Doomguy: What Doom genre do you relish the most
Fish: Extreme slaughter
Doomguy: How exorbitant
Fish: I push my mortal reflexes to the absolute zenith in death's fiery crucible
Doomguy: Your insistence on unceasing difficulty astounds no-one

E1M4 from Ultimate Doom. The designers nailed this - turns out it's a joint effort between John Romero, Sandy Petersen and Tom Hall.

Gotta say, without any one of those three guys on the mapping team, id Software would've suffered a huge loss

Someone is promoting their game on Steam using our assets, along with assets from other titles.

We've reported it to Valve, but could use your help!

We're running a Patreon campaign to help fund Dreamsettler, the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw.

Patrons can play a WIP build of one of Dreamsettler's minigames now, and in two weeks we're releasing Dreamsettler's Page Genie.

I look forward to making silly pages together.

I've been working on this for Doom WADs - it only works with oldschool Doom wads though, not newer gzdoom format wads. Clicking the play button on the level preview loads the wad in a web port of Chocolate Doom

A brown room, dark and ominous. Some kind of big statue/ornament in the middle. Around it lighter colored tiles, and again around that dark, brooding stairs. 

An eye seems to stare at eyes from the very walls itself!

Earthless MAP24 finished.

There was no way of forcing this map to be done - I needed to bide my time for the right bolt of inspiration to strike.

This finished product bears almost no resemblance to what was seen on my livestreams. And it's better for it, to be honest!
