Doom - have you played it?

General

First time ever played Doom on Apple silicon today, I’m impressed how easy it was setup

Legally purchased from GOG -4.05$ only Doom 1 + Doom 2 ( you get all those versions below)

The engine is open sourced - only game is required to play ( extracted with Innoextract ) pasted .wad data into app support folder and happy days it runs like dreams.

I’m just writing this post as pricing is really good, and it’s nice CS project to look into as well.

Also on GOG you get manual, and Doom bible :slight_smile:

It was one of the first games you could network 3 PCs together and set 1 screen for the left, one for the center and one for the right. So you could actually see all directions except backwards.

I’ve “played” Doom for almost 25 years now (my father let me play it when I was 4 to 5 years old), but I only got active in the Doom community starting from 2015. I regularly play custom WADs and you may find me on Zandronum/Odamex servers online :slight_smile:

I also have some contributions merged in various source ports, most notably GZDoom (now UZDoom).

It’s also free to claim on Prime Gaming until October 14th, by the way (it’s a GOG key).

Did anybody try to live code Doom in Godot?

I guess the major problem is to redraw assets from scratch to avoid dealing with G-Man people.

It’s possible, see this repository which can load maps and lets you run around them:
