The latest
most-officialist site for Doom TASes is now down. Being that TASVideos holds many enthusiasts of this type of speedrunning, I wonder if this site may create and host Doom speedruns?
Not only are there the official four IWADs (Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom (TNT and Plutonia);
still available for like $10 retail or online), there's also other commercial games derived from Doom (often little or no support in source ports, however), and full total-conversion PWADs available (eg, Batman Doom or Alien).
Source ports already exist with extensive tool-assistance capability,
PrBoom and
PrBoom+ are the ones most commonly used. Not to mention they're very portable, you can make (and replay) TASes no matter what operating system you're using (unlike the many emulators restricted to only Windows or Windows+Linux)
There's only one thing that might have to be done -- Doom TASes have traditionally always been distributed as
LMPs, which are very small files with record the movements of the player, instead of distributing pre-rendered video files like this site often does. You've got some talented programers, however, I don't doubt AVI recording would take long to implement.
