Ruba's Story: A Plea from the Heart of Suffering

After a full year of war, I find myself, Ruba, living moments that could be my last. Each passing day could be our final one, as we have witnessed our friends fall one by one. Today, I ask for your help after more than 50 displacements and continuous suffering, living in a state of constant fear and unending bombardment.

Death passes before us daily, and the situation has become akin to the horrors of Judgment Day. We live in indescribable fear and terror, as if we are trapped between the walls of death. I need your support now more than ever, as my family and I search for ways to save ourselves and meet our basic needs.

Please, do not forget our story. Your help can change our lives and give us hope for a better tomorrow. We are living in difficult conditions, and with your support, we can rebuild our lives anew

After a long hiatus, enjoy some squid riding high-voltage explosive karts. I'm not dead, my computer broke and stayed that way for a while.

GITHMAP (Githyanki Stronghold game)

Explore a Githyanki stronghold in this FREE, non-combat, museum-like experience. 

Discover Dungeons&Dragons Original Characters from many other creators, uncover trivia and find secrets in this short one-map GZdoom fangame based on the Githyanki race. 

Inspired by the beggining of "The Lich-Queens Beloved" adventure and using Baldur's Gate 3 as base.

STORY

"Val'ty (Jez'rathki) was investigating the source of the earthquakes threatening her homeland, the city of Tu'narath in the astral plane. 

Following a clue, the Vlaakith's devotee got her hands on a heretical Githyanki disc revealing that Susurrus (Her Queen's palace) is the culprit for the series of tragedies on her land.

However, reporting the findings to his superiors led to the end of the research, the destruction of the disk, and an unfortunate visit from the Queen's inquisitors.

Soon, evidence of Jez'rathki's treason surfaced.

Now, rescued from near death and brought back by rebels, Jez'rathki wakes up in a strange stronghold, but one thing is certain, she still knows the disk's truth, but not sure of what to do with the dangerous information."

Kill James Bond has ruined my brain to the point that I'm currently doing very early planning for a '60s spy movie-themed GZDoom game where the tutorial takes the form of a "009 Scene".

[doom-nerdo-666]

This demonic castle by Doom-X-Machina looked so cool.

Obviously, lot's of good stuff in the thread but this just happened to have caught my eye.

MyHouse.WAD rambling time

Okay, so I've been kinda smitten with the newest topic the internet has latched onto, mainly because it's a mix of narrative twisting, liminal spaces and DOOM.

I haven't been so fortunate as to play MyHouse.WAD myself, but BOY HOWDY DO I KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT ANYWAY.

Probably the saddest part of my knowledge about this shit is that I went full House of Leaves on a copy of the automap (which you shouldn't really have, but WADs need to have map geometry somewhere.

Big spoilers for MyHouse.WAD ahead! Read on at your own peril!

...

Still here? It appears you're quite brave. Well, let us delve into the map of the House.

Among the map of the House, you might notice where, and what I've written. I won't spoil it. Delve into the file for yourself, see my 3AM ramblings.

You can see the main thing I latched onto, clear as day:

"Happiness has to be fought for."

And why shouldn't I? It's arguably the most profound message this map gives you. At the top, there's a small summary I gave about MyHouse, and its inner workings. Quote:

The house. All orientations are displayed in the grid, and are highlighted by orange. Utilises silent teleports and UDMF features to slowly but surely drive you insane trying to track down everything within the confines of its walls. It leads everywhere, and nowhere.

I know, chilling. right? Looking at the writings, you'd think I was only half there when I wrote them.

Probably the only other massively chilling thing is the message for disabling IDDQD (god mode for those uninitiated into the circles of Ye Olde Doom):

There is no good outcome from a house fire.

AND BOY, DOES IT SURE LIKE TO REMIND YOU OF THAT FACT IF YOU GO AHEAD WITH IT ANYWAY!

Ending 1 is the creepiest bit of the house's machinations. You trip the breaker, the lights go dark, and suddenly, you hear screaming from above you. Children, adults, who knows, all you know is that the air is thick with smoke, and they just keep screaming. You can't find them upstairs, so you check back downstairs, only to notice...

The walls have changed. The house is no longer wallpaper and carpet. The only thing remaining on the house's walls is the windows, and they show that even the garden has changed. Where there was plant life, there is now only stalagmites. Going to the boiler room shows you the garage door has returned... but it doesn't lead to the garage.

I'm leaving that there. If you want to play MyHouse.WAD for yourself, please, as a reminder, use GZDoom, not DOOM II: Hell On Earth. As much as the original was good, the WAD is just a bit too chunky for it to run in the original game. DOS software is only so powerful, after all.

Thanks to the help from @Sebas54el , more improvements have been made! The reloading effect has now been fully incorporated, crit spots only appear when hovering over enemies, and the health recovery now plays the proper sfx!

[jarkonian]

Hello um please watch this. As much as you can but preferably every second of it.

[theburningsketchbook]

Can’t believe this was just a doom .wad

[terminusest13]

Feels surprising to realize I've been working on this for three, almost four years now.

Finally starting to solidify into something.

[darsycho]

HOLY FUCKBALLS I ONLY GOT 30 SECONDS TO MOW THE ENTIRE FUCKIN LAWN I BETTER HURRY THE FUCK UP

[wjbs-mods]

I know how to do 3D floors now, which means I can make bridges without having to use portals. Also Quake-style wall-blocks and grates and stuff probably.

Githyanki GZDoom fangame (updates)

"They thought it would be just another hunt, but this was no ordinary illithid colony. Trained to kill the monsters that enslaved her kin, Val'ty, a Gish Mindslayer, has to find her way out of this wicked labyrinth."

The fangame got a cover art by Palicrone

It's going to have a few original music for the soundtrack

And a few (work in progress) screenshots

That's it, until next time.
