NerdKoopa Posted February 27, 2013 My first Doom 2 map is now finally somewhat complete! Herbtech is a single level set in a facility dedicated to the research and development of genetically manipulated plants. Abandoned due to the demon invasion, it's slowly being consumed by a rogue experimental plant. You simply need to survive through it! This is the first time I've made custom textures for any game. I wanted the level to have a very unique appearance. The looks are inspired mainly by old computer mainframes from the 60's and 70's. I simply gave them a retro-futuristic spin. The very non-Doom look of this thing is probably gonna divide opinions, but this is what I wanted. You are allowed to use the custom textures in your projects, as long as you give credit! Herbtech.wad is now in /newstuff, but here's an alternate download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?5ndpw0n4472avp9 Now for some screenshots. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted February 27, 2013 I enjoyed playing through this, and the new graphics are a nice touch. The secret plant was a cool reference too, overall this gets a solid 4/5 from me. Competent design and smooth gameplay. I'd love to see more in time! 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted February 27, 2013 I think I remember seeing this a while ago. :D I really love the visual style, and how it seems to work in a weird sort of way with Doom's texture set. Great little map, if a bit short. Loved all the secrets. :) Is there anything else planned for this project? 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted February 27, 2013 There was what appeared to be a texture problem that I was about to notify you of until I realized it was intentional, lol. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted February 27, 2013 The look reminds me a bit of mall.wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted February 27, 2013 Ribbiks said:what port? ZDoom. I've just tried to run it in Eternity and encountered some strange bugs and oddities with its behavior (of the "this door won't open unless I change some compatibility setting, but then the entire level collapses in a pile of HOMs" variety), so there are probably some "ZDoomisms" in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 28, 2013 Only one map? What a shame. This is amazing! :) Cute graphics and simple-but-nice gameplay (because beauty is in simplicity, how one proverb says). I especially praise the secret. You know, that secret :D. The soulsphere one. Hey NerdKoopa, good job there ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
