I want to make a standalone game with the Doom Engine

[DoomSlayer69]

Hi guys, I am interested in creating a standalone game with the Doom engine. I've seen people using the GZDoom engine to create their own custom standalone game, how can I do something similar? 

 

If you couldn't tell, I am not too familiar with the technical side of the Doom Engine, I only have experience making games with the Unity engine.

If you guys know what I should do, please let me know, thanks!

for making a standalone game with gzdoom, you have to make an iwad for it. that is, making a normal wad/zip file on the same folder as gzdoom and renaming it as .iwad or .ipk3. also a GZDoom custom iwad needs an IWADINFO lump, there is more info: https://zdoom.org/wiki/IWADINFO

 

also there is two bases for starting a gzdoom game (put these on gzdoom's folder and start adding thigs from there, add new textures/maps or new things throught decorate or zscript like making a normal doom mod, but without the doom resources):
