Great to see some news about the future version with those fabulous 2D artwork.

I have already plenty of fun with the current version despite i usually do not like ASCII visuals (strangely DoomRL is the only rogue like i have not been disturbed by it, i believe it is because the sound atmosphere make up a lot of the ambience).

Looking forward one day to play with this graphical tile version and all the improvements brought with it.

Bumping with news!

New version coming in around a month.  Apparently with a graphics tile version too!

[Robsoie]

The graphical version of that "beta 1G" is looking really nice, an already fabulous game soon with very good visuals to reach even more players beyond the ASCII only public.
Could be a big boost in popularity for this excellent game, and it would be well deserved as DoomRL is truly awesome, enough to have kept me playing again and again an ... despite i'm no fan of ASCII visuals at all.

The expanded mortem we'll see in the incoming 0.992 is a great idea, more stats and infos are always fun for reading such files.
I wonder how the asynchronous animations introduced in 0.992 will change the gameplay.

[ToonyMan]

The asynchronous animations would just be for looks.

[Tarran]

Mancubi For Added Fun - you will see. And you will weep in terror.

...Oh GOD, as if they weren't bad enough already.

The asynchronous animations would just be for looks.

It will help speedrun challenges by making animations not pause your input while the timer continues to count down.

Doom 0.9.9.2 is officially out!

[SolarShado]

Eagerly awaiting the Linux 64-bit build!
Already tried the new version in wine (crash, even after changing the music), and I've had weird issues w/ the 32-bit version...

EDIT: I take back the bit about wine, just needed to comment out the last MIDI file

[BishopX]

So the chained court just got much harder...new layout and a special boss. You may have to unlock the boss by completing the arena.

[Robsoie]

Great news !
Downloading and will attempting to kill the *spoiler* again soon enough.

[Tarran]

I guess it's time for me to get back into this, isn't it?

Pffft. Wow, that sounds both awesome and unbelievably cruel. I'll have to see that myself.

Haha! Killed him! He's not so bad when you've got beserk, blue armor and a rocket launcher. Hmm, he had a staff. Interesting...
