Okie dokie folks, finally fuckin done did it and got my first commercial game out, yayyyyy. I'm seriously crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly cuz holy shit the amount of things I had to fix. I did a test of each level like a billion times so I HOPE thats all good lol, wouldn't be surprised if somethin' breaks or I forgot something, but yeah.

I'm definitely exhausted, and definitely learned a lot during all of this, I learned what to do with future games going forward for sure, but in the end, I'm happy with what I took my deary time crafting. :P

So YIPPEE!

Have fun everyone.

Or alternatively, itchio!

After a full year of war, I find myself, Ruba, living moments that could be my last. Each passing day could be our final one, as we have witnessed our friends fall one by one. Today, I ask for your help after more than 50 displacements and continuous suffering, living in a state of constant fear and unending bombardment.

Death passes before us daily, and the situation has become akin to the horrors of Judgment Day. We live in indescribable fear and terror, as if we are trapped between the walls of death. I need your support now more than ever, as my family and I search for ways to save ourselves and meet our basic needs.

Please, do not forget our story. Your help can change our lives and give us hope for a better tomorrow. We are living in difficult conditions, and with your support, we can rebuild our lives anew

But here’s some YouTube comments that shortened my lifespan by 27 hours

The real blow to my sanity was Trench Foot. To the best of my superficial knowledge, it's 40k with the serial numbers filed off - I was already fanspriting for Rosigma at the time, so it felt like a funny little bit to... uh... file the numbers back on? Make it 100% copyright infringement. For fun! I had a lot of fun making the modification evil for no reason

Turns out Doom modding has an utterly deceptive learning curve - it seems super simple and intuitive and before you know it, the sunk cost fallacy has set in - and that's when the HORRORS begin.

There is an incredibly supportive and kind Discord community around GZDoom, and since I can't take pride in a finished project, I take some in the headaches I've caused

Another deceptive thing about Doom modding is that you can work out bypasses around problems without ever actually figuring out what you did wrong and learning from it. On the bright side-

It sorta works, now! Hundreds of sprites in, no idea how many hours, frankly terrified at the amount of time I've thrown down this hole instead of drawing anything remotely useful. I don't even know anything about Warhammer, I just like it when the nice OpenXCom people pat me on the head for sprites! So now I have two problems, delegating my time according to whoever will make me feel even a wee bit valued AND figuring out how on EARTH do you make a Doom map from scratch. I'm not sure how to convey the magnitude of the rabbit holes involved and explored, but at some point it led to making tiddy goblin sprites for what turned out to be a bunch of rabid nazis (hence why they remain regrettably unfinished, least I can do is not provide nazis with glorious goblin boobs)

If anyone made it this far - sorry to flash you with pixeltits. Thing is, a YEAR has gone by and I have nothing but these to show for it ;-; fingers crossed this post gives me a sense of closure and I can return to having a life and doing a drawing every now and then

so i gave kris a shield parry-

and have made a lot of other, less major progress on the mod, which i’m now calling deltawarriors and i now have a more specific vision for!

Smooth Doom

Game: Doom / Doom II Year: 2014 Port: GZDoom Specs: Smoother animations for just about everything and extra graphical effects. (Oh, and a rifle!) Gameplay Mods: A couple of mutators... but the replaced actors may break some custom content. Author: "Gifty" zdoom forums | doomwiki | onemandoom

Is the classic frame-by-frame animation of the original Doom and Doom II an immersion-breaker for you? Would a little in-betweening help? Well, have I got a mod for you.

Smooth Doom adds extra animation frames to actors and weapons for a more polished look. It also has some extra graphical effects folded in, like shell and bullet casings, SSG gibs, a Doom 64 weapon set, and even a few bonus settings like having zombimen drop rifles or faster demons.
