FREEBRutal.png

This is a fork off of Brutal FreeDoom GZD meant to go back closer to the Roots of FreeDoom, and thereby Doom as well. Full text of the main description will be supplied below and also on the Download Link. This is a summary: Less grenade hell than its parent mod, more custom assets supplied by myself like custom gore, tracers, and custom coding or adapted coding written by me. Basically the only explosives are based on Vanilla type standards. To be more Brutal we got more guns, and ammo types than the parent mod had. Indeed the majority of the guns are modified directly from FreeDoom itself, and same for ALL but 1 of the monsters who was too cool pass up on. Top it off with some humor and alt death states based on exdeath and elemental damage and you get a fun but simple experience designed to jump right into. Player movement physics are modeled on Duke3D but written from scratch by me. All bullet guns reload, and all altfires are Punch so Berserk is much easier to enjoy when available. All skill levels are Vanilla.

Load PK3 with any Doom or FreeDoom IWAD and PWADs. GZDoom or LZDoom needed. Kept light to mix with Texture Mods, HUD mods or Gore Mods. Has custom Gore in it, but still compatible with Nashgore. It supplies Weapons, Monsters, Liquids and Gore.



Brutal FreeDoom ExKalibered



Intro

The Year doesn't matter. The Alternate Universe of FreeDoom has taken on a new form. Reformed after years of war but still the Alien Menace persists.
A company called the UAC, a private Corporation, has joined the AGM in their plight, but all isnt fairing well. Yet all is not lost, the decimation of the Serpentipede home world bought Humanity a bit of time, but the old hindrance was quickly replaced. But something stirred deep, and a chill was felt on the psychic waves. Something not encountered or concieved. Even the destruction of the last Mother Brain wasn't as painful as what ESPER branch was reporting.
Things changed when the first assaults in half a decade resumed. Teleporters opening and old faces appeared with blood, but others were new. But the Psychic Training failed and soldiers fell under sway to the Aliens just like before. AGM braced for impact, and hoped the same old tactics would work again.
War never changes when it is genocide versus slavery.


Main info.

Welcome to Brutal FreeDoom ExKalibered! This a rebuilt fork built by me try some new ideas, and also return to more of a FreeDoom style feel.
This is accomplished with using the original FreeDoom weaponry, and couple others added for flavor. This is a very gun heavy mod in the style of Doom and FreeDoom.
This is not the grenade hell of the mother mod line. More guns, more ammotypes, a few different and even new monsters. But whats really changed is the combat flow.
It feels like Doom, but now you move like Build Engine with less sliding and just as fast as Doom. No more Nashgore, but now using a custom built Gore system by me.
Zombies move faster, Imps are now more Imp and less insect, but not Doom Imp; they are awesome.

With Love I present this FreeDoom(and Doom of course) mod as personal achievement in Gameplay Modding, and hope it brings as many smiles to others that it did for me.

Kalensar.
