for our New Years party i have made a doom map of our apartment for the party guests to deathmatch in

@jk

that's really cool! How did you make a doom map of your apartment?

@farooqkz @jk Doom is one of the easiest non-tile-based FPS games (conceptually) to make custom maps for, once you understand the technical limitations of the engine. https://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/utils/editors.php can hook you up.

@jk deathmatching the way god intended
@Nine null modem cable
@jk Awwww hell yeah I remember those :D :D :D
@jk That looks fantastic, it'd be cool to release it but then again there's the privacy issue; wouldn't want strangers looking around my place even in low-poly form.
@jk The perfect map for conditioning yourself to burst out of the bathroom, in real life, and check your corners, to the stunned, wide-eyed faces of your loved ones.

Both are showing Doom games in progress, and the map does indeed appear to be an apartment. The paper sign above the computers calls it a "New Year's Eve Interactive Multiplayer Experience."]

@jk I knew someone that got expelled when we were in high school for making a CS:S map of the school. Basically crushed his dreams of doing game design.
@ardouglass @jk They should have given him an award!
@whybird @jk it was really well done but also it was in 2007 back when people kind of cared about school shootings.
@ardouglass @jk Hm, I sort of see where they were coming from, but they were still wrong.
@jk That is really cool. :)
@jk now you just need to make it so you can play Doom on the computers in the game a la https://youtu.be/c6hnQ1RKhbo
You can run Doom inside (DOS) Doom, for real.

@jk I remember a whole series of Half Life maps that were various rooms, but scaled as if the players were only inches tall.
@jk I haven't made a custom level matching my home in 20-something years, I need to get on that.
@jk MyApartment.pk3?

@jk

i made a recreation of a local gamedev space in vkdoom!

the "new-year's time doom map based on a real space" genre is on the rise!
