Does that have a big mod community still? I honestly have no idea, but that's pretty cool if it does. Neverwinter Nights was some good stuff.

It's died out I'm pretty sure. It was quite big, but just didn't live as long. NWN2 kind of killed it.

I reinstalled it a couple days ago to play with a friend and, surprisingly, mods are still being made, servers are still active, and people still playing online, too. Lots of good campaigns. Gamespy's server list shutting down has made things a little difficult to meet up with other people, though. You have to, like, direct connect to every server via IP. What a pain. I wonder how feasible it'd be to make a DnD 3.5e mod for Doom.

Ludicrium is a great parody of Slaughter maps. That map 5 gimmick brought my computer to its knees, though.

Pain Elementals spawn more Pain Elementals instead of Lost Souls. When you kill one, three more Pain Elementals spawn. This snowballs really fast.

It doesn't let you make your own 96-exit Mario World romhack but it's a very capable level-making tool with pretty drat loose restrictions! Also because Mario Maker is good and not bad, new people to Mario will just stick with Mario Maker rather than look back to the olden days of Mario level-making.

If it doesn't get a release on the Switch people might go back to SMW, but it probably will keep getting new versions as long as people keep buying them, it's the Nintendo way.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Switch offering Mario 3D Maker, so I can make some killer sick 3D World levels. But there's not really any reason for them to not continuously re-release and update Mario Maker. I'd probably buy a new copy with more features if I end up buying a Switch. The super easy map sharing and 100 Mario Mode and the interactivity of pieces gives Mario Maker a lot of flexibility that Lunar Magic et al don't have.

I missed out on the WiiU, might get a Switch someday, so this is one definite case of me hoping against all hopes that Nintendo be their regular selves and rerelease the poo poo out Mario Maker. Anyway, I've been totally addicted to Temin's ~20 years of Doom LP, and just finally caught up to Doom 2  Some of those 94 wads were slogs, but I'm all the more thankful that they're now playing something infinitely better.

Not an FPS, but I had a sudden pang of nostalgia for Oni earlier this week and ordered a £3 copy off ebay, which just arrived. Surprisingly, there's a fully functional fan-patch with a still semi-active fan community, and the mod repository contains stuff that was released in 2014.

Also because Mario Maker is good and not bad, new people to Mario will just stick with Mario Maker rather than look back to the olden days of Mario level-making. Super Mario Maker requires you to be one of the very few people with Nintendo's least popular home console of all time, unless you want to use the 3DS version which doesn't let you use all the options of the Wii U version and only lets you share levels via local play. And they even stopped production of new Wii U systems a couple weeks back. All editing Super Mario World levels requires is like any computer made since 1998 to run the editor programs and emulators. Hmm, that sounds rather like the requirements for comfortably editing Doom maps... So I really don't know why you'd think people are going to stick to Mario Maker, when barely anyone has it in a version that actually lets you easily share and receive the new levels.

Are you really not going to take Mario Maker's incredibly simple level sharing system into account? It's so, so much easier to share a Mario Maker level than it is to manually patch roms to compile a romhack made in Lunar Magic. Editing a classic Super Mario World level is pretty easy and Lunar Magic and Mario Maker have relatively similar capabilities (with the former's limitations mostly coming from the fact that they have to work with a rom of the real Super Mario World), but the easiness of making it playable and sharing it is like day and night. edit: And one could argue that it is easy to compile a SMW rom hack because all you have to do is drag and drop it and your SMW rom onto the programs that are (I think?) included with Lunar Magic. But even so, that still requires multiple external programs and then you have to find a place to host it and then others have to download it onto their own computers. Compared to Mario Maker, where you just share the several-digits-long code, you don't have to download or patch anything yourself, and no external programs are required. Arguably, this same difference is the only advantage SnapMap has over Doom Builder. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Dec 11, 2016 |

I don't normally venture in the LP forum but this one in particular is very entertaining. Although at present I only get time to put it on when working at home or doing the washing up, so I have watched exactly 4 episodes so far.

I agree with you but just to clarify SNES emulators have had auto-patching for years and years at this point and playing a ROM hack doesn't require external tools. At worst you have to rename the files to have matching filenames.

The last time I tried to make a Super Mario World hack was like five years ago so if the process is that much easier now then fair enough. Regardless, I still believe that Mario Maker's online sharing is most of the reason why it is superior to the homebrew stuff- the 3DS Mario Maker sucks because most of the point of the game is playing other peoples' levels.

The Wii U version has a simple level-sharing system, but very few people have a Wii U and the Wii U also got discontinued in the middle of November. So your ability to really share is limited because so few people have the system. That's really bad for it having longevity as opposed to the PC editors for SMW and other games, which just keep getting easier to use. I mean keep in mind a lot of the people into Super Mario World and the other modded ROMs just play other people's levels, and those are very easy to get, especially since people stopped bother to keep the patches and the original rom seperated.

So I just got introduced to Space Trucker by the latest live stream from Giant Bomb (Skip to 1:22:00 if you have a suscription to see the combat kick off). A lot of sprites and sounds were seeming real familiar to me so I checked and quickly found a thread on the ZDoom forums where they break down a lot of the borrowed assets used in this fine $20 original product. On-fire-guy sprites from Blood, door sounds from Doom, and even a re-colored Doomguy hand which might itself be from Brutal Doom. I just wanted you guys to know, that I never ever played or watched the old Build engine Tekwar game, but when the instant I saw the digitized character sprites pop up in that video, I knew they had to have been ripped from Tekwar. Cuz I'm for real.
