@jamesfolta.com explores MyHouse.wad, a 2023 mod of 1994’s Doom II based on Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves.

The House of Leaves-inspired game MyHouse.wad is just as trippy as you’d think.

This demon shooting video game mod might be your new favorite book. MyHouse.wad is a 2023 mod—short for modification, in this case a series of custom levels—for 1994’s Doom II, the second in …

It's okay to have an opinion different to some you may have heard! It's a good map.

(Also thanks for the nice words on the midi lol)

big gothic castle in quake from last year. didn't make it for any other reason than I was using it to make new textures and enjoying myself.

screenshot of a long stone bridge overshadowing a medieval town. the bridge has a gatehouse in the middle, which leads to the entrance of a castle

the entrance to the castle. tall towers and turrets are scattered everywhere, it's an insane and dysfunctional layout mostly for showing off

the implausibly large keep in the center of the castle. octogonal tower with turret towers in the corners that go up the whole length.

a higher up view of the towers at the gate, with the massive keep visible in the back

My debut contemporary album, "DESYNC", is 3 years old today. A modern, electronic album all about the modern electronic world.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go turn into a dusty skeleton in the corner of my room.

Do YOU want to make shitpost ads for a #doom project? You can make an ad for anything you want and if I like it it'll be included in Escape from Planet X (with credit of course). I use c.eev.ee/doom-text-ge... for the text and the template is included as an image

misc screenshots from various texture tests and experiments in Quake

a concrete facade wall, with waffle slab structures and occasional square holes

a gothic ceiling with books on the walls and ornate tracery in the vaulted segments. there are lilac colored lamps hanging from the walls and celling

a grey stone castle overgrown in moss and vines, with a metal door in the shade

an otherworldly scene looking into the top of a black hole with a glowing orange accretion disc. various rock islands, and a massive stone sword, hover millions of miles above it, presumably in orbit
