Update On Phobos

Category: DOOM |
shaviro updated the Phobos site with the second DevBlog entry (I think I missed the first one from September) with info about new team members, weapons, helmet, water and maneuverability.We didn't feel that the plasmagun had the same awesome kick & effect of the old games. The sound was a little tame and the plasma bolt looked plain and friendly. The plasmagun being the favourite weapon of certain members of the team, we decided to bring back the look, feel and sound of the old version. Expect to see a deep blue electrical cloud along with an updated version of the characteristic Doom plasma sound. Be sure to hit the Phobos site and read more about the Doom 3 mod that is being developed by Team Future.

Over on Edge they posted all about Id On Rage And The Future where they talk with Todd Hollenshead and Tim Willits.The company is still very small. We’re 60 people now – which is huge for us. But during development of Doom 3 the company was 26 or 27. So we try and keep it small; we don’t have a licensing department because we want to focus on making the games. Have a look at Id On Rage And The Future...

WildWeasel updated the Doom Armory with some info about a mod that only exists in his brain, which is called Johnny Seven.Johnny Seven was a mod where you literally start with every weapon in the game built into the same gun. The only problem was, you didn't have any ammo for most of the functions except for the machinegun. Hit the Doom Armory to read the rest of what WildWeasel is thinking about.

And now for something completely different! Today we don't go to somebody's wad, or go to the forums, or check on some music.... blah... blah... blah... Instead we shall put a hit on the NASA site because they posted the image of the day gallery which includes a shot of Phobos that was captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Now they figure that the moon is in fact Doomed..... seriously that's what the say. Read the quote.Phobos orbits so close to Mars that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In 100 million years or so, Phobos likely will be shattered by stress caused by the relentless tidal forces, the debris forming a decaying ring around Mars. So there you go! I'm off to dig up more wacky and or mundane news things.

I was on Mod db looking for mods to add to the Friday Mod post on Mindless Games and noticed this PsychoPhobia mod for Doom 2 was just released.Psychophobia CM is a mod for the original Doom, Doom2, TNT, Plutonia and other maps. It includes all the stuff of PsychoPhobia (no maps) and replaces the original stuff in the original maps. There's not much info about it over there and Cobalterix's site is in German (I think) but it looks from that site that GZDoom is required. Maybe there's more info in the download but I gotta run.....

Not much seems to be going on, so I looked at /id Games and TimeOfDeath released a singleplayer map for Doom 2 that is called Flanagan.This is a modified version of sloth map03. It's a circular, symmetrical spam arena thing - again. FLAN - AGAN. It's designed for jumping, rocket jumping, and freelook, but you can get to the exit without using those things. It's not designed for crouching or bfg aiming. Have a look at some Flanagan.

Some Rage info appeared on Shack News and apparently the game could get digital distribution after all."We have not written off digital distribution for Rage," Willits told 1UP. "We haven't figured out what we want to do yet. But I do want to fix the fact that John [Carmack] said [digital distribution is] not going to happen. What I'm saying is that's not true." Although this is a rehash of what is in the 1UP article, it's interesting to read through the comments on Shack.

1UP posted up a interview where they talk with Tim Willits and Todd Hollenshead of id Software about Rage, Quake Live and Wolfenstein..... in this article called: id's Growing Pains. Here is a bit on Rage..As the game begins, the first thing you need to do in this world is learn to survive on your own. Then you must work with the settlers against the bandits and mutants. Ultimately, you will align yourself with a small resistance group fighting against a mysterious force in the wasteland called the "Authority" -- a regime-like government bent on controlling everything. Check out the three pages of id's Growing Pains.
