Spectris.wad: WIP Two-Level minisode remake of ZX Spectrum DOOM fan game

[Wadmodder Shalton]

Hello Everyone, I started to create my second released, and Work-In-Progress, PWAD called Spectris.wad

 

This is my own attempted remake of the unofficial ZX Spectrum DOOM fan game from 1997, in the style of a two-level minisode.

 

Link to download this PWAD: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pqbofLR7M_9zKB_vWnj6tfIMkh6rOY-Q/view?usp=sharing

 

It will consist of Two levels:

 

E1M1: Recreation of a single level tech demo of ZX Spectrum DOOM from 1996

E1M2: Full recreation of the Pre-Release Beta of ZX Spectrum DOOM from 1997, haven't started mapping it out yet.

 

Here's the of screenshot of the first level I had completed:

 

Here's what needs to be done to finish this PWAD I'm still working on:

 

- Creating the second level of this two-level minisode PWAD, I could screen capture the pre-release beta version this obscure ZX Spectrum version of DOOM, but it's going to be very tedious process to get all the map areas & placements of explosive barrels, items, and monsters. So can anybody screen capture the only map of the pre-release beta version of ZX Spectrum DOOM?

 

So what do any of you think about this Work In Progress PWAD? Thoughts and comments are apricated.

Huh ? I haven't heard anything about ZX Spectrum before. Why does it look like a pacman level ?

[Wadmodder Shalton]

The first level was taken from Digital Reality's 1996 Demo of their ZX Spectrum DOOM game, consisting of a single map without any monsters, items or barrels. The ZX Spectrum DOOM from Digital Reality is more akin to Wolfenstein 3D than DOOM overall, being very maze-like.

 

Also, Digital Reality released two demos of their ZX Spectrum DOOM game, one in 1996 that I recreated in those two images seen above, and another in 1997 with Monsters, Items, & Barrels. Sadly a full version never got released.

 

This PWAD project is very amateurish and not of high quality, but take credit to me, because I'm really trying to improve my mapping skills

I also need help creating the second map, as I currently don't know how to use a ZX Spectrum emulator right now (as I am not sure if such emulators require the BIOS).

 

Also, this is a walkthrough of ZX Spectrum DOOM:

 

So, can anybody here create screen captures of the map screen of this version of ZX Spectrum DOOM, and combine them into a single image in Photoshop or whatever image editing software you have?

The green arrow is the player start and the exit is in the author's signature. I wasnt able to mark the locations of items and monsters.

Thanks for the map layout, I can start using my imagination on the Item, Barrel & Monster placements. I can just use the video up above to create my own imagination on the items and monsters.

Finished the second map of Spectris.wad completing this two-level minisode.
