Mr Bubz mode? Must be hiding in the options menu somewhere. Or maybe there's a console command for it? Who knows. It's a secret!
It's not anything major anyway, just a dumb easter egg I added because Mr Icarus' review said the floating eyeball enemies look like Mr Bubz (a weird looking dog from a viral internet video) - so it changes the graphics to look like the dog. One time I accidentally left it turned on while testing the game and it scared the shit out of me. Good times!

You probably need to make sure you're using a hardware renderer and not the Doom Software renderer.

The config defaults to freelook on, but can you complete the game and find all the secrets without freelook, classic Alien Breed style? Great TC btw, cheers for the effort you've put into this.

It is designed to use freelook, and I honestly haven't tested without freelook very extensively, but I see no reason it shouldn't be completable. The maps are largely the same as the original, there aren't really any crazy vertical bits added or secret high-up shootable switches or anything. Grenade Launcher can be a bit tricky to use though, as it doesn't really even attempt to autoaim, and if it did it would be weird anyway because of the trajectory, but hopefully that part is managable.

Dude, this is amazing. I'm a big DOS nut but I haven't delved into the Amiga pool yet so I've played Alien Breed 1 & 2 but not 3D. Having a faithful recreation in GZDoom is a huge benefit to retro games fans. Looking forward to checking it as soon as I finish the mricarus vid.

No idea how I've come across this, but it's pretty cool.
Thanks for porting this to the PC.

I've never played AB3D (I've never had an Amiga), but of course i know it exist and it had good reviews back then. And after first level i can say, this port is awesome and it got me.

Thank a ton for making this playable in such convenient and beautiful form, fantastic job!

Looking forward to the sequel, which is reportedly in the work as we speak!
