EDGE 1.35 Released

Andrew Apted has released EDGE 1.35. Since he was the sole developer and he mentioned that he is backing out of the project, this also (sadly) means the end of EDGE. So grab 1.35 and play a little Immoral Conduct in memoriam. The changelog is here.

it's always a shame to see someone leave a project, but is understandable. hopefully he's not leaving the community.

He's still working on OBLIGE.

RIP EDGE. I remember back when it was called DOSDoom and the name change. It's had a good run. Well done to Andrew for maintaining it for so long.

Thanks for all the good work!

Hooray for EDGE! Doom Resurrection was today's generic zdoom mod before generic zdoom mods existed. Also Andrew rocks socks anyway

Same here, it was actually the first port introducing custom additional weapons. There was a pretty big weaponpack around with even a nuke launcher... that was quite impressive in that time

Was that the overhyped project with like 500 weapons that died after it released a one-level preview that everyone hated?

Earthbound Doom?

That's the one. Or, as I like to call it, AEons of Deaths spiritual predecessor.

The one I'm thinking of was way earlier. It might have been a DOSDoom TC.

I'm pretty sure it was the aforementioned one with the nuke launcher

I remember Doom Resurrection! I loved the "Super Imps" that shot Cacodemon fireballs. In fact I stole them for a wad of my own that never got done.

The Nuke launcher was a bit naff, mind. The explosion was just the same as the rocket launcher explosion, and then you died, and so did everything else in a huge radius. Also most of the levels were nicked off the Harris Levels.

Still it was good fun at the time.
