Jimmy

Santa Claus is back, and he's even more deranged than ever. Merry Shitmas, ya filthy animals! To commemorate the holiday season, and to celebrate the tireless work of my next-of-kin, here is another new single map for GZDoom, done for @Baratus's birthday using their and Skelegant's custom weapons mod Broadsword Jim, a modifier that puts you in the metallic, armored shoes of Jim, a sword-headed wielder of both medieval and modern weaponry. While vacationing in Hyper-Siberia, he suddenly finds himself on a mission to stop Santa from blowing up the world, and to save Christmas from a very unfestive fate. What's that? You've never played Broadsword Jim before? Go sort that out!!! ----- Download "BroadXmas" (21.4MB): GZDoom 4.11.0+ required. Only tested in this port/build.

A: This map is in a few ways a spiritual successor to the "Merry Shitmas!" map I made for TurboCharged Arcade: The Sequel Episode, in which you also kill Santa because reasons. Some inspiration has also been taken from Winter's Fury, both in terms of the wintery Doom bestiary, and of how I present the story in this map. Q: Why all the pop-up messages and cutscenes? A: As with my previous releases, Saint Alfonzo's Darkbase and Gloombase, this map features an objectives system (which is optional to view) and cutscenes (which are skippable). Autosaves are also provided at key junctures. Q: I'm not used to the weapons! A: Not technically a question, but: hit F1 to read the help screens, they tell you how the weapon set works. Also remember each weapon has an altfire, and portable items are given - and in case you run out of ammo, your sword-head is your best friend, and is actually incredibly powerful. There also some secret weapons to find. Q: Why use Adventures of Square textures, but include stock Doom monsters? A: Because the cartoony textures fit the weaponset's equally cartoony looks well, imo. We're in Jim's world, not necessarily in the Doom universe. Q: Does the above mean we're gonna be seeing Adventures of Square E3 soon??? A: lol no

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2023! Latest version: Zoon-tex [v3.0] on Dropbox (19MB) v3.0 is a BIG update (totalling 5,874 textures and 1,208 flats!) that integrates the tech textures from the Zoon-tech offshoot pack seamlessly into the original, improves some colors, and adds a ton of switches.

A recolor-heavy texture pack initially used for realms of Zo0n. Projects this texture set has been featured in: The Slaughter Spectrum Technicolor Antichrist Box The Joy of Mapping 4 Infraworld: Coma Moonlight The Alfonzone Interception II There are a new palette and a new colormap included which modifies the greens a little, and the blues a lot - some stock sprites have been modified to better work within it. Most notably, the lighter side of the blue color range is now a fullbright light purple (seen in the third shot).

It's been awhile since we had a dedicated "texture jam" thread. I wanna see what you creative folks can come up with. Please go ahead and post your texture edits or your entirely custom ones. Be polite and use spoilers if you have lots in one post as I do here. (I've categorised them as well - no need for this if you have random offerings!)

*gets two maps in, emits a prolonged sigh and closes the game* For pity's sake. RonLivingston is (STILL) a serial plagiarist.

^ You're getting that printed for a mousemat right? :P

KZDoom is still a favorite series of mine, and I return to it every so often for inspiration when I need a refresher on what folks were doing with basic ZDoom functionality back in the '00s. Excited to see what you've got to offer us now, Kurt!

What a ceremony. Gonna take me a full day to get through all this. Keep kickin' ass, Doomworld.

It was great to be able to work alongside John Romero for this project. Massively grateful for the opportunity and very pleased with the reception so far! SIGIL 2's custom soundtrack by yours truly is available on BandCamp!

Bumped into this thread and was quite smitten with the idea behind this plugin, but it's unfortunate that it currently only exists for 32-bit installs of UDB. I alerted someone previously to this and they discovered the GitHub repo is missing the "main" file, meaning a 64-bit install can't be built from it. @cybermind If you're still about these days, I think only you can help out here!

May as well have said "happy early birthday" 'cos it's only in 15 days' time, lmao But thank you!

Please refrain from quoting entire long posts full of images, thanks dude

It's OUT NOW. STREAM/PURCHASE ON BANDCAMP LISTEN ON SPOTIFY

STREAM/PURCHASE ON BANDCAMP STREAM/PURCHASE INSTRUMENTALS ON BANDCAMP LISTEN TO "ABYSS OF TIME" ON SPOTIFY LISTEN TO "ABYSS OF TIME INSTRUMENTALS" ON SPOTIFY A grand total of 17 new heavy metal tracks intended to provoke thought about the world we live in, ranging from the individual perspective to that of the cosmic. This album on the whole covers many current affairs, chiefly political, but centres primarily on the need for immediate and decisive action being taken in order to tackle our most pressing issues (many of which our politicians turn a blind eye to – hence the album cover), both as a society and as a species – for we are a tiny speck on the scale of time, and should try to go to lengths to look out for ourselves and for our planet, while we still last. The introductory track "Epiphany" sets the stage by giving background via spoken word on the discovery of the geological unconformity at Siccar Point in 1788 by Scottish scientist James Hutton, which gave rise to the idea of "deep time" and that the Earth was in fact billions of years old, challenging widely-held beliefs that our planet's age was a little over six thousand years. Scottish songwriters Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan's musical piece "Siccar Point" focuses also on the subject of deep time and of our collective finity in the face of time’s great expanse, which are revisited here in my music to bring the album to a close on the title track "Abyss of Time".

With just one day to go before release, here we are with a brand new music video for your viewing pleasure! Can't be happier with how the video turned out - @KeaganDunn knocked it out of the park with this. We recorded all footage remotely and with a budget of basically zero. The video also features @Dragonfly on drums and @Tristan on guitar and bass. The guitars in the track itself were recorded by @Velvetic and @The Final Event, the latter of whom also features on guest harsh vocals. Here's what the song says...

why exactly do you think Doomworld even needs to watch this kind of video, let alone have opinions on it

Every one of those has this energy:

So awesome to see Avactor 2 still kicking!

it's slime time a shot of goo from me to you gonna splurt the 'gurt whoopsie-doo, here comes the goo

Yeah, my recommendations were based on them being free. The tools are pretty readily available and every little bit of money-saving helps, especially if you're on a budget or don't own your own money, which I suspect will be the case for the majority of phone-users trying to edit their own sprites. Nothing against them, that's just how it goes when you're just starting out - you need a steer in the right direction sooner rather than later.

That'd be me more than anyone, I feel. PL2 was my first "big gig" as a MIDI writer and it's mad to think it really has been a decade-and-a-half since that opportunity. It's even madder considering a few of my contributions PL2's soundtrack were rushed hastily out the door at the last possible split-second, when the deadline suddenly crept up on me in the final 3 days before release - my work ethic has not improved since then, and somehow people are still trusting me with music for their maps. :P Time marches on but I remain stalwart and unchanging. Fuck learning from your mistakes! *dissolves into pile of bone marrow*
