SC: How long did it take you to complete this beast of a megawad?
Why is it called doom vfr mod#
My first mod was very rough around the edges because of how labyrinth-y and confusing it was for playtesters, but it was a good learning experience and I continued to improve my skills until 2016, when I felt I was ready to do a full megawad which eventually became DOOM Zero. SC: How long have you been making DOOM mods/levels?
Why is it called doom vfr mods#
I'm not currently working on a new mod because I'm now putting in all of my time working on a new game that I think those that enjoyed my previous mods will like. It’s a lot fun and while it generally doesn’t pay the bills, I was able to form a game company with a very experienced programmer. Modding was the closest thing I could do to making my own game. GC: I tried to make a game all by myself but I find programming to be tedious and exhausting. SC: What got you into DOOM modding in the first place?

Not long after, I figured out how to hook up 2 machines via a parallel cable (not even ethernet) and spent many days playing co-op and deathmatch with a friend when he brought over his 486 PC. GC: I’m one of the lucky ones that played the first game back when it was relatively new, although I had to play it on someone else’s computer because I didn't have a PC that was capable of running it until a few years later, when I got a hand-me-down 486 from an uncle. SC: What was your first experience with DOOM? Many have said those elements don't work in a first person shooter, but I think the recent DOOM games and Valve's Portal series tell us otherwise. I wanted to combine my love for non-cryptic puzzle solving and platforming with DOOM's fun combat. Although I found the combat to be the worst part of those games, I still enjoyed them because of their puzzles and platforming. SLAYERS CLUB: What was your main inspiration for DOOM Zero?ĬHRISTOPHER GOLDEN: When I was a kid, and even as an adult, I enjoyed playing titles like the first Tomb Raider, the DOS version of Prince of Persia and King's Quest: Mask of Eternity. We got some time to talk shop with Golden about DOOM Zero, modding and game design in our exclusive Slayers Club interview below. The time has come for DOOM aficionados to enjoy another new Add-On for our re-releases of DOOM (1993) and DOOM II: DOOM Zero! This mighty megawad, created to commemorate the 25th anniversary of DOOM II, was created by Christopher Golden, a 35-year-old modder from Krugersdorp, South Africa who helmed this project solo(!)
