The Age of Hell: FPS game for GZDoom - DEMO OUT

Prepare your CPUs and hold onto your framerates. These maps are THICC.

I’m just in awe of these screenshots and that you’ve managed to create something like this using Doom! Looking forward to the final product

I finally made a moddb page for age of hell. Tell your mum.

My mum's wondering if she can play this on her Huawei upon release.

Absolutely staggering works of Doom art. I might join Discord simply for the pleasure of playtesting this monster.

This looks absolutely amazing.

Funny, the cracks on the floor remind me of Combine Forcefields:

Do you want "Does this run with Brutal Doom?"?

Because that's how you get "Does this run with Brutal Doom?"?

Nice boss! Reminds me of that Giant Ice monster we fought in Armageddon Map06 "The weather these days"

Between this and Refracted Reality, 2020 looks to be an amazing year...not to mention Doom Eternal, of course.

That looks absolutely incredible.

Hexstone Citadel is actually finished. Build time was a little bit under 3 weeks (although I have been on holiday). This was me attempting to make a small map in a short space of time and ... uh ... it is smaller than my usual stuff but yeah, she's still pretty thicc.

Out of curiousity... if you're doing visuals/architecture first, then monster placement, wouldn't a lot of areas have to be reworked to accommodate different encounter setups? Surely, you are not just limiting combat to incidental fighting/enemies teleporting into areas?

Even if I'm doing all layout first, then monsters I plan areas with combat mechanics in mind. This map has a fair amount of warp ins but there's areas that open up revealing enemies (there's one area with a couple hundred revs). Even with teleport in mechanics you can mix it up a lot. One arena has cacos look like they are flying in from above a window which is done with teleporters but it doesn't look like it. You can also have areas that appear empty from a distance but when you get into them and press a button use spawnspots to generate a battalion that reveals itself when walls lower/doors open.
One thing I haven't done in this map is use portals to create non euclidian geometry which allows for space for monsters to be created where none would be available in a less advanced port. That was a deliberate decision for this map but that will happen in other maps (I first started doing this in The Slaughter Spectrum. A good example is the last fight in Palace of the Black Singularity).

After a bit of a hiatus due to Mapwich 2 it's time to kick things back into gear. Hell isn't gonna build itself.

The attacks and the 'he has a brother' bit make me think pretty strongly of Doom2016's Hell Guard, only with a visual design friendlier to the original games.

VERY SICK!

I dunno about the others, but I feel the constant need to suppress a boner whenever new teaser material is posted about this project. This must be one of the best looking Doom mods ever.

ooh heck yea i will follow this as well.

Now THAT is an intimidating SOB. Great work BB56. Can't wait for this!

Pretty cool indeed, but I think it's a bit too grainy. I had a similar impression when the Cacovore was shown.
