Exploring the DOOM Map Editor
Check out the video below created by Outside Xbox to see how DOOM game levels are created. Also, check out a gameplay stream of the DOOM single player campaign in our previous article.
Doom 2016 (previously known as Doom 4) has an extremely flexible map editor called SnapMap. It’s straightforward but extremely powerful if you’re prepared to master it. The most impressive maps so far include a music room, a Harvest Moon simulator, and a co-op story level. SnapMap allows players to create their own levels, game modes, and even entirely new gameplay experiences. This level of customization is unprecedented in the DOOM series and opens up endless possibilities for creative players.
Features and Capabilities of SnapMap
SnapMap is designed to be user-friendly, allowing even those with no prior experience in game design to create intricate and engaging levels. The editor includes a variety of pre-built modules that can be snapped together to form complex environments. These modules can be customized with different textures, lighting, and interactive elements to create unique gameplay experiences.
One of the standout features of SnapMap is its scripting capabilities. Players can use a visual scripting system to create custom game logic, such as enemy behaviors, mission objectives, and environmental interactions. This means that players can create not just new levels, but entirely new game modes. For example, you could create a survival mode where players must fend off waves of enemies, or a puzzle mode where players must solve challenges to progress.
Another exciting aspect of SnapMap is its community sharing features. Players can upload their creations to the SnapMap hub, where others can download and play them. This creates a vibrant community of creators and players, constantly adding new content to the game. Some of the most popular maps and modes can even be featured by Bethesda, giving creators a chance to showcase their work to a wider audience.
The potential for SnapMap is truly limitless. Imagine recreating classic DOOM levels with a modern twist, or designing entirely new experiences that push the boundaries of what DOOM can be. The editor’s flexibility and power mean that the only limit is your imagination.
