#HideousDestructor ( #HDest ) is still fun after all these years. there’s really no game like it, although Beyond Citadel got kinda close

also, I think Ugly As Sin (a Hideous Destructor mod) is my absolute favorite implementation of food and drink as survival mechanics in a game, ever

you don’t need to eat or drink, but they give you small buffs if you do. eating/drinking is a manual process, and when you do it, it actually plays sounds of you eating and drinking - which I find incredibly grounding. each type of food and drink even has some flavor (heh) text so you can imagine how it looks and tastes

I think this design is completely brilliant because it:

  • doesn’t create any time pressure like the vast majority of survival games do. you won’t starve or die of thirst so you don’t have to rush, ever
  • but, it gives you a gentle incentive to use those systems anyway by giving you small buffs if you do
  • it also subtly encourages you to slow down and ground yourself in the game’s world, which helps stop you from rushing or playing mindlessly and helps you immerse yourself more at the same time
  • also if you’re playing in multiplayer it gives you a great opportunity to find safe areas and sit around and relax for a bit and talk before moving on

I think it’s actually perfect. I wish other survival games would do something like this. I know Valheim kinda does but idk vikings aren’t really my thing

Ready for more spook-tacular Doom gameplay? Well you're in luck because we've got plenty more from where we left off last time! The forced pistol starts was probably not a good mix with a gameplay mod such as Pandemonia, but I do wonder how it would fare with #HideousDestructor?

Ironically I just found this post because of a reply that happened across my feed.

I'm a webdev-focused software engineer by profession, but I enjoy playing and modding certain games in my spare time! Currently I've been grinding away on some addons for a very niche mod for Classic Doom games, called #HideousDestructor.

When I'm not developing mods, I'm trying to find time to play them and share those experiences over on Twitch!

We have some IRL stuff coming up this weekend, and I've got a bit of time to myself here, why not work on some more HDest mod development, shall we?

Happy #MemorialDay everyone! We had our plans open up for the day today, so I think we'll spend it chilling out with some #GZDoom mod development, shall we? We're working on some community mod refactoring and infrastructure building, so come stop by!

Some more progress on the Black Hole Generator! I messed a little with particle effects and tried giving it a little Accretion Disk that gets bigger as more stuff gets sucked into the Schwarzschild Radius. It's not perfect yet, and the particles can get a little funky if they're turned down in the settings, but overall I like where this is headed!

After an initial round of feedback, I've tweaked how the BHG "fires" the singularity. Instead of it being thrown from the gun itself, it now spawns wherever you're looking when it fires. Because of this, the player themselves are also beholden to the gravitational pull, which is definitely an added risk to the reward of being able to immediately delete everything across the battlefield...

We're back from a stormy and busy beginning of April, and today we're jumping into something new to me, #FARLoneSails! Might be quick though, in case we finish slightly early, we may hop on over to some #HideousDestructor as well. Come on by and chill while we sail the seven, err, seas? In today's #Sunday #Stream #Shenanigans!

I've been trying to decide what other weird weapons I want to add to my pack along with the pipebombs I've showed off before, and I've got a few stewing in some early notes documents here and there, but I was quickly inspired to make this behemoth, the Black Hole Generator, or BHG. Most of the base weapon code pulls from the standard BFG-9000 that HDest defines, but instead of a giant ball of Gretchenfrage flavored death, this gun fires, as the name implies, a Black Hole Singularity.

Still working on the graphical assets while I nail down the mechanics, but I finally got this thing behaving in a way that doesn't immediately crash or destroy itself out of nowhere, so that's progress!

Phew! That was a lot of #DoomII + #DoomRPG + #DRLA VODs... This is the final part of the original run. There's one more Mapset that this playthrough went through but that won't be for a bit. After this we've got some casual #Minecraft, the playthrough of #IonFury, some #StardewValley, and finally some rounds of #Kingdom before we get to that.

This was a wild playthrough, and I've honestly been itching to return to the mods now that they've been getting some updates and rebalancing and better support. It's a close second to #HideousDestructor as my favorite mod setups for Classic Doom.

@ishambard lol I figured, I voted assuming retail, too (honestly Archies are still terrifying to hear, especially if you don't see them)

#HideousDestructor makes them slippery little things that, when killed, will curse you sometime afterwards and mass revive dozens of corpses around you until it expends every revive (50 + 25 per player)
