Doom's 20th anniversary coming up, what should we do to celebrate?

[TerminusEst13]

There was a "20 Years of Doom" coop (?) project on the works, I wonder where that went?

Nowhere, that I'm aware of.


How about if we tried a basic progression of mods:

1994 mapsets > Dehacked weapons > Dehacked mapsets > early total conversions > Decorate enemies > Decorate weaponsets > ZDoom maps > GZDoom maps > massive game overhauls (class mods, gameplay changes, etc) > modern total conversions > Doom nowadays

[Yellowtail]

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea, but there's a slight problem with that... I think:

There aren't very many good total conversions out that that I know of. (Feel free to prove me wrong on this. I haven't seen a lot of them out there that are released)

[Guardsoul]

Ok, I´ll correct you. Those are 3, which I think, that are cool enough to show:

- Ultimate Super Doom 3 (by Doomero)
- LizzardSquad for GZDoom (by LizzardCommando)
- Hunters Moon (by Revilution)

There was a fourth one around there that was also pretty good, give me some time to search it.

[Yellowtail]

Ah yes, I've heard of two of them. (LizzardSquad, not so much) However, Ultimate Super Doom 3 I don't think is a total conversion last I checked, but rather a weapon replacement.

...Then again, I might be thinking of a lighter version of it, but I'm not entirely sure.

Also, now that I think about it, I don't think any of those those are of the "older" TCs.

Anyway, Doom Nowadays? As in, competition part? Or overall?
Also, about the older TCs, the Alien TC?

[Slyfox]

You forgot the most classic of map packs, 1337.wad man
but in all seriousness, what about a nightmare run through one of the Iwads, or some other map pack wad anyone else has in mind
[namely I just want it to be on nightmare]
Edit: I like that video idea as well

[Disguise]

Total Chaos even though it's not finished.

I was thinking if there is a video it should be similar to this:

Except instead of showing off players, it would be wads.

[darkstar64]

I agree with the showing off the wads. I'm not much of an editing professional, but I can record OpenGL Doom gameplay we can use.

[Catastrophe]

I can record openGL pretty easily, but I'm a mediocre video editor at best; perhaps someone else more talented could do it.

[W1D3A55]

I have Sony Vegas 11 on hand for editing. Haven't used it in months and my skills are a bit rusty, but i can definitely crap out a decent video if you want.

Edit: I can only record certain things in OpenGL (ie not wads that have 298340324 sectors of detail, including WDI, GvH, Chillax, KDIZD, etc.), so yeah don't even bother asking me.

[SyKoTiC]

Adobe After Effects here, I know my way around it. Gotta shake some dust, but i have used it recently for college.

[Yellowtail]

I have recorded some videos in the past, but they are not of the best quality (due to poor utilities).

[Slyfox]

If we're talking about video editing, I'd put ammar, or medicris on the spot for that [if they're willing]

I agree. None of that shitty dubstep ammar puts on his vids tho.

FNF, SNS and all events in one day!

I like that, in the morning a cooperative mapack for a lot of players and for the night a mapset of best DM maps

20 years ... my how time flies...

[AnalOpportunist]

Personally, I would love to play some oldschool DM/TeamDM map that day - Dwangos would be my preffered wads. I know how community feels about them, but fuck, celebrating the anniversary with generic new wad won't work for me - regardless how good this wad might be.
