Project Einherjar - Final-FINAL Release
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 8:18 pm
So I had a fun idea for a way to promote my dystopian novel on Amazon and Smashwords.
Why not a Doom mod?
DOWNLOOOOAD!
5-episode GZDoom mod, 35 levels, all-new weapons and enemies. Shoot up the opposition with 8 brutal weapons, including a retrievable ballistic knife. Stomp bad guys with martial arts -- a good kick is always available with the alt fire key. Fight nasty bosses every few maps in the style of Wolf3D. Get engrossed in the backstory for each episode in the readme file.
Episode 1: The Gaulheim Hit. As a blizzard isolates Gaulheim from the rest of civilization, Juno Radcliffe infiltrates the lair of Dr. Gaul to assassinate her and put an end to her super soldier project and other crimes against humanity.
Episode 2: Deep Into White Hell. Juno awakens as a prisoner of the dreaded White Hell penal colony, where Warden Veidt has restarted the Einherjar project…and plans to use Juno in her next field test.
Episode 3: The Iron Invasion. Juno’s investigation of a cyber-drone attack leads her across the sea to warlike Jotunheim, where Baron Frostgard has been building an army of Einherjar for a full-scale invasion.
Episode 4: The Scourge of Mordin. Juno is poisoned by the mad high priest/dictator of the Mordin mountain colony, mistaken for an assassin sent by Matron. Now Juno must ironically fulfill the madwoman’s worst fear in order to get the antidote.
Episode 5: Return to Jotunheim. When a Jotun research vessel is sunk by a ship bearing the Midgard flag, a new war seems imminent. Only Juno can capture the offending ship and bring the architects of the impending war to justice.
Marty Kirra has been nice enough to let me mod a few of his assets here and there, since his Space Pirate and my novel's protagonist aren't too different (physically anyway).
About the Book Series
Juno Radcliffe is a former army commando and former POW camp warden who lives an empty, solitary life during nuclear winter in the fascist state of Midgard. In The Helios Legacy she becomes a pawn in a power play when the new dictator-to-be orders her to deliver a eugenically perfect boy to her sister dictator on the other side of the wasteland. With a treacherous despot awaiting her, a team of assassins on her tail, and irradiated tundra in-between, the delivery is anything but a simple errand. In Kingdom of Famine, she returns to her corrupt home town to bury her estranged mother and investigate the suspicious manner of her suicide, stirring up a bloody hornet's nest in the process.
The books and the mod both have a lot of Norse mythological influences. Mythological valkyries would choose which fallen warriors got to go to Valhalla; in the book, the Valkyrie Guard polices all of Midgard's male population. The einherjar was what those fallen soldiers became when they reached Valhalla; here, its the name of the super soldier project where hapless male subjects are converted into giant murderous fuck-apes. Etc, etc.
But wait, there's more! You can also get this on the download page:
Wolfendoom Fan Episode: Operation Arctic Wolf. A mod of the Wolfendoom adventure of the same name, replacing BJ and the nazis with Juno and the PE enemy roster, plus a few new faces. Contains a modified version of the original Wolfendoom mod, adding new stuff and fixing a couple of map details. Doesn’t need the original Wolfendoom mod to play: it’s basically self-contained.
