Got roasted on a Doom forum for my 'lighting' in a map, so I redid all 12 rooms
About 3 months ago I put up a WAD with 12 rooms and a guy replied with just 'flat light everywhere, my eyes are bored.' Hurt at first, but he was right, every sector had the same 192 brightness and it looked like a gray box. I sat down with a copy of Doom Builder and spent two nights learning how to do brightness contrast and light bands. Now I test every map in real darkness before I upload it. Anybody got a rule of thumb for how much contrast is too much before it turns into a strobe fest?

Flat light is fine, the map layout matters way more than fancy shadows.
