Black Void Posted December 23, 2002 Hello fellow doomers- As of late, something's been going on - I almost feel as if I'm losing the will to even play doom, nevermind edit it. Do I need inspiration or motivation? Perhaps... Ah, the times pass and pass, I don't know exactly why I feel this way, but if somebody doesn't stop me, I'm quitting doom - period. Happy Holidays, -Black Void 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted December 23, 2002 My advice: Take a several months break from Doom - play something else in this time. I'm sure that at one point you will feel like playing Doom again. I know it works for me - I have a few periods where I don't feel like playing Doom and therefore I play everything else until I feel like firing up good ol' Doom again and then I'm blown away, realizing that I had forgotten how cool Doom is. It never fails - at least not with me. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted December 23, 2002 You've just played a great ZDoom episode...if that can't inspire you to keep DooMing (and to finish your CC map - you are going to finish that, aren't you?), I don't know what can... edit: dsm's right as well - I've played nothing but DooM since I started making my ZDoom wad, but I'm playing Unreal now, and I'm glad for it, as it feels refreshing to play something different, and I shall be ready to start my next ZDoom project in the New Year. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted December 23, 2002 I used SLIGE + JDoom to keep the replayability level up. Try the megawads like Hell Revealed and Requiem, they'll keep you busy. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted December 24, 2002 I agree with dsm, take a break. You'll probably find after a month you're itching to play again, I do after just a week or two normally. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted December 24, 2002 I generally find that playing some 1337 new game renews my enthusiasm for Doom very quickly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted December 24, 2002 Maybe your brain needs repairing. I've been playing/editing the game for years, i've found without it my reality begins to crumble and i can't function. The only adice i can give is to take a little break. I find playing Doom on another platform helps my creativity, like Sega Saturn. 0 Share this post Link to post
elbryan42 Posted December 24, 2002 2 solutions: -Take a break, and play another great game, like Metroid Prime. -Play a really great wad that's an all out rush to play. Alien Vandetta always gets me in the mood to play Doom. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted December 24, 2002 yea it happens, take a break. in time u will return to doom 0 Share this post Link to post
Black Void Posted December 24, 2002 Well - I'm probably going to finish up my CC map during Christmas break and then I'll be back in the doom community 2 months after that - only problem with doing that, is I'll be behind in the editing system; my maps will become crap and I won't know the modern source port tricks - ah well - maybe I just need this vacation... Edit - Thanks all, who have given me good advice. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted December 24, 2002 As has been stated, go play a new game when Doom doesn't turn you on anymore, you will feel the urge to play it pretty soon. I've been playing Quake here as of late, and strangely I feel like playing Doom again. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted December 25, 2002 I'd say listen to everyone's advice, but I think that's already been established. Giving Doom a break is a good idea, then about a few days/weeks later, you'll be coming back for Doom, trust me. :p 0 Share this post Link to post

Perhaps if that dont tickle your fancy, then try taking a break from it like suggested, I myself havent tried it, but thats cause I cant get bored of Doom, even if I tried, which I wont. :D BigBadGangsta said:/me glares at gatewatcher What did Julian tell you?
