The Inmost Dens

@inmost-dens

A showcase blog for gathering together news and releases across the Doom community, with occasional nods to the other cool retro FPSes as well. It's real easy to lose track of all the new stuff that's come out (or is coming out) across all of the different forums, especially when more popular mods consistently get bumped up or you simply don't follow a forum! This will hopefully mitigate how easy it is for things to get swept away in the tides by keeping (relatively) up to date with (relatively) new and interesting releases.

Name: The Slaughter Spectrum Author: Bridgeburner Game: Doom 2 (doom2.wad) Source Port: GZDoom Type: Mapset (MAP01 - MAP05) Link: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/106310-the-slaughter-spectrum-rc1-release/ Release date: May 16, 2019

Are you a fan of curved linedefs? Do you love colors IN SPACE? Check out Bridgeburner’s latest release. These 5 maps (or 4 if you don’t count the hub) were to be released in Refracted Reality but have become their own entity. Seriously, check it out, it’s pretty nuts. Just make sure your GZDoom is up to date or it’ll look like a (beautiful) slideshow.

Set of 12 brutal boom speedmaps by the one and only, Ribbiks. If you’ve played Sunlust et al you’ll have an idea of what’s in store. Make sure you’re comfortable with sr50 before you jump into this one.

Name: Lilywhite Lilith Author: Various (Doomer Boards Project) Game: Doom 2 (doom2.wad) Source Port: Limit Removing Type: Mapset (MAP01 - MAP10) Link: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/106051-lilywhite-lilith-a-limit-removing-project-from-doomer-boards/ Release date: May 01, 2019

The 10th wad in the Doomer Boards Project series, Lilywhite Lilith, certainly stands out. The difficulty ramps up but never gets to be overly hard and that matches the atmosphere for the most part.

Name: Hurt Author: elend Game: Doom 2 (doom2.wad) Source Port: GZDoom Type: Map (Map01) Link: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/105598-hurt-singleplayer-map-in-hell/ Release date: April 15, 2019

An exceedingly moody Hell map using (mostly) vanilla resources. This map oozes Hellish vibes all tied together with an eerie amelodic midi. The gameplay is hampered a bit by key hunting as some areas can look similar but it’s nothing major.

Name: Doom Expanded 2.0 Author: BlueFireZ88 Game: Doom (doom.wad), Doom 2 (doom2.wad), Final Doom (tnt.wad, plutonia.wad) Source port: GZDoom Type: Gameplay mod (weapons + enemies modified) Link: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=63723 Release date: March 26, 2019

This is your typical middle of the road Doom enhancement mod. The weapon sounds are chunk enough, the gore isn’t overdone and the brightmaps are striking. All the while it still feels like what we’ve seen in Smooth Doom, Nashgore etc as it’s essentially a compilation of various author’s works albeit tweaked. It won’t blow your mind but it does what it sets out to do well enough.

Name: UNBELIEVER Author: Ryath Game: Heretic (heretic.wad) Source Port: Vanilla Type: Megawad (E1M1 - E3M9) Link: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/105690-unbeliever-a-three-episode-vanilla-heretic-megawad/ Release date: April 19, 2019

Each episode of this speed megawad is in it’s own style - Gimmicky Gauntlets, Limited Linedefs, Tricky Trials. I wasn’t expecting too much but most maps ended up being quite enjoyable - notably E1 Gimmicky Gauntlets. Most levels are fairly short so if you’ve want a quick hit of Heretic action grab this wad.

Name: Chainworm Kommando 2 Author: Chainworm666 Game: Doom 2 (doom2.wad) Source Port: GZDoom Type: Mapset (MAP01 - MAP05) Link: http://chainworm.de/ Release date: December 26, 2018

The demo for Chainworm Kommando 2 was released late last year after being cancelled. It’s got enough solid content that its worth playing - especially if you like sector art/furniture.

Name: Doom Den of Design Author: Yatte_Mimashou Game: Doom 2 (doom2.wad) Source port: Limit-removing (one area involves jumping) Type: Map (MAP01) Link: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=63530 Release date: February 03, 2018 Doom Den of Design is a bit of an oddity as it’s not a traditional map, instead it teaches various design principles with practical examples.

It’s divided into 5 areas - Map Layout, Variety and Dynamics, Flow and Navigation, Texture and Combat aka Gameplay. It is currently in beta.

Name: MINDBLOOD GENESIS Author: SuperCupcakeTactics, Big Ol' Billy and Xyzzy01 Game: Doom 2 Source port: Limit-removing Type: Mapset (MAP01 - MAP-09) Link: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/104171-mindblood-genesis-dbp08-released-a-limit-removing-project-from-doomer-boards/ Release date: February 02, 2018

The eighth installment of Doom Board Project (DBP) has been released as a 9 map wad. There’s a deep thread of blood and gore running through all of the maps that gets knocked up a notch with use of custom decorations and textures (you’ll be seeing a lot of blood). The difficulty itself is also quite brutal in parts but never unfair.

ZeroMaster does That Thing again. You know, breaking records for Doom 2 speedruns by doing crazy shit mortals never thought possible. This time he does a Nightmare speedrun in a little only 12 minutes.

This tool-assisted speedrun is a monumental improvement over the last one, beating its time in over four minutes and beating the non-TAS run in over eight minutes.
