Gifty Posted September 27 (edited) Deep, dark, brown and bloody... You cleaned out the haunted moons of Mars. Passed through the door of no return. Braced yourself for cosmic uncertainty, only to find--home? No. At least, not as you left it. This place may look familiar, but the smell of fried feces and nuclear leftovers tells the truth. This brown, burned out wasteland is the UAC Texas base. Those ass-faced bloodsuckers from Hell have followed you back. DOOM begins again, and this time... ...Well, obviously, it's personal. (Coming Soon!) >>DOWNLOAD<< +================MAPLIST=================+ Map01 - "In On The Kill Taker" (✔ finished) Map02 - "Scratch Acid" (✔ finished) Map03 - "1000 Hurts" (✔ finished) Map04 - "Atomizer" (✔ finished) Map05 - "Dead Cross" (✔ finished) Map06 - "Stoner Witch" (WIP) +==============SCREENSHOTS===============+ +==============DESCRIPTION================+ HOE Shareware is my attempt to imagine what a DOOM II shareware episode would have looked like, had the sequel followed a more traditional chapter-based style. I tried not to make a DTWID-style factually accurate variant of DOOM II, but more a cloudy miasma of the DOOM II I always saw in my head based on back-of-the-box description and strategy guide flavor text. Also, on release H.O.E.S.W. (whew) will include a mood-setting thrash metal soundtrack composed by me, similar to the Sigil SHREDS addon WAD. Coming soon to an imaginary electronics store near you! +===============CREDITS=================+ general textures: LoneAlpha2401 general textures: Cage general textures: Jimmy computer textures: Antares031 carpet textures: Nick Baker Mancubus edit sprites: 00_zombie_00 Edited October 26 by Gifty : changed header graphic 35 Share this post Link to post

kknot5889 Posted September 30 Any estimate on release? This sounds like a fun little map set. 0 Share this post Link to post

akhlq Posted September 30 (edited) I, for one, highly appreciate the map names. Interesting concept, too. Looking forward! 1 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted October 1 HOEASS. Classic. But probably don't want to google search it at work. I hope they make the Back to Saturn X texture wad BTSXASS so I can use HOEASS and BTSXASS together. 1 Share this post Link to post
Zodomaniac Posted October 2 Is there any DEHACKED? I hope not, so that it can be played with SMOOTHED (Smooth monsters for Doom Retro and Crispy Doom) and Black Ops smooth weapons DEHACKED mod. 0 Share this post Link to post

Currently it's planned to have a DEHACKED for a couple minor changes I won't spoil here. ALSO: Progress on the final map is going smoothly, so it's reasonable to expect that we'll be in beta testing soon! To commemorate, here's a screenshot of the WIP final level showing off the new custom HUD. AND, to get you pumped up, here's a scintillating rough mix of one of the songs in the bundled soundtrack (don't worry, that awful solo is gonna go). Enjoy! 6 Share this post Link to post

This is looking like a great episode. Can't wait for the beta! 2 Share this post Link to post
LoneAlpha2401 Posted Wednesday at 06:16 PM Looks epic! It's cool seeing some of my textures are being used in a project. 0 Share this post Link to post
