More control for map editing in DOOM?

More control for map editing in DOOM? - Digital monitor with World map and COVID 19 statistical data of global confirmed cases

I'm a game-software developer with a lot of experience. When I heard we'll be given snap-map for DOOM I was so happy that I would be able to, basically, make my own campaign. I was imagining something like a Blizzard map editor for Warcraft 3 or StarCraft II.

Snap-map is pretty underwhelming:

  • Very few types of rooms available
  • Couldn't find how to make your own layout
  • Couldn't find how to add your own monsters
  • Don't see any possibility of adding/tweaking weapons & items

I wonder if I've just missed it, but can we go into more detail? Can we add custom scripts instead of dealing with drag'n'drop interface? Can we add custom sounds for dialogs etc?
