Interview With A Doomer
We have an interview with Jive of Doom Legacy Wads. The man of many wads was kind enough to answer some questions that I put to him only his answers were in french. So we have to thank Harry of Harry's Doom Planet.
Another Level Redesign
Chris from The Doomers Recess was also unhappy about one of his maps and had this to sayI took a look at an already finished map for my 'CH Retro' project and realized that it contained some minor errors and ugly stuff of all sorts. It ended up with me sitting through an entire afternoon fine-tuning a map which I thought was completed and ready for the final map compiling some time in the future. There was a lot of things wrong with this map, and deep down inside I still feel that despite its clear strengths, it'll never be my favorite map. There are also some shots of the new design.

Room On The Left
The Room On The Left has announced that Catacombs.wad is now officially The Portal Of Hades, which is the first level in their new doom episode based around the Greek mythological Underworld. It will require jDoom when done and will contain about 10 levels.
Why? Because it is
Why is a new Doom level editor from Jussi Pakkanen. The editor only runs under Linux although Jussi says it is theoretically possible and he will look into it as the full release gets closer. He does also state that this version is by no means stable so don't us it on anything importent at the moment.
City Of id
That is the title of the latest track from Jamie Robertson. The track is a mix of Quake/3 and Doom 2. Best of all its free. Also Jamie says to keep watching for DOOM Millennium: The Last Sunset which is coming this summer.
KickStarting jDoom
Jaakko 'skyJake' Keränen has released a new beta version of jDoom. As this version features several significant changes, perhaps it's best to let skyJake do the explaining:If you're having problems with KickStart, first try downloading the Visual Basic runtime support files from the jDoom Files page. If that doesn't help, you can always start the game using e.g. a DOS batch file. The following should work (Run\jDoom\Play.bat):
@..\..\bin\doomsday -game ..\..\bin\jdoom.dll
-gl ..\..\bin\dropengl.dll -basedir ..\.. -file
(All that on one line) Got all that? Good! Head to the jDoom site for more info and the download!

Im the new face... erm Character arrangement, here on NewDoom. (Hi everyone!) To start on a good note, I have some classic, and I mean REAL classic Doom1 levels for all you Doom1 diehards. These level are classic cause I built them when Doom was still on the leading edge, and I have them all in tact. I'll be hosting them right here on the coolest Doom site on the net... That would be NewDoom and no other. The maps themselves could be of the toughest Doom1 maps you'll ever play. Alot of Hexen-like difficulty and you'll feel asif you are playing Doom2 and not tame old Doom1. I hope to have a great time keeping you on the edge of classic Doom news aswell as Doom3 related stuff aswell as level design discussions.
Goldeneye Doom
Goldeneye Doom2 has updated with some updated zip files. Here to explain it all is Derek:For all of you, that are running non-deh or non-ddf ports. The oge64levs.zip level pack has been updated to the match the graphic detail of the ge64levs.zip. Users of: doom2.exe(original) and Jdoom will want this. Also those of you running Doom1 or UD, you can now download the new level pack of ge64doom.zip. Thank you, Derek.
