You should try Doom Builder sometime (or rather GZDoom Builder, which is one of its more modern "branches").

Making classic Doom levels is literally as easy as drawing on graph paper. Since the levels aren't true 3D (no floor-over-floor unless you use special techniques), all you're really doing is drawing a bunch of lines. Doom Builder is smart enough to turn closed shapes into rooms/sectors, so the workflow is a breeze. The best part is "Visual Mode" which lets you fly around your map in 3D and edit certain things (like textures, lighting, and floor/ceiling heights) on-the-fly.


I'd go as far as to argue Doom Builder is one of the best, most intuitive level editors in existence. It's even the same editor John Romero used to make Sigil!

OK that looks fuckin awesome

Are the new games filled with monsters?

The classic game is non stop action with like 200 monsters per map

Or is there long boring non-actiony moments as modern games can't fit that many monsters into play

There are quiet moments as you traverse between areas. There are MANY moments where you are still on mars where you are forced to kill every enemy before you can leave the area. And the game POURS them on in these areas. This is definitley focused on action. When you stun an enemy,it give an oppurtunity to GLORY KILL the enemy which will give some health/ammo back when there is none. This encourages total agression rather than avoiding battle,as you run out of ammo and energy really fast in this game. Also all the enemies can leap to wherever you are,or hit you w projectiles from anywhere so you cant really hide from them. There are times when you dont have the firepower to deal with them and are trying to create space to gain time,and maybe find ammo,and they just pursue you. Some of them are fucking relentless.

I timestamped this vid for a taste of Hell

Oh yeah I played em all

After I do all of Doom 2 pistol starts I think I'll attempt TNT & Plutonia

Plutonia is great fun and that big super city is epic and makes the Downtown map of DOOM2 look like a small village

EDIT - Plutionia 2 whoops - no never tried that yet hah hah
