Everfree Nightmare

Mod review

I played one of the creator's previous map sets, Engineer's Eventful Halloween. It used a level generation program named ObAddon with a level, but I could pass it off for being used only sparingly along with the creator's work in tandem with the level presented.

I have problems with this using ObAddon more than the credits lacking a source for it. ObAddon is not really a perfect level generator by all means and the creator did put in some custom things to make it more interesting at least.

But off the top of my head, between maps like on map 3 having no blue key and map 9 taking me to 3 and not 10, and some enemies just stuck in places if Howlers being behind bars was not sad enough.
Larger ObAddon maps can be more of a headache and a bit of a slog to navigate especially with filler rooms with nothing much in them other than act as a pointless and empty area. I have other small issues, but that is for a personal discussion.

I am wanting this as a constructive critique as making original maps is better than publishing just ObAddon levels as the OG Doom corner on this site has had a bit of before with less thought and not for online servers or oneselves. In fact, I am fine if there are maps make in ObAddon but modified heavily to make something more polished and fun to go along with the story... As it sadly did not feel like it did a good job of doing it well after finishing map 3...

Actual good points for at least incorporating some more unique elements from GZDoom in cutscenes and the like unrelated things to ObAddon though.

Spongebob Doom II

Mod review

Good game using some of the nice old Spongbob music, though some touch ups to the enemies could have been made. Otherwise, it is really great.
