I used to play your Deluge map back in Sven Co-op and I must say this looks like a most exciting project to look forward to!

After nearly two grueling months of fixes and improvements, Deluge steps into 2021 with confidence. New abilities like telekinesis and teleporting, mass code optimization, new and improved assets, mapping additions and a focused drive for the next phase of development are signs of a release this year.

Looks awesome. Love the graphics, especially the gore trees.

As gameplay features continue to be refined there is more reason to be crystal clear with teaching the player about their abilities and what is required of them to progress. To this effect a whole new tutorial map has been created covering the basics of player abilities and early game combat. You'll also get another glimpse at the looming behemoth that is Bacillus City.

Absolutely astounding mapping. The last one looks absolutely big and i thought it wasn't doom map at all.

After several months of grueling development much progress on Deluge has been made, involving overhauls to major elements such as player abilities, monster AI, level design and many assets related to weapons and props.

With the layout and basic journey of each map now more or less finalized, it is now time to fine tune the visuals with an art pass to really bring out all the meaty details.

In other news, there has been much in the way of code overhauls. These range from performance optimizations (certain areas now have a framerate boost up to 50, and think times for actors are cut down across the board) to streamlining of weapon functions to new AI practically remade from scratch.

When this work is finished, the stage will be set to complete the planned monster roster and implement the last remaining major gameplay elements - in effect making the mod ready for the final polish phase where placeholder assets will be replaced.
