Considering how long it took to make, what?, 10 maps... I don't want to know how long 32 maps will take

I wouldn't mind drawing little sprites for here and there. Since you can have limitless new objects with decorate, I love adding little stuff like a red stapler on a desk, personalized coffee mugs places... little stuff I can draw in a couple minutes and adds alot of personality.

But whatever, I don't do any mapping, or texture work really since I am constrained to just weekends what with school. It's up to you if you want anything like that.

It's you call Torm.

I say those little things could speed up the production. I say - yes for Scuba Steve.

Zdoom is knee deep in the.

I would just like to point out to Curu that Tormentor said the following after he mentioned that there will be a new secret forum for the developers: "Well, just imagine you know every single secret and specification about KDiZD, wouldn't it be just half the fun?! We do this secret final developement not for ourselves, it's just for you gamers!". That's good enough for me. I'm still not entirely happy either (about not being able to read dev. info), but whatever. Time to move on.

And this thread doesn't have to die. People could still discuss KDIZD (or the future versions) here. Also, I think this would be a good place to gather beta testers....

The thing is, remember those possible legal problems Risen pointed out? While ID might be okay with shareware being modified, they probably wouldn't be so happy about us altering a commercial release.

On the other hand, Raven doesn't seem to mind what people do with their old games, so improved Heretic episodes or Hexen hubs are a definite possibility.

Well that still shouldn't scare people away. I mean if this episode has taught the KDIZD team anything, it's that asking permission first is better than finding out later that all the hard work that's been put into remaking an episode may have to be deleted and never spoken of again because it might be illegal. To alter the condom saying a little, "It's better to have permission and not need it than to need permission and not have it.".

Heh, who wants to start talking about TSOZ? (The Shores of Zdoom)

I do. And in fact I think I may want to be a part of the detailing team as well if I have the time for it this summer.

Little request from Tormi: Consider a Episode 1 remake of Heretic

Much more fun!

Now that is a Freudian slip if I ever did see one!

Maybe we should complete all the Doom episodes first, THEN get to Heretic.

I like this suggestion, but from what I've read around these forums there are very few heretic fans around. Might be harder to get a team together for this....
Maybe the next uber-project should work on making level from scratch as opposed to remaking original episode. We can all see how well this project was put together and managed, so why not do the same for new original levels?

I'm guessing you meant 'common', and I assume you know what a 'condom' is...
