[TITLE WIP]: A Self-Expressive Project

Post by Jay Two »

Description
This project is designed to be an outlet; this is my own way of processing complex emotions and reflecting on scenarios/events that have significantly impacted my life. I consider art or anything creative in nature to be the ultimate form of expression. Since DOOM has been so influential for me personally, it only makes sense to express these feelings in the form of a "modification."

Gameplay
The goal of this project is to accurately portray emotions/events, so gameplay will be almost non-existent. While interactive scenes are a possibility, the experience will be primarily passive. Think of it as a partially-interactive music video. All artwork/sounds/music will be completely original, and most of the animations will be rendered in real-time.

Notice
The state of this project is very early in development. A variety of scenes have been completed, but many aspects have yet to be implemented and a moderate degree of polish is necessary. Release date remains unknown for the foreseeable future unless stated otherwise.

Preview
Within the spoiler, you will find a preview of a modified version of an early scene in the project. The music is incomplete and has been cut from this particular build.

Sad that nobody wrote anything ...
So I'll do .That looks extremely interesting.Even if I am more of a Guns Blazing kinda gamer .Expressive art is something we haven't seen in doom to often . I know of one mod which has the typical walking SIM combined with some kind of expressionist world building .but that's it .Sure there is a bit more but I haven't heard of it .Lots of political stuff though .

I hope you can achieve what you seek

Thank you for the encouraging words my friend. I do agree that there is a lack of expression within the Doom community. The engine is versatile and modifications are plentiful, yet there are certain categories/genres that remain vastly unsaturated. I am surprised that more people aren't taking advantage of the engine in this way.

This is a pretty interesting thingy you got here mate, a self-expressive project where you decided to vent your emotions into an art form if I'm getting this correctly... The description for the video is a little depressing, but it expands on what this project is. It's merely a way to express yourself in a way that hopefully somebody will understand. And with that you have my respect.


I really hope you have a good life ahead of you and maybe... just maybe... Achieve something far greater than a mere expression of emotion.

Take care of yourself okay? now have a good one.

Thank you my friend. I must warn you, most of the stuff you'll see here will be quite depressing! The goal isn't to seek pity or wallow in my own sadness, but to "release" as much negativity as I can. Sometimes it feels like expressing it openly like this is the only way to be rid of it. I am not so naive as to think that simply posting a video will melt all of my troubles away, but it certainly helps. It gives me peace of mind, in a strange way. No amount of expression will fix all of our struggles; in some cases, it may even reinforce them. Therapy and self-improvement can be very powerful tools to find some semblance of peace. But, I digress.

Thank you for your comment!
