    Publishing the source code was one of the best decisions ever made. This is a way to keep the game alive and active forever, else the activity would have subdued over time.

      Totally.
      Doom, Doom II was awesome in its prime but...stock maps are stock. The user Wads and megawads and mods, yea it kept the game going!
      I think for 17 years straight now, 'ive played through atleast 1 megawad every year atleast.
      Too bad the multiplayer is sucky, playerbase i mean in Doomseeker, everybody is playing some damn Megaman mod, nobody are on the awesome DM maps.
      Not too long ago, well 7 years ago, i was playing Whodunit, Dead by Daylight in Doom form.
      A Command & Conquer mod was awesome, but it needs people!

      @@Jay_SullivanYou couldn't be more wrong, 'cause the license for the Doom source states that you need to have the original game to run your version of the Doom engine. Without the original game, checked via well known .wad files, you are on illegal territory. Unless you do a separate licensing. This way they keep up the sales up for 30 years now. Same goes for Quake source code. That is the other side of the coin, literally, which I left out mentioning.

      As for "other companies": I never denied that. Especially when looking into the half-life direction, even though Vavle extended the capabilities enormously, like ragdoll-style control of characters instead of vertex-controlled animations.
      As for "kid": I experienced the Atari 2600 when it was new, so your time must be 'round when "Colossus" was newest to crack Enigma.

    Haha, "got into networking/IT because of Doom", 100%. I went from the guy that always got invited to LAN parties (to make the computers talk to each other) to setting up networks across 10k acre offices and factories on 3 continents, even on an oil rig. It's wasn't just Doom but that was certainly where it started. Half Life is where my networking skills really kicked into high gear. As if that wasn't enough, Doom also started a lifetime passion/hobby in modding games, from maps and textures in Wolf 3d and Doom to remaking and replacing character models in my favorite, now outdated, games.
    Thank you guys, I have had so many adventures in my life thanks to your games, stories to tell, friends to treasure and memories to hold onto for a lifetime.

    I've always had a clever way to run DOOM on every computer/game device I've ever owned and it's always a treat to find unique ways to play this timeless game. As a teenager, I never experienced DOOM until my dad bought the collectors edition of DOOM 3 for xbox which had the classic games with master levels. It wasnt until I started playing custom levels and TC mods on a PSP source port of all things. I remember sending an email to Romero himself about playing on the psp and he responded the next day to my shock. DOOM was the game that catapulted modding games as an extension of my hobby.

  • @0neDoomedSpaceMarine
    @0neDoomedSpaceMarine Před 5 měsíci +9

    I really think that the overall ease of making levels is one of the major components as to why Doom has endured, especially with the advent of the efficient and userfriendly Doom Builder programs, and better node builders, which makes it an absolute breeze to make Doom levels.
    You look at a game like Duke Nukem 3D, and I love it, it's one of my favorites, but making levels for the Build engine is just nowhere near as easy, it exists in this twilight between Doom's fairly simple and straightforward "2.5D" and a full fledged 3D engine like Quake's, so a lot of what you'd want to do requires a lot of fiddling, like stacking sectors and all that kind of stuff.
    If you want to do an underwater section you make that an entire separate area somewhere else in the level which given surface areas connect to (and need to match), and this works pretty well, but there's limits to this. For instance, like shooting a rocket from the water and up into the air, and you hear the kaboom coming from like, southwest or something, where that location actually physically is, rather from where you'd expect.
    Compare to Quake, where you'll just shape out the location and then you just add the water, you don't need any tricks like that.
    If you learn how to do all that, how Build works and how you can build levels for it, you can make some absolutely _phenomenal_ stuff with it, Ion Fury is a relatively recent example of all kinds of flashy things Build can do, but it's not easy and straightforward like Doom, there's a steeper learning curve which only a fraction of people are willing to engage with, so regrettably, great classics like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood barely have any custom content at all compared to Doom.

    I have very vivid and unique memories of playing each of the major Id games.
    My brother would bring me to his college and let me play games on a computer in his honor's program's computer room. I played Wolfenstein 3D for hours. I was a Castle Wolfenstein fan--and playing its successor in 3D was amazing. I remember my brother teaching me about following the left or right wall in order to find my way out of a maze.
    With Doom, I lived on a military base in these tiny duplexes. Both my dad and my friend's dad had to stick their computers in very cramped closets. I remember playing at my friend's house--the closet got so hot from the computer. We kept the door open so we could both watch the game while we played--some of us from out in the hall. I don't recall being blown away by the graphics, but the music was great and it had great atmosphere (where the graphics probably had a big part). I remember trying to make levels with my friends--it was difficult to get the floor & ceiling heights correct and sensible.
    I remember when a math teacher brought his computer to school and showed the class a newly released game called Quake on his room's projector. It blew me away--we could run smooth 3D graphics on home computer!? Not too long afterwards my dad helped me assemble my first own 8086 based computer and he ran a coaxial network throughout the house. That's when I first started playing networked games, mostly with my dad. I remember it felt easier to make levels for Quake. But very important to me was the availability of QuakeC--which I first tried to learn before I had learned C. I recently played Quake with multiplayer co-op enabled; the first time I died in game, I got an immediate & very emotional memory of playing it with my dad.
