it's a secret ;)

@Urthar it's been fixed and will be in the next update (along with many other fixes and improvements).

Don't think I've ever noped out of a game, but if I did it was when I first met this guy.

powerful, demonic forces construct them on the fly with atoms pulled from the surrounding environment

It uses Darkplaces, with minor modifications. Being Darkplaces, you can add realtime lights, HD effects, normal/specular/parallax maps, bloom, motion blur, etc etc but your mileage will vary depending on your skill and the time you invest.

Are you referring to real time lights? I'm not sure those are even on by default, but if they are just turn them off in the options menu.

QuakeSpasm, generally. MarkV for software renderer (really nice) Darkplaces if you want to mod the ever living shit out of it. DP can look vanilla with some minor tweaking, but the previously mentioned sourecports are a better choice.

is "adequate" the word you're looking for?

I think Descent actually predates Terminator.

IMO saves are a mechanic and should be treated as such. That would entail 1) integrating saves thematically into the game, and 2) balancing them so they can't be exploited to subvert the game itself.

My ranking of Doom from best to worst (currently): Doom II: The Plutonia Experiment The Ultimate Doom Doom 3 Doom II: Evilution Doom II Doom 2016 Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil Doom 64

Can't wait to play. It launches on my birthday :D
