Description : It's not easy to explain what is this
all about. Well,. right the moment you
are reading this, a nomonster version
of this WAD will have already been presented
through an LMP as a wild demo at the
Pixelshow demoparty. By running the batch
file inside the bonus folder (provided that
all these files are in your Zdoom directory)
you will see how exactly it was presented at
the party. Then again, I thought it would be
a good idea to fill these maps with monsters
to make it playable for Doom freaks. So I also
edited doomonstration_game.wad for you.
Trying to be as brief as possible, a demoparty
is a computer gathering for demoscene geeks.
Demoscene is a community of geeks,
coding graphics algorithms, drawing
pictures and composing music in our computers.
A demo is a combination of all these three
forms (Check www.pouet.net for some of them)
Normally, the main rule about demos is that
they should be realtime graphic demonstrations
coded in any programming language availiable.
This LMP/WAD combinations isn't applying for that!
Except from the demo compo however, there is a
wild demo compo at many demoparties, where
there are no rules and you can release anything
crazy or obscure at the stage (we have seen
videos, 3d animations, mobile and mini pockemon
demos, demos on selfmade hardware, even shows on
the stage, either funny or serious stuff involved.)
And then I have thought, it would be a good idea
to add one more obscure platform in those wild
competitions. Doom itself :)
There are some cool stuff like 2d and 3d stars,
plasma effects and texture warping inside.
These effects are famous in oldschool demos, there
are also inside scene jokes and a building of the
university of Patras where the greek demoparties
Gardening, ReAct and Pixelshow took place.
I had more wild ideas for this presentation, but I
had to finish it right here, for the deadline of
the party is too close and I must also finish
some OpenGL code for a regular demo. Expect also
a more serious Doom2 WAD which is in the workings..
