Dear Doomers, after 16 years of its original release, we proudly present you the rejuvenated version of ZPack - Random Maps for ZDoom, a remastered version of 30 maps from the community's finest, originally released in 2008... wow... it's already been so long.
Why a remaster at all?
Even though the map pack has been of a very high quality back then, it didn't age well in the past years. For the remaster we didn't only add next-gen features but also tried to improve some of the weaker maps, when it comes to gameplay, texture choice and overall aesthetics. We spend the past 2 years (on-and-off) to get the project into a state that feels like a complete consistent experience, with all kinds of additional features that we consider to polish the final experience. I really hope you all like what we've done to the original project and looking forward to your feedback - maybe even from the original authors, as some of them are still around here
