About the Project
This Doom 2 map pack was made in collaboration with 3 other classmates using the GZDoom editor. We were tasked with selecting any modable game, pitching an original mod, and then completing it over the course of a semester.
My personal contributions included designing, implementing, and iterating on two maps: The Shores of Greater Evil, the first custom map in our pack, and It, the first custom boss fight in our pack.
I had never played Doom nor used the GZDoom editor before. It made for quite an enjoyable challenge. Lots of research and testing was required to get to get the right feel for the levels.
Our group was able to finish early and devoted extra time to polishing. Our final grade was an A.
