@duskdev It’s interesting how much overlap there was between the original Doom/Quake mappers and Dungeons & Dragons authors. Play more D&D maybe?

@deepthaw @duskdev Given that the design philosophy for Wolfenstein 3D was traced back to a desire to recreate Ultima Underworld without the heavy RPG elements, I'd say it's certainly interesting, but also not the least bit surprising either :)

@duskdev Sometimes I have a grand idea and that helps. But sometimes I have to just throw stuff together until it starts making sense...

@duskdev it might help to play some other games for inspiration. Either that or just copy and paste your levels from pit into the game.

@duskdev do you doodle the experience previously?

Like storyboards according to a plan view?
