Paul DeBruyne (skillsaw)

Paul DeBruyne, also known as skillsaw and, formerly, Maduin, is an American level designer. He is one of the most acclaimed mappers in Doom history, winning five Cacowards for his projects: both Vanguard and Lunatic in 2011, Valiant in 2015, Ancient Aliens in 2016, and Heartland in 2021. In 2011, he was named "Mapper of the Year". He has also created maps for several team projects.

DeBruyne's mapping style was heavily influenced by Erik Alm's Scythe series. An article on the history of Doom mapping stated: "Vanguard and Lunatic saw refinements on the episodic formula and streamlined combat of Scythe 2, but it was Valiant that seemed to reach the highest heights of what a modern Boom megawad could achieve. Skillsaw took everything that was stylistically great about Scythe 2 and dialed it up to eleven, while also making it even more fun and accessible for the typical Doom player."
