joe-ilya Posted January 17, 2014 I often see and make themes, and I just want to see some creativity about some unusual themes no-one ever came up with.

Scypek2 Posted January 17, 2014 Well, I made wild west and flying city (aka Bioshock Infinite) themed maps :D. Also some hellish version of soccer and a mostly crate-themed map. All this in WOOO.wad starting from map11 or so. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zed Posted January 18, 2014 I recall seeing a couple of wads with stadiums, but can't remember names. Also, Circus theme. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted January 18, 2014 Snow/Christmas has been missed off that initial list as obvious ones. "Moving vehicle" seems to be a rare one that I've seen a few times too. TUD likes to do boats, Enjay has his famous Train, Action Doom 2 has a subway and there's been a few other boats and trains, plus space ships and miscellanea over the years. The extra generic "techbase" theme and it's variants probably need to be mentioned explicitly too :P Void, VR and retro are also themes that turn up often enough to be noted. 0 Share this post Link to post

I suppose you could just borrow resources from SRB2 at this point, it has some ripped art assets for both. joe-ilya said:Commander keen Spoiler Doom 2 the Way id Did, MAP31/32 That said, I'd love to see some of these done more often. 0 Share this post Link to post
Superluigieth1 Posted January 18, 2014 Here's a theme 2001: a space theme. and 1337. 0 Share this post Link to post
Acid Posted January 18, 2014 I daresay that every theme you listed (sans 1334) has been done before, and that a decent amount of people have already turned them into maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

I will put the themes you all said into the list! :) I know all the themes I listed exist in other I/Pwads, but that's the point: List every theme possible, it's like a small game for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

purist Posted January 18, 2014 There's loads of different map themes in the archive but what about episode themes? In most megawads you are only likely to see episodes themed as space station, earth base, city and Hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted January 18, 2014 Look for a 1994 megawad and you'll something... completely different: You'll see the 1994 theme or maybe even the1337 one (as found in jokewads) 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted January 18, 2014 I would describe those as failures to execute a convincing theme - either purposely or not. Themeless episodes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doominator2 Posted January 18, 2014 I was Planning on making an Arena Fighting Base Wad but then I just realized it would be like a deathmatch with monsters. 0 Share this post Link to post

Deleted_Account Posted January 19, 2014 I have a question about one of the Lovecraft themed wads, speciically Beyond Kadath. The music that plays during the level, where is that from exactly? I've heard it in wads and various media. 0 Share this post Link to post
