Finished the game, so what to play now?

Any similar games, retro inspired, fast with interesting enemies and weapons?

That looks very cool, but I can't seem to figure out how or where to get it from. I found a link which directed me to a GitHub archive which, after I downloaded it, doesn't seem to contain any .wad files that I can use, and I don't know anyone I can ask to get help.

i agree with the guys here, you REALLY should try Project Brutality, tunned with a whole lot of mods, to tell you the truth, i think its the best experience ever in the genre.

if you want a fine tuned pack that i worked to gather through the years, just send me a DM

Wouldn't it be simpler to just post the list and links here? That way you don't need to write it out repeatedly or deal with everyone who asks separately.

Project Warlock is pretty nice, with a pretty hectic final boss.
Short game though. I think I beat it in like 6 hours?

Also Hrot.

Excellent recommendations, it was these exact games (started with Ion Fury, then found Dusk, which led to Amid Evil followed by Prodeus) which is how I got to Warhammer 40k Boltgun. Still need to check out Hrot and Cultic though.

This game is coming out of Early Access next month at which point the price will increase. The content that is there so far (first 2 1/2 acts) is by far some of the best boomer shooter movement and level design I have seen in any game in this genre (I have played pretty much every boomer shooter mentioned in this thread).

It also has a level editor and multiplayer is coming when 1.0 is released (next month).

How risky is it to buy these Boomer Shooters while in Early Access? Not really speaking of Turbo Overkill but I know some of them tend to stall out mid-development like that one that people are angry about for not hitting its roadmap (or even coming close, apparently) WRATH: Aeon of Ruin. This is a question for anyone who knows and buys these Boomer Shooters in early access and has either been burned or alternatively has had a pleasant experience with it. I just noticed quite a few of them on steam seem to be in Early Access. Are they all risky of not being completed or just certain ones (like from 3D Realms)?

This is the 2.03 version. No idea when 3.0 will be released. But 2.03 does most of the things 3.0 does.

I also recommend Maps of Chaos which overhauls the vanilla DOOM wads https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/brutalized-doom-and-doom-ii WARNING: This will make the game a LOT harder. It is intended for people who know the DOOM maps very well. Only get this if you have played the vanilla maps.

Ultimate DOOM Visor for immersion https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/doomvisor-hud-for-pa1nki113r-v51

A guide on DOOM modding in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDaPtR_MeSU Do check the readme for each mod you want to install. Some have different install methods.

Ah, excellent. I'll try that, then. Thank you.

e:fff- "script error: Project Brutality 2.03.pk3:fireworks.txt" line 2:
Tried to define class 'TargetIsAnExplosiveBarrel' more than twice in the same file.
I don't know what this means or what I should do about it. Suggestions?

No idea what's causing that error. You ZDL launcher should look something like this https://ibb.co/7JSnWwW Go into the general settings tab to configure the source port and IWAD (basically levels) you want to play. Use the plus in the bottom left to add mods. "The Ultimate Doom v1.9" is the DOOM.wad file. That is the name it shows in the launcher.

Mods go on the left side. You can have several active at a time. IWADs go on the right side. You can only have one active at a time.

ZDL is the launcher. Gzdoom is the source port. You need both programs to run mods in DOOM.

Ultimate Doom? Shouldn't I be using Doom 2? Also, the readme that came with the Brutal Doom download says that the level pack should be first on the list but what do I know.
My list is currently,
EDAY VANILLA
EdayMusic001
ProjectBrutality 2.03
UDV_v2.13_A_BASE
Trying to launch this results in the above error. Moving Project Brutality to the top results in an error reading:
"Could not find script lump 'zcommon.acs'"
I don't know what that means. Help?
E: My ZDL version is 3.1.1. Not sure if that's relevant.

Ultimate DOOM refers to DOOM 1. DOOM.wad. DOOM 2 is DOOM2.wad. You can play both using Project Brutality. And custom levels made by the community as well.

Try disabling all mods and see if the game starts. Use ZDL to select either DOOM.wad or DOOM2.wad as the iwad. GZDoom as the source port. If the game starts, enable the mods 1 by 1 to see which one causes problems. Project Brutality should always be the first one loaded and UDV always the last one.

Request received, taking this to PMs.
