It's time I start a brand new chapter in life...

[Omniplex]

It has been almost 10 years since I started the Doom mapping career and I haven't progressed much during those years, and something just keeps telling me that it's time to move on and begin a brand new chapter in life; like modern game design and development career along with concept art and illustrations. Temporary job as a logo designer is also applicable.

 

Sorry everyone but I broke the promise of making maps for Haunting Outbreak 2, it's just... it has been nearly ten years and I'm already about to turn 27 this June! I can't take it, I want to move on with my life. I'm very VERY sorry everyone, haven't been into this forum for even a month. I'm not saying this has been a discouraging experience, or that this community was trying to pull me down, DEFINITELY NOT. All members I've met here were really nice to me, don't get me wrong :) it's because of the time I've spent without progressing in my life, remaining in the same place for a very long time. Well I did progress a bit, but not much.

 

I know this is a very sad message for some of you, but there are so many things I still have to deal with in my life and so much more to learn. As a result of spending way to much time remaining in the same place and making doom maps (again for almost 10 years), I'm not that mature for my age... and I'm not independent for my age either. Still depending on my mother most of the time, *sigh* I need to clear my mind a bit so I can focus more on life related things, like maturing more and finally being more independent, and to stop acting in a dramatic way.

 

I'm not saying that I'm childish either, but sometimes I do act like a child, and this is something I despise. No more remaining in the same place, the 10 bad years I lived through WILL come to an end, my life really needs to change. For all those who appreciated my first and only doom WAD: Thank you, keep going, keep mapping and never give up! The Doom community will live on, and I wish good luck to ID Software and to all of you!

 

Farewell,

      Omniplex.

So long, dude, and good luck out there with whatever it is you decide to do next.

Sad to see you go, and although I don't want you to go, thanks for at least leaving a message before going away. Farewell!

[Doom_Dude]

Take care and good luck with your next chapter. :)

Keep moving forward, man. The fact that you worked for 8 years on a megawad for an almost 30 year old game shows that you have passion for things you’re interested in.  You’ll do well if you apply that same passion into a career.

Very positive words I'm seeing here! Thank you guys, and yes it has been enjoyable making those maps from before. There are many more things, ahead. I surely think you guys also have more things ahead that can make your lives better. Even though my stay in this forum was super brief, at least I still made contributions haha XD.

 

To at least lengthen my stay here for a bit, I can show you the other works I have made with the use of Illustrator and Photoshop, most of them from scratch like literally from scratch: detailing, shadows and everything else. It's concept art and illustrations basically :)

You do not think you can continue mapping for Doom in your spare time?

[Omniplex]

Well, right now I'm overwhelmed with thoughts about what to do in life at the moment. So many other things I need to learn, but yes I can just make some doom maps in my free time, but with a fresh new start (brand new maps, and with up-to-date engines).

Best of luck in your future endeavors dude 🦊.

[ketmar]

good luck! and don't worry, if you'll ever decide to return, Doom will still be here. nobody can imagine the world where Doom doesn't exist anymore. so take your time, do what you feel best for you, and if you'll ever decide to revisit "That Old Game I Played Years Ago", you're welcome! ;-)

Turns out I have a lot of spare time at the moment, and I am thinking about my second megawad a ton and I can't get it out of my head...

Alright, here is the plan. I am going to make an announcement regarding the beta testing of the said megawad to check for any errors and improvement regarding the game play and design, maybe one day I can get rid of it from my PC. :p

Even when the other 19 untested maps are done, I can sort of like start making completely new maps with more complex designs and better gameplay along with varied use of secret sectors. In the announcement, I am going to offer you freedom of choice; weather if you want to beta-test the unfinished WAD or not because I know you have more important things in your lives. It is perfectly fine if you say no :)
