Reply To: Revisiting Albion
This whole episode has made me want to work on Phobian Odyssey again, a dungeon crawler I wrote last year based on the Doom universe – https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/125587-phobian-odyssey-episode-1-doom-dungeon-crawler-for-nanowadmo-2021/ . It was mainly an experiment in writing a game on the GZDoom engine, but I wanted to make a dungeon crawl style game where the environments were much more unique and memorable rather than monotonous – even games like the modern Etrian Odyssey dungeon crawlers have very featureless dungeons for the sake of nostalgia.
Perhaps, as I’m enjoying this game less and less, I might use the engine for the basis of an Albion game of my own eventually – something set in Albion the world that I was so fascinated with, separate from the awkwardness of Albion the game 🙂
