Doomenstein
First Person Shooter | Personal Engine C++
Doomenstein was originally a mod of Wolfenstein3D that used Doom graphics. This is a remake of Doomenstein using my personal C++ engine. Doomenstein is a first person shooter that gives the player access to two different weapons, the pistol and the plasma rifle. The game has both 3D graphics and 2D billboarded sprites using DirectX 11. The game offers multiplayer support where players can battle it out in a game of team deathmatch while contending with the “Pinky” demons.

Billboarded sprites will change sprite animation depending on the angle the actor is being viewed at

Creating actor definitions via XML
Post-Mortem
Doomenstein was the first 3D game made using my personal engine and served as a great learning experience for DirectX11 3D graphics and 3D physics. It taught me the idea of the monolithic actor class with all actors defined through XML.
