Project mention: Best way to get into classic Doom? | /r/Doom | 2023-05-14

The go-to granddaddy of making it more modern is probably GZDoom. For some reason I don't remember, I didn't get on with it as well for "real" doom, only the big mods. (https://www.zdoom.org) My personal favorite that adds just enough graphical/audio enhancements without fundamentally altering the game, is Doomsday Engine (https://dengine.net/)

#1-Stop using Drag and Drop to load things. It's a bad practice and will be a problem if you want to use more complicated mod setups beyond a single .wad/.pk3 file. Get a launcher like DoomLauncher. https://github.com/nstlaurent/DoomLauncher

• Obsidian

  12 145 0.0 Lua

  A community continuation of the OBLIGE Level Maker, originally by Andrew Apted, combined with ObAddon. (by obsidian-level-maker)

  

Project mention: Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-12

A search for "GZDoom" on Steam will show some different indie games that are using the engine, there are a few interesting ones.

A cursory youtube search brought up this random video with a wide variety of examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjnOdDzSxWs

There are also several versions of random level generators for Doom engine maps out there: https://obsidian-level-maker.github.io/

I can't remember the names but there are mods and games out there integrating the random level generators.

Of course the maps are still BSP and therefore somewhat constrained but the level of creativity in the mod community is pretty amazing.
