Looks great,
are there more areas yet to cr(e)ate?

Yeah he still has e1m2 through to e4m9 to do. 

I've never played Doom anyway.

But, does that mean no crates? 

 

It's just e1m1... I had considered putting some other stuff in there, but I decided against it, felt it wouldn't be right. It's ultimately a pretty short and sweet map, 5 mins if you spent time finding the secrets. Which you might want to do if you want to survive hard...

And yes, I managed to make a base map without any crates... unless you count the explosive boxes. 

 

Wait, wait, everyone, hang on ...

"I've never played Doom anyway."

We're just going to let that go? 

My brain blocked it. As much as it blocks your new nick. :) 

Unless those 20 minutes me of me waffling around in MAP30 with cheats counts. 

the baseman. Looks great, and with AD it will play great. 

I know people who haven't played doom... haven't watched star wars or indiana jones...

It's a dangerous world out there full of scary people. 

I did watch Indiana Jones. Public opinion dictates that I should have hated 4, though, which I didn't. 

I have played Dyna Blaster a lot. I could play Wolf 3d at school but it was not approved at home. There was no chance for Doom either, so I continued with DB.

Then, on a summer holiday I got introduced to Quake.
It was the full step from full 2d to full 3d.

More than a decade later I said 'let's shoot some'.
I remembered Quake however I never got past e1m4 before: the drop down to the gold key in e1m3 with the zombies and the ogre guarding the silver key in e1m4 were enough to make me start playing Quake in 2010. 

Watched a mate play it but Quake was my first gaming experience. 

You're all so young. 

I started with Doom 2. I had played the shareware Doom, but you couldn't buy the full game in stores, only mail order. Doom 2 had just come out, so that's where I started mapping. I remember clearly my first one room map, four walls, a double barrel shotgun and an imp. The ceiling was apparently the same height as the floor, so I could'nt move to pick up the gun and the imp killed me. I was hooked. 

Was shown Doom and Quake at the exact same time. '96 or '97 (just before Quake 2)

Saw Doom, thought "cool". Saw Quake, thought "HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS".

Immediately forgot about Doom and never played it myself until about 2000 or so. 

I often feel slightly alien in my exposure to games, especially on pc... I actually don't remember a time were videogames weren't part of my existence. I've played everything that id software made as it came out and each successive id game blew me out of the water. 

doom was my favourite over quake until like 98 or early 99... quake was awesome, but it felt slower than doom. plus hordes. 

I played Ultimate Doom a ton and Heretic as well, even started crappily mapping for Doom, then Quake came out. The open levels that Doom and Heretic had were something that I missed in Quake and Hexen II.

Yes! This is why I didn't really switch over right away! 

The first videogame I ever played wasn't even electronic. It was an arcade machine in 1975, a periscope where you try to torpedo the passing boats. The periscope had lens, but the boats were little cardboard shapes, the sea was a series of parallel lanes, the torpedo was a red led crossing the lanes, the sinking effect was a red lightning on the horizon.

I loved that machine. I was too little, my father had to lift me to play. 

Sorry for the digression, but the arcade is still there:
