I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Doom, is in fact, GZDoom/Freedoom, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Freedoom plus GZdoom. Doom is not a game that can run on modern operating systems unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning GZDoom system made useful by the ZDL Launcher, Zscript and ACL scripting languages, DeePsea editor, and other vital components comprising a fully functioning First-Person Shooter game.

Many gamers play a modified version of the GZDoom system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GZdoom which is widely used today is often called Doom, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GZDoom system, developed by the GZDoom Project.

There really is a Doom, and these people are playing it, but it is just a part of the game they play. Doom is the WAD: the data file containing levels and graphics for the game engine to access. The WAD is an essential part of a FPS game, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete FPS game. Doom is normally used in combination with the GZDoom engine: the whole system is basically GZDoom with Doom or Freedoom added, or GZDoom/Freedoom. All the so-called Doom distributions are really distributions of GZdoom!

Assuming no technical hiccups, I'll be starting my first #Twitch stream today at 7:00 pm EST, as part of #DOSember. My plan is to play #Freedoom (using the DSDA #Doom source port) for the first hour then moving on to #TexMurphy : The Pandora Directive.

I'm planning on starting a Twitch stream in a couple of weeks, to participate in the #Doscember event. Current plan is to stream on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm EST starting December 4th. For my first stream I'll be playing #Freedoom and getting started on #TexMurphy : The Pandora Directive.

I'm trying to make a list of open source video games with final bosses.

Why? Because a lot of games from my childhood have very memorable final bosses. A lot of modern indie games have great final bosses. But most open source games have no bosses, let alone final bosses.

Here's the list so far on geminispace:
gemini://envs.net/~bcb16999/Open-source-games-with-final-bosses.gmi
And the mirror on the web:
https://gemini.envs.net/~bcb16999/Open-source-games-with-final-bosses.gmi

Please give me hints as to what I should add!

Is there any linux mobile compatible #FreeDoom client?

This is Phase 2 of Freedoom, with linear progression akin to DOOM II. Freedoom is a free and open-source first-person shooter game aiming to provide all content for a DOOM-style game. Started in 1999 after id Software released DOOM's source code under the GNU GPL, Freedoom fills the gap for free content.

Вот играю в альтернативный #doom под названием #freedoom (свободная альтернатива спрайтам, текстурам, картам, саундтрекам 1-го и 2-го дума) версии 0.13.0 с модификацией #brutal_doom (v22 beta 3) на #source_port #gzdoom и даю большой респект тем, кто делал новые уровни и перерабатывал старые. Один мой любимый уровень из версии 0.12.1 (27-й), к сожалению был убран, но, из 12 уровней, которые я прошёл на данный момент (сложность “black metal” передаёт привет), могу сказать, что большинство уровней устроены так, как мне нравится. Такие уровни сделаны очень круто. Я люблю лабиринты (очень хорошо в них ориентируюсь, но так было не всегда) и люблю кучу всяких проходов, особенно когда допустим вышел из зоны А в зону Б и другим абсолютно путём вернулся в зону А не ожидая того, что ты в неё вообще вернёшься (ну или вообще вернулся в самое начало уровня, также стоит заметить, что перемещение я имею ввиду без телепортов). Я не придумал как лучше описать мои впечатления, так что вот.

#Freedoom 0.13.0 released, a retro #FPS on the classic 90s DOOM engine. Or maybe three retro fpses depending on if you count the two campaign wads and the #deathmatch wad as separate games under the same banner.

2024-01-29: #Freedoom 0.13.0 released

General

Improved vanilla compatibility.

Boom features removed.

Hall of mirrors greatly reduced.

Visplane overflows fixed.

Savegame buffer overflow errors remain.

This was such a fun game to play. #FreeDoom for #Linux was an extremely immersive and fun experience. While it's never going to be a proper replacement for #Doom this is still an extremely fun and #free piece of software you can download right through your #terminal or software manager today! It's a shame this video didn't get as much traction because this was one of my most favorite ones to play through so far.

I started playing Freedoom Phase 2 with Doom 4 Vanilla from the beginning and it is a banger, I have to say. D4V makes the gameplay more dynamic and the textures work really well with Freedoom's architecture which is much richer than the original one (duh). I like subtle nods to the original maps. It feels familiar yet different.

But blood instead of water doesn't stop surprising me. It is probably the biggest change in the visuals. And lack of the window texture.
