In this episode I talk to Skillsaw. With maps in BTSX 1 and 2 and a defining style of arcadey, fast-paced gameplay, Skillsaw has become one of the most beloved mappers in the Doom community, with wads like Ancient Aliens, Valiant, and Heartland to name a few.

We discuss the influence of Alien Vendetta and Scythe 2 on his early works, why slaughter mappers love Vanguard, the palette work of Alien Vendetta, and get into the details of his stylistic and gameplay choices.
