Castle Map - Dunkelschwamm

       The author of this map appears to apologize for making each of his maps. I found this very interesting and I just had to experience BingusMaster's maps to see for myself. SCMapDB page Author: BingusMaster Date of final release: 2020 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Castle Map (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 16, 2022 | 2574 characters      I'd like to preface this review by saying that, in the description the author of this map seems to be apologizing for making a map. I hope they continue making maps, because I truly think that, as a beginner mapper, BingusMaster shows great potential.      Castle Map is a short action offensive map wherein players swiftly overthrow a castle. The castle comes complete with a moat which traps the player until they commit suicide, some weird flag or something to the side of the castle with a canopy tarp wrapped around it. Attacking that triggers a grunt ambush to teleport i...

SCMapDB page Author: BingusMaster Date of final release: 2020 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Castle Map (originally posted on SCMapDB) by GrandmasterJ | January 16, 2022 | 3454 characters      When I read in the map description 'sorry for making another map' I just had to see what this map was all about. I played the author's only other (at the time that this was written) map on scmapdb Act of Bingus, the map description for that map promised it would be his last map. I've never played anything where the author was apologetic for making it up front like this.      The map starts off in front of a castle. The map design is very blocky and simplistic. The floor texture inside the castle does not look like it was made to be tiled, the whole thing was clearly a single te...

Act of Bingus - Dunkelschwamm

       In the map description the author promises this is the last map he'll ever make. I don't know what the story behind that is, but I just had to experience it for myself. SCMapDB page Author: BingusMaster Date of final release: 2020 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Act Of Bingus (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 16, 2021 | 2117 characters      Act of Bingus is a charming little arcadey map clearly made for a handful of gags that doesn't overstay its welcome. Two rival shops face one another. The players are given ludicrous weaponry right out the gate with very quickly respawning ammo for a great time. High HP enemies spawn in in waves to battle.      Two players running around hammering high HP enemies with SAWs containing way too much ammo is the most satisfying tedium can get, but tedious it does get before its short runtime is complete. Thanks in part to the overly simplistic arena layout, battling enemies...

SCMapDB page Author: BingusMaster Date of final release: 2020 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Act Of Bingus (originally posted on SCMapDB) by GrandmasterJ | January 16, 2022 | 2988 characters      I don't know why, but I had high hopes going into this map. It wasn't as good as I had hoped, but I will say it was better than my teammate thought it was going to be.      Players start in front of the Bingus store. I don't really know what a bingus is, but apparently it is some sort of meme. That's the problem with meme maps, the ever shifting meme landscape pushed this map into comedic irrelevancy fast. It also references an ancient meme from before the word meme was pushed into pop culture, my teammate had to explain it to me before I slowly realized that I had experienced...
