I guess I should give WAD author the credit, my bad - go play El viaje de Diciembre por favor!

The best part is that I made the MIDI for this map Careless Whisper.

Something about this looks so good. Can't put my finger on exactly why (maybe perfect scale/proportions/angle the screenshot was taken). Mainly vanilla textures as well. :O

The lighting looks really nice in this picture. It gives it that moody, late night vibe to it.

Finished my garage the other day (well, except for the dumbbells on their rack, barbell weights on the bar and smith machine rack, and the cable machine’s cord handles and spare handles hanging on the middle poles (will be more convenient for me to make them custom textures rather than more 3D floor messes)

 

Tried to get all angles

Ok now I feel called out and have to post some very unpolished prerelease stuff.

 

I had started working on a WAD to be titled "Doom 2 But It Takes Place In a Gym" last year. Pretty good gimmick and I had a bunch of cool ideas but it's been a while since I made progress. Doomcute was always going to feature heavily of course because I'm a man of culture. But I'm also a man of procrastination so it'll probably never get finished, and I have other ideas for maps that I'll probably not make instead of not working on these. I have a pretty solid basis of ideas but only maybe 10% of mapping done and none of the custom assets of which there should be a handful.

 

It's a humorous and delightful journey in the vein of Going Down with uniquely themed areas and shorter maps at around 6-8 maps total. Doomguy's mom drops his overweight ass off at the UAC fitness center after pretending they were going to Disney World and then drives away leaving him to the usual task. You'd deal with the yoga studio and front desk, then the pool, weight room, tanning beds, smoothie bar, etc across the various levels. Each level would clearly begin where the last left off, though only the first level uses the elevator while the other exits are a bit more original. Also, every map name is a horrible cringe inducing pun on an existing Doom 1/2 map.

 

But that kind of exercise equipment is pretty much what I had in mind for parts of it. At least I'd have to see what I could do in Boom's limitations but I was planning some custom textures anyway. Very nice looking and seems to be stock textures too.

 

Below are a couple screenshots from map 2, although I haven't nearly gotten around to texturing or adding details to most of it. I'd say map 1 is complete aside from a bit more decoration and custom assets, but map 2 is still very much in alpha. In spite of that, I'd done some of the doomcute decorations early on:

 

Anyway if you use your imagination the area on the right is the service counter for the smoothie bar. The barrels all would get reskinned as RomerPro Protein (Suck it Down!) and the Keens would be destructible hanging fruit arrangements. The banana peels actually cause monsters and the player to slip due to conveyors built in. In the background is a giant swirling blender full of gore that the player jumps into and the final fight (and exit) takes place in a larger version elsewhere in the map. It's still an ugly mess and I need to rework the combat significantly before finishing it but who knows. 

 

 

Here you can see the elevator from map 1 but more importantly a doomcute fire extinguisher. Hard to make out the details from a quick screenie but we can't be violating OSHA.

 

 

And finally a modestly slick way of pulling off an ambush; in the back hallways of the smoothie bar which serves as the storage area, there are several walls of little crates. You cross a linedef and the crates appear to be scattered across the floor behind you as several threatening monsters emerge. Not so much doomcute as environmental storytelling I guess. Pretty basic trick with fake floors of course, but people seem to love crap like this.

The plan sounds pretty intriguing. It’s always great to have a story. Even vague stories help with level flow and pace because they direct creativity. When I first started out my WAD—well, asides from exam season where I really could not have any time, I would set aside a time every other day, even just 30 mins, and progress a bit each time. Of course, I got more time afterward, but even 30 mins every other day I found better than a sudden 5 hour burst on Saturday. By splitting time up you decrease burnout and build a dedication through routine commitment.

Now this... How does this even work?

 

 

Even has an antenna above the grille, if you look closer:

I think this also counts as cute:

Like this, basically just a bunch of mid-texture slices arranged so that it looks 3D:

That's probably just a texture clipping issue from your 3D renderer

I return with more Doomcute silliness from my project. 
 

First time implementing custom textures. My sister really wanted me to make some unhinged shrine in her room to her favorite rockstars (I have no idea who I put in there, I just used whatever images she gave me lol).

Secret found!!…uh…should we celebrate?

Alot of stuff from "Going Down" is pretty neat actually, lots of examples of doomcute.

 

Also, @elborbahquarama. What the actual fuck is your profile picture?

uuuhh mouths late but they are sprary cans heh

I've always wanted to make one of these, but as someone who doesn't know jack shit about custom textures, this may be a tad bit out of my wheelhouse for the moment. I do love me some Doomcute-themed maps tho!

I make doomcutes using vanilla texures, get creative! (that is supposed to be a positive tone btw)

Tooting my own horn here. I'm making my little brother a gift map for his 10 year birthday. There will be two versions, one normal sized, and one big. The normal sized map has regular textures, and the big one, which is kinda like a "rats" map, will be corrupted by hellish forces and have demons in it. It's based on his house. Yes, that's an Among Us shaped bed.

Yep :)

Here’s some quick notes. I forgot what “Flanger” means and I assume “Metal Zone” is a metal sounding pedal? This is my sister’s equipment so she knows more. I mean, we both play electric guitar, but she’s more serious about music than I am.
