Post your Doom picture! [post in Part 2 instead]

@Kaiser: I like the textures. They fit well with Doom64.

Now, YET MORE CITY:

I'm thinking of ditching the fake pixelation on the billboard. It looks weird except when looking at it straight on:

Nice. Reminds me that I haven't played a good city map in ages. Will have to look some up from idgames.

The billboard looks kind of strange regardless of pixelation, out of place next to the game textures. Now, if you were to recreate the scene in Doom and use a screenshot of that....

[Marcaek]

That actually looks like a pretty good "realistic" city.

[The_MártonJános]

Fiend, you're really keen on some sort of "Nightlife" :P

Anyone want to guess what these babies do? :)









annnnd here's another quick little spoiler on an upcoming weapon:

Gravity map2... its such a beauty

[Sporku]

That is a deceptively poor angle for that screenshot Verstandlich... What have you got to hide?! Looks pretty impressive regardless.

Nothing I guess, this is a wad from Eternal that got a Cacoward a few years ago AgentSpork ;-)

...because every weapon set should have rockets that heal monsters...

Well they probably don't do that, but that is what they look like they do. Nice shading on the white/gray areas of the sprites anyway.

Which one? O_O

Instead of trying to design an actual level with some kind of mapping rules, intended progression or real vision behind it, I've taken an approach of simply drawing whatever shapes my mind comes up with, and then lowing or raising floor/ceiling heights as I see fit.

Tried that, but didn't get too far with it. Ended up scrapping it because it simply made no sense to me afterwards.

You need to do it steadily.

Gravity. Sorry for the delay I didn't see your post.

This sounds like such a great way to avoid making maps full of square rooms and rectangular hallways.

I am gonna mess with this method for my D2TWID map submission.

Usually I start with a theme and then draw random shapes until something cohesive is born. The result has been a lot of asymmetry and lack of visual redundancy. It's a great approach, if you ask me :P

Ridiculously WIP layout I've been kicking around the past couple nights. Still not even sure how much I like it. Works in vanilla.

Pictures from a ZDaemon Survival WAD, LA-Spacestaion. These city levels are the most amazing one I've ever seen in Doom.

Probably, the pictures don't make sense, but you can believe me: some of the levels in LA-Spacestation have great atmosphere.

I recently did a reskin of the rocket to look white with red stripes myself. :P

Medical rockets?

Back in my day, we healed people by hitting them in a face with an axe rocket!

Rockets for the Red Cross army?

Careful, that arm will appear cut off on wide-screen displays.

My decorate isn't up to par, so these sprites will be 100% feel-free-to-edit-it-yourselves type of thing.

Ahh shit, widescreen problems. I only ever play 4:3, so widescreen modding was something I never picked up.

Work in progress, but I think I did it well already.

Yeah, Kaiser has done an excellent job so far on the EX version of Doom 64. I've been playing through the stages and the game-play feels spot-on as well as all the custom events that the Doom 64 TC could not imitate. I've been helping out on trying to get the music tracks properly executed as they are on the console. I'd say accuracy is about 90% on the music right now (some midi events not happening in exactly the same way).

Anyway, a few of the stages are missing the sky box textures, but his next release will have that fixed from what I hear.
