San Marino also dipped after their debut entry flopped. Over the next few years, the country will uphold their abysmal track record by amassing four consecutive DNQ's before permanently withdrawing again. Slovakia returns after a 9-year absence (in SF2). The former was denied two years in a row.

MAP07 is a huge, huge beast with incredible complexity and fascinating visuals that demonstrates a flow that is both entertaining and challenging. Finally, we finish with the great sage of the DBP's, Ol Billy, practically king when it comes to mapping for these projects. makes an interesting level with MAP06, a small yet tight tech/dungeon-base that follows a simple path of left then right, making use of purposeful backtracking and high enemy positioning. With a fascinating visual setup and some close-quarters encounters, this is a tough map that really encapsulates well the mood of a dungeon. MAP05 by is an interesting take into a complex yet intuitive map that follows lots of interconnected paths and re-opening areas, all while only making use of a few keys almost near the end of the map. MAP04 by is a lovely wooden base by the river that goes deep into tunnels and some secret rooms, creating a good atmosphere and lovely flow that never stops. leaves quite the mark with his MAP03, a secret base entrenched in the side of a mountain or maybe inside a cave, with redly colored tech and some outstanding combat areas, giving us quite the impression with some of the hardest fights in the WAD. With a simpler layout yet extremely intuitive progression, we dive in right into this WAD. MAP02 by C and bring a more down to earth approach into the scene, creating a darkly lit interior map with lots of caves and subterranean rivers alongside forgotten bases. Clear style of SuperCupcakeTactics and sincerely one of my favorites in this. Right from the start, with the fascinating map by we can find an excellent use of colors and styles that is contrasted with a more modern level design and architecture that seems quite reminiscent of trenches, or at least a rather cramped base. The maps make a combination of those gray and dark colors, going into the greenish of mold and the grey of stones, looking for a creepy scale that manages to combine perfectly with the style of each map while giving us a well-diversified and qualitative variety. In this case, this WAD has visuals that are very reminiscent of caves, deep dark caverns or places inspired by damp and cold dungeons. A dungeon of Doom, if you wish.В Umbral Platinum is an interesting example of a WAD that is small in quantity of levels but has fantastic quality maps that stand out for having a clear visual theme that evokes an excellent spirit of consistency and passion. After the more experimental, horror-like atmosphere that the previous DBP offered, it was now time to get into something different and a bit more traditional for the next project, or at least thatвЂ™s what I imagine, hence, Umbral Platinum was born, but unlike a simple traditional mapset, this one blends quite well different visual styles into a single conjoined set of solidly challenging and pretty looking maps that evoke perfectly well that feeling of dungeon crawl and darkness overwhelmed.
