Would anybody still enjoy a Doom 1 MEGAWAD?

I would definitely enjoy an Ultimate Doom megawad...Doom 1 is my favorite and always will be.  I wish there were more Ultimate Doom megawads so I will definitely appreciate yours if you go through with making an entire megawad...also if you need play testing sign me up.  I don't know how to map, but I am a decent play tester, I would love to help in that way if I can.

It's a question I've been meaning to ask,  I'm currently working on a 9 level Knee-Deep in the Dead styled episode, where I'm focusing on interconnected layouts that eliminate backtracking (unlike my previous level I released). I have 3 levels finished, and It'll take awhile, but when I finish it I'd love to make more episodes.

 

I'm not getting ahead of myself here however. I'm not gonna lie to myself and all of you that I'm some kind of mapping guru who just coughs out quality maps, so if I were to start making a MEGAWAD it'd certainly be some time before anyone would see it released.

 

Well, let me know if you'd be interested in this episode I'm making, any feedback is appreciated. I'm contemplating posting screenshots but I think I'll wait on that.

Looks I'm late to the comment thread but mine is an episode for DOOM that I just finished mapping for. It's in the testing phase now. I picked DOOM specifically because I wanted to do a 9 map episode. And I didn't want the SS in it. And I liked the idea and challenge of what I could do in DOOM with limited textures. At the end of the day, people would still play it. Do what you have fun with.

Playing Hells Bane megawad currently so hell yes im liking Doom 1 wads! I like my constant usage of low health enemies, killing ims and former humans\seargants with shotgun\chaingun is calming for me. Also i love Doom 1 episodes reimaginations.

Absolutely, I'm glad you're looking forward to it. Definitely gives me more of a push to put extra work into it. I hope it meets everyone's expectations, and I'll put you as my first priority for a playtester. Thank you for showing interest!

The Venn diagram of "Best Doom textures" and "Textures that were removed in Doom 2" is a circle.

You hit the nail on the head with that one

When I play, I specifically look for Doom 1 maps to play. A definite yes from me.

Yet another yes from me.

 

Among unmentionned Ultimate Doom megawads I'd like to name Base Ganymede and Sinergy (the latter from random /idgames archive rolls). And also KDiZD and KDiKDiZD if they qualify.

Awesome, I can't wait!  Just let me know when you have something for me to play test and I will do it.
