I used eduke32 to blaze through DN3D once more on a boomer shooter kick a few years back. Which arguably never ended, as Doom and Quake mods make up most of my gaming time now.

I was into playing and modding Doom back in the 90s and just a few months ago rediscovered the community - I am just blown away by the effort and creativity that is going into these source ports and the indie games people are building on top of them. That passion and spirit of sharing is peak Internet/open-source.

If you havent played the Ashes 2063 mod series for DOOM I highly recommend it. https://www.moddb.com/mods/ashes-2063

Ive played a lot of excellent doom and quake mods...

* brutal doom, hell on earth starter pack

* blade of agony

* Hedon

* quake brutalist jams 1 to 3

* Arcane Dimensions

* alien armageddon (for duke3d)

but that one really stand out.

  • Ashes 2063 looks awesome thank you for sharing!

    I downloaded the AshesStandalone_V1_51.zip file, but it looks like it only contains the windows executable. For our linux friends, unzip it, install gzdoom, and then run this command inside the "Resources" folder to play it on linux:

    > gzdoom -config gzdoom-ashes.ini -iwad freedoom-0.12.1/freedoom2.wad -file AshesSAMenu.pk3 lightmodepatch.pk3 Ashes2063Enriched2_23.pk3 Ashes2063EnrichedFDPatch.pk3 +logfile log.txt
