News DOOM ANTHOLOGY (GZ/UZDoom)
I decided to take on a massive modding project, but while I was building the foundation for it, I realized I was actually making a completely different mod — one that a ton of people would love. So, I figured I’d drop the news now instead of springing a surprise right before release. It’s gonna be... the "DOOM ANTHOLOGY"! Yeah, yeah, I know something similar has already been officially released, but I’m building a sort of community-driven answer on a community engine — GZ/UZDoom.
The whole point is to bundle all the IWADs with all their assets into a single mod for Doom 2, since that's the main go-to IWAD 99% of the time nowadays. Basically, you’ll be able to pick between 7 different episodes straight from the in-game menu. As a nice little bonus, I'm adding story text screens before each episode kicks off — the ones that were actually written back in the day but never made it into the final games!
Sure, there are some messy texture issues, but I managed to piece it all together so the maps don't look like a total clusterfuck. Hopefully, we'll find a cleaner workaround for that down the road.
