The official account for the Doom 2 mod, ZDoom Wars 2, made for UZDoom. Developed by Captain Ventris and dedicated to the memory of his brother Derek. Download the Demo: https://captain-ventris.itch.io/zdoom-wars-2 Discord: https://discord.gg/QQJveWSk2C

It’s been, like, a month, and the dev team for Zandronum still hasn’t posted a statement in the thread about the future of Zandronum. I think Torr is the only guy to actually participate in the conversation. Apparently they’re working on it, but like come on folks. Exhibit A, etc.

Other than the original, I’ve never seen a game that provides an experience thats really like ZDW2. Mount and Blade is one of the closest in that you run an army from the ground level, but has nothing like the many mechanics, abilities, asymmetry, or mid-game spawning of ZDW2.🧵

Discord and download page in bio! Help test an early version of a fun as hell FPS/RTS! It’s great, I promise. Discord has a Looking For Games channel!

Obituaries corrected, also adjusted any AOE checks to have homing (I.e. getting the most accurate assessment possible). That is to say, certain ranged AOE effects only go off when there ar enough enemies around the target so as not to waste abilities, etc.

Got halfway through restoring everybody’s correct obituaries. I had copy pasted a bunch of shit and hadn’t gone through fixing them to match their native games. A small detail, but every time you see an obituary it’s a special event (Commander death), so might as well preserve the flair.

Got myself into another tedious task, which I find much harder than the complex stuff because repetition makes me want to die If I’m playing a game and something feels like work I check out. It’s so hard to grind in an RPG, my god

The Sanrio alligator character “Big Challenges”

Centaurs are gonna be so feared, and AREN’T outmoded by Slaughtaurs. One, Slaughtaurs are VASTLY more expensive, but they have different upgrades: Centaurs upgrade so that their blocking is 360 AND aims back at the shooter. Slaughtaurs gain a disrupting charge into battle good for breaking lines.🧵

This is the official account for ZDoom Wars 2, sequel to the classic Skulltag mod for Doom 2. ZDWars2 is an RTS/FPS where you fling Units at each other to form armies while wielding special abilities, defensive structures, and customizable Heroes! Powered by @uzdoom.bsky.social ! Links in Bio!

I intend on a long dev session tomorrow. I’ve been slacking at doing the translations but I gotta suck it up. I mean, no one’s pressuring me but once I do that I get to do some actual fun stuff, so ya know

Tutorial scripts on the discord! The manual is for in-depth stuff. If you don’t want to get on the Discord: Just bind the 3 Order keys and the tech tree key. Explore menus. You’ll figure it out. Lot going on.
