In the same way I assume it has impacted may of you reading, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes in my life.
Due to these developments I am no longer able of devoting the time required to making maps for DoomFrag, therefore I am abandoning the project.
Although, all coding has been done, maps are really the only thing lacking, therefore I am releasing DoomFrag 1.0 for two reasons:
1 - Maybe there is somebody out there who would like to take over the project and bring it to conclusion (if you exist send me a private message);
2 - At the cost of sounding presumptuous, there is a bunch of neat stuff I pulled off for DoomFrag and I think it would be a shame if it were not made available to the public to freely use (at least in my opinion).
Therefore everything included in this pk3 that is my original creation is free to use by whoever wants to as long as:
1 - when used in a project there is a note somewhere in the credits stating something along the lines of "Thanks to Ivory Duke for blablabla whatever you took out";
2 - there is a gentlemen agreement that I will not put any effort in extracting any code block from the pk3, and I will provide no support for any bugs/unexpected behaviors. AKA it's all yours my men but you are on your own.
Although, best to my knowledge, it should all be extremely stable and reliable (dramatic music plays in the distance).
Old announcement trailer
WHAT MIGHT THERE BE IN HERE THAT COULD TICKLE YOUR INTEREST?!
Nothing new, but a specialized rendition of my Quake movement code, including an on screen strafejump help tool, proper rocket and nailjumping.
An almost totally reworked menu system that looks the same at all resolutions
A customizable class and map selection menu (instructions in a file inside the pk3)
Weapons that fire where the crosshair is (already previously released)
A state independent weapon powerup overlay
Possibly some other stuff I forgot.

I also take the opportunity to announce that I will most likely not be involved anymore in anything Doom modding related, as my interest has shifted to more modern engines.
So don't expect anything else from me unless proven otherwise.
I hope some of this stuff will be helpful to somebody.
This might be my last public interaction here so have fun and have a good life.
