Pieruskwurje Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Insanity Edged is a GZDoom mod for Doom 2 with 3(???) playable maps, a new set of weapons, and a cinematic story line. You follow the story of the ex-UAC operative Jacob Rowland, tasked by an underground organization to retrieve an unrefined sample of the scarce demonic resource Hellfire Fuel. Traversing the valleys of the Insanity's Edge mining complex, Jacob discovers things better left to the unknown. Screenshots: Spoiler ???: Spoiler Download here. Please note: It is recommended that you play using the latest official release of GZDoom (tested on 4.12.0). The mod has been designed with use of Light Shadowmaps and Bloom Effect being turned on, but they are not mandatory. Insanity Edged is not designed to be played with any other addons. The mod contains a very small amount of bright/flashing lights that may be harmful for people who experience photosensitive seizures. This mod is in the same universe as Winter's Fury. I think that playing Winter's Fury first is better, but there's no reason why you couldn't play Insanity Edged first either. I truly hope you enjoy it. I welcome any and all feedback, and would love to hear about your experiences playing.

IcarusOfDaggers Posted December 7, 2022 Ok.... I just received word of incredibly detailed wad, then a teaser of another one and you bring me another one? Yes, christmas has arrived early with those two teasers and a message. (Other ones are made by (redacted), but both are long term projects in early prototype). 2 Share this post Link to post
Zakken Posted December 7, 2022 Congrats on getting as much work done as you have so far! As a huge fan of some of your other work, I'll certainly be watching over this one. 1 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted December 7, 2022 Oh hell yes, always excited for more GZDoom-focused single-player levels! The screenshots look incredible, I'm excited to see what amazing vistas you've whipped up this time! 5 Share this post Link to post

TJG1289 Posted December 7, 2022 I've been waiting for a Winter's Fury follow-up for so long now. It's the only Doom mod whose story I really, really liked. The way that one ended really set up a sequel, and I see this isn't a direct one and more of a same universe thing, but still. Looking forward to it! 1 Share this post Link to post
El Juancho Posted December 7, 2022 The screenshots look absolutly gorgeous 2 Share this post Link to post

I 've tried to make it so it's both a direct follow-up and a separate-but-same universe thing at the same time, even if you don't play as Elliott and there's no Winter monsters around! (Unless you're talking about the original 2012 version of Winter's Fury, which I think had a different ending entirely thrown together at the last minute. 2013 onwards should be fine though!) 4 Share this post Link to post
Terminus Posted December 8, 2022 I've been a long time fan of your works and I thought you quit. I'm genuinely happy to see this project, and the 10 year (jesus christ) update for Winter's Fury as well! Can't wait to finally get to play this! 2 Share this post Link to post

Cardboard Marty Posted May 19, 2023 Winter's Fury is one of my favorite map sets, so seeing a sequel that takes on a much warmer/jungle environment is extremely cool! Looking forward to this! 4 Share this post Link to post
Epstein_Murdered_Why Posted July 20, 2023 I'm just starting getting back into the Doom scene again. It's been many years since I've dipped my toes in these waters. I am routinely astounded by the quality of the new maps. Their level of blockiness compared to maps from 10 years ago... There are far more facets to most of the terrain and architectural elements, and all for the better. I've just downloaded Winter's Fury, and I can't wait to play it. Your current effort looks just as gorgeous and thoughtful. I am VERY impressed. Thank you for all of your hard work, and your generosity in sharing it with us. 1 Share this post Link to post
