I figured I'd make the rooms in an individual, modular fashion, hence the FUCKING DOOR LOL placeholders where the connective bridges will be. If the map turns out to be too small then additional modules can be added in.

As for texturing afterwards... yeah, that's normally what I would recommend as well. But since the cell-shaded effect is utterly dependent on texture placement, things fall to pieces very, very quickly if a floor is the wrong height / a wall is a pixel too long. And a mistake uncorrected exacerbates itself over time; one wrong placement means everything else built on top of it will also be wrong.

I should probably make 'grid' texture to ensure that everything lines up in 16 / 8 unit increments, but if I'm going to spend time doing that then I'd be as well using the actual real textures and spot the problems as and when they arise.

I miss Windows XP. Good times.

Today. One finished corridor.



Playing with textures to try and get a nice burny lava effect.

Figured the central 'mosh pit' of the map should be a cathedral-like structure. But industrial.

And with stained glass windows.

I'll need at least six different window designs, plus one massive one in the middle that should be something very special. Each design will depict different aspects of the doom community / specific incidents worth celebrating. Here's the first design;



I call it 'The (content removed) Take Back Feminism' and it is a fucking work of ART, baby.

Anyway, I thought why not have a SUPER FUN COMPETITION TIME with you faggots. Provided above is a BLANK TEMPLATE (OMG!) for you to design your own stained glass window depicting the community's greatest moments. Don't worry if you can't draw; I'll be redoing your ideas anyway.

Criteria for winning is making me laugh. The prize for winning is fuck all, unless you count having me trace over your masterpiece and including it in a deathmatch wad. In which case congratulations, you won something.

Get working. Tick tock.

Well, my hopes weren't high. Ritual disembowelment it is.



I'll call this one The Fool. Thanks for the inspiration.

The "Bird Boy" thread comes to mind. That was a big one for me, as it contained at least five or six pages of pure comedy gold. Unfortunately it was sent to Post Hell and is now permanently gone forever. Sigh...

This dude had an idea for a game using the Doom engine in which you'd play as a "bird boy" or something. Everyone laughed at it, and he got super defensive and started cussing everyone out. It was hilarious, and then he was banned. Memes followed, in his honor of course.

RIP, the boy who dared to be a bird.

How about one where man touches his new moobies?

I remember the funniest thread, where a boy submitted his map in a WAD that had all of Doom II in it multiple times. He got ridiculed, and then he threatened to send a bomb. I think it was dn that replied something like "If your bombs are like you maps, I can expect a rancid bottle of cat piss to come flying through my window any moment now!" I laughed my ass off for hours on that one!

Scifista made a blank texture pack that I found very useful when making my last map. It basically allowed me to speed up the process of building the structure and layout of the map, setting up of linedef actions, and thing placement without the compulsion of fixing every little texture alignment issue which tends to drain my time and will to live.

lol no. Maybe one day.
