Hello MrNeigh here, I leave here a couple of ideas / themes for future dbp's or projects that I consider original or little seen in the community. Since I don't know how to make maps, I'm learning a bit for now, I want to leave my thoughts here in case it is eventually taken as themes for future dbps. Rural Horror: I have thought hard about this one and have seen that there are ideal textures for it, maps based or inspired by night of the living dead, you know, cornfields, forgotten cabins in the woods, swamps, farms, something similar in style to the map04 of morbid autumn (at least the rural part of it) or the episode 1 of dusk, I suppose that if you put a parody of night of the living dead in the story it would be the right thing for this, where instead of zombies and supernatural things, this can be the demons of doom that we all love and know. Perhaps it is the most likely to choose (if one is chosen) since in the last dbp's we have something from the old west (dbp30), a sunny Christmas (dbp31) and I suppose that returning with a dark atmosphere is something that could be good. City in the night: 40oz said that he has textures for this theme and it is something that I like since a city full of neons and things who can not like it? I imagine something similar to dbp10 and since Earth Ends was done 20 dbps ago, I think it would be special to take it. As for maps, I imagine maps based on the map04 of dbp10, somewhat narrow but totally decorated, or the typical streets with buildings where you can enter and start your demon hunt  in my mind this theme it's inspired on those old Street of Rage games, on those streets full of neon, enemies and fun things to see and with a great variety of levels (again, it wouldn't matter too much if you use the typical demons of doom) Heaven: Has no one combined heaven with hell in doom? I can imagine a mini story to put in perspective, a cliché story, like an invasion from hell to heaven, the first maps can be based on pure heaven and paradise and progressively turn into hell, the last map being a battle against an infernal boss in a heaven totally corrupted by hell, while the credits map is that happy ending where everything returns to normal. There are a couple of inspirations for it, the final episode of Eviternity comes to mind or sadly I must say, the part of the sky in Grezzo 2. Duke Nukem in Mars: Well this one is self explanatory, but basically my idea is to base the style of duke nukem, you know, women, casinos, clubs, money, alcohol, just mix it with mars just like las vegas is I would have founded on Mars or something. I have not seen such a concept and I find it interesting, something radically different from any other dbp as well. In case you have enough of Mars (dbp01, dbp21, or both red) maybe the moon is another good place to do Las Vegas! Futuristic outskirts: Many will know tatooine from star wars, I orient this idea a bit to this one, few constructions of pure metal and rust, desert canyons full of dangerous creatures, desolate environments or even abandoned bases. Not much to say, except for the theme part, as it is self explanatory. And finally, as I have seen that in several previous dbps they have been based on musical bands, maybe this will be useful to you. A theme based on places in the south of the United States: I focus on this mostly with bands like Creedence, and a very silly and a bit boring game that I like a bit, Redneck Rampage, I suppose to remove all that silly humor and give it a serious southern American tone would be a good idea, with references to all that crazy mysticism about creatures and legends, green rivers, swamps, mixed a bit with the red blood of a bunch of demons. Anyway, I have not given much thought to this theme since despite being interesting, I can't think of something specific that is interesting. From now on, these are a few ideas, I have not talked much about the maps I have in mind, but you can ask me, and if you took one of these themes that I have given ... Freedom is yours and you can do whatever you want, I just wanted to see if they are of interest: D Cheers! And thanks for reading. (Sorry for my bad english) |

A Night Out At Casablanca :
A rich old-timey city with casinos, pubs, strip clubs, and other various city hangouts, where the palette is entirely grayscale and the only music that's allowed is piano only.
Demons Ate My Babysitter :
A simple tech base on earth, but the tech base has a color scheme of red walls and green floors, while the earth outdoors have a color scheme of blue grass and yellow vegetation.

Wow, the first one have my attention :o that could be a very good dbp theme! The other it's quite good, but can't imagine all the theme apart from your description, but another theme for dpb always is welcome. Maybe can I describe my ideas in this way |

I really wouldn't mind seeing one based off Dawn of the Dead. I know someone already made something based off it, but its way too close and a bit too open-ended. As far as I can tell, the actual limitation is that there isn't a good unarmed zombieman floating around. Although I suppose one could always just borrow assets from, say, Last Rites, that weird zombie FPS from '96 or so.

Yup, I can imagine a dbp based on that idea, morbid autumn gives me a feeling of that rural horror sometimes. If I'm correct, I played the same wad as you based on dawn of the dead, doom of the dead if i'm not wrong, It has a solid idea but feel so open and poor detailed. The new dbp31 will have some rural landscapes, so use some textures from that resources will be good. Hope to see a dbp based on that rural horror in the future |

Hmm, curious, apparently a lot of people fell into that rabbit hole and suffered the exact same mistakes. |

Hmm, curious, apparently a lot of people fell into that rabbit hole and suffered the exact same mistakes. Mm, even zombies is better than doom of the dead XD I don't know either if it's called "doom of the dead" (it was an obscure/very unknown wad) but it has 5 maps and some new enemies, etc. The maps had been inspired in the movies, some rural maps in the night, a city, a cabin, and sort of things. The idea was great but the lack of interesting maps design was the bad point. I enjoy it btw because was unique in terms of theme. In the other hand, zombies it's great, yeah, it has some bad points but Is a solid experience, there was two wads about that you know it? Here is the other www.moddb.com/mods/zombies-extreme-epidemic-edition/downloads/invasion-of-the-living-deadIf a dbp would be based on this ideas (but with the good level design of the dbps, textures, etc) I'm sure that could be a very solid and unique experience Hope to see that |

The Time Machine:
Time travel (even to different portions of the timeline within the same map) could be an interesting theme. Especially if the storyline tied together, as changes in the "past" section affected later maps in the "present" or "future" segments. Of course, this would be in a deterministic way; not anything "dynamic" as it must fit within Vanilla limits.
A 70's WAD:
Textures and theming based on 1970's motifs. Surprisingly, I am not sure this has been done before (maybe others know of something).
Frozen Outpost:
An Antarctica research station opens a portal to Hell. Mixes frost/lava themes.

Oh, more ideas, that's cool! A 70s theme it's something I've never seen before, maybe if the theme are inspired by 70s movies and cliche could be better, great one! The time machine idea could be so good, like a lot of themes mixed in one, you could travel to a medieval map, then a futuristic map, and every exit of the level it's the same time machine. I think in doctor who, in a tardis. And the last one it's pretty cool, like the mine, mixing the hell and the heaven, but in this case mixing the cold with the hot :o P.S.: I'm Sir_LSD from the discord |

The neons and the dark textures are impressive, and I see there are more colors... Waiting for a dbp based on that I was talking with Cuppykeks on discord and he said that he and you have resoruces for a cyberpunk city theme, that's awesome! |

The Eighth Sea :
Underwater theme, where you travel through various sunken ruins, ships, and underwater nature, with lots of moss overgrowing everything.
Post-Post-Post :
A post-post-post-apocalyptic setting where the demons managed to overtake earth and build their own civilization.
There are no humans left on earth besides Doomguy, no stimpacks or medikits either, they were all consumed by Doomguy for surviving so long, he has gone so desperate he turned to drinking blood and eating demons for health. But he has to invade the demonic civilizations on earth to get some spheres for extra healthcare.
Some demonic civilizations are entirely made of hellish materials, but some are demonized man-made locations. The terrain is dry and barren, all the trees are dead, some are burning, it's all brown and gray, there's no clean water anywhere, dirty brown sludge fills the oceans and the rivers of the earth and the sky has gone temporarily orange at day.

My (content removed):
A map that represents my (content removed)
In order for adequate representation to be achieved, the map needs to be pretty damn big so gzdoom or something is recommended.

Pretty good idea but the next map in the set represents my (content removed) and its much bigger. It causes visplane overflows even in modern source ports. |

A Christmas project where you play as Santa and you deliver presents.
Exits would be houses with sleeping residents you can see behind a window, and behind the front door there would be a Christmas tree and some cookies with milk on a table beside it that will act as HP, pressing use on the tree will exit the map and the intermission screen will show Santa putting presents under the tree.

Very good ideas here! I love how everybody keep posting ideas, I hope to see a dbp based on all of this, like the underwater theme or the oriental theme, both are very interesting...
About "my (content removed)" I'm only want to say one little thing... LOL XD

Chernobyl exclusion zone/post soviet facilities Mm, interesting, you have some description? I would like to see some forests levels with acid instead of water and some houses or tech that represents the soviet facilities. With brown, green and gray for the textures. |

in my mind this theme it's inspired on those old Street of Rage games, on those streets full of neon, enemies and fun things to see and with a great variety of levels (again, it wouldn't matter too much if you use the typical demons of doom)
