The Sky May Be is a semi-serious joke WAD for Doom. It was created by Doug the Eagle and Kansam, and released in 1997 after two years of development. Kansam is also known for Kansam's Trial. Doug the Eagle has recently been mostly known for his highly humourous "anti-walkthroughs" and strange findings from the Ultima game series, and other games as well. The WAD is named after a texture experiment, where one of the textures was called "sky (maybe)". While the texture ultimately wasn't used in the WAD, the name stuck.

  • The Sky May Be is a semi-serious joke WAD for Doom. It was created by Doug the Eagle and Kansam, and released in 1997 after two years of development. Kansam is also known for Kansam's Trial. Doug the Eagle has recently been mostly known for his highly humourous "anti-walkthroughs" and strange findings from the Ultima game series, and other games as well. The WAD is named after a texture experiment, where one of the textures was called "sky (maybe)". While the texture ultimately wasn't used in the WAD, the name stuck. The WAD consists of three levels, two of which are training levels: E1M1 is a stock-up level, E1M2 is another tutorial level. E2M1 is the actual giant level where most of the action happens. It has extremely ugly graphics (most wall textures consist of a single colour, or are based on Windows 3.11 screenshots), incongruous music (Bach's Brandenburg concerto no. 3), and strange sound clips (from various movies and TV series), one of which is from an audiobook called the magic box. Also included is the Blessed Engine DeHackEd patch, which changes a lot of things about the weapon and monster behaviour in ways that don't make a whole lot of sense, but will undoubtedly be quite amusing.
