Level Type additions
« on: October 27, 2005, 05:35 »
Now that the floors of hell will be deeper'n'eva on a harder difficulty, why not more level types to enjoy on the way down (and limiting most type if played on a easier level).

Now I don't remember much of doom myself, because it's been a while so some support of some ideas will really be helpful(and I'm cheating by looking at a doom strategy guide).

Hell's jail type - Much I mention on the previous forum, it's not really a literal jail(from hell, heh) but monsters are in small rooms behind bars, shooting at you (which the impassible bars can be shown as a colon).

Chapel type - okey, my brain died at this point and I don't really know if their is such a thing.  But it's like a special level but the level is generated in a structured building.  (Oh god, it's a bad idea already).  But I was thinking about those nice dead trees I be seeing in the final part of doom.  Maybe just trees about and single room buildings about.

Void - this is my own.  Blank spaces are bottomless void.  To fall off into the void is by force (and not just walling into it).  So wielding a shotgun is recommended for quick work on grounded monsters.  Be prepared to run to solid ground when you see cacodemons floating over it and you are in a two space wide bridge-like platform }=).

That's all from me for now.

My, how I love such posts -- packed full of ideas :-).

Quoting: Zephyre Syx
Hell's jail type

Unfortunately the AI is too stupid to handle tiles that you can see/shoot through, and not walk through -- but after I redesin the AI it could be frustrating fun :-).

Quoting: Zephyre Syx
Chapel type

Kheh, like the City-type level with less buildings and adding tree's right? F***, the Dungeon Generator needs a rewrite too :-/

Quoting: Zephyre Syx
Void

This one I like the best :-D. Also needs an improved AI, but I wonder that if Doom would go the campaign way, this could be a transitional level type between different buildings in hell :-D

Hell's maze:

Like maze of rooms but a lot more confusing. No doors, just teleporters.

This could get annoying as... well, "Hell" :-P. I think a standard maze-type level would be more playable. My maze I mean, many twisted passages and no rooms :-).

Hmm Maze isn't really difficult with a healthy number of rockets, maybe add in an indestructable wall type?

Well think about it, how hard is a maze that you can demolish the walls of?

Toss a couple of imps in there and that maze quickle becomes a bunch of scattered corridors

Destroyable walls make the maze nothing but obstacle to break through with your rocket. If the walls can't be destroyed, then it gives the maze a goal in itself.

And how about the maze being unmapped?

Being unmapped as in the walls disappear when they're no longer in sight?  That could be very interesting, but perhaps make computer maps drop after all the enemies are cleared - otherwise some people might get stuck on it for too long (since you can only save and close the game when you're on the stairs).  You'll need quite a few maps, though.  So long as they can't be picked up it shouldn't be exploitable.

I'm afraid that might drasticaly reduce the pace of the game and get boring :-(
