Anyway, if someone caring about "accomplishments" gets in the way of you enjoying things casually as you always did it's your own problem.

If you don’t, then you don’t. It’s simple. Saveless runs, DSDA rewind, do what you want. You can also say that you play “saveless vanilla” while secretly quicksaving every second and no one can stop you. If people want to “get serious” they’ll just share demos and online playthroughs.

Doom the way id wouldn't, doing the opposite of Romero's design rules:
>Always changing floor height when I wanted to change floor textures.
Easy rule to break. Give rooms different floor textures all the time.
>Using special border textures between different wall segments and doorways.
Another easy one, just don't make wall trims.
>Being strict about texture alignment.
Yet another easy one, though I would argue breaking this rule often would result in a very amateurish and bad looking map regardless of the other rules.
>Conscious use of contrast everywhere in a level between light and dark areas, cramped and open areas.
No contrast of light and space will definitely stand out in the form of constant repetition. Would be hard to design a map that looks tolerable while breaking this rule.
>Making sure that if a player could see outside that they should be able to somehow get there.
Extremely devilish to break this rule. Tons of outside areas that look like they can be accessed but can't.
>Being strict about designing several secret areas on every level.
Spam secrets, put secrets inside of secrets, have secrets activate with seemingly random linedefs and switches. All types of fun to be had.
>Making my levels flow so the player will revisit areas several times so they will better understand the 3D space of the level.
Could easily break by just making a super linear level but would be boring. Hard to break otherwise.
>Creating easily recognizable landmarks in several places for easier navigation.
Broken by making rooms look very similar, enough said.

I would be extremely surprised if Alexander didn't playtest every level be beatable from Pistol Start, not just because that's widely been considered the standard for 28 years now, but because Alexander is a huge fan of Eternal Doom, drawing strong inspiration from it for Epic and Epic 2, Eternal Doom even being intended as Pistol Start only by many of its authors.

I just finished Descent 1.
All levels, including the secret ones, on Hotshot, continuous, without mid-level saving (only once, as soon as I enter a new map), tried to rescue all hostages but couldn't, tried to play without losing any lives but couldn't.
It's such a difficult game, but everything about is so memorable, the movement is top notch, the music is top notch, the enemy A.I. is top notch, especially for it's time (it's very primitive but it uses the level design well).
10/10, imagine calling Plutonia or Blood hard when this game exists.

Depends on your view of "modern game". I'd agree with Supplice playing very much like a "modern and modded megawad" and is otherwise old Doom-styled gameplay, less like what I'd expect out of a modern shooter. That Spelaco game looks like it's going to follow more modern FPS conventions, I'm hoping linear gameplay isn't one of them.

This is just a result of general skill evolution
Pinkies and spectres are easily defeated by stepping back, but they are still used to block player's movement.
Lost souls are kinda the same, but with stepping back being trickier. They are kinda annoying.
Computer area map and light amplification just kinda defeat the design ambition, while invisibility is actively detrimental when dealing with projectile monsters.

[Anonymous No.8449218]

When making a map, how do you design an encounter that puts the player in legitimate danger without resorting to encounters that feel "cheap"? Bonus points for pretending all enemies are melee/projectile-based and that hitscanners don't exist, because my game has no hitscanners.

It's probably more like Partial Invisibility was designed around the balance of Knee Deep in the Dead and not for when most enemies had projectiles. It works fine when most enemies in a given level are zombies, imps and pinkies.

Under vanilla constraints, yes. Ancient mods like Aliens TC had to take everything in the game and turn it into something else. Like >>8451648 says, if you're making a mod for newer engines like GZDoom or using the MBF21 format you can inject new assets into the game.

Doom 64. You can get it on PC now, even PS4, Switch, and XBone. There's even an older, free version of the PC port, Doom64EX, though it lacks the new bonus episode the rereleases have.

In case you're unfamiliar, Doom 64 was originally gonna be just another enhanced port, like Playstation Doom, but then the team at Midway got grander ideas, and they got the go-ahead from iD Software
>We could easily upgrade the engine some more, and a since we've already made couple of new levels, what if we made ALL new levels? Y'know, to make it more exclusive.
>Oh, and what if we did all new graphics too? We already have all new sounds, we could do our own takes on the guns and monsters!
>Sounds cool. Mm.
>Yeah, that'd be groovy, go ahead!

So what you have is a sort of Doom 2.5, still plays basically the same, much of what's under the hood is still the same, but with all new levels featuring scripted sequences to create more complex traps and puzzles, as well as an all new style and aesthetic. Lacks some stuff from the previous games, but it does try to do the most within its hardware restrictions, and the resulting game is quite a lot of fun. Highest difficulty suggested if you have any FPS experience.

For the base game, yeah, you can basically only alter existing things. There's some unused frames and actors which you can put to use, but not a whole lot, Doom didn't have all that much foresight when it came to modding, only really the provision for loading levels, and not in a convenient manner.

Really, Doom had very barebones means for this kind of stuff in the beginning. The original DoomED program was written and ran on NeXTSTEP work stations, along with the core build of Doom itself, Doom being intended as a product and thus adapted to its target home computers (and eventually consoles), but DoomED wasn't.
Instead, fans had to figure all of this out on their own, which took some time.
The very first (known) custom level for Doom was a square room made through hex editing, it didn't have any nodes built so it didn't even work. With times, people figured out usable software, one of the good early ones was DeepSea, which had a free demo that allowed you a limited amount of linedefs, but if you paid $30 you could get a full version. Still you had to get a separate program to build the nodes for your level, and early nodebuilders were slow, sometimes imprecise and error prone, easily tripped up by fine detail. It wasn't unusual for you to leave your level to have its nodes built, then you come back and see the nodebuilder had shat its pants, and you'd have to try again, probably alter whatever had defeated it so it didn't shit its pants more.

Doom Builder was such a fantastic tool, it made level editing a million times faster, easier, and more reliable.

[Anonymous No.8451947]

>>8451904
Now, for loading levels, either you loaded doom.wad like normal, OR, you loaded up myhouse.wad, and the game would crash at launch. That's because myhouse.wad only contained the data for the single level you made, and none of the other assets like the sprites, textures, palette, sounds, etc (except for those hilarious The Simpsons soundbytes you put in).

No, the original .exe doesn't let you load two .wad files at once, instead you had to get a third party program called DeuSFX, which would let you patch the new content in any new .wad onto doom.wad (and then revert doom.wad to its original state later when you wanted it to). This would lead to doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, and plutonia.wad to be referred to as "internal .wads" (iwads), and any usermade content as "patch .wads" (pwads), because you used one as a base and then patched new content onto it.

Doom 95, which shipped with Final Doom, was pretty rough around the edges in some ways, but one of its big features was that the launcher would let you actually load another .wad file on top of the base one without having to do any of that patching nonsense. Only one though.
John Carmack releasing the source code for Doom in 1997 really opened an incredible amount of doors, and would lead to many different sourceports, such as Boom. Being able to just load multiple .wads together would become a staple feature, and one nobody has regretted.<span class="fortune" style="color:#532dfc">

Vanilla could always load multiple wads like sourceports do. Every iwad lump can be replaced with a pwad but sprites in particular would require replacing every sprite in the game to prevent crashing.

For some time people thought the same was true for flats but you can get around it.

I love it for its sheer audacity in enemy placement. It really knows how to twist your nipples at the worst times.

it simply tells you to git good or go back to DOOM 64.
unless you get to the secret level,then no-one gets to live.

Would it involve generous amounts of dynamite throwing?
How the fuck did Blood make it so good?

It’s consistent, it explodes upon impact, and you can chuck it real far away.

Being able to charge the distance, and being able to pitch it up/down to affect the distance. Like you can look up so its thrown at a higher pitch. Or you can throw it at the ground (in bouncing mode) to make it slide a short distance.

i see no reason dynamite wouldn't be one of them

I would say that every retro shooter could be improved with a Blood dynamite-like throwable (if it doesn't already have one). You can't dispute this.
