Description             : My first proper project with maps created one after the other, inspired heavily by KDiZD. Pipe Dream started out as, well, a pipe dream. After 3 decades of playing Doom wads I decided at the start of this year to learn to make my own. This pack of 5 maps is the result, with each map being designed one after the other. You can see that as they go on, I do make use of more advanced UDMF features as I learned them, but I have tried hard to go back and make everything as polished and coherent as possible.

Oh yeah, you're a space marine in a techbase that is slowly getting corrupted by Heck!

                                MAP LIST:
===========================================================================

==================
MAP01: "Sludgeworks"
==================       

A classic Techbase with plenty of slime machines and KDiZD aesthetics. Linear, short and not too punishing.

================
MAP02: "Fistful of Gloop"
================        

Down in the sludge featuring a grandiose central arena, cheesy ambushes and your last proper look at the outdoors before you descend deep into the rock.

=================
MAP03: "Rock It"
=================        

Going deep now into the UAC's cavernous mining operation, where sludge turns to sweet saucy magma. Getting adventurous with 3D floors (but not too much!)

===============
MAP04: "Hole"
===============         

A little bit of slaughter down in the underground where masses of hell's minions have broken through into our world. Has at least one interesting battle featuring arachnotrons and teleporting lines. A few more 3D floors and slopes here and there, but I tried to keep my enthusiasm in check.

=======================
MAP05: "Heckin'"
=======================

Finally, you reach the other realm! To make it feel like you're in a strange new place, classic Doom-y textures are now mostly replaced with cold, unfeeling OTEX shades. I tried to push myself to create more interesting/memorable fights where the environment is somewhat dynamic (at least for one fight). A pinch of traditional mindless BFG-strafing to finish.
