What sort of wads would you like to see?

[Kute]

We've seen all manner of backdrops and palettes and motifs and such. 

 

There's enough content for a lifetime of heavy play.

 

Personally, I find with videogames I don't really know what I want until I have it, and even things I think I want, in practice can be underwhelming.

 

But there's some beauty in the tank still, look at this map. I think he said it was the guy's first attempt at a map, and it's gorgeous. The fights look underwhelming, but the look impresses me quite a bit.

I want to see a Plutonia remake which expands the concepts and ideas of the original levels. Basically TNT Goes Boom, but for Plutonia.

I would like to see a voxel engine in a doom wad. Like think: MineCraft but in Classic Doom. 

Spoiler

I don't think it would be possible though.

Some sort of Warhammer 40,000 inspired wad is what I wish. Well... World War II themed wad would be nice too. Something like first Call of Duty games.

i would love a megawad faithful of recreating doom 3 tbh

We're long overdue a followup to Bauhaus.

I was planning on making a WW2 themed wad that could be ran in chocolate. But I haven't worked on it.

Overall I want more megawads that vary up the levels a bit thematically. I almost always get bored of a megawad that has more than 5 levels in a row with the same exact theme or setting, even if the map is objectively well designed with its layout, i just can't help but feel bored when its one of many same looking tech base levels i've played before. Not that I necessarily need a dramatic shift every single level, but not many wads that i've played seem to stray from having episodes where every level has the same exact theme, I get why for the sake of continuity but when every level seems to blend together because they feel the exact same it's hard for me to remember a lot of maps. 

 

As for general themes, I don't see many jungle/forest themes if at all, i've tried my hand at making some forest themed maps in boom and udmf formats but I never finished any of them because i'm just lazy 💀

This seems pretty intersting! I mean, people often make *tribute* maps of famous plutonia maps, but no one care about the less famous ones.

Well, I'm not trying to self-promote here but that's exactly the thing that I was trying to do in my wad. I'm fine with 5 map-episodes but when you have to play 7-10 maps that are similar in terms of visual design, then it can be quite annoying and boring.

I'd love to see a Final Fantasy 7 inspired wad. The ideas and vision is all in my head, but I dont have the mapping skills or time to even think about embarking on sth like that lol

After re-reading this thread, I would recommend to all content creators out there - just keep doing what you're doing.

I really want to see more vanilla minisodes (an episode of 6 maps for instance).

[Widosm]

I'm not a very picky person. I wouldn't mind playing a hundred maps in the same style, as long as they were all fun and creative. Of course, there are decades of maps I have yet to play through, so anything new is cool. However, I have found maps based on real life locations and architecture to be quite interesting.

stupid grammar

[ImproversGaming]

I quite fancy shorter WADs, like 9 maps, that are based on the traditional Doom style. Not overly large maps and change them up as you go: like longer maps, shorter maps, maps with interesting mechanics, linear maps, non-linear maps – like an arena, etc.

 

I guess like a smorgasbord of Doom appetisers. I think that would be cool.
