(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
It's about 7 and a half minutes long. If you have trouble viewing our site, here's a direct link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4MHzazYlBA

Below is a list of the progress of all the maps in episode 3 (% complete):
  • Map 21: Launch Base (100% complete)
  • Map 22: Space (100% complete)
  • Map 23: Phobos (100% complete)

We will release a "Part 2" preview video of maps 26-30 closer to release. We will also be reaching out to the forums soon to look for volunteers to help test the final version, which will require GZDoom 4.11.3 (or later).
