Serious Sam: The Retro Encounter is a fan made, freeware DooM mod that aims to recreate Serious Sam's gameplay and provide a balanced multiplayer and an unique Serious Sam style campaign.
SS:TRE was made by me and Duke_Nume in 2011, originally just as a tribute to the nearly-teased Serious Sam 3 Trailer.
I've Rebooted and reworked the whole game, fixing most of the flags, completely re-writing the story.

Yesterday, Serious Sam 4 was teased, and i couldn't help but think of my first "big" project, The Retro Encounter.
Not many people associate me with this project, but working on this is what made me love Doom modding and this beautiful community, I've made many mistakes but also achieved many goals here, and other projects like Golden Souls wouldn't even be possible without the knowledge i gained from working on Sam.
This is why i'm releasing an update today, consider it the "final version".
The project was never completed and it still isn't, there's no new content. I've just decided to patch some stuff in order to make it work as intended with the current version of Zandronum, and also brought back Gzdoom support, even if it's not tested and i still recommend to play it with Zandro.
