ASCII graphics for Doom
Deathwind:
I forget, does doom handle exits to different locations?
Klear:
There are optional secret levels, so yeah, it can be done. The only question is whether there is some kind of limit to how many of those can be in a single episode.
But first things first... now I'm figuring out doors that don't close by themselves.
Edit: I'm making hallways just wide enough so that doomguy can't walk around a former human, but demons barely fit into those and some bigger enemies have absolutely no way to fit inside. I'm NOT looking forward to finding out whatever needs to be modded to make all the enemies smaller.
Edit 2: Also, second and third waves in the arena will probably have to be released by a switch. I doubt I'll be able to make it automatic. And there won't be a shambler/angel of death/lava elemental unless I get really bored and start scripting my own monsters.
Damn, at first I just wanted to switch some of the graphics, now it seems I'm looking at a total conversion. Oh well, it will be fun =)
Edit 3: The unchained court is finished. Damn, that level is hard without any extra weapons. How do you cornershoot in Doom?
Pricklyman:
There's cornershooting in Doom now?
QUICKLY, add a lean key, COD style... :D

If you feel like scripting, you can use ACS to give a small intermission, say ten seconds or so during which the player can collect weapons + ammo, then spawn more enemies.
If not, you could do it the awkward way, which involves lots of long tunnels and having enemy deaths cause lowering of floors. There's a reason it's called the awkward way.

Ever played Doom? If you're good, you can get Cybie's rockets to clip a pillar while still being able to shoot him with hitscan weapons.
