Doom project ideas you can take (ideas by me)

[Johnny Cruelty]

here is some doom wad ideas you can take, I thought of these concepts

Tell me your thoughts on them, which intriqgues you the most?

 

"Amalgoom 1264" The wad is a 32 megawad that each level combines a doom 1, 2 and 64 level into one amalgamation (for example level one would be a combo of hangar, entryway and staging area) (Map02 would be a combo of Nuclear Plant, Underhalls and The Terraformer) (Map03 would be Toxin Refinery, The Gantlet and Main Engineering)

"Wolfendoom" Doom 2 levels remade to look like wolfenstien 3d levels with 90 degree only walls but resemble doom 2 levels

 

"Crate Maze Chronicals" maps made mostly with crates like some sort of mountain/castle with crates with the occasional pocket of non crates hiding around

 

"From start to finish" Doom 2 or Doom 1 levels, where the meat and potatoes between the starting and ending rooms are deleted and made with a different interpretation (the postition where the starting and ending rooms are not moved) so the room you start and end in in e1m1 is still there but everything else is replaced

 

'Remodeled" A Doom 2 megawad where you can make a map only using the weapons, enemy types, textures, decorations, ammo, keys and health bonuses used on that level (for example, you can only have imps and zombie men and a rocket launcher, shotgun chainsaw in map01) 

 

"Nuke 2: Hell Fire on Earth" Doom 2, but it looked like every map was hit with a nuke, so maps would look like they are in ruins and might have to be traversed differently, so you have stuff like exposed ceilings, broken walls, more toxic waste

 

"Oops! All Secret Levels!" every level is designed like a gimmicky secret level, with all secret level tropes (the map31 and map32 could ironically be modeled like regular levels)

 

"Noobfest 2024" Each level is to be designed like Baby's First Doom Wad (actual Baby's first wads are acceptable)

 

"Obliged" Each level is based on a automap from a randomly generated oblige/obsidian map in which mappers would take the basic shapes from the auto map and use them as a base

 

"Hometown" each level is made from a section where the mapper grew up, like a MyHouse.wad thingie but with a familar place like a 4 street crossroad with a 7-11 or a mall.

 

"DOTD" (demon of the day) Each level contains only one enemy type, starting from weakest to hardest.

 

"Covers" Each level is designed based on the cover art of a album from a band

 

"Into the Music Video" Levels are designed based on music videos (for example, A-Ha - Take on me, AIC - We Die Young, Megadeth - Go To Hell)

 

"Telephone" Similar to "Doom 2: the way we remember it" basically, someone designs a level, and the next person tries to remake the level, but from memory, then the next one, then the next one, so on and so on, like the kids game "telephone"

 

"Dreamscape" Doom levels that are designed based on a dream they had

 

"8 Weapons" each level is only limited to one weapon in a cycle of 4 times in this order: Map01 - Pistol Map02 - Chainsaw Map03 - Shotgun Map04 - SSG Map05 - Chaingun Map06 - Rocket Launcher Map07 - Plasma Gun Map08 - BFG 9000

 

"Go 2 Them" each level from doom 2 is made into a Plutonia "Go 2 It" styled slaughtermap

 

"Doom 3 Simulator" Each map is designed to be mostly dark

 

those are my ideas, what doya think?

Neat concept, i remember a project with similar premises made long time ago in Zdoom forums. A secret map for Jenesis used the same gimmick, mashing up Plutonia and TNT MAP02

Already exist, but i don't remember the name of It now

Nice concept, but isn't too similar to 95 the way we see It?

Remodeled

Another nice concept, i have a similar idea for a mapset in mind, It could be interesting see what people can do with such limitations

Obliged

Another nice one, reminds me of old russian community wad contests

Hometown

Conceptually, is it like this project of mine? It could be nice to have a "my house" community wad btw

DOTD

So, it's like 1monster? Nice but already seen, maybe change the gimmick with a monster type x mapslot?

Dreamscape

ItMV: Told you already in a older post where you talked about this, it's a pretty interesting concept!

Dreamscape: best concept of the bunch, i'd like to see It fully devepoled!

8 Weapons

Another nice concept, what about berserk pack or chainsaw?

Go 2 Them

Fun concept, It could be interesting see what people can do with this gimmick.

Doom 3 Simulator

So, it's like darkzone? A nice concept, but It was done already.

Nuke 2: Hell Fire on Earth

Another nice concept

Oops! All Secret Levels!

This sounds like big fun! Did It will follow the gimmick of commercial games (Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom) exploited in the most recent @MtPain27 video or something different? Great concept as well like Dreamscape

Noobfest 2024

Funny idea, but i'm not sure if other people will find it funny as well.

 

Sorry for the double post.

This post really makes me wish I had more spare time so I could give some of these ideas ago.

 

I also wanted to say something that came as a surprise is to me, which is that a few weeks ago, I started working on a map that is planned to contain various set pieces I have dreamt over the past year, and I have it in my files as Dreamscape, which is a neat coincidence hehe
