I'm moving! I'll be in a bigger place, with a better job, with more hours, and my computer in a place where the cords won't get yanked.
Which means I may actually be able to work on the game...
A blog for the updates, changes, excitements, and frustrations that come from modding the zdoom engine for ponies. Also, some modding tutorials that may or may not be helpful.

Can It Run Doom?
If given the chance, you should always see if it runs doom.
And, by extension, raridoom. ^^
Development hasn't stopped. But it sure has slowed to a crawl. Again, it's the spriting and the other stuff... but hopefully soon! All your support makes me happy and I promise I won't abandon this project.

Misclick
If you got a notification from this blog, I misclicked the button. I meant to hit 'save', not 'publish'. I'm sorry about that!
Well, as long as you're here... I did go through the entire wad, doing some basic clean-up, getting rid of the default startan texture, adding more decoration, that sort of thing.
I've given up on setting dates for myself, but in about ten days, my free time will drop dramatically, so I'm hoping by then, but I'm not holding my breath.
As long as I'm complaining, though, I'd also accept ideas for the door edges, the ones that show what key color you need. The current ones look good and work but don't look very... changeling-y.

Mini-update
Moving is a pain and I do not recommend it.
Played custom edition again and it got me inspired (and partially annoyed at Past!me's mapping work). I went through all the levels of Episode 1, cleaning them up a bit, adding some more ammo, darkening a couple rooms, darkening doors, narrowing doors, and getting rid of that awful startan texture *shudder*.
And while I was doing that, I realized something somewhat important: I don't like the door texture very much. For reference:
The gradient didn't translate well to the tiny size, it's really black and undetailed, and I'm not sure I even liked the logo that much in the first place (though the updated version here is pretty cool).
I want to change it, but I have no idea what to replace it with. So if you have any ideas, please drop me a comment.

Good news and bad news
Good news is I'm moving in the next couple weeks, so it'll be really nice to be somewhere I don't need three layers of clothing just to feel warm.
Bad news is I can't find my flash drive. The flash drive with all the raridoom stuff on it. The flash drive with my work files and iwads and wads and a resource wad on it. That flash drive.
I'm 98% certain that it'll turn up. But there's still that 2% chance that it's gone, vanished into that ether where missing socks and such go.
I did make good backups of the rarity.wad file in a separate location (always do this!), so not too much has been lost. I think.i hope But I really, really hope that it turns up. Most of what's left is spriting, anyway.
