If you like Final Doom, myhouse.pk3 or exploration heavy games with lots of hidden secrets to find, you should go check out this wad ASAP. I've been crawling through it over the last several days and I've only figured out about half of the secret puzzles.

This feels like the kind of thing you should really experience blind while you have the chance. I would not be surprised if this ended up in the Cacowards this year, it's a real gem of a wad.

Tokkouyaku - Momochi Eng Lyrics

oh my god i just woke up. sorry i've been busy with a lot of other obligations so i havent been able to tl as much.! will get to everything eventually.. here's the lyrics to tokkouyaku/wonder drug that iwad posted on twt :)

Arm in arm on the tatami mats, getting torn from each other

This fabricated love, do you like it?

Shining, blinding, in the depths of the obsession

I’ve prepared lies, rewriting them

Before the venom seeps in, I push for love

I’ve found the limits of wholehearted lust

The drowning flower petals are glittering

Rejoicing in the taste of the cherry blossom in your mouth

“Why, now, are you suffering?”

Swallow me whole, and bloom…

The abyss of sleep, once you have awoken the chime will ring out

An irresolute dream, will you drink it up?

[holidxyy]

noelle. no. elle.

hi sorry iwad n. nf inclass and mygran dms made me spaghett hi hi

I think I know what Rejet's next move could be for DL (Soft theory)

-- Rejet's slogan for 2023: REVAMP -reform-. From IwaD's X account

I have a hunch they might have cooked an epic comeback in 2023 and we're already seeing the first hints about where it all could lead to.

Today I was welcomed by every diaboy as kids when I opened twitter and, despite being a pleasant surprise (they all look adorable) it got me thinking.

Before anything, keep in mind that this is only a thought exercise. I myself admit this scenario might be too optimistic.

This last year, IwaD became quite active on their socials (at least from my POV). Doing polls about which merch lines people prefer, minor coloring preferences, interest checks... In their ongoing projects, they intend to open a new cafe, concept room, and store.

Lately, they've been doing a lot of recruitment posts, even going to the extent of making their own website for job listings. That one being:

In their tweet about this, IwaD says the following:

Clearly hinting at Rejet coming back into game/CD development (even tho he might be just doing some damage control).

Coming back to their new merch release (at the time I'm writing this, Millennium Summer, the one with them as kids with sunflowers), the title instantly catches my attention. As the last time they did merch of their younger selves, the set starts with the word 'Millennium'. As if they were trying to build a separate SUBbrand around them as kiddos.

To me, this is interesting in itself, because I enjoy marketing a lot, but this could hint at something bigger. Another odd thing they did lately was releasing YUI MERCH!!! (happy screaming SFX) and for it, they did 7 whole Yui outfits. Kind of a LOT for people that before weren't even thinking about doing any merch with her.

If you think about it, there are tons to say about the diaboys' childhoods. It's true that we know some big canon events, but, taking into account how many years they've been alive, it wouldn't be difficult for them to add some new content there. I know I don't talk for everyone here, but I believe their childhoods to be one of the most fascinating aspects of DL's lore.

Hear me out, what were the last story-related things Rejet released? Daylight and Youngblood. Yes, Youngblood, the mangas about them as children. They were already thinking about this before going on this nightmare of a hiatus.

I truly believe Rejet's next move could be a new game with their childhood selves as protagonists, with Yui taking the role of a storyteller/narrator and using some of her merch outfits as new sprites. She could even be a Karlheinz-like figure, that tries to give advice to the children from time to time.

I haven't researched the personal situation of all of DL's seiyuus, but I know there have been some controversies (such as Ruki's VA getting seriously canceled when the whole DL hiatus thing was starting). This could help avoid any backlash since they'd have to cast new people to do their kiddie voices. This would also be way cheaper for them since most of DL's seiyuus are very famous. No matter how I think about it, this would be a flawless move for them. Heck, they could even lure into DL some of the people who are afraid of the brand due to its original bad press if they turn it into a whole subbrand (which they're already starting to do) with a separate new name and a pretty makeover on top.

On the other hand, if they want to go for drama CDs first, I don't think they would do them from their baby POVs, depending on the voice, they could sound really annoying for a 1 hour CD + I doubt people would buy them at all. In that case, they might do a first run of CDs with the original VA cast (this would also allow them to test whether the public cares about canceled VAs) with our guys retelling a main event from each of their childhoods. This could be a direct segue into a game that would explain each of the new old conflicts.

Again, I know this is foolishly optimistic, I myself I'm hopefully skeptical, but I hope you've enjoyed this thought exercise. Who knows, maybe there's a timeline where Millennium Devils is a thing, or maybe I come from the future.

Update: THEY JUST DID A 4KOMA WITH THEIR MILLENNIUM SUMMER ILLUSTRATION I'M VIBRATING I KNEW IT AAAA

Doomed Worlds - Interval 35f

IWAD: Alien Vendetta (2001) a 32-level megawad for Doom II Compatibility: Vanilla Screenshots: Used Nugget Doom source port

[blazehedgehog]

I see doom classic on my timeline, I’ll bite: what’s your go-to mod loadout for doom? Any preferences as far as source ports go?

Over the years I have gone back and forth on how much modding is enough modding for me. Like I used to be the sort of guy that would track Half-Life modding forums and had his HL1 fully kitted out with custom models and even sounds I'd modified personally.

This 14 year old screenshot might not look super different to the untrained eye, but it's modded to hell. That's a completely new gun model, those blood decals are modded, and I think I personally edited Barney's face texture here to have his Half-Life 2 texture.

At some point I backed off and appreciated the vanilla experience more, but not with Doom. Doom's always been something I mod and mod and mod.

It started out with the Doomsday source port in, like, 2009, which I liked because it added rudimentary lighting support. Torches and fireballs would glow. It also had support for 3D models and HD texture packs, but I realized how silly that looked.

I moved on to a GZDoom mod called Beautiful Doom, which kept more of the Traditional Doom Flavor while also keeping things like lighting support and adding in more gore, remastered audio, and smoother animations. But then Beautiful Doom stopped being just a cosmetic mod and started prodding at gameplay changes.

So I've moved on to replicating what I like about Beautiful Doom, but through a huge list of different mods. Not only do I get most of the way to Beautiful Doom, I extend beyond it a little ways, too. My batch file looks like this:

gzdoom.exe updatemods/nashgore.pk3 lights.pk3 brightmaps.pk3 updatemods/caulkpc.pk3 updatemods/DoomMetalVol7.wad updatemods/FDHUD_FD.pk3 updatemods/immerse_v104.pk3 updatemods/MBlur1.03a.pk3 updatemods/SmoothDoom.pk3 updatemods/BloodFixerPlus.wad updatemods/steve_flashlight_2018.02.12.pk7 updatemods/FDHUD_FD.pk3 updatemods/SpriteShadow_v1.85.pk3 -iwad doom.wad

Which is:

Nash's Gore Mod, with the settings basically cranked to max ingame

GZDoom's Lights and Brightmaps, which makes torches/etc. glow

Sound Caulking, which remasters all weapon sounds

Doom Metal Volume 7, a music replacement mod

A Final Doom (PS1) HUD mod

The General Purpose Immersive Camera Mutator, which adds a bunch of little things: footstep sounds, camera sway on turning, leaning, etc.

Simple Motion Blur, which adds motion blur to camera rotations (think Half-Life 2)

Smooth Doom, which gives weapons and monsters 3x as many frames of animation.

Blood Fixer Plus, which may or may not be needed anymore? It makes monsters bleed the correct colors (blue for cacodemons, green for barons of hell, etc.)

Steve's Flashlight Mod, in combination with turning the map brightness down a little to make it more moody.

And lastly a mod to add correct floor shadows to monsters, which I can't actually find a download for anymore.

The only thing I miss is that I think Brightmaps also used to make monsters' eyes glow in the dark, and Smooth Doom does not have support for that.

Anyway, all those mods together gives us this:

(The framerate drops in this recording bother me; I know my system is getting old, but I think playing this at 120hz impacted the recording. It looked smooth for me, but the recording drops frames more than a little. And it's Doom. It shouldn't be doing this)
