Autumn 2022:
| October 27, 2022: A horror tale! |
We'll see if we can get another update by Halloween, but if not, then this is it: Check out Joaquina's Horror Tale, a four-map mini-mod for DukePlus (included, which explains the file size).
| October 16, 2022: AMC the 4th! |
The fourth episode of the AMC TC has been released; I beta tested the episode, but I still need to finish my playthrough of the finished version before publishing a review. Anyway, grab a copy at MODDB and be prepared to spend at least 10 hours on this thing. The theme is medieval and it works better than I expected. I did not contribute any maps to this episode, but the story of the AMC squad ain't over yet:) (And my character is still arguably the hero of the whole show even in Episode 4...)
A few beta shots to entice you:
| October 1, 2022: Going AWOL! |
Some of you may remember a Total Conversion called A.W.O.L. from back in the day (and I mean like from 20+ years or so ago), worked on by a guy called Hudson and a bunch of other people. Well, like many TC projects of the day, AWOL never really got anywhere and was abandoned for 20 years. Then, almost exactly two years ago Hudson approached me about reviving the project, and so I agreed to contribute a map. The plan was to get the game on the "cover disc" of the retro-themed E1M1 magazine, with initial deadline set for spring 2021. Expectedly that deadline flew right by and, if I recall correctly, a new deadline was then set for the Realms Deep event of 2021 (late summer). I got my map's design more or less done by then, but it was still missing some key scenes that were dependent on features that weren't yet available. That deadline too was missed and then the E1M1 magazine collapsed. By then we had decided to put the game on Steam anyway, and two weeks ago AWOL was finally released.

My map is a desert prison near Dubai. A few screenshots:
I've had some performance issues with some of the other maps in the game, but we've been fixing these since the game's release to make it more playable for those such as myself with AMD gpus.
