EPIC MEGAJAM
My first jam after graduation: a Doom-style shooter rebuilt inside Fortnite, made in UEFN and Verse in 10 days.
OVERVIEW
The Epic MegaJam 2025 theme was "Here we go again." People have been getting Doom to run on everything for decades, so we did it one more time: a Doom-style shooter built inside Fortnite, with a fixed gun on the HUD, a classic Doom-inspired status bar, and Peely agents standing in for demons.
You wake up in an abandoned testing facility, step into a simulator, and get pulled into Doom. The plan was a trip through FPS history: a Doom level, then a Halo-inspired one, then a Call of Duty-style finale. We scoped too big, so we cut the later levels and put everything into making the Doom level feel finished. Beat it, and you walk out of the simulator to a cake with your grade on it: B+.
