^ About as done as this is gonna get 'til I can get some RELIABLE people to fuckin' work on this... >_> ^

A project that aims to recreate the doom bible as accurately as possible. Only one episode for now, but possibly more in the future when this one is done.

Original post here:

Doom: Evil Unleashed -- Shareware Version is a total conversion that will recreate what the doom may have been like if the doom bible had been followed. It's "shareware" as there will only be one episode, seeing as that's all id really seemed to work on anyway.
I've been working on this for a few weeks now, and it's making decent progress for how short of time I've been working on it. Tell me what you guys think.

These screenshots are old and do not reflect the current product.

Screenshots with commentary:

E1M1: Secondary Hanger

---

You start out here, in the control room, your buddies killed after a game of cards. The culprit lies dead on the floor too.


Showing some of the details I put in.


A nice view of the hallway just outside the control room.


Some room I just killed a demon trooper in.


A computer console. Should I keep the slope in?


Just grabbed the shotgun. It has a custom sprite I made, final version but with the thicker muzzle from the alphas stuck on the end.


After flipping the switch in that dark room, I find that it reveals some guard armor.


Some computer room.


Just inside the door of the room in the previous shot (obviously)


Killed some demon troopers hiding waiting to ambush me.


Showing the side you came in.


Got a few small items.


Oops, missing object on the top of the ledge.


Looking down from the ledge.


Communications room.


Close up of the console.


Looking outside on to Tei Tenga's surface.




Cool extruded light.


Bathroom with VERY temporary, makeshift toilet sprites. (also I haven't added the stall doors yet)


Some terminal.


I wonder what that could be?


An elevator with a sliding door.


Just got off the elevator, we're now on the first floor.


Showing the entire room. (haven't done too much work on it yet)


The main exit leading to the supply depot.


Looking out into the hanger. Quite dark.


Outside.


Another angle.


Indoors again, this time in the hanger looking at the windows off in the distance.

E1M2: Supply Depot

---

In the starting hallway of the supply depot.


Combating some troopers in the crossroads.


Entering the crate maze.


The UAC isn't very organized, are they? (this place is a mess!)


So many switches, but which one?


Seriously, why do they just leave all these items out in the wide open? They have crates for a reason.


More oddly stacked crates.


A button that...


... raises some stairs to obtain the missile launcher.

E1M7: Enlistment Quarters

---

Start room


Locker room.


Possessed humans are everywhere in this level.


Massacre in the shower.

E1M8: Power Plant. This is the only room I've made any progress on so far, so that's why there's only one screen.

E1M9: Laboratory

---

Start room.


You can enter the lab later, but for now it's locked.




Fighting more troopers. (I really gotta put some more variety in)


Not really much to say about this one.


Switch that raises...



... a switch in the pit that opens...


... these door so you can climb the ladder.


Computer lab second floor. Go to the elevator to find...


... a computer lab maze in the basement.


Demons are just crawling down here.


OFUK WHERED YOU COME FROM


I'm now in the refinery.


A cave.


The switch to the observatory. I'm not telling you how to get there, but I will tell you that it's not like in the Doom bible. Seriously, get hit by a demon? What the fuck was Tom smoking?


Outside, path leading to the old building.

E1M12: Anomaly

---

Hall to the canyon.


Looking at the gate from the canyon.


In the canyon.


Scenic view of hell.

Alright! Looks awesome. No doubt when this releases, I'm gonna be playing this in 320x200 with framerate capping on.

Thanks! Oh, by the way, is it alright if I use some of your music for this? Also, would you consider making some music specifically for this?

[lukas]

Looks nice.

I'm guessing that the architecture is simple cause you want it to look like original Doom.

[Sodaholic]

That would be the case. How does the texturing look? (besides the crate maze, which is pretty unfinished at the moment)

[lukas]

It's all OK.
Looks simple like Original Doom and I guess that's what you want.

Yes, it's fine. I might have some time to do some original stuff for this, but I really need to get some of my other musical contributions out the way while I have some free time.

I can't see the screenies at work (unless someone wants to email them to me caligari DOT 87 AT gmail DOT com) but I did some work on a project like this with a couple guys a few years ago and I'd love to help What kind of stuff would you need done?

[Xaser]

This is pretty cool, I must say -- there's something about the Doom alphas I've always just loved for some reason.

Not sure how interested you'd be, but I've made "finished" versions of the two never-used alpha maps if you're interested in messing with them. The wad is here (E5M1 and E5M4 are the ones in question), though they'd probably need a lot of de-voidification before they'd fit. Still might be easier than going the other way around and building from the alpha map up, at least.

Not really sure yet (still early in development), but what kind of stuff are you good at? If you're good at spriting,
I actually need a new sprite for the rocket launcher. It should be black and based on the pickup sprite from the 0.5 alpha.
Also, I need a new sprite for the bayonet. Probably just the 0.5 version rifle with a bayonet attached, I would do it myself but I'm focusing on the maps right now.

Thanks, but I'm already going to build the maps from the alpha up. I played the lost episode when it came out though, it was pretty awesome.

I'm pretty good with graphics in general. If the spriting isn't too complex, I could help out a little on that for sure. I'll see what I can do over the weekend.

Thanks man. Btw, does anyone know if this is still alive? http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... +path+hell

[Caligari87]

Considering the last post was in 2008, probably not.

[Sodaholic]

Well, at least that means no competition

Will you be able to break the curse and be the first to actually finish a Doom Bible project? Or will this project die like its legions of unlucky predecessors, whose plaintive wails still haunt the dusty basements of the most ancient project forums that still stand to this day?
