Description:
Plutonia Revisited is the brainchild of Doomworld member Joshy. Many people love the original Plutonia and Plutonia 2, so making Plutonia-inspired levels is quite popular. The basis behind this project was to use Plutonia and Plutonia 2 resources as a base to create a new megawad of Plutonia-style maps suitable for singleplayer and cooperative playing. To keep with the theme, all of the maps had to run within the original vanilla compatibility.
I contributed 1 map to the project named Atlatl and it was themed as a sort of abstract hellish city. The gameplay is mostly non-linear and fairly difficult given it’s in the MAP29 slot. It’s pretty lengthy too; it probably takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average player to complete. I tried to make some interesting traps and to inject lots of secrets. I liked how this map came out although I don’t feel that I was able to pull off the Plutonia feel very well.
I started working on the map when I was in the process of building a new computer. I sold my laptop to pay for the parts, so in the meantime I only had access to my old Windows 98 Gateway box. I couldn’t work on my larger projects at the time since that machine wasn’t able to handle them. So that situation was part of the impetus for me to make a map for this project; the map was very simple in comparison to my other projects, so I was able to make it on my old machine without it choking out.
