Just how to curiosity i would like to try this has a side project. Does anyone know a engine that could be like doom (Duke 3D, Outlaws) that style .. 2D mixed with 3D.. But i wanna make a adventure game.. Maybe even with like balloon comic cartoon style dialogs.
Not 100% sure this the correct place for this question
Maybe Unity or Torque? (The latter was what POS used to make The Silver Lining.)
u think thats the easist i will get.. I wonder if it would be possible to import a doom map.. I remember the duke nukem map editors was so easy to use.. I would like just simple maps like that..
Why not make a Doom mod? The Doom source code has been released by ID.

There's also a long living ZDoom (http://zdoom.org) and GZDoom (http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom/) ports that run Doom-engine-based games on modern 3d graphic framework. They have a lot of features added, like extended Hexen-style scripts, scripts for declaring new types of objects and their behavior, etc. Both have open source IIRC, so could be modified to match one's need. I think that would be much easier than use plain old Doom's source.
I once was working on a Hexen total conversion (based on similar port called Vavoom). We had plans to make a turn-based RPG with that ;). We never did that (lack of developers, and finally lost interest), but I think it was pretty possible thing to do.
Doom maps may be edited by a very good and easy-to-use Doom Builder (http://www.doombuilder.com/) program. I used that a lot in previous years (got some kind of Doom nostalgia), and really enjoyed the process.
Ah Thanks thats sorta what i was looking for.. Something where wont be too hard to add my own gui and maps.. i really wanna give it ago sounds like a strange project.. That sounds sorta the engine they used on brutal doom the mod
What do you mean sorta like the engine? Brutal Doom is a Doom mod of course it uses the Doom engine.
Yeah you are right.. Well i decided i think i wanna use unity. Cause I have no idea how to change the Ai or Gui in doom..Was hoping to find a type of easy editor.
