CatacombGL 0.5.7 is released!
The first version of the new year is unfortunately a much needed hot-fix. In the previous version I accidently introduced a crash when taking certain exit portals. The crash report from Github user DEA1HYT is much appreciated.

I started working on the CatacombGL source port again. In the coming months I would like to get rid of the "beta" tag and work towards a proper version 1.0.0.
Currently I'm working on a fun feature: support for the Catacomb 3-D Big Box as published by @johnromero.bsky.social in 2024.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!
The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!
Stay safe out there y'all

Programming is fun, but I can also enjoy some #doom mapping. Now available on idgames is the community megawad "Embryo", where the maps get smaller as you go!
Pictured maps are by me, @signaturereverie.bsky.social, @whybmonotacrab.bsky.social and ViolentBeetle.
