B4DooM: Prequel to DooM

[Mikk-]

If he's not Stan Blaskowitz... Or Fly Taggart.. Or John Stalvern. Does that mean he's Buddy Dacote?

[TerminusEst13]

but those are usually lady's gloves, aren't they?

Actually, they're pretty common in gothic fashion.

And considering that the dimensional rifts mean going to different dimensions rather than staying in the original one, I'd think this could be a crossover with King of Fighters and it'd still be justifiable.

Buddy's from a discarded continuity, so no. Buddy was never intended to be the player character, the player would be one of the people who got recycled into Rise of the Triad.

Don't look for a name; he doesn't have one. All he has is a face, a gun, and fifty bullets.

Heh, the Reason the "doom guy" has no name, is he is Supost to BE YOU, lol, so sayeth the ruler of Bethos, or mr. Romero.

Maybe I should have waited for the project to be finished before having poll on the blog, it's kinda discouraging to see people vote it down.

Back in 1996 or so, I started a project for a doom prequel called B4DooM (before doom). Some of you might know it from geocities - it ranked #7 of over 3000 doom mods at one point by some place I can't remember

Can you post the old version somewhere? I remember the Geocities website, and wanted to download it from there, but all the links were broken.

[B4DooM]

Where is a recommended place to put up files for download?

[wolfman]

MediaFire is what I use.

[B4DooM]

Hmm, what about somewhere where contributors can download and upload etc aswell?

Why does the E1M1 map have a ramp in it?

Have to admit, I laughed my ass off when that happened. Immediately heard some announcer guy yelling "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY MONSTER TRUCK MADNESS"

I just kept looping that part of the video around a minute in. The chasecam shot is hilarious -- is this project secretly Sandy Petersen's Pro Doomer?

"Welcome to our Hangar Circuit. We've got a pretty sick get-up here, lots of sweet ramps, you know. It's about $25 for the day, and... WHOA look at that mage guy making a jump! NICE MAN! Anyways, most of our ramps come out of nukage pools, so good luck going off of them..."

[B4DooM]

heheh, the idea was to make your debut entrance smashing through the window diving straight into the action, but back in those days i didn't know how to use invisible sprite bridges or scripted cutscenes (if they even existed i cant remember), so that was the only way i could do it. when sloped floors became available, i was interested in seeing what it looked like to make smooth curves that didn't look sector based so i used the ramp as an experiment because it had so many sectors already.

the solid ramp makes no logical sense of course - bit like "history's worse engineering disasters" lol

Development update!
