Nashville Game Developers

Let's have an in-person workmeet! All are welcome regardless of skill level or interests in game development.

Join us at a local cafe as we talk about game development, share what we've been working on, and get some work done on our games. Please support the venue with a purchase and refrain from bringing outside food and drinks.

This is a casual event with no agenda. Come and go as you please.

Meetup's RSVP count is usually lower than our attendance at our weekly workmeets, although we always appreciate it when people RSVP.

Doom 1 and 2 are genre defining video games that propelled the first person shooter, first person role playing and multiplayer games into mainstream light. Id's optimization allowed the game to be played on a larger number of computers than other first person experiences at the time. The tools to build levels were open sourced and hundreds, if not thousands of custom maps and games were made using the Doom 2 engine as the heart. As computers advanced, the old game bit rotted and wasn't able to be played on modern hardware. New open source projects like BOOM, Chocolate Doom and UZDoom took up the mantle to continue the game's legacy through modern source porting.

In this talk, Patrick Phillips will cover why making maps and modifications for Doom is still relevant and a great way to learn game design. He will be using the UZDoom Source Port, assets from FreeDoom and the Slade Level Editor.
