Brutal Damage Announced |
|
|
Joshua Waight has
announced a TC coming soon entitled 'Brutal
Damage'. It has a storyline a lot like something
from 'Grand Theft Auto', but doesn't seem to
lose the original Wolfenstein 3d feeling. It
takes place in Tuolumne county, the county which
includes Joshua's home city. A readme file will
be sent later but for now there's a title
screen.

EvilWolf Webpage |
|
|
Stathis Dimitriadis
is the programmer and designer of 'EvilDoom' and
his last game was a Wolfenstein 3d mod
'EvilWolf' powered by the EvilDoom 3d engine. It
uses bump mapping and dynamic lighting and it is
very close to the feeling that Wolfenstein 3d
gave to the fps fans.
The site has info
on the project, plus a number of screenshots of
both 'EvilWolf' and 'EvilDoom'. You can check it
out at EvillDoom.

Alien Invasion Patch |
|
|
Majik Monkee has
released an 'Alien Invasion' patch. It changes
all the enemies and bosses in SOD into the
enemies from 'Corridor 7', and changes the
weapons and status bar pictures. The walls and
stationary sprites have not been changed. This
is all that remains of a project that Majik was
working on a while back that he doesn't intend
to complete. He figured it might be useful to
people who wanted to use these graphics or are
just looking for an interesting patch for the
original SOD. You can download it here. Needs the full version
of Spear Of Destiny to
play.

Cartosa Lives News
Update |
|
|
Here's an email
Rocketboy680 sent me regarding the final version
of 'Cartosa Lives': "The game is almost done! I
have finally gotten all of those freaky deaky
maps completed. The whole game together is going
to be 16 levels long. The last level seems
impossible, though if you go down the right
corridors you will find what you are looking
for... or he will find you. I am kinda proud,
but the next game should be at least 30 levels.
All I need now is storylines and I am through! -

DWR2 - Episode 3 News
Update |
|
|
Great Wasabi sent
me the following email regarding progress on
'DWR2 - Episode 3': "Episode three of DWR2
should be done soon. There's going to be a lot
of differences between this version and the last
one. Lots of graphics have been changed. There's
a new boss, new static items, a few new walls,
and the pistol and plasma rifle have been
changed. The plasma rifle is now the awesome BFG
9000. The regular enemies are the same, but
could possibly change if I feel it's necessary.
I may have someone add a little bit of new
coding too. - Great Wasabi"

forums. But, members, don't afraid. We will wait
to all members that are in old forums, register
in the newest. Here is the URL of the new
forums:
