2. Can't disagree here.
3. Okay, upon rereading the intermission screens, you are right about doomguy trying to find a way to destroy the carrier, not the planet. I didn't pay attention to that part. Maybe doomguy thought that destroying that would end the demons, but then at the end of Map20 (when he reaches the Map1 area), he enters the hidden passage after hearing the voice of darkness (confirming to Doomguy that there is still work to do). The passage then I believe leads him to the surface of the moon, in the older abandoned bases until he finally finds his way to the newer 2nd expedition base at Map30. I'll admit I am a bit confused about it too, but I 'think' that's what happens.
5. As I mentioned, the space city might even have been made by the 1st expedition. It is not stated when it was made. And its possible that the city was made to house the families of the employees. I am just speculating here.

And its also a possibility that the 2nd expedition made the city. As for why they didn't regain the first base on the ground, they might be afraid that demons are still there. Speculating

Like I said, if the second expedition made the city then they built it while the carrier just...sat there.

I'm honestly hoping someone mentions this to the devs. Just make the text screens clearer. At least Episode 2's. I can tolerate the other stuff, but literally having no idea what the actual crap is happening during Map13-Map19, where we are or what we're actually doing there, that's a really big problem...

Well, I thank you for asking the devs. And that other guy who replied to you brought up some good questions too that I didn't even think of, particularly his third question. Now that one bothers me too.

That guy is just insane.

[Malgon]

That is seriously impressive!

[jkas789]

Interesting video about the (allegedly) first slaughter map ever.

[Ninety-Six]

Apparently this maker is a character. Never heard of him before, though.

The exact same response I wanted to say here. That is seriously impressive.

Uploaded the soundtrack to Day of the Toys. White Bad Audio makes pretty dope music and has a youtube channel (link in description).

[Ninety-Six]

why is this as fun as it is

[NightFright]

UV with 2x dmg received and 0.5x ammo? Doesn't sound like fun to me, but a lot of quickload spamming...

That's not it at all. That was how Wolfendoom's z-ports worked I think but not here.

What it actually does is spawn double the enemies (though the spawning is imperfect so you rarely get an actual doubled amount of enemies as a few either spawn in the void or get their spots overwritten with another double spawn) and make health items be worth about 60% their normal value (except potions which still do 1). It's a very simple difficulty mode but for some reason I've been having a blast with it.

[NightFright]

Well, makes more sense than cutting ammo in half, which might actually make some maps unplayable (thinking of Plutonia's Go2It).

This 7-part annotated walkthrough will air daily all week and shows you where all the important stuff is, and how to get the true ending. Links in the description.

Jesus Impie you are a beast. I know very little people with that puts out quality content as fast as you.

I was browsing in search of shaders for GZDoom, because i have to admit that shaders can change the feeling during a gameplay, then i landed on this Topic, i noticed that the link for this Compilation is missed for the "Dark Shader" (funny, because i've started to search right to find something similar to it lol).

As I'm not interested to make an account everywhere i hope somebody will share the Dark Shader, i may be wrong but i think is the correct one i've uploaded.

Just to be clear is the one bundled with the Doom Remake 4

And btw, if someone know about similar shaders, please tell me xD.

Shaders are a lot of fun to work with. They can also be applied to individual textures/sprites to create all kinds of visual effects. Here's a video showing some experiments I made:


The waterfall, blue portal tiles, forcefields, slime, and the burning effect on the hell knights are all shader effects applied to static artwork.

My only complaint about GZDoom's shader system is there is no way to manipulate it in-game with ZScript (as far as I can tell). For example the project I am currently working on uses a disintegration effect that would be very easy, and much better looking, to achieve through a shader if I could directly control the timing the actor's ZScript. Instead I'm stuck used manually animated sprite frames I created in Unity.

Oh it's you!? I was searching where did the Pyro Demon mofo came from, for some reason this video was there, i watched it a pair of months ago, i was specially impressed by the light blue teleports and the forcefield windows, i think those can be used in many contexts for many purposes.

I mean, let's take in case to put the light blue teleports in an icy map, i think they'll fit very well, or just to show to the players some specifics paths to follow making them with different colours.

The forcefiled effect could also be used on some moded monster that has a shield or something similar like invicibility frames (Heresiarch from Hexen as example).

Anyway, those light blue teleports and their flashing effect are really stunning, very nice!

Amusingly the blue light effect shader had a serious bug in the coding at the time of this recording. I actually got it looking even better later

I got the idea for that effect from Final Fantasy 4. The cyber-tower levels use a similar effect for some of their lighting object by using rapid palette cycling. Though due to the game using 3-bit color for its background tiles the effect only achieves 8 frames of animation where as my version produces roughly 127 unique frames.

For anyone interested, this is a Doom screenplay I worked on with Impie. This is based on his horror novella "Knee Deep in the Dead." Which is, in my view, the definitive adaptation of the game into a story format.

I actually bought the novel. Always thought it would make a great movie. Certainly better than the two we have already. There's even a good spot for a first-person action sequence.

Maybe i don't know where search, but it does not look so easy, casually found Sin City shader, following this path search on Google -> proposed Youtube videos about Doom mods -> read descriptions.

[Ninety-Six]

Apparently, valkiriforce's latest outing, Anomaly Report, got added to the Unity port.

Another surprising addition. Good for him, though. I always thought he made great classic-styled maps.

[jkas789]

I was just going to post that actually. What's everyone opinion about it? Do y'all recommend it or is it a more niche experience?

Btw, I'm replaying Back to Saturn X (both episodes) and I honestly am having a lot more fun they I remember it when I first played it.

I also am finishing the Dynamite Duchess saga. God damn Impie has done such a fun tc lol. The guys over at Doomworld don't know what they are missing.

Some more footage of the cancelled Doom 4 and 2016 development:

[jkas789]

Is it wrong that I think that Doom 4 would have been more visually interesting than Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. There is something about a gritty and grounded violece Doom (like Doom 3) that appeals to me more than the rainbow vomit of nuDoom. Also That intro battle animation for Doom 2016 had a lot of interesting things going on in there.

[Avenger]

Agreed. Nudoom ruined the franchise. id is a shell of it`s former self. The devs have completely lost track of what made DOOM what it was with simple and straightforward core gameplay. Instead they decided to turn it into a rainbow puke arcade experience with a hundreds HUD`s stealing screen real estate and trying to jam 20 pounds of shit into a 10 pound bag attempting to include every modern shooter mechanic into the same game. DOOM Eternal screams for attention from 16 year olds that can`t focus for more than 15 minutes at a time.

[jkas789]

Like, it's not that I dislike that much Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal. It's just that they feel more like a successor to Quake with a Doom paint job than Doom proper. I don't know, maybe I'm a retard. I do agree that Eternal had a very really cluttered UI, almost obscenely so. And that arcade feel to the items, ammo etc really took a lot for me from the atmosphere of the game.

Btw, does anyone have any recommendation on playing Doom 3 in 2022? is there any sourceport for it?

[OpenMaw]

As far as I know it runs right out of the box still. All you have to do is fidget with the .ini file a little to get widescreen and fix a minor things. Otherwise it runs just as well now as it did 15 years ago.
