Hey ! Hello everyone, im back since a while but i did not have many free time to spend on the project.
Don't worry though, even if it will take more time to do, the project will never be abandoned.

It been five years now since i began the project, i spent a lot of hours on this.
Im not gonna abandone this.

Well, for now i'm making a journey in the deep of my imagination.
I will make some sketch on real paper, to see how i could design some areas.
Because the game is still missing many maps and stuffs.

Out of this i got the idea for something, and i have some preview here:


For you that did play the last beta to the end, you might have an idea of what it is.
Anyway that is all i have to say for now.
I will release a beta some day when many progress will be done.
Thank you.

[BigProjectAlone]

My friend Darsycho recently noticed a bug in the beta 2.31, that infortunately break the entire game..
At map35 (Water temple level 02) the startspot is not at the good place.
So i doubt someone finished the beta..
Sorry it seems like i've released a broken beta again..

[BigProjectAlone]

Hello everyone!, just to show you some things i'm working on while my friend Darsycho is still testing the beta.
Since he will fix things and release the next version, im spending my time on sprites.

So here is some preview of what i've done so far:
NUDITY WARNING

[Unholypimpin]

That spiderqueen sprite looks awesome, keep up the good work =D

[BigProjectAlone]

Thanks!! and well, sorry for not posting anything since a while, my job took all my time..
I'm back for a couples of week (2 or 4), we are trying to finish some things before the next beta.
Darsycho is working on balancing the monsters and stuff, and fixing many problems while i'm working on many missing sprites.

We will probably be able to release the next version soon.

[BigProjectAlone]

GOOD NEWS HERE, Darsycho sent me the updated version of Mortila.
I took my entire day to test it to the end (took me 7h22m43s to reach the very end).
Its fully playable, just a couples of thing to fix before the next beta.
And i want to finish something else before the release too, its a surprise i hope you all will enjoy.

So, the next version will probably be released soon (a matter of weeks) if everything continue on the good way.

[BigProjectAlone]

Hey also here's 2 sketchs i did of Creatures from the Darkness realm:
NUDITY WARNING / Also big pictures
Sketch: 1
Sketch: 2



EDIT: Seems like i still forgot another important thing on the release, i will upload a "patch" w'ill say.
It is just for the end of the game so if you dont play it to the end dont bother about this.
So, you would just have to delete the map60 from the MAPS folder inside the .pk3 and import this new one here if you want to try the final boss.
Or simply drag both Mortila beta 2.44.pk3 & MAP60.wad over GZDoom.exe seems to works fine too.

Here is the file


Also !!

[ceriux]

hey guys i dragged the pk3 file over gzdoom and selected one of my doom wads and i get missing textures and sprites... also the color mapping seems to be all wrong? any help?
