"A goofy, fun love-letter to classic FPS games with a lot of spirit"

"KIRK COLLECTS" played a bunch of cool demos and you should watch them here.

My game was the 1st one on the list - giving it a name starting with letter "B" pays off again! 🤣

bro, there's a thousand good reasons to hate on spotify and a million reasons to hate on genAI, but this is not one of them.

this shit helped me discover a bunch of cool artists that I never would have discovered without it. might be one of the rare cases where genAI might actually help musicians.

Yes, I watched the whole thing and was having a ton of fun!! Really glad to hear you liked it.

Also, I love that I discovered your youtube channel with more Rimworld content to listen to while I'm working on the game 😁

They're both good people - both studying to be therapists (he's in canistherapy training and she's a psyhology student).

The stupid campaign web doesn't support localization, so I pasted the translation here, if you want specifics: markdownpastebin.com?id=3f58f49c4...

My boy Drako here is a dog. 🐕 And he needs heart surgery kinda fast.
Turns out it's expensive AF, so his human Veronika is trying to raise some cash for it.
Help them out pls or at least repost this, or tag some people. Thanks a lot! 👍

Have you tried BERSERKER'S DOMAIN Demo yet? 👇

Pitching it here at #PitchYaRogue, since it is technically a RogueLite, not only an FPS. Well, whatever it is, it's weird and it's fun!

Yo check out this year's BOOMSTOCK event! 🔥🔥🔥
Segment with the demos starts at timestamp 35:35 and my game is there, just after PROJECT WARLOCK, which is kind of an honor, tbh.

Go play some demos, add some games to your wishlists, have fun!

right? but the credit goes to whoever designed the character long time ago, not to me 🙂
they made him instantly recognizable. that's a solid character design.

I just found out that TURBO OVERKILL also has a reference to Doom's E1M1 at the beginning, just like BERSERKER'S DOMAIN! 🤘

And for some reason, we both had a need to slap a random fan at the ceiling.

Very cool! Approved. Also, the game is fun so far.

Nice! @zlimbratski.bsky.social played my game, and he finished the demo run on the 1st try like a pro! 🤘 based.

thanks. I mean, since the game already simulates physics for those radgolls, why not show them to the player, so it's not wasted computation 🙂
what I like about it is it's really easy to implement.

Ladies & gentlemen, SMART RAGDOLLS™
Enemies that die off-screen are yeeted towards whatever place the player is currently looking at. For absolutely no reason. Screw physics or whatever.

Yes yes, that was a room from E1M1!
Also, there is one referencing Dead Simple (Doom2), 2 rooms inspired bu Quake 3 arenas, one by Counterstrike and one by a very obscure Half-life DM map.

OK, thank you!
And it's cool you noticed the references to the classics in the map design. Which ones did you spot?
