[Gerardo194]

 

Hi folks, as you already know: I am working on the cut content from Doom 64 started by me and suggested stuff from people here! This cut content includes the four missing Doom 2 monsters, the models created by Gregor Punchatz ant the "cut" weapon animations as suggested be people here and other websites.

 

Now GEC (@Gerardo194 @Erick194 and @Chris194) is working on the special episode for Doom 64, titled: Journey into the Chaos.

The main purpose of this project now is making a special episode that takes place after killing the Mother Demon,  Doomguy realizes the demons want to take over Earth again now with Spider Demon at the helm. In this episode Doomguy must stop Spider Mastermind from creating a cosmic chaos using the Gate of Stars.

This episode consists of a nine level episode a la DOOM. Here the Demons you know for the upcoming episode:

Awesome! Is this running in DZDoom? :)

[Average]

Sounds good.  Keep us up to date.  It's not too often there's an exciting project to follow in the Doom64 world. :)

[UnholyShadows]

This is fantastic news!  I eagerly await more updates, keep up the Excellent work Team GEC.

[Salahmander2]

Looks pretty damn good, also I love the fact screenshots seem to look like those you'd see in old gaming magazines. Kinda an amusing touch.

[DoomedPerson]

Nice. DOOM 64 really needs more attention.

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

Glad you're feeling better, Geraldo. This looks awesome.

[Lila Feuer]

Oh yes yes this is very good looking indeed.

Forget about the old monsters pics. In the Twitter account you will see the updated ones!

Something i noticed about the Scavenger is that her design kinda reminds me of that wall texture of skin with metal pipes.

Like one of those designs that fits some parts of Hell's aesthetic.

Literally can't wait for this. I hope this turns out to be good! 

[BlueThunder]

The missing monsters look pretty awesome,  looking forward to playing this.

So, is this being made for the real N64 & emulators?

This will be for the GEC's source port called DZDoom mainly but a N64 and emulators version could be a possibility. Why not? :)

 

Sorry for late reply, i have been busy with work.

That would be awsome.
Got an Everdrive last Month and this is the Stuff it mades it really worth it.

Great Work with the Monsters, their Look really matches the Rest of the Game.

New poster. 

[Rudolph]

Cool!!!

 

But what are the two-headed dog creature, the twin-cannon Cyberdemon and whatever the monster with the glowing red palms supposed to be replacing? Are they brand-new monsters? How do they fit into the existing Doom bestiary?

 

Also, slight nitpick (although I could be wrong): I believe it should be "Journey Into Chaos".

They are cut enemies from Doom 64.

 

And both “Journey into the Chaos” and “Journey into Chaos” are correct.

 

Looking good Gerardo! Super excited for this!

[Dzierzan]

I can't wait to see them rendered as invidual sprites. Will they have overpainting applied though?

Kinda makes me wish this would come to the PC port in a manner similar to the Unity ports.

I remember wanting the new levels for the D64 port to be based off the unused ideas and concepts of the original game, with the cut monsters and the Aztec theme.

But of course that never came to be and i can't blame them.

 

This episode also reminds me of Doom Delta (and other mods like that, rip Tei Tenga Incident), in a way that feels like restoring history from an alt timeline.

Uh... how do I view those screenshots? I can't see them.

I recall Quasar I think, mentioning that they DID try to track down someone that did a Revenant sprite for Doom 64, in the intent of buying the rights for it, for use in the new port, but the person was basically a ghost at this point.

[whatup876]

Which one?

The closest to knowing about D64 Revy sprites are either this project or DrPySpy.

I think I tried to contact that person before and never got a response, even though they seemed active on twitter. Perhaps that model got lost.

You're welcome @Cacovile Jackson

I know you will enjoy this project coming soon. 

[Gerardo194]

Hello everyone! Hope you all are fine! The purpose of this post is to let you know how the project is going... Despite this has taken a long time, we have not stopped working on it. Here some of the details I want to share:

 

1. The new monsters have been digitalized to smaller sprites to make them fit in the game. There are some that needs some sprite work after digitalization process, like cleaning some rubbish left on the sprite.

2. The weapon animations are in WIP state (not referring to the rendered screenshots posted before), in order to be added in the game.

3. Some maps being reworked... some of my map designs were not convincent to me so my youngest brother is helping me because his maps look better than mine.

4. New textures will be added too.

5. A super heavily scripted story is being added to the game which explains with tons of cinematics how Doom Games are connected to each other making a bridge to the Doom Universe.

6. "Scavenger" enemy is being redesigned.

 

The sprites look really good but I don't want to spoil much content about them now but I am redesigning the "Scavenger" enemy because this gave us some pain in the ass when digitalizing the sprites. but quite sire the new model will be better than the previous ones. 

[SteelPH]

It'll be worth the wait, I wager.

[Erick22]

Great! the monsters looks pretty good.
