Mod for Classic Doom Will Turn Enemies From 2D Sprites to 3D Voxels
The Doom series seems to be going from strength to strength since the 2016 reboot and 2020 follow-up. With id Software currently looking to start its next project, it's possible that the influential FPS is not done by a long shot, if that is what the studio will be working on. Despite being nearly 30 years old, the original 1993 release is still played by many to this day, and there are also more than enough people in the community keeping it in the limelight through mods.

It becomes pretty clear early on in the footage that this mod turns the enemies and objects in the world from 2D sprites into 3D voxels. This means that they will no longer be flat and instead will look a bit more modern, though without compromising the overall look of the classic shooter. Some additional uploads on Chello's Twitter page really show off the work that's being put into the mod.
