Shores of ZDoom?

Will there be a sequel to KDIZD?

I'm just curious.

This has been answered about a million times.

Probably not.

I wouldn't mind seeing that happening, the shores of Gzdoom sounds much better :p

Ze Shores of Hell, where everyone speaks French :P

I wouldn't mind seeing this happen. Heck, I might even lend my hand. :p

What about Doom II: Hell on ZDoom?

Is in progress.

as is Doom II: Hell on Eternity Engine.

...not the real title. :|

O RLY?

I'd love to see it. Shores Of Hell is my favorite episode.
So much nostalgia to it.

I've read that the three remaining episodes of Doom weren't likely to be reimagined due to copyright issues, so why is it okay to reinterpret Doom 2?

They are unlikely to be done due to lack of manpower.

Not to be confused with "Doom Z: Hell on ZDoom" ;-)

@GoatLord: I never heard it's prohibited making new maps/episodes that *look like* the original ones, and in fact there are multiple "episode replacements" or "reintepretations" especially of Doom 1's episodes (all three), mostly because the majority of the Doom community feels the original Doom levels were much, much better than Doom 2's. What IS prohibited, is using any of the original levels (even E1 ones) as a base for modification (as a result, "masterpieces" like DMINATOR.WAD or pre-BSP E1M1 modifications can no longer be found on official idgames mirrors).

There's no copyright issues with remaking the other episodes or games similar to what was done with KDIZD.

If that's the case, why not try to ask forum lurkers to draw maps either on paper or actually, and send them to you (the real team) to finish them? It could save a fraction of time... And time spent on graphics and sprites would be significantly less than for KDiZD (Z1) too.

Dunno your objectives, but a revamped babel-tower, mystery-fortress, Cyberdemon, Spiderdemon would shake the community somewhat. KDiZD is a dream come true, after all it has shown -- map motifs, detail, monsters, expansions, continuity, e1-style encounters --, I admit it's true... Whatever I had imagined would appear in a Doom 1 mod, HAS appeared here, so... please don't listen to those who still have got the tainted impression that detail kills gameplay and makes all rooms look equal...WHICH IS WRONG. Gameplay depends solely on the skill and time of the designer.

And a lot of the assets from KDIZD (new sprites, weps, codes) could be carried over in sequel fashion, so it wouldn't entirely have to be built from the ground up; i think.

Oh, really? At me looks stucked from the last time i've entered to see the progress...

That can be done - but what delayed KDiZD for so long was that nearly all mappers jumped ship so at the end there was one person left to finish the maps.

Oh, yeah I know how that goes :P

I'm interested in seeing an updated version of the Icon of Sin. :D

There's Flashback for those who want more episodes.

And there's one or two upgrade mods being made for Doom2 aswell.

We have our own forum now the thread on zdoom forums is not being used by us no more.

Heh, Shores of Zdoom sure would be interesting, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

There's also Mordeth -- http://mordeth.doomworld.com/ . Unlike KDiZD 2, it's real, and it'll be for Eternity, yay. :D Another long-time project, longer maybe even than KDiZD.

Heh. Much, much, much longer than KDIZD.

Funny thing there's already a zdoomwiki article, written by someone who has worked on KDiZD. http://zdoom.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Shores_of_ZDoom {edit: link changed to actual article}

Hopes?

I'd prefer an original new project. With a team capable of making nice maps and new sprites im sure it's possible.

I personally won't play any major role. KDIZD was fun, but I'd rather do more original work now instead of more reinterpretation. That said, I'll probably get sucked into doing another INTERMAP if the rest of the project does get off the ground.

If a child had been born on the day Mordeth episode 2 was announced it would be awaiting it's first year at secondary school now...

On the other hand, does anybody have a release date for Securitron 3?
