The enticement of one more square, one more room, one more corridor is what turns midnight to 03:30 in what seems like seconds. But purposeless as they are, I wouldn't dream of not making them. Not myself in the unlikely event that I ever play this game a second time, I'll almost certainly throw away the maps and create them anew. Why do I need to know that this square had a treasure chest when I've already opened it and I'll never be coming back? Who am I making these maps for, exactly? Not you there are already dozens of examples of the maps online, probably more accurate than I'm making. I love drawing walls and annotating squares, even though I know I'm recording all this detail for no one. There's something enormously satisfying about my mapping process. I love the immersive, realistic near-simulation dungeons that Ultima Underworld introduced. Eager players finding Darkmoon under the 1991 Christmas tree don't know it, but we're simultaneously at the apex and end of an era. Any serious developer is going to quickly jettison discrete movement in 10-foot blocks with only four facing positions. But after Ultima Underworld (and Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM on the action side), no one's going to be complimenting "wall textures" anymore. A whole bunch of them are in the pipeline right now and will be released in 1992, including Might and Magic IV, Wizardry VII, and The Dark Queen of Krynn. We'll still be looking at tile-based games in abstract dungeons into the mid-1990s at least. The genre didn't die immediately, of course. I don't want to spoil my opening paragraphs for Underworld, but let's just say that it loudly sounded the death knell for the very sort of the game that Darkmoon represents.
