Lots of small lines are a recipe for weird visual problems, not to mention the dreaded visplane overflow, which can crash the vanilla engine. Still, I had to put at least one sector CD to represent Romero and Carmack's CD collection.
For many visual details, though, Dan Linton's "A Visit to id software" camcorder video from November 1993 was invaluable.
Fortunately, there's a good office layout in Fabien Sanglard's Game Engine Black Book for Doom, which helped enormously with laying down the basic linedefs. (Of course, almost any real life space has to be scaled a bit differently for Doomguy to comfortably run around in.)
One part of my recent Texas-themed Doom project I'm particularly proud of: recreating id software's iconic Mesquite offices in the original engine, with (mostly) stock textures from the game. What would the place Doom was made look like *in* Doom?🧵

Beyond thrilled that a project I led got a golden Cacoward at this year’s very special Cacowards—held on Doom’s 30th (!) birthday! Can’t wait to get back to my now-several WIP Doom projects in the new year.
