[WIP] Doom: Evil Unleashed -- announcement

[HexaDoken]

Or you can don't even bother with coming up with a plausible excuse, because I so far have never seen a map complaint that says "I don't think this <insert futuristic thing> will look this way in next century".

Not to mention, the real deal will almost always look boring and unimpressive compared to what a creative mind can come up with.

[Enjay]

What if a creative mind came up with the real deal?

Sure, no one has said "I don't think this <insert futuristic thing> will look this way in next century" but that's not the point. Making the map look pleasing and logical (at least within its own logic) is the point and part of that would mean picking theme-appropriate looking scenery - but that doesn't have to be future-accurate scenery (and we don't know what that will look like anyway).

We have secondary fuel drums now

This is very preliminary however.

[Enjay]

Yup, that little crate and drum collection beside a techy alcove just helps make the place feel like it has some kind of function - and one that is consistent with the name "hangar". I can believe that a spacecraft support technician would go into that alcove and do "technical things" to ensure that the craft was fit and ready to fly again.

I'm not too crazy about the little details and the slopes--I'd prefer if the architecture is more "Doom the Way Id Might Have Done", something that looks like it could run on a 486SX.

[Marnetmar]

The overall architecture of the hangar is actually quite simple and part of my intention is to combine mapper's styles with engine stuff that was intended for the engine but was cut out (slopes, [psuedo]room over room, etc.)

Yeah, not to mention that Tom wanted things to look "realistic", but let's not forget that the finished Doom was actually really rushed and most planned features were dropped (within those were slopes and room-over-room architecture).

Also, kinda unrelated, but I made a blog for Doom EU development where you can ask us questions, submit stuff and such. Anybody interested in it, should give it a visit. I think I'll be updating it more often than this thread (mainly because this thread is for important announcements and the blog is just for miscellaneous stuff).

[Olroda]

I like the look of it, and I have to ask... Will there be an actual spacecraft in the hangar?

[hfc2x]

Will there be an actual spacecraft in the hangar?

Not in this hangar

Shame's on you for posting something not updated.

Here's the actual mockup:

[Woolie Wool]

If Doomguy does not have a Mega-Soundchair I want my money back.

[hfc2x]

Seeing as Doomguy is on Mars, and this game takes place on Tei Tenga, you probably don't have to put your money in this to begin with.

[Gez]

Doomguy is everywhere.
