Hello guys, sorry for not reporting here for the longest time.

 

Mod's not dead, but I got plenty of stuff happening behind the scenes. Updates are gonna take a while to handle even after I get them released because I need to restructure my file hosting infrastructure to better streamline download availability.

 

Just letting you guys know there's more to come in the near future. I hope I can deploy it soon!

 

Stay tuned, Slayers! :D

My favorite mod for ripping though a megawad. You get stronger as things get more difficult.

Absolutely.  However, I'd be making a whole separate mod to apply the same EOA treatment to DOOM Eternal, instead of slapping such changes on top of EOA itself.

[The Wizard Of Oz]

I have an error when mix EOA with Brutal Doom Monsters Only V21. :(

Game crashes when enemies become dismembered.

Any ideas ?
