Not new at all on the retro gaming action scene with my first love with Half-Life and Wolfenstein/Doom, my current kick is mainly System Shock atm but I would also love to check out more of Blood and it's classics or worth playing mods/addons.

I recall there was even an- mod that mixes Doom and Blood iirc.

Also I even discovered there is an map addon based on a horror sci-fi thriller movie that I like which- it is Omega Man's 1971 movie! :)

Seriously I was wondering if somebody did an modding addon take on Omega Man and it turned out there is thankfully one for Blood! :D

In my previous post about Toyful Wonderworld, I mentioned how strange monsters of the night could stalk you during the game. But what happens when the moon itself has it out for you?!

Hey everyone!

I just released Update v1.2 for the Ultimate Retro Shooter Template for Godot 4! This update focuses heavily on a new gib system, a faction & retaliation system (for DOOM style infighting), and a complete overhaul of enemy AI behavior that brings a massive performance boost (Pretty much a distance-based throttling for AI logic, navigation, and sprite updates).

U.R.S.T is designed to help anyone create a complete retro shooter without writing a single line of code. It was in development for nearly a year and released last month (August 7).

This is truly a passion project for me, so I’ll be actively supporting it and adding new features while sticking to the main goal of it: Not a single line of code needed, but clean, heavily commented and organized code for experienced to use and expand upon.

So sorry if such a topic like this one was done here before because I have been looking at how some iconic shooters from the mid 90s have been strangely missing for some reason.

For instance, Heretic and Hexen both had their respective games remastered as I noticed how their later installments never got any updated version as I really want to play Hexen 2 so badly, but the graphics look a bit crusty that I hope to see a remastered version come out soon.

Here is a short little gameplay trailer of all the stuff I've been working on recently, I hope you like what you see!

also thanks for 30,000 Wishlist's! many of you in this subreddit helped me to achieve that goal

Malefact: Evil Unchained is a horror boomer shooter that uses the UZDoom engine. It goes for a slower, creepier style of gameplay than most games in the genre, more like Doom 3 than classic Doom, but still features plenty of action! There's also a demo, which can be downloaded from Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4908950/Malefact_Evil_Unchained/

EDIT: I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this, but can whoever manages the boomer shooter database thingy add the game to the list?

UPDATE: We're well aware that the slow movement speed, though integral to our vision of the game, will be polarising. For this reason, when you start a new campaign episode, you'll be given the option to choose between 3 different modes of play before the campaign actually starts (note that the mode names are placeholders and might change):

1. Regular (the default): Same movement speed as in the demo.
2. Enhanced: 2x the movement speed of the regular version. Not fast enough to turn it into Doom, but still considerably brisker. A middle ground if you will.
3. Arcade: 4x the movement speed of the regular version. Closer to a conventional boomer shooter.

Thank you for all the support and let me know if you like this piece and if you have a suggestion for another character!

i made NES like boss fight
i would be glad if you try the demo and add to wishlist pls >> https://store.steampowered.com/app/3919250/FFFF_YOU_MACHINE_Demo/

The things I do for fun...

Hi, me and a few friends are making an opensource "DOOM clone" in a custom engine, with a twist of non-euclidean level geometry achieved by seamless portals (similar to ULTRAKILL's Fraud). We're planning a Steam release hopefully sometime next year.

Currently we are based on OpenGL 4.3 and are quite happy with all of its quality-of-life additions, but if we really tried hard, we probably could get down to OpenGL 3.3 which would mean support for Nvidia 8800 GT, GTX 2x0, Radeon HD 3000/4000 cards etc. .

So, I'm asking, how many of you are still rocking these old boys? If you do, is it out of principle, or for financial reasons? And would you want to play a new indie release like ours on them?

Or, given how the game looks like compared to e.g. Oblivion that came out in 2006 (lol), would you maybe say it's just not morally justifiable for a game like ours to not run on 20 year old hardware?

I'm really not sure what I want to think myself, so I'd be happy for any and all opinions.

Such an atrocious experience. 1st things 1st, Witchaven 2 not only didn't do anything better than its predecessor, but it also got worse, WAY worse

I began mapping keys to my convenience, only to note just a few of them work as intended (attack and jump keys) and the rest remained with the default keys. Already a bad start

Spike traps were already a problem in the 1st game, although I dare to say, in my experience, they become problematic in MAP06 (if we exclude the one from MAP04, the tight room with the pentagram) In Witchaven 2 it is a big ass problem as soon as the 1st level IN SEVERAL AREAS

IIRC, only in ONE occassion the spell attack worked properly. That's right: one of the basic (and even outstanding) aspect of the game doesn't work as intended. This is like playing Descent and not being able to use the secondary attack

There are some interesting additions, like having breakable glasses, slopes and the weapon enchantment. At least for the 1st level (which I couldn't beat) there are interesting areas to explore. However none of this truly matters because the game fails miserably at basic stuff, so none of the fancy stuff can do justice for the game

It really makes you wonder how on Earth Capstone managed to fuck up things so much. Not only they didn't fix any issues from the 1st Witchaven game, they ended up adding more issues to the game. Some people don't learn their lesson? In any case, next week I'll move on with Hexen 2

So let me see, how do I put it? Well basically what I am looking for in particular are some fun boomer type FPSes with RPG aspects where every time the player shoots an enemy, their guns become more powerful.

I don’t know if such a concept is rare in the genre as I have a huge fondness for RPGs like Disgaea and Final Fantasy type games that I was hoping to find some good boomer shooters that use grinding mechanics since I could use a game in the genre that lets me level up my guns the more I use them.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a two-player co-op shooter/campaign game that can be played online on two separate PCs.

I’m not looking for an online-only game like Destiny or similar live-service shooters. I want a proper co-op campaign, preferably with a decent story, that is age-appropriate for a 10-year-old.

It can be paid or free.

Any suggestions for games that fit this?

Here is the inked version.
I made sure to include plenty of progress pics so i don't wanna hear any is this AI talk :D
Make sure to check them all out.
I also played around with a gradient and decided to include that version as well.
Let me know what you think!

It's Boomer Shooter Saturday again! Come join us at 11:00 AM EST for a day of BUILD Engine Shenanigans!

To start off our stream, we are working on some Level Design for Duke Nukem 3D using the Mapster32 Level Editor. Come hop in, give feedback to shape the level, or even better, get inspired to build some stuff of your own! Don't know how? Come ask questions and learn with me and our helpful community of BUILD Engine Aficionados!

Later, we hop back into our playthrough of BLOOD: Death Wish, we are at the mid-point of the 4th Episode and its been a visual treat so far, this is really why I love 2.5D Aesthetics, everything is habd crafted and just superb!

got myself free sofa this week and i've been enjoying gaming while slouching on it? any recommendation for good boomshoot to play on controller ? preferably already have controller support without me thinkering around to make it works, so far the only boomer shooter i've played with controller is RealRTCW.

So I just finished playing through Painkiller the other day and felt like I needed a bit of a pallet cleanser of an FPS. Recently I bought the black labyrinth DLC for Amid Evil, I had already played the bass game a few years ago and it was incredible!

It is so much like playing a modern fast paced version of something like heretic or Hexen. It’s so vibrant and it’s colour palette yet minimalistic at the same time, it makes everything look really good if you don’t stop to look too critically at all, similar to the system shock remake, looks great but if you look a bit closer a bit pixlie, but thats the style!

Anyway I’m playing it right now and after four years and playing so many different first person shooters since then this is still one of the best ones I’ve played. The core combat feels so visually satisfying and meaty in the best kind of way. Music is also great. I really like Dusk By New Blood but this one’s my favourite.

I’m someone who loves high-speed gameplay and movement. Every time I see a boomer shooter, I get hyped for the fast-paced action. When I first download and play one, I have a blast, but after about 30 to 60 minutes, heavy boredom hits me. The game starts feeling aimless and repetitive—just walking around and killing things.

​There's no compelling story to push you forward, and no real variety. It's just lines of enemies in front of you to clear out, along with a few hidden secret areas.

​Honestly, my enjoyment with these games feels like spending time in a training range in any other game. I can mess around, kill dummies in creative ways, and practice mechanics, which is fun for a bit. But since there’s no clear objective or mission, there's no way I could stay in a training range for 3 or 4 hours straight, or play it daily.

​I really want to enjoy boomer shooters because I adore their movement and core gameplay, but the boredom keeps kicking in. It took a massive effort just to finish Doom Eternal and DUSK.
