2005: Escape From SS Prison
Updated |
|
|
I recently updated
the old 'Escape From SS Prison' set that I made
with Ronny Zeitz way back in the year 2000. The
main changes have been to the ceiling colours
and episode names. The 'Escape From
SS Prison' set had 10 levels but there were
also 50 Wolfbel levels included. A few
levels have since been slightly modified. You
can get it here.

Released |
|
|
Jose Gutierrez has
released 'Wolfenstein 3: The Return Of Hitler'.
There are around 40 levels, mostly of a fair
size, though some including the first 2, are
quite small. Many levels are heavily decorated
at times. There's a number of changed graphics,
some completely new, and there's some new
sounds. Code changes include ceiling colours,
episode names and increased ammo limit. On the
whole, the Wolf 3D feel remains. All the
bmp and wav files used in the game
are included in a separate folder. Available

2005: New Wolfenstein
Mod |
|
|
Little Cherub tells
me that work on 'Guns and Glory' has begun
(although it is going slowly). Secondly, he will
start on a new add-on while the source code for
'Guns and Glory' is being completed.
This new game will
be called 'Wolfen-Tag', and it is based on
'Skulltag' for Doom. The only differences will
be that it is for Wolfenstein, It will be
specifically for the Doom Spear of Destiny code,
and it will be 6 full episodes, of small~medium
maps based on Deathmatch only without
multiplayer. Credit will be given to the
original creators of 'Skulltag', and the only
things that will be used are graphics and
sounds. Gameplay will be simple. Only the
players, weapons, and objects from 'Skulltag'
will be used and not the new
monsters.

24th October
2005: Gloom Released |
|
|
Here's an add-on
called 'Gloom'. Commander Keen made this add-on
in 2001 when he was 10 years old. It was
recently found again and is being released
because he is working on a sequel called 'Gloomy
World'. Most of the 16 levels are quite small
though many are well detailed. Two levels
(including the first) have 'invisible objects'
at times. There are several graphics changes but
the original Spear feel remains. Available
here. Needs the full version
of Spear Of Destiny to
play.

Here's an email
from Majik Monkee: "I am pleased to announce
the return of Monkee's Image World. After a
prolonged absence from site maintenence, I am
back, and ready to take submissions for the site
again. Thanks to a generous server donation from
one of the Wolf community members, we now have
the server space to take guest submissions for
an indefinite period of time. In addition, a
date has been added next to the banner to make
it easier to see if new news for the site has
been posted to read. Thanks to everyone for
their patience, and we hope to see submissions
start trickling in again very soon. The new link
for the Image World site is at Monkee's Image

Here's the complete

always work with Windows XP. All shareware

2005: medEvil Update |
|
|
Here's an update
from Majik Monkee: "I apologize for the lack
of updates lately on the medEvil project. Due to
a lot of overtime hours at work as well as a lot
of other stuff going on, progress has been a
little slower lately than it was initially, but
work on the project has resumed. Currently, all
that remains to be done is less than half the
maps for the game, and about 1% of the coding
(due to a very small detail overlooked in the
initial requests). I hope to have some new
screenshots for the project before too long. In
the meantime, I assure you all that it is still
alive and well.

interested in beta testing. Until then, the NME
Software homepage (www.nme-software.de.vu) has also been reworked and

3D, in particular a lot of screenshots. It's

Update |

I've been working hard during the weekend.
Hopefully I will have a few screen shots for ya
this weekend coming up. I am hoping to have a
website dedicated to the TC if not this weekend
then by next weekend definitely. I've been
devoting a lot of work to gfx and source code so
far. I need the scenario to be based as much in
the medieval times as possible.

levels but there are also some by ack, De
Zeurkous, Otto and myself. Text file included.

2005: Sorcerer's Wrath
Update |
|
|
Luke Strauman sent
the following update regarding 'Sorcerer's
Wrath': "To Wolfenstein Fans: Well
I guess I will let the secret out now on the
status of Sorcerers Wrath. I bet all of
you thought I had abandoned the project and
Wolfenstein - well you are wrong!! I've been
avoiding everyone in Wolfenstein for quite
sometime.
Now
to give you the details on Sorcerers
Wrath. All weapons are 100% done. The game
still has lots of work, and I mean lots. I've
been doing graphics and source code while having
to keep everything under wraps. I will be
getting in touch with some of my fellow wolfers
in the very near future (MCS, Brothertank, WSJ
and many others). So if any of you have any
questions, my website will be coming back up to
date again. The mystery of the Project is over
now. - Luke"

13th September
2005: Image World
Update |
|
|
Here's an email
from Majik Monkee: "The Image World site is
almost out of server space, and as a result, no
more submissions can be accepted at the moment
(if you already made submissions that are not up
yet, they will be posted, but please don't send
any more). There has been some discussion about
paying for more site space, but one of the great
things about the Image World has always been
that it's a free service, both to the users and
the site administrators, and a financial
committment to the site right now may not be a
realistic or appealing course of
action.
If we
decide we cannnot add more server space to the
site, at very least, it will remain available as
an archive of all the past images that have been
submitted to this point. There has been
suggestion of removing some past submissions
based on "quality", but I have done that largely
already regarding what I posted in the first
place, and don't feel it's fair to be the judge
of what is and isn't good from the viewpoint of
everyone who might visit the site.
Whether the site continues to grow
somehow, or remains as is, as a static resource
of Wolfenstein sprites, we hope you will
continue to visit and get use out of the Image
World. It's been a great experience running the
site, and hopefully it will continue to be a
useful tool for modding in the future.

2005: Standalone RPG
Info |
|
|
Here's an email
from Majik Monkee: "As many of you may know
already, Adam Biser and I have taken a slight
deviation from traditional Wolf modding to work
on/complete a standalone RPG based on an
entirely new engine designed by Adam. The game
is called "Star Wars: Bloodlines", and will be
something like a cross between "Legend of Zelda"
and "Final Fantasy". Many of the graphics come
from Lucasarts "Yoda Stories" desktop adventure,
with many modifications and new graphics. The
story, artwork, and maps are all completed, and
currently all that remains to be done is
scripting for the second half of the game. Even
though the game's engine is new, the project
will be freeware when it is completed due to the
borrowed nature of the graphics and some other
material. The project has a site at: http://mods.moddb.com/5754/."
