A nice find, though the low res on that thing is rather poor to see.

 

You'd probably just get used to it as you played it more. I don't think I was too bothered by it.

So I'm getting closer to finishing making my first map for Doom II.

Would anyone here be interested in testing it when it's finished? (Work in progress pics related)

You can count me in. Is it for vanilla, BOOM or ZDoom?

I made it using GZDoom, in BOOM format. I personally run it using Zandronum that's my favourite source-port atm.

I'll add you to the list of testers, if anyone else wants to be a tester just comment In this thread. I'll PM you all the file whenever I get the map finished. I'll credit anyone who tests out the map on the ModDB page when the map is ready for release (unless you don't want credit for some reason)

 

Here's my developer page for ModDB when the level is ready for public release you'll be able to find it here:

May I ask why don't you just post the beta version publicly? Also you should look into publishing your finished version on the official archive of Doom wads: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/

Because I don't want the public playing an unfinished mod. Why wouldn't I want to fix missing textures or other problems before release? I prefer ModDB because I can publish multiple mods from mutiple engines all on one page as opposed to all over the net. I'm planning on modding other games in the future.

Yeah, that's it. I looked up a Youtube video earlier as well.

 

Here's a video of the Gameboy one I had mentioned as well: 

 

Doom on GBA? You mean "war of the blobs"? It was a rather... Poor Doom port.

 

That is something that I think Doom is most interesting for: it's probably one of the most ported games in existence. Off the top of my head I can list the following ports (and fully know that they are not even all of them):

 

Linux

Mac

iOS

Android

TI calculators

ZX Spectrum (yes there was an unfinished ZX spectrum port, though I don't believe it was official)

GBA

PS1

N64 (though less of a port more of a new game)

Sega 32X

Atari Jaguar

Zune

Sony Ericsson

iPods (not the touch as in iPods with the click wheel)

Nintendo DS (Obviously requires some kind of homebrew device, however if I recall it even supports Wi-Fi Network play!)

Wii (Via homebrew)

Xbox 360

PS3

SNES

 

Hell I know there are tons of random obscure devices that have their own Doom versions as well. I.e. not just running an emulator of another version, but their own hard coded version, such as the OpenPandora.

I didn't mind it on GBA. I would only really play it on GBA when I was out or something, but I think I actually enjoyed it.

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

The GBA simply wasn't powerful enough for Doom. Talking of ports, the Duke Nukem PS Vita Port handls a lot worse than I thought it would.

Many mappers release public betas of their works (e.g. on the Doomworld forums) because it makes it really easy for anyone to test it and report problems with it, give feedback on the gameplay, etc. It's your choice of course, but releasing betas is a perfectly valid and common practice.

I've followed modding for over 15 years, this actually isn't as standard as you claim it to be. Beta testing is usually closed to the public which is exactly what I'm doing. You can make mods anyway you want. Edited August 18, 2015 by Compa

15 years of following modding? That's impressive. Sorry for speaking out of turn.

About 15 years. I used to install mods from Pc Gamer demo discs, downloading mods off the internet could take days for most people since Broadband was barely a thing and moddb didn't yet exist

They ported that to Vita?

@, Also I wouldn't mind test running.

I remember playing a port of doom 2 on gba being the first time I played doom. I have the whole series but never really played them and the new doom looks cool.

Yeah it doesn't handle right though, needs to be on pc.

At this point I've got three different forums to put up a beta for, I might as well just

upload a pblic beta at this point since I was going to want plenty of feedback.I still think its less neat to do it thisway but I've come round to it.When the beta is finishe I'll just link it here

I'll eagerly away a chance to play. What level of play is it going to be? Casual or for advanced players only?

Leaning more toward casual I think, but there will be a challenge in areas.

Okay so here's the ModDB page for the Doom II 'ExtraMana' it contains new screenshots for the mod in progress. Check it out!

Good news boys and girls, somehow, CDprojektred managed to convince Bethesda to release the older Quake, Doom, Eldar Scrolls, and Fallout games onto GOG. Thus if you want another way to purchase them outside of Steam, GOG is another choice! They're having a bundle sale to celebrate!

I saw this pretty cool stuff.

Also the mod has a teaser video showing a work in progress Doom II map.

Purchased Redguard with Arena and Daggerfall on the first day of the launch. Already had Doom 1 and 2 with the 3 BFG edition.

The amount of Doom I've been playing would kill ordinary people.

 

Lucky for me, I am beyond such limiting titles.

 

EDIT: INFERNO IS SO HARD

Oh man, back when I was a younger inexperienced kiddo, I first played Doom 2 on my PC and freaking Pinky demon gave me one hell (sorry for the pun) of a jumpscare. I jumped and the thing killed me easily. This brings back lots of memories... I think I'll go straight to GOG now.

[Certainly Syrix 14]

Anybody ever tried Hideous Destructor?

 

http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12973

 

It's a tactical realism mod for Doom. Been looking for a co-op partner to try it with, since it recommends co-op.

 

I also really like GMOTA (Go Medieval on their Butts), a mod with lots of new enemies and music based around two weapons: A sword, and a gauntlet. That would also be good fun to play in co-op, especially since it supports Zandronum.

 

And one last mod I recommend is Satanic Redux with the Ambience Pack. Hard to explain, so much so that I highly recommend reading through the manual. Same goes with Hideous Destructor, to an extent.

 

I've got more mods to recommend, so many more. I'll post about them another time though.

HAHAHAHAH No.

 

Doom 1 is so easy now after replaying it 666 times
