I'm pulling for Wizordum. They're scratching an itch nobody else has, and the dev has shipped a few titles (mostly licensed remakes of MS-DOS platformers but yeah) so he knows how all this works. Didn't know about the alternate character! Curious to see what that entails...

I still need to play through Courier of the Crypts which was his previous game before working with Apogee, though it's not an FPS (top down puzzle game in a dungeon crawling setting)

Huh, no kidding--even the dev's HD remakes are all well received and seem like high-effort, feature-rich releases. Hopefully he's able to persevere with Wizordum. EDIT: In other news, I JUST figured out that Beautiful Doom has two additional modes that put twists on the classic arsenal. The "enhanced" mode in particular has been a nice change of pace without radically altering the underlying gameplay. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jan 12, 2024 |

I didn't overly enjoy what I played of Wizordum but the pixel art/general aesthetics is incredibly pretty and the map design is good enough. For my money, its biggest problems in the first episode (where I stopped) is a lack of enemy variety. That and it really feels like they missed a trick by having a bunch of different single-use weapons instead of having half as many weapons but with two fire modes. The fire orb rings (pistol equivalent) have you just holding out your hands to shoot and my brain kept wanting to right-click to get a shotgun.

Yeah Wizordum looks super cool. It's top of my wishlist at the moment. I'm waiting for a nice break in my own schedule rather than anything specific to happen to the game before buying it, so I can totally see me picking it up before that road map completes with 1.0.

As amusing as it is, I kind of wish that Voxel Doom had a option to specifically disable voxels for the Wolf3D and Commander Keen sprites since so many WADs take advantage of replacing those two with custom enemies. Running through Ancient Aliens right now, it's funny to see that the "aliens" are SS guards shooting plasma and Commander Keen corpses floating around fire homing missiles.

It would take a little digging but you could probably open it up in Slade and delete those right?

Yeah I might end up doing that since I don't think I need the voxels for the Wolf 3D and keen characters; probably won't miss them

I think it's really funny that he voxelized the Icon of Sin. I mean if anything that's the thing in the first two games most demanding voxels, but it's still hilarious.

I been chugging through Dusk, and I was kinda iffy during Episode 1 if I liked it or not but Episode 2 has been awesome. E1 had a bit too many open arenas and simple encounters. But E2 is better both mechanically and aesthetically - I have just gone Into the Thresher to see what lies beyond...

Yea that's one of the perks of EA (or games polished post-release) is that you can texturally see the improvement as things improve from one area to the next. I was absolutely enamored with Dusk by the end of it.

Back in the day, EP2 is what took DUSK from “Wow, this is pretty drat good so far” to “Holy loving poo poo!” EP2 definitely blew me away when it was first released. You can really see the level design improve dramatically from EP1 to EP2.

Just wrapped up Sigil II on UV + Pistol Start, I've been kind of hungry for some WADs that lean into a similar type of difficulty--i.e. more limited in weapons, ammo, health, etc. than in sheer numbers of enemies. Anybody got any picks?

Am I going crazy, or are the physics in Half-Life completely screwed up since the big update? I'm constantly sliding around like I have no control where Gordon's going to end up after a jump, and it's making platforming a royal pain.

Did you accidentally change sv_friction? Or maybe encountered one of those bugs in some maps where friction doesn't get reset after you leave a low friction area

Anybody got any picks? Here are some suggestions in terms of difficulty through resource starvation while maintaining a low monster count. I've avoided listing modern challenge oriented stuff with difficult platforming segments and swift death style murderboxes. All of these are individual maps except SkePland (a three map episode), Ozonia and TPH (megawads). I'm also working under the assumption of UV and pistol start play:
You might also want to try these maps where you are limited to 1hp. They also have few monsters to contend with too:

drat I hosed up by not clarifying that Doom II WADs are A-OK as well--I just love how Sigil II goes for such a relatively strict allowance of items and makes the most of level design and enemy placement. But thank you for this detailed list! I will definitely check some of these out, since I recognize none of them and some of your descriptions sound really up my alley for what I'm looking for.

I'm not crazy. I was playing the Delta Particles Half-Life mod and I'm moving just as normally as I remembered in Half-Life before the big update. Something's causing Gordon to move around like he's wearing rocket boots. I need to look into this.

Default sv_friction is 4 Also check sv_maxspeed, should be 320. If it's any higher and your cl_ directional speed commands (sidepeed, backspeed, forwardspeed) are high, moving diagonally makes you run faster than usual HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jan 16, 2024 |

Not HL but I booted... something recently and was having the complete opposite problem. Where everything felt like ice to move around on. Inertia felt all screwy, hard to get going but once you did oh boy good luck getting it to stop poo poo maybe it was HL, idk

Does it persist after you get to new levels? The glitch with friction I'm talking about is when you step on something that's supposed to be slippery, set by a func_friction entity, and it doesn't reset when you leave it. I remember a map I was working on had that problem and I had to brute force fix it by putting another func_friction to reset it to normal. Idk exactly what causes it, I've only had it happen a couple times in the normal hl1 campaign HolyKrap fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Jan 16, 2024 |
