(Updated the progress list on December 3, 2023)
Hi ya'll,
We wanted to post another status update for Doom Returns - Episode 3. We expect to release this final episode in Q4 of 2023. This will mark the full release version of Doom Returns and will contain updates that affect episodes 1 and 2 also, such as:
- New item: Torch (replaces the invisibility powerup)
- New item: Quad Damage (replaces the Berserk powerup)
- Various polishing, bug fixes, and improvements
As with episodes 1 and 2, episode 3 will contain 10 regular maps and 2 secret maps.
You can view a preview video of the first 5 maps of episode 3 here: https://www.itsdandytime.com/doom-retur ... -3-preview
