I decided to take a break from my other project and see what 2D features DBP actually has, so i'm creating a remake of my favourite game, Doom. It's not like the original doom but a side-scrolling shooter.

Done
WIP
Planned

Features :

Player
Simple Enemy
Enemy AI
Background

Let me know what you think, I'll release a simple tech demo soon if anyone wants to try it.

Here's a simple screenshot, I tried to cram it into one image simply because there isn't a whole lot to see yet.

Nice idea. I'd forgotten that old 3d games used sprites. I look forward to seeing how this goes.

Thanks.

Update -

Here's a simple video. It was over 600mb but winrar compressed it to about 1mb, I have no knowledge about file compression though.

Yeah, I had a 2.5gb MIS file the other day that went down to 9mb. Was a little surprised to say the least.

I thought this was going to be top down to be honest. I remember there was a game based on the Quake engine that did that. Well cool. Still, a side scrolling shooter with Doom graphics sounds well nice. Are you going to make it like Exolon? That would be cool.

Cheers

Top down would be easier in terms of programming but I would need to make more graphics, I'd prefer to stay with the original doom ones. And yes, it will (hopefully) be like Exolon.

Thanks for your comments

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but if anyone feels up to it, some sprite grids for this project would be very much appreciated. It's only a simple freeware project so I don't want to spend all my time on it.

Thanks
