Budget Mick Gordon? He sounds nothing like him. I can't agree that he's unoriginal because his work on Dusk and Amid Evil was very very good. I wasn't as impressed with ROTT 2013 because it was just all metal guitars and nothing else. Ditto the 3D Realms Anthology soundtrack (though his shredding chops are ace). But when he got to Dusk and started doing different and more interesting things with synths he really impressed me. I also really admire his approaches for each game. Any time he does guitars again he makes it a point to never do guitars the same way he did the last time, he's always going for a new sound. And in Amid Evil he even straight up said he wasn't going to use any guitars, and he didn't. Big props to him for that.
But in comparison to Mick, I even prefer his Blood Swamps track from Doom Eternal TAG1 to anything Mick has done. But I understand that is purely subjective. Mick's work is technically more polished in the sound/mixing/creative department and he certainly can bang out a catchy earworm riff, but Blood Swamps really hooked me personally more than anything since BFG Division. It's just so fun to rip and tear to.

Yeah, try as he might.
You're free to stick to your opinion, like you said, it's all subjective in the end. It's an easy comparison to make, though, since they occupy a similar niche. Down tuned djenty metal stuff with synths layered on top, sometimes venturing into ambient, etc. Famous for their work on shooters.

Dude Hulshult was around before Mick even touched Doom. Or Wolfenstein for that matter.
Anyway, you do you.

So? He was around, OK. They were both around. Literally everyone even including bands was influenced by Gordon's OST for Doom and rips it off now. I don't care about this conversation anymore, look at this picture of a duck:

Well, at least that 2.0 update will be reason enough to play the full game again in the meantime. Hopefully, the 3DR release won't take ages again before being updated as well, though.

Aftershock will also include an Arrange mode, which integrates expansion enemies, weapons, and other content into the base game.
Now that is music to my ears! Weapon and enemy variety were the few weak points of the original for me. Couple that with an inventory system for power ups and I couldn't be happier! Gladly gonna wait til it's ready.

That's the proof! I knew Randy was to blame for the delay. It's always his fault when shit is happening.

Wait... what? After all these years?
My most imminent question: Will there also be a version for those who bought the 3DR release? It seems on the website they are redirecting you to Steam and/or GOG, even for the original game. Which isn't exactly encouraging.
Otherwise: Is it possible to obtain a DRM-free version of Aftershock's fury.exe (without depending on Steam DLLs)? It would be highly appreciated.

^ Yeah, I lost track of this myself.
Reading the fine print between Steam and GOG, GOG clearly states, you only need the Ion Fury Game. Only Steam wrote that you need the Steam version of Ion Fury to play Steam’s Aftershock. If I’m wrong, GOG has a full refund policy, tried and tested by myself.

You mean it should be possible to use the grp file from the 3DR release and run it with the GOG version of Aftershock? Makes sense, actually. Right now IF is -60% off on GOG, btw (it was on Steam yesterday).

I think so. But, I've been known to be be utterly wrong.

@brullov
If every map looks like that, I guess that explains why the Aftershock release took so long...

So I started playing and on level 2 I was able to sequence-break (without realising it) by jumping across that ledge and over the barb-wired fence on the left, completely bypassing the blue key:
562860_20231003150556_1.png (840.31K)
Number of downloads: 18
I had to use the inflatable chair to get back out. I can't pick the chair after I've inflated it, can I?
Other than that, excellent work and congrats on the release! I have to say though, it's inevitable for me to draw comparisons with Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition -- I vividly remember playing it for the first time and it had a much greater impact, with the opening level being very dramatic. The starting location in Aftershock is a bit less so -- a solid level but did not feel overwhelmingly awesome. But then again, I'm probably less easily impressed now compared to back when I played the Atomic Edition for the first time, so don't take this as serious criticism, jujst my impressions. Cheers!

No returns once it's out of its box!
With that said you can also get out of that area from the other side and just continue playing the level normally from there. Eventually you'll be able to return to the starting area without using the Nuvachair.
