There's more information about this hold in architecture forum.
This is the final release until some new problems appear...

Well, gds found a whole lot of problems with this hold. :?

I should be updating this hold but then everyone has to start all over. That could be solved with a warp room but I can't remove the file in first post by admin.

Go into your profile, click on "My Holds" and you can submit a new version of your hold from there.

A restriction on that is that you cannot add or remove rooms; same number of rooms in the same places, but you can change whatever you want within the rooms.

This is why we don't submit holds to the Holds forum until they've been fully tested in Architecture first.

Game on,

Well, I'm quite sure that I don't make the same mistakes twice.
Next time i'll test it completely. And next time, I might not make so many mistakes after all.

And those problems are fixed. Download the new version and warp to the room you were in.

It's bug with stairs... The stairs end the hold now. It's the last level though, so you didn't miss a lot.

I hadn't played this hold until recently, and I enjoyed it very much. Not too hard, but definitely some entertaining puzzles. I was surprised it only had 4 votes after mine was cast...c'mon people, vote more!

Game on,

I played the entire hold and found no bugs.

It is a good size hold filled with average difficulty puzzles.

Well done.

I gave the hold an eight: fun, but it lacks polish somewhat - but it *was* Doom's first. Recommended, especially for the later levels.

Just played this one. Some good puzzles, no really bad or tedious ones. All in all, a lot of fun.

I give it an 8, with 6 brains of difficulty.

Was recommended this one when looking for a good but not too hard dungeon. So far (level 4) I'm impressed. I give it a 8 for fun and a 5 for difficulty, and would recommend it to anyone who's finding the top-rated holds to be... a little difficult!

And done. Not changed my rating - this is a good solid Architect's Edition dungeon with entertaining puzzles. A few tedious rooms but they fitted well in the theme.

A fun hold. It's a bit easier than I was expecting given the architect's reputation, but this is Doom's first hold, so I'm sure the difficulty will go up in later ones. I actually found the difficulty curve to be backwards; the earlier levels gave me more trouble than the later ones.

Every level has a consistent theme and aesthetic, which is nice, and there are some unique puzzles here as well. Definitely worth playing through.
