The void of the doom map

Recommended Posts

(not a creepypasta btw just a thought) (+The song mentioned on the thread was on loop so you don't get confused)

I was mapping today while the portal 2 soundtrack was playing in the background, i got bored and before i even drew the first square i scrolled as back as i could to see the infinite plain of the UDB mapping area, i was listening to "The future starts with you" of the portal ost,

---THOUGHT IN 5 MIN OF THINKING---

but when that was playing and the infinite void was infront of me i just started to think, a doom map fully empty, no midi, no guns, just a infinite void, it was terrifying

i was thinking the thought of what happens when you pass the lines that cut the grid of the map to the DOOM MAP VOID

and what lies beyond the void, is there anything there? will the engine crash? Are you alone? is there one imp lying dead there? 

and if i go further in, will something change? udb does not let me go beyond the grid, while it may be just nothing for as far as the eye can see

the brain can trick your senses of boredom into seeing things, or even if you do not see things, the thought of being alone, no music, no monsters, no ammo, nothing in a doom map forever wandering the doom map void scares me

---THOUGHT IN 12 MIN OF THINKING---

The thought of the monsters in any classic doom map staying motionless forever, as the universe had its heat death and only one computer is left,

and doomguy is billions or quadrillions of mapunits away from the map is terrifying, it makes me feel dread, just not the monsters being alive, just being an ai, and doomguy just being alone in the void. is just insane

---THOUGHT IN 15-20 MIN OF THINKING---

I was at this point just laying infront of my screen while udb was running, i just wanted to know if it was possible to get OUT, and go for as long as the game can handle, as far as any sourceport can handle, how far can we go in the void?, will anything overflow causing weird graphic glitches? i just don't know

---THOUGHT WHILE TYPING---

What did romero and carmack do for the original doom2's map void, hell, was it even there in the original doom2?

Now this thread may seem silly but it is a real question to me, and also, feel free to discuss

I think you might get something out of I CANT GIVE YOU ANY THING MAP39: Daddy Forgot to Finish Coding Eyeballs. Specifically if you use DSDA-Doom.
