Glad you enjoyed my crazy megawad, its been fun to watch. In case people are wondering why I made map 29 the "finale" instead of this one, apart from just wanting to end the story with a playable epilogue there was also a technical reason: map 30 is hardcoded to allow monsters to telefrag each other, which meant I couldn't use it for the boss battle as I planned it. If anyone feels like they want to keep killing monsters in this map, there is a button you can press in the monster closet before the lift which will spawn a bunch more ammo in the kitchen and a tasty treat in the fridge. And as for the ending credits, well lets just say the lore runs deep in this wad, and involves the cast of 1970s kids tv show "Rainbow" for some reason. I don't have any plans to return to doom mapping, but then I never have any plans for anying I do, so who knows :)

The implications of this map are interesting. So the videogame of going down implies that the events we saw were doomguy playing a game... but the wreckage outside implies it actually happened. So someone took the time to interview doomguy and made a game based on that, all before uac could rebuild their office, which is also right next door to doomguys apartment? More terrifyingly, it implies doomguy plays doom with a controller.

This is most likely my favorite WAD of all time, just barely beating Sunlust. Every single map is so memorable and creative, and even the maps I'm not crazy about are such a ton of fun to play. There is so much creativity that I haven't seen in this game before, and it really shows how much creativity can be used in such a simple game like DOOM. I saw on the reviews on Idgames that some people do not like the music, but I even think that that is a masterpiece. It shows the absurdity of the whole concept of Going Down, from it's story to it's wacky setting and gameplay. It can even get serious, with the music choice in map 26, where it feels like you are losing your mind in an endless maze. I would love to see Cyriak map again, but if he doesn't, then at least we have this absolute treasure of a WAD.

Congrats on beating Going Down, and thanks for introducing me to it... this map is so detailed and clever but it has very little replayability, especially when it comes to speedrunning. It's just a 10-second sprint to activate the icon of sin, then a 1:20 wait for something to open the door. On Nightmare you want a turbo pinky or specter to spawn at a certain time since they can reach the door quickest, on UV(speed/pacifist, no difference) you want an Archvile. The mandatory wait followed by straight up RNG means you'd have to be a masochist to try and beat the record lol I'm glad cyriak didn't fall for the usual Icon of Sin trap, the previous map was a great boss battle and this was a fantastic ending. Much better than pressing switches and firing rockets into a wall lol

What a ride, I don't have much to say other than I haven't gotten into map making so I have very limited experience of what makes fights good and what demons complement each other. I genuinely didn't know the importance of enemy placement and level structure to make it fun and engaging while making it challenging before watching this series. So this wad taught me something, as I thought what made Doom maps great is the architecture and having levels that don't force you to backtrack for hours just to get lost.

First one is only 9 maps long but very Eviternity-esque, and the second one is a pretty neat experience in itself that goes for a bit over 20 maps. As always, Speed of Doom for the bigger slaughters, and Ancient Aliens for the extreme polish and genius map design as echoed by BTSX1.
