Ever try Cthangband?  Its pretty good and you probably would like it.

Hmm Kornel could make a new difficulty, old school Nightmare!, pretty much the same thing as DoomRL Nightmare! except all enemies move insanely fast. :P  Could even call it Pray to God or something like that.

And shoot three times instead of one

Dervis:

--- Quote ---However the idea of designing new episodes/unique levels intrigues me -- could you expand on that with detail? (how it would be choosen, loaded, integrated with scores, etc...)
--- End quote ---
I don't know how you got your DoomRL unique levels sorted out, so i don't know how feasible this would be.

Anyway the concept would be:
- Start menu option : "Select Episode"
- On that menu would appear a list with the possible episodes. (from an .ini/.cfg file if not automatic)
- Selecting an episode would cause:
   - A different player.dat/score.dat would be used.
   - All Unique levels (including start level) would be read from an external 'wad' file (overriding regular ones).
(Optional)
   - Custom designed ranks.
   - Custom designed challenges.
   - Custom items.
(/optional)
Of course, a very important part of this would be to design an user friendly tool to create and compile the maps files.


Now for the fun part :P:
Map idea (Lvl 8-12ish):
"The Undercaves"
Lots of water on the right side, with the ocasional acid pool.
RL on the middle, shells and rockets all over the place.
Invulnerability Globe, 1 large med-pack, 1 phase device on the left
Advanced Double Shotgun, Red Armor, damage mod, reload mod on the right.

Kg:
Lol, that's soo bad! Nice! :D

Kornel Kisielewicz:
I see. But it seems you meant custom epizodes not custom special levels :).

Kg:
Or maybe something like special 'challenge levels'? Your goal is just to complete the level, so you have to choose your tactic wisely, like for example a bunch of monsters on one side (just enough to gain a level) and you have to kill them without being hit, and then choose Hellruner to be able to cross the lava running with minimum hp left (and you'd have to know where exactly start running on lava because on other side there is a wall with 1 door) :D
