Map Waffle

The map started as a standalone user map for the mod Arcane Dimensions,
it was later picked up by the AD mod team to be developed and incorporated
into the next big release of the mod. The map was originally planned to be
a remix of the quake map e1m3, however as the map was so heavily rebuilt
and restructured we simply passed a point where the 'e1m3 feel of the map'
faded away. Still, there are key elements and remnants of e1m3 to be found
and I would like to highlight a few of these:

1. The great arch in the beginning is an extension of the original grand
arch found in the starting room of e1m3.
2. The first left turn of e1m3 remain, it is now located further in from
the starting point, look up and you'll see grand wooden ceilings,
an extension of the original wooden ceilings.
3. The early grenade launcher of e1m3 is now pushed slightly forward into
the next room, past the left turn.
4. As in the original map there is a great divide of paths to the gold key,
one to the left and one to the right. If you're familiar with e1m3
you'll recognize the grand door to the left, the bars in the middle
with an ogre behind and the small staircase leading down to the right.
5. The gold key is located in a large open and watery space where the two
paths collide, although similar in some sense the area is greatly enhanced,
featuring an open sky, a broken down church, an old sacrifical temple
and more. All beautifully realized by Simon.

Simon has since added additional nods to e1m3, I would recommend playing or
at least visiting the classic e1m3 map before playing sepulcher. I would
also like to thank Simon for taking the time to finish this map while also
staying true to the original shapes and layout I provided to him almost
a year ago. The time, effort and hardship which he has gone through to
realize this map is commendable to say the least.

/Henrik

When I first saw the original map by Henrik I loved the organic style of the
brushwork. The map architecture felt ruined and rundown, but with plenty of
artist flair that each room felt different. The original map also featured
ropes, which I always thought was a cool feature of the mod!

My initial imput to the map was to help with the layout and flow, because it
had too many straight sight lines that were hurting performance and encounters.
The next issue was the lighting, because none of the torches were 'hot' or
glowing. The secret to good lighting is to have contrast and the giant torches
needed to burst with light and dispell the gloom of the map.

As the map grew in size and complexity (plus prefabs from me) it was
obvious the map was not going to be finished on time for the mod deadline.
So instead of rushing the map, we decided to put it on hold until after
the release of the 1.5 update.

It is always interesting to come back to a map after a long pause and see
the map with fresh eyes again. It is so easy to get too involved in a map
and wrapped up in your 'own vision' to realize that not all map design is
good map design. So with less attachment to existing brushwork and layout,
I decided to reiterated the map by converting it to GTKradiant.

As each room was rebuilt on grid, this meant the compile times were really
low (<5mins) and I could rapidly compile and test things without much of a
creative pause. The turnaround time from idea to being compiled was
drastic reduced and iteration become easy and rewarding to experiment with.

The map is very much focused around the introduction of unique monsters
like the boil, swampling and boglords. Often the hardest part of desiging
new monsters is finding good ways to use them without making everything
so scripted and rigid. Luckily the new monsters grew with the map and
it felt like a journey of design for how they were used.

As the map was inspired by E1M3 I decided to include a couple of moments
that I thought summed up what E1M3 meant to me.

* In the water caves area where there is a giant button operated portcullis,
there are large free standing curved archways which can be jumped all over.
These are designed to look like the arches found in the original map
where the GK is located in the water.

* After the catacombs and before the final arena is a room with a ledge
and two ogres. There are two doors on either side like the original map
design which are button operated. I always liked this room in the original
and felt it needed to be included as hommage to the original.

* In the arena around the final giant lift are platforms high up the walls
which have ogres on them. This is similar to the ogres found in the corridor
leading to the final elevator up. There is even a secret teleporter which
can be used to telefrag one of the ogres like the original!

I have always loved creating secrets for maps and this map is no exception
to the rule and to be honest, it went a bit bonkers! Generally speaking,
anything of interest is marked as a secret, but this map is so densely packed
that it would be the secret sound going off non stop! So there is some
'unmarked' secrets which are (mostly) listed in the readme file.

I often create secrets I would generally like to find myself and this
map has all the types I can think of (including running/timed secrets)
During the course of development of this map I got a massive amount of
help from Eric, so I thought it would be cool to do a thank you secret
and it is located in the Sanctum (after GK door).

Being a fan of non linear map design I have included plenty of shortcuts,
interconnectivity loops and ways to bypass huge parts of the map. I know
this can upset some players because they feel they must see everything
first time, but this is not what the map is about. All paths lead to the
end of the map and that is the point of the map, its a journey, not a
guided tour. Just re-play the map again and enjoy discovering new stuff!
