Doomsday (1.9.10) Is Upon Us

What kind of grandeur is envisioned for Doomsday 2? Or is it too early to say/ask?

moar lens flares!!

seriously, real time lighting and shadows. Assuming such a thing is possible in a 2D engine :)

Some of our plans are laid out in the development roadmap. This is by no means an exhaustive list of what will be, however.

I had actually given up on Doomsday getting a new release, great to see it still alive and kicking. I'll be readding it to my port folder :D

Doomsday probably gets more stable releases than any other port since 1.9.7 though :p

It's intended that a new stable release be made every 3-4 months. Twice a week unstable builds are also created (three times a week when preparing for a new stable release).

EDIT: to prehaps do a bit of promotion; Dday has a built in updater that can be set to automatically inform you when a new stable or unstable build is availible.

Hmm. I had to take long breaks from Doom during various computer breakdowns, I remembver Doomsday always being unstable after a certain point, with long development times that never seemed to go anywhere. I guess I got out of the loop on it. Anyway, hope its progress goes well. Im just happy I can use it again!
