I don't think Atari's going to give up Blood until they're bankrupt, and as long as they keep pumping out shovelware arcade game collections I don't think that's going to happen.

Commander Keenan posted:Speaking of Blood, did Tecman ever update his One Unit Whole Blood launcher? That thing was great a few years ago but deserves an update with new maps and DOSBox builds. Nah, I tried rebuilding it a couple of times in C# but I'm just not skilled enough in programming, plus I don't have as much time as I used to. That thing was made in Multimedia Builder and the more I added to it, the more sluggish it became. Not to mention those loving plugins I had to use that triggered AVs a while back - not even sure if they still do, I haven't used the thing in a while now. Really, it would have to be re-written with some design changes - instead of the mods being hardcoded I was looking into a way to make the software read files which would define a mod, its location and its launch options, so modmakers could add thei own mods to it themselves.

They really are kinda assholes about it. It's completely within their rights to be that way, sure, but still.

I believe this has already been posted in the thread, but this retrospective on Powerslave and the company that made the game (Lobotomy Software) is definitely worth the watch, especially now that it's being re-released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMUUrFtwHDY I watched it a couple of weeks ago, so I'm pretty excited to be able to play the Saturn version on PC.

Jblade posted:As a fellower Builder (although for Duke and not Blood) Deathwish is a genuine inspiration to me, the amount of work and detail you poured into each level was fantastic and makes me feel slightly ashamed for only managing that with a handful of levels (well I've released TCs full of pretty lovely levels, but at least nowadays it's quantity over quality for me) I'm really eager to check out this improved version! MONKET posted:Followed the Twitter! I think it's just amazing how you can work through the limitations of DOS without any new editors or anything and create something entirely new and refreshing while still sticking to the roots. Adding support for speedrunning sounds great too and would add a lot of replayability to the maps. I'm totally psyched for the new version to come out and can't wait to see what other goodies you've added and what other secret levels you might have in store. Thanks! A few of the add ons (like Bloody Pulp Fiction) introduced new textures and had installers, but people were always complaining about it so I just did a drag and drop method to get DW running using whatever already came with Blood/Plasma Pak. Cryptic Passage added some new art with an installer without any issue, but that was the exception. CP is a really good set of levels if you haven't played them yet, even though they spent about 45 seconds coming up with the plot. I played through the original Blood levels many, many times to try and figure out what made them work/fail before I got started, and also to make sure I wasn't retreading too much ground (so if I was going to have a castle map, it should either be radically different from Blood's castle maps or don't bother). I think when a lot of creators want to make a map that lives up to the original Blood content, they're trying too hard to mimic things they saw in the base game like the level themes instead of the real reasons levels were enjoyable. I was actually making maps for Duke3D before Blood was released and I kinda missed that, which is one of the reasons I have some of the sci-fi stuff peppered in. If I stuck with Duke I'd probably have a lot more fans

What's the limitation in reverse-engineering Blood based on the Duke3D source code? I'm wondering given how well the original Strife reverse engineering project worked out.

Bouchacha posted:What's the limitation in reverse-engineering Blood based on the Duke3D source code? I'm wondering given how well the original Strife reverse engineering project worked out. Strife is Doom with a bunch of poo poo bolted on/hacked in. Blood may share the 3D engine of Duke3D, but all the game code is completely different. It's possible to reverse engineer and there is actually people doing so, but it's a far bigger effort that it was with Strife since it's essentially a game re-creation. EDIT: I should probably explain that a bit better. Strife is Doom in that even the gameplay elements like enemy AI, physics, level scripting such as linedefs are directly derived from Doom. It's an extension of the game itself. Blood has very little in common with Duke3D except for the core rendering engine and a few other small things. The map format is different, the way it stores assets is different, physics, AI, scripting are all implemented in a different way. This is because Monolith never actually had access to Build's source code, instead the only got a precompiled lump that they hooked into with their own game code. EDIT 2: I've read leaked Monolith developer comments from that time, they're hilarious. They really hated Build

I wasn't expecting it to be a commercial re-release! I hope that GZDoom remake of the PC version continues alongside it, too. I'd love to be able to play both upgraded to modern spec. Makes it all the more interesting that they're completely different games sharing art assets and nothing else.

I just played through the first episode of UV Valiant, and I think it's pretty well balanced so far. I'm also playing with saves/no pistol start, but even so, but it doesn't seem like it's made too much a difference, aside from the city map. Maybe I'm about to get my rear end handed to me in the second episode, I guess we'll see. The only map I think I died more than three or four times was Mancubian Candidate. Best levels are definitely the smaller ones that develop as you fight, e.g. No Rush, Tiers of Pain, Aggrovator. I really like the new imps as well. It messed with my "muscle memory" (as Prenton put it) a bit, but it really helps to make them more of a threat, somewhere in between where they were before and hitscan. The arachnotron post-death enemies are also pretty neat. Pretty threatening, but easy to take care of. Really looking forward to the rest of it, although the suicide enemies sound annoying. Also the new pistol is boss af

I guess that confirms it's the Saturn version of Powerslave shown off in Kaiser's screens, then, not the PS1 one. Either way, that Night Dive is pursuing a rerelease of the console version pleases me.

I'm a couple maps into Episode 2 of Valiant, and the difficulty definitely is bumped up a notch. I felt like the concept of Fourteen Angrier Archviles could've been realized a bit better, but for whatever reason the author also chose that map to debut a new enemy, so there's a lot going on there. I feel both new enemies I've seen so far are interesting concepts, but their ability to deal a lot of damage very quickly is somewhat frustrating. I do like that they seem very prone to infighting, which is a sorely underappreciated feature of Doom that is tragically absent in most other FPSes.

The recent previews of the latest Brutal Doom mod made me load that up again. It's still pretty darn fun.Animal-Mother posted:Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is on the Humble Bundle at the moment. I had forgotten that with fully-powered Force Run, you can kill yourself by sprinting into the walls. A played a lot of this back in the day. It was definitely a flawed game, but the sense of scale the engine let them impart was mighty impressive. The super-sized environments felt very Star Wars-y.

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/71767-instadoom-screw-nofilter-rc1/ There have been various attempts over the years to "improve" the Doom palette. While these attempts had various goals, and succeeded to various degrees, one question remains: did the authors get paid billions of dollars for recoloring pictures? No? Then their attempts were objectively inferior to one group of people who did!  That's right, now you can play Doom with any one of no less than 37 real Instagram filters, all painstakingly recreated in the Doom engine! Memento Mori with Mayfair! Requiem with Rise! Icarus with Inkwell! Alien Vendetta with Aden or Valencia!          BEHOLD THE FIDELITY! CAN YOU TELL INSTAGRAM VALENCIA FROM INSTADOOM VALENCIA???    In some cases, InstaDoom even IMPROVES on the filters! Here is "1977" applied to a screenshot. The middle is the real Instagram filter! It looks like hot garbage! The right is InstaDoom, where it is at least usable!   And that's not all! Download now and also receive:  You can only take so many pictures of Show how artistic you are while visiting far-off places!  Use the rule of thirds to compose your slaughter!  Let the world know what you think of something crazy you just saw!  All this and more!! Download now!!
