Read the F.A.Q. before asking something!

F.A.Q.
Q: Why are you here?
A: Because I am back once again!

Q: Sure, but we all thought you will never return!
A: So did I!

Q: So what made you change your mind?
A: There are many reasons, but the most important ones are the Doom Addiction and the ZDoom community

Q: The Doom Addiciton?
A: If you don't know what I am talking about, you are working for the wrong game ;)

Q: The community? But I thought you hate the community?
A: Yeah, and I still do, especially Doomworld but I found out that ZDoom was always a place much better than Doomworld and Newdoom, it just had a few persons who contaminated this clean place, but they are gone now and Mods like Bio and QBasicer are what was hardly needed! Beyond that, several people wrote me very kind emails and I think it is very fair to mention some of them which put a lot of effort in their emails: Ismaele, Nash and Enjay! If someone is happy, that I am back again, don't thank me or my decision, thank the addiciton and those people!

Q: KDiZD sucks and so do you!
A: This is no question!

Q: Does KDiZD suck?
A: No!

Q: Do you return to Doomworld?
A: No! Community is full of retards, most of them in a leading position over there, I don't like this place, it is hostile, stay away!

Q: Do you return to Newdoom?
A: Never left, never been there much, but I'll return ;)!

Q: What have you done in the meantime?
A: I browsed through the forums to see what is going to change, what has changed and what is happening while I am away (and no, I didn't want to see, if me leaving made a big impact on the community, though it was nice to see that there was a lot of interest ;)) Beyond that, I continued on KDiZD and TNT4

Q: What about TNT4? Any interesting news?
A: Yeah, this is the second part of this thread:

Torment & Torture 4 : Havoc
Okay, a lot has happened since I left the community, I had a few days of great interest in mapping the last few weeks, especially for TNT4 and that is why you will get a shitload of new/old screenshots now ;)

Story
"It was the moment when I slowly opened my eyes after the journey through the dark portal, the moment when chaos and devastation became a horrible but true reality, the moment when I first saw the origin, the source of all evil, of all hellspawn which came through the gates on phobos, deimos and mars, of all horrors and havoc which came through the dark portal to hunt down our own homeworld. That was the moment I will never ever forget! ... the moment I die!"
==END OF LOG==
Since the dark portal has been discovered, the hordes of evil seem to have increased about 3 or 4 times. Earth finally became hell, most of the planet's population has been massacred and the few who are still alive hide theirselves in the last remaining cities defended by the government of earth. But everyone knows that the defence won't stand any more waves of beasts, it's likely that no human-being will ever see the light of a rising sun again... but are we really lost?
As a final effort, earth's government sent hundreds of space marines to the source beyond the dark portal, a last attempt to release the terran worlds from suffering, from terror and from death... though ... what if our time is already over? Is there anything beyond our destiny?

Screenshots

MAP02 of TNT3 and opener of TNT4, destroyed and overwhelmed by the neverending waves of demons, battle your way through the monsters and your comrades to reach the Portal!

The gateway, where the human army has entered and where you start your longest journey!

The other side!

Someone might recognize this place from somewhere else... even Doomguy does ;)

Image
Apocalypse now!

Close to the Edge of Chaos

Cutmanmike meets TNT-style! ;)

Image
The Edge of Chaos! The tower from below, and yes, you will get the chance to climb on top of this beast ;)

Image
OMG, what is it? This must be the energy light beam of "The Source", your destination!

Image
But before you get there, a long and hard journey through a new dimension is waiting for you ;)

Statistics & Progress
MAP01 and MAP02 are detailwise finished and don't need structural touch-ups, but some gameplay tweaks, because ammo is very low again. MAP03 is about 75% finished, the end-arena and the path leading there are not done yet, but everything looks promising, even the complete new Boss, you will meet ;)
TNT4 will be finished in about 1 month, so stay tuned!

Features
- New monsters from the latest resource pack
- One new Boss, never seen before
- Never seen before architecture
- Stunning atmosphere
- Effects that will kill your CPU
- 3 MAPs in one TNT
- One amazing Soundtrack
- The last TNT part ever!
- Mixed textures from Quake, GothicDM and Francois DelMotte's OgroPack
- Works with the official ZDoom build (.96, no extended build features)

Welcome back. I'm glad you changed your mind. Not only because you're a good mapper, but because your a strong voice of sanity in the community. So, yeah, it's good to see you again (see being a very loosely applied term).

Welcome back! You made the best decision ever by joining us again. Told ya you can NEVER get away from ZDooming! ;)

Cheers, Torm. Glad to hear that you didn't delete my e-mail... ;)

Can't wait to play these! And Netherworld too!

Regarding screenshots with comets and comet trails: Uh-oh. Not good for my CPU. ;)

I must have missed this one being away for 5 weeks. Anyway, nice to see you back Torm and I look forard to KDIZD and TNT4 especially.

Now if only my life wasn't such a mess I'd get HTI2 back on the rails. Long story so I won't go into details but cut it short, the military sucks and the HD crashed.
