Remember when...(fixed)

Recommended Posts

I was asking about how people remember the maps, when Darkstalker posed another question, does anyone remember their first maps? Well I don't really nor do i have it, but it got me onto something else...did anyone ever design a TC on paper...you know like doodling, well I did- before i knew what one was..

I thought these might be amusing, does anyone else have some of these? I'd love to see them...why? for nostalgia's sake and cause it's DOOM, of course.

My TC designs

Notice my name on this one, these are all from years ago. Complete with screens showing my weapons and baddies, very rough

The podgun, more recent

One of the first two factions for my game

Second of the two, these are the bad guys, the blobs in the corner are aerial views of people

just some guns, the middle two are my fav and the only ones first thought of in my head.

More recent, the 3rd rifle is a piece of crap, but tell me what you think of the other ones

Here's some of my earlier maps, these 2 short levels were re-drawn from doodles on notepads i used at the hotel- told you i was doom obsessed...these are also years and years ago.

(the things and placement on all my maps sorely need revising).


These one's are also old, and now I can't remember much about them, sector levels, tags etc. :(

This one's old too but i remember it well, it's inspired by the chasm at one part, i bet you can tell just from the map...one of my better constructed maps IMHO but that remains to be seen...

This one I did- as I started thinking about Doom again, which is what led me to this site! It's done E1 style.

this one around same time.

These ones i did after discovering doomworld, as you can see by the name of the 1st one, it's just a giant staircase- an idea i've had for a while.

Finally two i did very recently, which i think are more thought out. It's yet ANOTHER (as if there weren't enough already) nukage plant and prison..in that order.

Holy Crap! I have enough to make a small wad. Would anyone like to see me try and make these old doodles into real levels? . only then can you tell if they are any good.If you want to see full-size versions i can e-mail them to you...I didn't realize you wouldn't be able to see things and such.

none of your links will let me in. Keeps saying forbidden. Where exactly are they uploaded to?

intresting Xanthier.

I have LOADS of flats & sprites from TCs I started with people a few years ago, but never finished - I often look at them from time to time with fond memories.

My first map is here. It really sucks, and my second one is much, much, much better. The third map I've made is this one. I have no idea why Ty put it in the doom2/ports directory when it's a Doom level that will run in vanilla doom.

As for drawing, it's a funny thing you brought that up. Ever since I started seeing other user levels, I dreamed of making my own maps, but the only editor I had ever bought (DCK) wouldn't work so I was stuck with mapping things out. I made hundreds of maps over the years until I finally got off my ass and stole WA from some poor sap and began actually making my own levels at the beginning of this year.

I only ever scanned two maps, here, and here.

I was always stuck with Doomcad years ago. My friend saw it in a magazine entitled 'Doom level editor' and paid something like £5 for it. Anyway, he told me about the possibility of making your own doom levels, so every friday i would go to his house and spend the whole weekend trying to figure out how to work Doomcad. Unfortunatley, almost everything we ever tried to make would always be filled with bugs and thus never work - plus doomcad was full of bugs and would crash cosntantly.

A similar thing happened when I started playing custom wads. I was lucky enough to find Waterfront (one of my favourite single maps of all time) very early on, and after playing that I came up with all sorts of ideas, which were buried until I got WA, made my first wad (see sig) and then decided to dig up those ideas, and my megawad was born. And the rest (they say) is history.
