Unreal Engine dev brings original Doom to Fortnite id software \/ epic gamesIt\u2019s apparently possible to play the original Doom game from 1993 in Fortnite, as one Unreal Engine developer has managed to prove. For a long time now, the game Doom has been successfully run on various devices, including a calculator, ATM machine, printer, and Nintendo DS, among many others, as fans keep finding creative ways to play the first-person shooter from 1993. The list doesn\u2019t stop there, though; as it turns out, Fortnite is also not off-limits when it comes to running the first-person shooter. Unreal Engine developer Jack Clayton revealed a clip of a 1993 Doom playthrough within Fortnite via a post on X. Much like the original game; it retains its pixelated graphics and movement despite running on the Battle Royale title. Here\u2019s when things get interesting. Soon enough, the clip showcases building a la Fortnite as the mats get laid out in plain sight. \u201cBut can #Fortnite run DOOM? Obviously I can\u2019t publish this, but it was a great way to learn more about Materials and PostProcessing in #UEFN,\u201d the post on X reads. As cited from Kotaku, Clayton explained that the process for this involved hopping into \u201cUltimate Doom Builder\u201d and exporting \u201cE1M1 as a 3D model\u201d so that it could be \u201cported into Fortnite\u2019s Unreal editor.\u201d \u201cThen it was mostly removing Unreal\u2019s fancy effects to make everything unlit and unfiltered,\u201d he added. This also includes using \u201cUnreal\u2019s material system to give the Doom Marine [sprite its] choppy spinning effect, and a PostProcess material to pixellate the screen and show the gun.\u201d Given how Fortnite\u2019s graphics look like, the UEFN dev and programmer had to \u201cget creative\u201d to achieve Doom\u2019s visuals. Fortunately, he has experience with \u201creplicating Doom\u2019s visual and gameplay style\u201d since he has \u201creleased a number of Doom-inspired games on Steam before moving over to UEFN.\u201d Due to copyright, it\u2019s not possible for this to be made available to the public. Nonetheless, it\u2019s interesting to see what UEFN is capable to offer in talented hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
