One of the weirdest things about making ZDoom Wars 2 is how it both feels real and fake. I can run it up and mess around and watch things function correctly, but I have yet to play a game of it! It’s all theoretical, even if the features are intact.🧵

#ZDWars2 : Chex Quest was the faction I was happiest from game 1. Due to them being clones of Doom monsters, I had to get creative, resulting in the strongest central concept. In the sequel, ALL factions are planned from the ground up.🧵

Unreal to have an entire tier of #ZDWars2 complete. The game is still missing several core systems that make it stand out from the original (Eco, Orders, the LMS game mode itself), but it’s got a meaningful amount of playable content.🧵

ZDoom Wars Faction Spotlight:
Chex Quest
The Unending Faction
Chex Quest does not buy tiers: instead every Flemoid adds to the player’s Goop Mass. High enough Goop Mass unlocks more tiers. They are all about numbers, and their attacks drag air units downward.🧵

#ZDWars2 : Got a nice list of tasks to hit this weekend to get all of Tier 1 sorted. Virus has its player class and monsters but I gotta do their defensive structure and faction ability. Then there’s a bunch of other minor things I gotta do.🧵

Current plan is to spend the 9th working on #ZDWars2. That’s because it’s ZDoom Wars’ 17th birthday! Half my life so far has passed since I first posted the original in ‘08!🧵

#ZDWars2 : My co-dev @ariadnec8y.bsky.social sent over a short video demonstrating the basic function of capture points yesterday, so that’s exciting to see come to life!🧵

#ZDWars2 : There are 3 special damage types in the game: Poison, Electric, and Ice. Poison deals extra damage over time to Bio units, Electric has a chance to stun Mech units, and Ice slows all types of units (except Lost Souls and Afrits, which instead take extra ice damage).🧵

#ZDWars2 : Virus is going to be baller. That many air units, and they maintain elevation? Brutal. I’ve had to put a lot of design work into making vs Virus matchups not miserable.🧵

Faction Spotlight: Heretic
The Shock Faction
Heretic is the fastest faction, and their units can spam abilities a limited number of times before having to recharge out of combat. They can spawn units in clusters, meaning they can materialize an army in moments.🧵

ZDoom Wars 2 Faction Spotlight: Virus
The Flying Deathball Faction
Advanced units require Prismatic Energy to operate at full capacity. This is provided by generators and by Prism units. Don’t go into the red, or your elite units will go into low power mode!

Can I finished Garden of Order: Trials this weekend? I might!
Can I tackle the two tasks I’m absolutely going to need to consult the Discord on for ZDWars2 this weekend as well? Here’s hoping!🧵
