Irony

One of my levels (E3M7) is entitled, "Afraid of the dark?" Like the name implies, it's a really dark level, especially in this huge maze-like section. You could barely see in front of you.

And the only lantern in the map was in a secret place I'd completely forgotten about.

Suffice it to say that I am now afraid of the dark. Especially after needing to resurrect like five times in the level because Trixielings are popping out of nowhere.

So now it's a bit brighter. You're welcome.
there's also a little more ammo because have you ever tried to punch out a Trixieling Mage [arachnotron]? Doesn't work, 0/10, do not recommend

In an alternate universe…

…I'm a decent artist.

And the cover of raridoom in that universe looks a little something like this:

New Year's Reso- whoa, deja vu...

I just pulled up my last post entitled New Year's Resolution and, well, it seems that resolutions are made to be broken. :-/

But in my defense, I did graduate college, and I got married. I just got my hours at work increased which will do wonders for me (and certainly won't hurt my dream goal of 'get a new computer').

I was tempted to release what I had now, but where I am with the mod, I'd give away too much in spoilers and then not deliver on them. So I can't do that.

I do have more plans, though. And I did get that cut scene more or less set up. But it all. Involves. Spriting.

But really, though, I'd say I'm a couple boss fights and two levels away from being done with this game. The levels are flatter than I'd like, and the wall textures on some of the later levels are meh and boring, and I'm not sure how hard it is (and how much difficulty is due to "there's like two revenants right in my face wtf" as opposed to being good, well-designed maps), and I want to do more decoration to make it look more hive-like; but yeah. It's close.

Thanksgiving

I'm grateful for computers, doom, ponies, muscle memory, computer mice (have you ever tried using doombuilder with a touchpad? Don't), flash drives (one that contains all of raridoom) that don't disappear, paychecks, and for the fact that my wife (who I am also grateful for, btw) agrees with me on just how crazy my family is.

Happy thanksgiving!

Today on YouTube...

I found this video.

Someone has made a DooM map... in the shape of Rarity. I think this is mildly relevant.

Also I haven't gotten anything done for this mod in forever and am a terrible content creator. Sorry! But fear not, I refuse to let Raridoom just die.

DooM News

So John Romero released a new level for DooM for the first time in over twenty years. IWAD is doom1.wad, level is E1M8, and it's found here (dropbox link).

If he can do it, I wonder, why can't I?

John Romero, you have inspired me once more, and I haven't even played it yet!

New Year's Resolution:

Finish this thing.

Maybe finish my other project, too.

Just a little short on motivation. I know what I'm going to do. I've found lots of good music. I've found a few techniques that I think will work well for what I want.

Also I was planning on doing a reunion cutscene towards the end, but now I'm not so sure. Mostly because it would also involve spriting. And we all know how much I love spriting.

Either way, I'll get it done. And that's a Pinkie Promise.
