As someone who wants to mod Doom but is easily intimidated and put-off, I really appreciate these tutorials. There's often a presumption of basic knowledge when one asks the experts on DW et cetera. Thanks for giving us that 'basic' knowledge. :)

Thanks for the know-how man!" I haven't been modding Doom long, I started moding doom roughly over 4 months now and I've been hooked, so much fun and stupid easy once you get started!"

Nice, I just ran into the problem of trying to put a moon in a custom skybox so this is immensely helpful. Thanks much!

That Mr. Smiley Hits Safari MIDI at the start hit me with a nostalgia blast, overall great and useful tutorial.

Man I was wondering if this was possible in vanilla doom. Surprised to hear that it is. Thanks for the tutorial!

[DukeWooze]

It's good that you mentioned some of the little quirks with slade. Man I can't tell you how much work I lost one time not saving properly.

I watched this video when it came out but I just now got around to getting on my PC to comment:

I really appreciate all these basic modding tutorials. I started with UDMF because it was so easy and I was intimidated by the restrictions/technical requirements vanilla/Boom/etc. had with regard to things like file structure. Your tutorials bring a lot of it more down to earth and make it a lot easier!

Awesome! I’ve never created a doom map before but this is interesting to watch. Gives me a lot of respect for people who take the time to make some of these maps. Especially the giant Goliath maps out there with tons of detail. Rock on! 🤘🏻

Doomkid's videos have been the single most helpful resource that I've found for my doom mapping. Thank you!

[GameplayandTalk]

Nice moon, dude! Also, super helpful. Thanks a lot!

[PeccatumMihzamiz]

Thanks for the video! Didn't know some of this stuff yet and I'll be putting it to good use!

[johndoe]

Wow, that was pretty interesting and presented really well. Also, love that the file icon was a duck lol. I started uploading videos of my rescued duckling. Its getting so big lol. Hope things are going well over your way.

This kind of innovation is always great reminds me of a wad I am working on where I am hijacking the keen assets and setting up crusher rooms to create a mini objective.

This sky trick will be remembered ^.^

Thankfully as my target ports are gzdoom and jdoom I have a few other bits from their shared boom layer.

Another nice video for good ol' Doomkid. I remember I wanted to make a sky out of a Mars screenshot I made from Universe Sandbox 2, so I guess I'll try it out now. Hopefully editing the color palette and image quality won't be too too hard.

[hrnekbezucha]

Awesome, I had no idea vanilla can render that! Also the recolouring is pretty darn cool. I'm gonna abuse that.

[Cynidecia]

absolute lad, gonna be useful for me.

[dustyrhodes]

Immensely helpful as usual bud. Always loved this effect in the various Team TNT wads (especially Pursuit DM) but was never sure how to recreate it. I'll be looking forward to using this.

[AxelStone]

I already know how to make custom skies, I'm just here to support classic doom content. lol

[brunosimini]

Thank you! I actually used this tutorial to make blue demons, but it has been helpful anyway!
