saw a thread about MLFD2TWID and PERDITIONS GATE TWID, didnt want to throw my post away since the thread got helled. i feel this community is wasting tons of potential by making maps with dated design so here we go:
oh ffs
DTWID
D2TWID
FDTWID
MLFD2TWID
PLUTONIA 2
PLUTONIA REVISITED COMMUNITY PROJECT
TNT REVILUTION (or tnt2 idk)
KDIZD
THE SHORES OF ZDOOM
D2INO
Thats just on top of my head. I guess we have enough wads inspired in the original design (and some of them praised for cloning a dated design). Make an effort at exercising your creativity, which happens to be the main benefit of mapping (and other arts). Seriously, you guys don't have excuses considering the wide range of possibilities of limit removing source-ports, let alone others like edge, boom, zdoom and doomsday. and sorry, someone had to point out this special kind of cancer plaguing the mapping community (again).
You like the original design? Fine, play the original maps.

If you could kindly call someone up to the stand to testify against the TWiD ideal, citing damage to their ability to design levels, then the discussion might get more interesting.
I didn't imply that, and I doubt TWID projects could damage ones ability to map. But if the point of it is to study the styles of every IWAD made, then I don't have much to bring up to the table, since the driving factor is not popularity.
Whatever, good luck.

On that note, what the fuck do half of those projects even have to do with mimicking old design? Have you even played them?
yeah i was wrong by mentioning the zdoom ones and d2ino, but the rest does exactly that. and if i dont "voice" my concern, it doesnt get known and there are more chances of having more of this thing being made. sorry but playing maps arent like visiting the sites, where they put a counter for every visit.
tons of good mappers throwing their potential in the trash by making trash maps with dated design. its something that kinda kills me from inside.
really, this shit was done at least two times, and people insist on doing it for a third time http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/67447-final-doom-the-way-id-did/

I don't blog often. When I do it's usually negative (although I'd like to think it's not quite the pages of unjustifiable/teenaged angst some blogs are) and this one is no exception :D
I've got an office job. Specifically I'm a Management Information Analyst/Developer (see, it doesn't even sound interesting). I've been here for about 5 months and, before I got made redundant at the start of April, I had an MI Analyst role at a different company for about 15 months before this one. It is mind-numbingly boring. So boring I'm in fact blogging about it just to relieve the boredom for a couple of minutes. So boring, in fact, that I've muddled through some of the hideous crap other people have blogged in the last 2-3 pages, despite being painfully disinterested in what they had to say and actually kind of angry/despairing by turns.
I'd do something about it if I hadn't just gotten the job this year. In fact, when my contractual obligations dry up (I believe my rather nice studio flat in central Liverpool is anchoring me in place until mid-2014) I intend to get back on the job market and find a job I don't hate. For balance, I like living in Liverpool and being near to my mates in the North West is fantastic, so compared to my previous job (where I lived in a retirement village in the arse-end of nowhere, just outside Cambridge) this is definitely an improvement in overall life. The money is also pretty awesome, given I'm 23, although I think I may actually be slightly poorer in terms of disposable income due to renting a flat rather than sub-letting (like I was in my last job), or mooching off my dad, which I'm loathe to do as he's definitely supported me enough by now!
So, who else doesn't like their job? What, if given to idle fantasy, would you rather be doing? Personally, I think I just strongly dislike all work, but I kind of want to do something physical... I keep thinking Army, much as my mum would rather I didn't. If I had one of those lottery wins (which would be a shock, given I buy no tickets!) I'd definitely never work another day in my life and embark on a wonderful adventure around the world that would probably end very ignobly.-
Well office work are pretty boring, and also seems to attract shitstorm here and there, lol. Until the day you get thousands* of requests to be done in a week or less.
Being a teacher is a lot more interesting, IMO, somewhat stressful but at least keeps my brain far from unworthy shit.
* Logic fags please, it's an arbitrary value.
