Dreams/Nightmares about Doom engine games?

If it's not ZDoom, it goes here.

Going down the citations they seem to have concluded "ITS DOOM ENGINE HERE PROOF!!!" just because one doom community mapper (Shaviro) made a map for it with who knows what and the engine happens to be used in one of many early "doom-style engine" games for the GBA.

that's like Resident Evil being claimed to be the Quake engine because it's 3d and has polygon models. one re fan wiki had this claim for years and this obvious lie was regurgitated because fandumb

SPOILER: everything with sectors and wall spans does not equal doom engine. seriously

The game shares engine with Dark Arena which is as at least listed on wikipedia as running on a modified version of id tech 1.

i recently had a vivid daydream about an extreme Zdoom mod that imitated the hell map one sees in the Doom (4) E3 preview. the player used a voxel based Super Shotgun and blasted bloody voxel chunks out of a dynamic voxel enemy. the environment was done with dynamic voxels to have a true 3D look to it. With dynamic voxels i mean voxels with physics so one could blow chunks out of it, somewhat like in voxelstein 3D.

I had a weird dream about a map that felt like E1M8, except there were cyberdemons. It was more open version of the map with windows. It was scared for some reason, probably that I had to dodge rockets.
I really need to map it, because I don't know how to describe it. It was shaped kinda like a castle.

Way back then, before there was any source port, I had in a dream a sudden insight into how to make curved walls (like, walking inside a big tube) in Doom. Unfortunately, after waking up, it didn't work anymore. :p

I posted about this before, but I had this really bizarre dream around the time I made my Strife mod that involved someone making this massive resource of Strife-style portrait pics for dialogues. I had to check the Resources forum when I woke up. :lol:

Enjay did something like that, IIRC.

Aha... but it is by Graphic State, who did a tech demo on a 3D engine, it was made in 2001, but the engine itself is 2000, a year before the GBA's proper release. They made three games, this, Dark Arena and a Crazy Taxi game.

A few years ago I had a nightmare where once an imp saw you, it could attack you absolutely anywhere by simply scratching at the air in front of it, as if you were there standing in front of it. I was freaked out so badly I woke up. I was afraid to touch doom for a month.
