A few months ago I was playing around with some modifications to the Doom arsenal, mostly faster weapons. My dehacked file turned out to be based on the one in Scythe 2, which I overlooked, and I loaded up map32 to test my 4x speed chaingun against a cyberdemon, because it's the Doom II map with the simplest access to the cyber. Or so I thought. If you know which monsters Scythe 2 replaces and which monsters Doom 2 map32 has, you'll know what I was greeted by, much to my surprise. My screen was full red before I could even finish thinking 'wtf'.
 
Today I remembered that and decided on a whim to do a casual max of map32 facing the Scythe 2 monsters. Was pretty fun.
 
 

Earlier today I finished some early versions of the music that'll be going into my Doom level.  There'll be one track for each major area, plus a short "outside ambiance" sort of thing, so five total tracks.
 
Anyway, I put them into the pk3, wrote the ACS to fade them nicely and control them as-needed, fired up GZDoom and... holy crap it's like 300% creepier now.  I'm seriously glad I usually playtest without the music.
 
The ambient outdoor thing isn't much, just a sound collage of some low rumbling and a recording of a creepy dog barking I found.  I layered in some reverb via a convolution plugin using a canyon impulse, which makes it sound sounds pretty solid and very outdoors-y.
 
The outer temple area uses a song I'm calling "Drive Them Back" (named after a Vincent Price sample I use in it), which is a dark, gothic track that uses a melancholy ARP Solina for the melody.  Sorta like SoTNR map 03's music, but less evil and more gloomy.
 
The crypt area has a track that's much more experimental and ambient.  It features a droning background of noise and warmth, interspersed demonic noises, and some algorithmically generated drums that get all messed up and don't play the role of a standard rhythm track.
 
I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing for the inner temple or the final area, but I noticed that Skinny Puppy's album "Cleanse Fold and Manipulate" went pretty well with the general feel so far, so I might experiment more with distorted drums and sound collage textures for them.

guess what? it's sunday and it's time to learn how to mod stuff.

Checking out Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi, and holy crap this game is actually kinda scary. It's been a long time since a game has been able to get me to jump much.

Just a link to the final version of my confinement project map. Nothing special, just a few tweaks.  Leaving it here incase anyone wants to take a look.

Just polished off Plutonia Revisited: Community Project, and I gotta say I think I enjoyed it this time more than Plutonia 2.

Why in the world did they decide to officially name Doom 2016 just plain Doom? Now when I'm looking for stuff concerning the classic games I keep getting stuff about the reboot.
