Escape from Mars
Single Player
Doom 3 Map
Stand-Alone Mission - In Development
Doom 3: Escape from Mars is a stand-alone
level whose story and events occur
during the same time as the original game. The action
takes place in a different part of the UAC Mars Base
previously not seen and the player
assumes the role of another marine set with the task of
protecting the life of an important scientist.
The initial design was for the player
to keep
the scientist alive while escorting him to the starport
hanger. Once the scientist reveals his true
intentions, the player would have to dispatch him quickly before he
leaves in the dropship. This level underwent a few
major design changes during the course of the project.
Originally, the level was to be more extensive in scope and
carry a more narrative thread. Midway through the project,
promising AI of the main scientist and dramatic architecture
had to be cut to achieve the lead level designer's goals.
What is presented here is a
restructuring of the initial maintenance area with a new
scientist at the beginning. It is a shorter level, ending
just before Maintenance Area - Level 3.
