Hell's Eye Doom - First (new) screenshots

As it happens with me often, I have an idea - again. :)

I was about 14, when I started to interest about Doom, because after 2 years of pause I got Final Doom again. (it was the only WAD I've known, Doom 1 was even eariler experience)

In those ages, I got the modification WADs too (firstly Eternal Doom and Hell Revealed) and then I got my first WAD ideas.

This WAD was a very custom idea with a lot of special modification. I thought this project is impossible... I didn't know ZDoom yet, but today I know: it might be possible!

But I abandoned the idea itself. The only memories I've had are the maps and the map concepts. They were solid and simple like the classic WADs that I've known 3-4 years ago.

And I think, now it's time to become the imagine to reality!

(Story doesn't matter. There'll be lots of level styles.)

I'll map for it, what kind of special features are you thinking of though that require Zdoom etc?

So your idea is a bunch of map names?

Doesn't matter. It's my own idea and I wouldn't be happy if somebody else will do it.

Damn >.> No! But I don't have screenshots yet.

Oh I thought you were asking for other people to join in

No, it'll be a Boom compatible WAD with the original map ideas, without the ZDoom ideas =)

I started mapping but I need your help! I'm not good at texture making, but I want to use sky textures so please help!

I need 3 skies (repaintings only):

- for episode 1: blue/purple repainting of the Doom 1 episode 4 sky
- for episode 2: white re-painting of the Doom 2 episode 1 sky
- for episode 3: red repainting of the Doom 2 episode 2 sky

thanks for your help =)

It's easy to recolor images with Gimpshop or a similar program.

Yes, since I got the textures. A friend helped me :D

Well the map names ain't bad, I wish you luck in your projects in general, you seem like you have potential to be up there with the best if you keep at it. Starting with less is probably better but a man of big ideas isn't necessarily bad either, just make sure you enjoy working on them.

Sounds pretty interesting. I can help with music on this as well, I just hope this dang cold or whatever will go away soon. It's been keeping me away from music D: But I wish you the best of luck with all your projects. I have several myself, I think it's good to have different ones so you can change your focus if you get tired of something.

CC4, Top Secrets of UAC, Katamori 1024, and Progressive Fiction aren't enough projects to work on? :p

Still, those shots look pretty nice. I think the tiled doors look too amateurish, though.

Most of these projects are paused, or abandoned for a short time.

.

Likewise, it sounds like you're overburdening yourself with projects as Vaporizer has said. Relax on it.

*Start 32 projects
*Make 1 map for each project
*You got megawad! :D

Looking forward to the finished final version.

I don't know what will I do now...

Here's what I would suggest Katamori.

You should just split the wad into various parts that will be released.
For example part 1 would have map01-map05. Last part would have maps map30-32.

Imagine this, you finish first 5 maps, let people bugtest and release it as Hell's Eye Part 1. Then you keep repeating the process UNTIL you reach all 32 maps then release an even-more bugfixed version. And call it Hell's Eye Complete Edition.

You should try, guarantees more that maps will get done.

And sell the later segments as DLC ;)

True though a megawad is a daunting task I've tried twice and given up.

Needless to say this won't be finished...

I have no problem with the mapping now. Only there happened some things in my life and now I can't continue any Doom maps. Maybe later.

Doesn't matter. I'll try.

After 1 month of pause, I restarted this idea. New screenshot in the first post. Hope you like it.
