#133 Bauul (Elementalism) - In The Keep

In The Keep — Fri, 06 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Ben “Bauul” Mansell is the lead designer of Elementalism, a new mapset for Doom 2 featuring a “Who’s Who” cast of level designers and independent music composers. Originally spawning the ideas that later became 2019’s Cacoward winning Eviternity, Bauul carried on for 5 years to finally release this “spiritual ancestor”. We’re gonna spend a fair amount of time discussing “The Cube level” so buckle up. // Elementalism OST by Speedy: https://twitter.com/speedynoelle // Bauul: https://twitter.com/ben_mansell // Elementalism: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/100102 // https://www.moddb.com/mods/elementalism // In The Keep: https://inthekeep.com/ // 95YOUKpVXyZIcNkpAOro
