Was it, ultimately, a watershed moment for Doom?
People who think this is the greatest thing ever done with Doom are the same people who think Skinamarink is a good horror film.
>>12036889I think it's cool, though it's really more it's own thing that uses Doom as a base. The playstyle and goals are more akin to an adventure game than a normal Doom level, and I don't think anybody has praised it for its clever combat scenarios and enemy usage.
Watershed influx of normies sure
The love of jank horror fake meme stuff is "content creator" bait, right? Reaction based gaming, so to speak.
a doom house?
>>12036910Expand on that.
>>12036889Tolo-pilled
>>12036925No.
>Release March 3, 2023not retro
>>12036874I dare you post this in the Doom thread
I didn't bother looking into anything on this mod because it looked gay and stupid and everyone who brought it up and gushed about it were gay and stupid, so I assume it's just gay and stupid. Just like classic doom "fans" who can't enjoy anything classic doom related without brutal.
>>12036925Not him, but I assume he means content that is made with the express purpose of being played, reacted to, and analyzed by YouTubers and streamers. As in, the goal is less for Doomers to play and be amazed by, but rather for some 25-40 year olds to get scared by and sőyface over on camera, or make 45 minute video essays with titles like "myhouse.wad - the perfect Doom WAD" or "myhouse.wad is a beautiful depiction of depression and loss" or "The myhouse.wad Iceberg Explained"
>>12036942>"myhouse.wad - the perfect Doom WAD" or "myhouse.wad is a beautiful depiction of depression and loss" or "The myhouse.wad Iceberg Explained"kek I can't tell if you made those up or if you're quoting them verbatim.
>>12036924>Doom house 3 never ever
>>12036910nah, youtubers only started noticing like 2 months after it came out, after everything in the wad had already been documented and datamined
>>12036947Apparently I was understating things>1 hour and 42 minutes
>>12036942It's like meta-squared content creation. Creation for the secondhand experience. Art as a project to produce a reaction to the production of art.The recursive rabbit hole of consciousness sped up by mass communication induced voyeurism.
>>12036952that video won a BAFTA in bongland
>>12036949Wow, a whole two months.I'm not picking on this wad specifically, there's like countless meta "retro" horror games.
>>12036874No, it was just a cool one off thing but it didn't really have any greater effects.
>>12036953Quite fascinating, reminds me of sad satan and how it was "discovered"
>>12036941ok prboomer
>>12036995Yes, good example. Let's plays and streaming changed games. The interplay of Audience and Developer had a third party introduced who leads to attention and/or sales, the "Content" Creator. leading to games as kayfabe.
>>12036941The lamest faggots glaze this mod so I avoid it like the plague.
>>12036874This mod is pure condensed leddit.
>>12037019It's the ultimate cuckoldry>be a game maker, involved in literally any part of gamedev >develop skills for years>pour your heart into game>cross your fingers and hope some WHAT'S UP GUUUYS douchebag on YouTube plays your game>the success of your game can hinge on what he thinks of it>no matter what he says, he will probably make more money off of his lazy 10 minute video of playing your game than you got for your countless hours of development time
surprised a bunch of chuds haven't just drowned this thread in trash considering the story is about a gay trans man who had a miscarriage
>>12036874This is just Gone Home but instead of only disrespecting the concept of a video game in general it disrespects Doom in particular. Both are mega turbo gay and so are you for making this thread.
>>12037450is that a euphemism for he accidentally killed a baby? men can't have miscarriages, not even the funny loss man
>>12037467he had a miscarriage before he transitioned.
>>12036874>Baby's first experience with silent teleports>OMG LE HOUSE LE CHANGED!>OMG LE HECKIN' DOGGO!>OMG GAYS!It was shit, almost as bad as brutal doom
>>12037450>t. C.H.U.D.
>>12037465How does one disrespect DooM
Just watched a video about it and apparently it's about the horrors of gay faggots not being able to buttfuck each other
>>12036874No. It was fairly well made overall and it got attention (and actually earned it, unlike certain crap), but in terms of Doom content there's nothing really revolutionary about it.It's a high effort work which had the right kind of themes for zoomers to latch onto (especially gay ones), and it got picked up by the algorithm.It's already kind of forgotten about by most people, and it hasn't had that much direct influence on mapping and modding, but kinda like Brutal Doom did back in the day, it drew in a wave of new blood, which is ultimately helpful for overall community longevity.>>12036910In the sense that this is a style of horror which younger generations is very receptive too, yes.>>12036934Already been discussed to death there. My personal sentiment is repeated a lot by others.>>12036941>>12037393There are some gay themes, yes. A really short and dumbed down summary of MyHouse is if someone looked at Gone Home and thought >"... but what if I did something kinda like that, but I made it like an actual videogame with real gameplay? And if I put some actual effort into it too?"Unless you're a fag, you won't relate to all of its themes, but it actually has merits beyond that.
>>12036889Don't compare MyHouse to that trash.
>>12036952This house should have been TERRYfying. seriously, imagine this WAD ending with a terry trap lol
>>12036947Generic zoomer influencer lingo is very formulaic and predictable.>>12036952lmao
I think it was neat.>>12037450I thought the reveal wasn't that they were gay lovers, but rather that Tom and Steve were the same person and that's why they're the exact same age and died the same day.
>>12036934It got discussed to death in the Doom threads on release and the common sentiment seemed to be "yeah it's pretty good but once you've gotten the true ending there's nothing else to see in it"
>>12038204>got picked up by the algorithmI think the dev tailored it to the algorithm and the zeitgeist. It's a very self-conscious process that a lot of these guys are undertaking, like volunteering for the CV buffs.
