Doom : Slayer Edition

[Rick Dangerous]

Somehow the mini-HUD manages to look like it belongs in the original game.  Nice work!  Following this one closely as always...can't wait to play it someday, and hopefully purchase a cart release.

...and for some sh*ts and giggles, I've added another new Hud option. The "mini" hud.

This is mainly designed as an option to reduce bandwidth and help performance. 

 

So we now have "Jag", "Mini" and "PC" hud options for the player to pick from the Slayer  options menu. 

 

 

 

 

You would think with a slimmer HUD and a bigger action window, the performance would take a hit rather than improve. But I don't know anything about that kind of thing...

So is "Slayer Edition" the official title now? Or is it still a working title?

[7800JAGFAN]

Also is this just a premiere of a "works in progress" or the finished game?

Sweet!  Now when can I play it... the Jag has been gathering dust waiting in anticipation for it!    Actually I have plenty of reason to dust it off with the Towers II and Kingdom of Edom, etc.  Just haven't found the time to!

Question: it is mentioned to have Pro controller support.  Didn't the original Doom have that?  (Granted since the buttons are just remaps anyhow, support is just kind of there.)

On the original Doom, the 4 & 6 buttons (the shoulder buttons) mapped to weapon selection. So we have remapped the buttons to allow the shoulder buttons to work as strafe. Pro controller isn't mandatory though.

 

We don't have a release date yet, there are still some issues to iron out and a proper optimization pass to do.

[+CyranoJ]

Huge thank you to ZPH for running that stream!!  That was a lot of fun to watch!

 

Do we have any doubters left here? No? Good.

 

Some videos I made a while back, but held until the stream went live....

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Welshworrier]

And people should watch the stream for the extra product info.....

 

E.g. D2

[+Saturn]

That stream was phenomenal. Slayer Edition is incredible and Doom 2 is absolutely remarkable.

For anyone who fancies reading the current change log. Here are the main highlights.

That would explain why the GBA maps were not included... That is a lot of features and QOL additions. Also, heck yeah for Doom II!

[+Stephen]

Holy hell!  That's an impressive showing - the change log alone.  Congrats all around.

[+Neon Wraith]

I LOVE Doom!  I'm so excited for this to be available.  Congratulations to all involved here, it's a hell of an accomplishment!

[+Neon Wraith]

This change log is so good I need to comment twice 😁.  Are there plans to make the Jag Link software more stable?  If so, I'll have to save a little extra for two copies!

[PFG 9000]

Forgive me for gushing a little, but this is spectacular.  I knew you guys had worked on the Super Shotgun, but I actually wasn't anticipating a full port of Doom II.  Of course I had hopes for a future project, but I didn't think we would see something this far along just yet.  And Heretic would be crazy.  Unless I'm mistaken, this would be the first console port of Heretic.  And to have that happen on the Jag would be ridiculous! 

 

It's also great to see the Slough of Despair here (and the Tower of Babel, but we knew you had put that back in already).  I really am trying to avoid making comparisons to the 32X Doom Resurrection project, because it's a very good thing that both projects exist.  But I think it's options like the enhanced gore and shotgun effects, and HUD choices, that will make this stand out.  The Pro Controller strafing will be a nice bonus too...finally we can circle-strafe in JagDoom!

 

Really nice work on this, guys.  Thanks for keeping the Jaguar alive.

[+Smallywood]

Really impressed! Can’t wait to slay this one!

[DEATH]

mmmh, this is strange
