- Comment: "Gates of perdition is a reimagination of "Perdition's gate", a commercial megawad released in 1996. All while maintaining a 90s feel and the original map flow or main ideas. You can see it as sort of "what if" scenario. [..] As previously mentioned, my goal is to "retell Perdition's Gate." So, I tried to make the most of the options offered by limit-removing and modern level design knowledge to completely rethink the mapset. I tried to expend on the best ideas, correct the bad one and uplift everything with enough detail and doomcute to give the story a fresh feel, all while striking a balance between the charm of the 90s style and some modern touches. I remade every map from scratch ,using the original map as a reference, and even if I had rules I kept enough liberty in my creative process. I, sometime, changed entire sections, lengthened passages I considered too short, widened overly narrow corridors, made some fight more difficult and tried to keep visual consistency for the later levels. In the end it's a new experience... if you are a fan of the OG perdition's gate you will understand what I tried to accomplish by playing Gates of Perdition. I also kept the original intent to make a wad for Single player and Deathmatch... don't know if anyone will ever play DM on them but you can. I use the term reimagining rather than remake because it's a very personal interpretation. While I indeed aim to upgrade the gobal quality of the original proposition it remains a fairly subjective approach. Some maps will be recognizable, while others will require a better familiarity with the originals; after all, I did aim to offer something new to make the mapset worthwhile. Gates of Perdition do not aim to replace perdition's gate in any capacity. Its a different experience altogether. All maps where made by me with the exception of map31 and 32 who where made by @Roofi and Astelan ". A very nice gift from Duskolos, in this infernal heathwave!
