I might perhaps be an outlier, but I liked the difficulty for precisely the reasons you mention

yeah I know, many people actually liked the combat. That was my biggest worry when I released the map but turned out fine. I'll try to figure it out for next time but can't please everyone and trying to do that can only turn out bad. There are difficulty modes so I can play around them, on this map there are only some mean spawns removed for easier difficulties

This feels like Davox's Ion Fury maps.

Hi, I'm pepsodent, but some call me peps. I'm proud to say that after 6 hard months of learning mapster I finally released my 1st map, Weather Report. The setting is cliche after 30 years of duke mapping but I'm sure everyone made a strip club and slums when making 1st map. Map is a bit open with different paths there and there so you are very likely to get lost for a bit but I made sure everything is as connected as possible and easy to loop around. Honestly don't know what else to say, go play the map and tell me your thoughts about it. How interesting it was, what you liked/disliked, was the combat good or not. Maybe you found super secret? All important info is in .txt file of course

The journey was very fun and I'm very grateful to all the pro mappers that helped me out to get the map done. I discovered this engine and janky but fantastic games on it few years ago and been in love with it since. Always wanted to make something myself but was very intimidated by the tools but gotta say mapster is pretty cool, it really does 'get good when you get used to it', maybe its just Stockholm syndrome who knows but I like it and already got tons of ideas to make more maps.

Absolutely incredible, I can't believe this is your first release! I think you did a damn good job and will look forward to future releases from you that was brilliant

Loved the map! The devastator secret was pretty fun to find.

Loved the fast paced arcade-liked action sequences, excellent attention to detail, pretty refreshing and yet close to the classic.

thanks, another interesting read on my map! I have to mention one thing though, there is no TROR in main building near red key gate (hotel). Its all sprites
