BBQgiraffe Posted September 20, 2019 I personally like to replace the texture of an unused object with a low res picture of my cat and place it in a hidden room. 4 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I have a few in one of my upcoming projects (I just don't want to say what those Easter Eggs may be). Edited September 21, 2019 by Doom_Dude 2 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Haven't in my Doom WADs yet, but I know I would in some PC stuff (because all my work up until now is technically conversions of stuff to PSX Doom). I do remember doing that during my UT2004 mapping days though. For example, in one map, I made a joke texture for the zone portals, with a picture of a friend's avatar with a "no" circle/line covering it, and a comment that said friend sucked. You'd never, ever see it in-game (because such zone portal texturing existed solely to delineate zone portals in the editor/engine), but all you'd have to do is load the map in UnrealEd and it'd be immediately visible, clear as day. 2 Share this post Link to post
galileo31dos01 Posted September 21, 2019 In my only solo map yes, it was an exercise in using the wolf3d textures without any resemblance to that game, plus a little inoffensive joke for people's amusement. I personally find easter eggs that add humor and/or cuteness very appealing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chris Hansen Posted September 21, 2019 Hmm, maybe once or twice. I know I put my initials in High/low 3. Nothing special. But I do appreciate when people go the extra lenght to put in something cute or interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted September 21, 2019 Hmm, now that you mention the initials thing Chris, I did place health potions spelling out my last name in my first megawad but those were out in the open. 0 Share this post Link to post
yakfak Posted September 21, 2019 in my past WADs there's - a comedy version of Dead Simple where the switches around the outside turn off the lights in the arena - pallas cats - elon musk looking smug; mac tonight looking smug - attacks on various companies - many various hidden words - many unmarked secrets - many inexplicable zones that might be puzzles or might just be incidental stuff once i'm dead maybe more people will discover some of them lol 4 Share this post Link to post
pcorf Posted September 22, 2019 Although Easter is more than half a year away. Yes I love putting Easter eggs into my maps. There are several in Doomed Space Wars including a Super Mario bros 3 area in one of the maps. Also Whispers of Satan has a few too, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post
Optimus Posted September 22, 2019 I love finding easter eggs in Doom WADs I play. It's a special moment that breaks the monotony of a map. I think I put once in my map Real.wad a secret with the demoscene raster bars I used much later on Doomonstration.wad 2 Share this post Link to post
Walter confetti Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) IWAD references (is my trademark) Gachimuchi joke in a secret room in my map for DMP 2013 Most probably, many other wads have some kind of Easter Egg, hidden or in plain sight 0 Share this post Link to post
Empyre Posted September 23, 2019 In Empyrion, starting with the fourth map, all the maps have an Easter egg with 2 soul spheres, blue armor, and all of the weapons, but they are designed not to be found. If you manage to find your way into one of those without me showing you how to get in (and without noclip), congratulations! You have truly earned the goodies within. 0 Share this post Link to post

As for me, almost every map I've made since 2014 has an easter egg/joke in there somewhere. It's a neat little thing to do, sometimes it's poking fun at someone, sometimes it's changing the map a bit, sometimes just a small joke, probably the most meaningful one is a tribute to the late DemonSphere (RIP). 2 Share this post Link to post
DynamiteKaitorn Posted September 24, 2019 The only time I've ever added an "Easter egg" inside of my DooM wads was the Dynamite pony Easter eggs hidden among most of the levels in TMoD episode 0, my very first ever wad I released here on DooMWorld (well technically tied first but TMoD EP. 0 was made first >_>). I will be adding a few silly jokes/hidden secrets inside of the newest TMoD 3D project I'm working on... though that'll be AFTER I've finished the maps. 1 Share this post Link to post
