Love the glass of wine.
- anigbrowl 2y ago
  It's a rather cheeky little vintage.
  - pak9rabid 2y ago
    I'll be happy just as long as it doesn't taste like orange drink fermented under a radiator.
- Corrado 2y ago
  The beer is better. lol
smusamashah 2y ago
There is some visibility issue on mobile. Things are only visible at a certain angle or distance. Otherwise it's just white.
- anonzzzies 2y ago
  On IPhone (ios 18) it works perfectly. What are you using?
  - smusamashah 2y ago
    Chrome on Android 14 (Pixel 4a).
    - vardump 2y ago
      Worked fine on an old Samsung S20+, running Android 13.
    - beej71 2y ago
      Also doesn't work correctly for me on Chrome Android 13 on a 4a. Missing terrain. But it works on Firefox! :)
01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y ago
Hilarious! On Firefox on Linux, it's constantly turning to the right slightly... maybe cause I pregamed too hard?

It gives an uneasy feeling. I guess my mind expect something to pop up that I need to shoot.

  Or at least spill wine in their face
  - gadders 2y ago
    There is a Just Stop Oil version where you can throw a bucket of orange paint over the paintings /s
    - excalibur 2y ago
      It would be awesome if you could play as The Joker and "improve" all the paintings.
stevebmark 2y ago
It was fun to get to 100% completion and find all the secrets!

Inspiring. This might be the first "virtual meeting environment" I've wanted to invite people to. Who wouldn't attend this instead of a luma or something virtal conferency. Or collect all the food samples at a virtual costco. The graphics leave enough to the imagination and for conversation. Need to get webrtc pushing into it.

A BFG easter egg that destroys the paintings would be a welcome addition.

Nice, awesome way to get some culture through to the Roblox generation. and fun reminiscing for the parents on the countless hours spent battling pixelated demons. bug report -> Missing back button on the options screen, unable to change any options or return back to the main menu

Shameless plug, but I'd just like to point out this was actually made in our game creation software Construct 3! (https://www.construct.net https://www.construct.net) It's mainly focused on 2D, but we have been adding some 3D features over the years that can handle retro-style content like this, although I'd speculate this is based on some kind of raycasting technique rather than true 3D.
- Sharlin 2y ago
  I mean, it wouldn't be DOOM if it weren't raycast :) I'm actually surprised that this wasn't just running (a port of) the original DOOM engine – or maybe it does, at least the renderer? I don't know if that's possible with Construct.
  - kfuse 2y ago
    Doom doesn't use raycasting, it uses binary space partitioning. From the description it seems to be a DOOM clone. Physics feels a bit off, but all the little details may trick you into believing that it's the real thing.
    - bzzzt 2y ago
      Doom uses both: binary space partitioning to find the visible surfaces then casting rays to draw the textures.
      - cyberax 2y ago
        It doesn't. Doom uses BSP to precisely determine which columns of textures it needs to render. It's faster than raycasting, so this was even used in Wolf3D port to GBA.
        eumenides1 2y ago
        Yeah is fast and cheap because the BSP tree is created after the level mapped out. It's also why "Will it run DOOM?!" is a thing.

Imagine the efficiencies gained over the years if, for all of these kind of ideas (online galleries, games, real estate agent online viewings, etc, etc), we had just open-sourced the Doom UI ... the front page of all online 3D interaction ... I think we'd be a step forward in our evolution! The wine glass is chef's-kiss ... * grabs a BFG9000 ahead of entering an online Open House *

  1997 would have been an ideal year for this to happen (except for the sound engine): https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/blob/a77dfb96cb91780ca334d0d4cfd86957558007e0/README.TXT#L78 https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM/blob/a77dfb96cb91780ca33...

Here’s a recorded video of someone else playing it, for anyone interested to see what it’s about and how it looks: https://youtu.be/WiqaloIBsvE https://youtu.be/WiqaloIBsvE
- distances 2y ago
  And for those who missed the big blue button, you can sip the wine in your browser, no download needed. Worked very well with Firefox for Android.
- tim333 2y ago
  It's nice and that but I still feel there should be a way to shoot people.
  - beardyw 2y ago
    Should I stop going to art galleries?
mothergreen 2y ago
how did you create those 8bit style graphics of the exhibits?
- Gormo 2y ago
  Looks like heavily pixellated 24-bit art to me.

I've found the random cash available in the gallery pretty inviting but the mixing of beer and wine was offensive XD Great job guys, that was awesome!

great work! as others have mentioned, it's surprising this isn't an actual doom wad. the choice of objects is also surprising to me: these are masterpieces from the met, rather than the 'contemporary art' slop i would associate with the (per the readme) 'wonderfully pretentious world of gallery openings'.
RamboRogers 2y ago
I didn't know this was missing in my life. I might need to go to a real museum.
erickhill 2y ago
After having just returned from Paris and visiting the Louvre, seems I should be body surfing over hordes of museum attendees all taking photos of art with their cellphones at some level. Clicking on each piece in the museum for a close-up is brilliant.
thatjoeoverthr 2y ago
Where's the museum with wine? This is missing from society. Where do I find this?
- nine_k 2y ago
  Not museums on public days but galleries, especially during openings of new expositions, with admission by invitation. Museums, galleries, or any other art-related places with wads of cash lying around are pure fantasy though. Alas.
  - pwdisswordfishz 2y ago
    > wads This is not a WAD, though
    - nine_k 2y ago
      Heh, what's a Doom level if it's not a WAD?
      - Phrodo_00 2y ago
        Yeah, that's what the post means. This is not a Doom level.

A couple of recommendations for those who've just found that they enjoy virtual art galleries: Occupy White Walls - https://www.oww.io/ https://www.oww.io/ Museum of Other Realities - https://www.museumor.com/ https://www.museumor.com/ VRChat also hosts a number of worlds that function as galleries. Strange Pear recently had a stall at VKet (https://www.ozpearsall.art/strange-pear https://www.ozpearsall.art/strange-pear).

it takes between 0 and 100 years for game tech to find its way into serious software. Doom seems a great platform to build the next generation of office software. Lets say the goal is to have employees continue to work in their free time for free, say till 1-2 am. Games accomplish this effortlessly. One more bug to fix to banish the ceo to The Dungeon of Noobs for 38 hours and two to win the employee of the month body armor.

Just occurred to me that this should have been Wolfenstein, the Gallery Experience because the (stolen) art would be more at home in those spaces rather than the gates of Hell or Phobos or whatever. ;)
