BirminDoom is an annual Doom II community project that aims to push creative boundaries and foster experimentation with the original game design formula. Every year, the project will have a certain theme and rules associated with it.

This year's theme is NON-VIOLENCE

Deadline for submissions: November 1st, 2024

Submission limit: 1 map per mapper

Theme rules:

• Player should not use weapons to damage or kill enemies.
• Custom weapons are allowed. Against monsters, they can be used to allow temporary and constant disadvantage (e.g. freeze, or force teleport, etc.)
• Player should not damage or kill enemies by any other means.
• Enemies, if present, should not be count in-game (to ensure 100% completion).
  • This can be done in UDB, in Things mode by choosing a monster, and ticking ‘No completion count’ choice. 1

Other than that, you are free to do anything in the map: a narrative-heavy map, a puzzle, a platformer or a regular Doom map that is intended for a pacifist run. You are free to implement new mechanics, monsters and weapons if you want to do so.

Project Specification:

• Target Sourceport: GZDoom v.4.11.3
• Map Format: UDMF
• You can use ZDoom ACS and ZScript
