First let me apologise for not responding at DW, but here, but there's a shitload of text and not that I'm a real ignorant, but I'm simply occupied with other things to read that lot, whereas 75% appears to be an argument over Gzdoom/Zdoom, and personal opinions on that completely don't interest me.
Hmm.. as much as this sounds promising I had a couple of toughts on this that weren't exactly the most optimistic things from the hat but..

Allright. In my opinion, this is just another idea like the universe of those floating around. Unless you have a good team Torm this can be as much of a dream as anything else, however, knowing you're an intelligent person, have considered that. My point is that perhaps either tossing the idea into the void maybe it would be wiser to actually start a frozen volcano or a meteor that crashed into a galeon, bringing an alien race aboard (
) and showing some content to catch interest? One of the things I've discovered over the .. years(? .. damn I spend too much time with this) is that projects spawne from an idea "let's all join hands and make a project" seldom bring resutls, but those spawned even a tiniest resource "hey guys, I made a monster, how about we make some maps to fight with him?" tend to spawn fruits more often. Just a tought. What I want to say? Get out, come back with a screenshot of a map, reapply
The idea itself is quite catchy but I must say Zdoom (Doom for that matter) isn't the best engine to choose. To create a conceptually and visually interesting world one would require a true 3d engine. Quake would be a good choice, but in my opinion, there's not much innovation to be done with Doom that screams out loud. I do believe I may be taken as a Heretic for saying that, but it's ofcourse a non-mattering personal opinion
Also, knowing the past disables me to forget about KDiZD. Just a tought for you Tormentor, several people are indeed waiting for that thing to be released-maybe it's a good idea to finish that first before moving onto something new?
Seing as my post is nothing really valuable I can only wish you good luck Torm
