This looks god damn awesome, as usual. The only thing I noticed are the high res dragons on some low-res flags. That kind of clashes a bit, but other than that, I cannot wait to see this on my computer.

 

Keep it up, and if there's RL stuff, that's always more important and needs to get sorted first. Then back to Doom! We are all still here waiting.

I think i just pissed myself. This looks fantastic. Like DAMN how did you make those crystal thingys shine like that ? Like DAMN man you have a talent. I Hope you make a VaporWave Theme Wad someday. 

those crystals are sprites with GLdefs

My 5th and final map for Refracted Reality is done! Void Noir is complete. This map will bend your mind into a pretzel and then have it for lunch.

 

 

Not long to go now. All that is left is to bugfix, balance, optimise, complete testing, compile the maps into the hub, test the hub, test inter level scripts ...

 

Spoiler

Fuck

Cannot wait to see this for real on my then new computer! Good stuff, looks gorgeous.

[nrofl]

This looks pretty damn cool! Im a big fan.

[Kepehn]

The screenshots are gorgeous AWESOME! It's so rare to see something so Surreal and Epic!

Keep up the good work! I can NOT die without play this Masterpiece first!

Yes, unless we hit any more last-minute snags, it should be released tomorrow- even if it's later in the day. Should any issues arise, it should still be released within the week.

[Bridgeburner56]

With the very near release of Refracted Reality (you can count it in hours) I have been a tad ... introspective. I have lived, breathed and bled for this project for the last 6 months. When I joined it I had not released a single map for play testing let alone public consumption so it has been an interesting experience to say the least. While I think there is always room for improvement and an artist is their own worst critic (yes doom maps are art) I am pleased with what I have made. Are there things I would do better in hindsight? Most certainly. Could I tweak these maps until the heat death of the universe? Absolutely. Am I stoked to be releasing a chunk of maps for whatever critique/approval/damnation or blessings may come? No doubt in my mind. While there have been teething problems I feel privileged to have been a part of this and have very much grown as a mapper while working on this project. I have no doubt that my future works will be better because of this experience.

 

So, here is a snap shot of what I have done for the last half a year and mere hint of what I will be aspiring to make in the near future. This is only the beginning

 

Presenting

 

Void Noir

Where Dragons Dwell

Crimson Chaos

The Infinite Void

Palace of the Black Singularity

Going to vacations?

Well, that's going to be soon... and I'm glad that I made some maps in this.

[leodoom85]

I should post a couple of pics from each map that I did....

From Elysium's Void:

 

From Violent Duality:

[Argent Agent]

Great stuff all around and it looks like it will be a blast to play, KillerKouhai. Great to see that Solaris sky got pimped out too.

[Tribal]

This maps have custom enemies, bosses or weapons?

 

Will i break anything if i play them with my favorites weapons/enemies mods?

Thanks

Release postponed indefinitely. I don't want to give you guys a date and have it fall through yet again. Still in the near future.

[AD_79]

There's no rush, take the time you need to deliver an excellent finished product. The screens look fantastic and I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait!

[elend]

Yeah, please don't rush it. Doom is already 25 years old, we can wait a couple of months or years more, for additional free DLC.

I was about to ask what happened.

 

Eh, I'll live, this is fantastic so take all the time you need to deliver your best :) .

[Kira]

I still need to work on my faith with the Dark Gods and the Great Old Ones before I can properly set foot inside their majestuous temples and monumental altars. The wait is but a blessing in disguise.

[Chalibluefin]

Better to perfect something 1000 times than to never once polish it at all.

[lambsy]

Hey! Been keeping up with development and really looking forward to it, no matter how long it takes.

You have my support!
