this lol
Great stuff. I love the overuse of custom monsters/music and other stuff. Lighting and brushwork is well put together. My only minor complain would be the exit, feels unfinished after all the polish and detail put into the map.

My play-through with some lack of patience for secret hunting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLU-wTWMps4

A breath of fresh air... I just played through the map and was truly amazed by the quality. It's a small, arena-style map featuring intense, hard-hitting combat. The music fits the mood perfectly, and the details are beautiful. I'd love to see more of this... Great work!

This was so much fun and felt surprisingly new to me, after so many years of Quake. I like the new Monster types, the overall very detailed Design, the driving music and that one funny secret a lot. 5/5. I'd love to see more of this. Thank you sharing this. Also the "path finding" was clear and I didn't run out of resources (wich can be a bummer when you run out of ammo).

This is so good. It's genuinely hard during the first fight, really fun - a cut scene! - and, the other thing. I loved it - whatever this is should be the theme for a jam.

The last fight felt too easy compared to the rest, but it's great. More of this kind of thing!

Well done, idea.
Just need to think about ratios for enemies/ammo/shields.
Thank you for your labor and time.
