Master Levels for Doom II was rough. Too many key areas/items/switches needed for level progression hidden behind secrets IMO. "Black tower" and "Mephisto's Mausoleum" do stand out however as excellent maps.

When using arrays of resources/bindless, it's worth paying attention to index divergence. Even if using thread divergent indices, the compiler will use the index from the first active thread to access a resource, for all threads in the wave, which can cause hard to find bugs 1/3
