‘Doom’ mod Brutal Doom Receives Public Test Update

Published

on

Many longtime fans of the original Doom know about Sergeant_Mark_IV’s mod, Brutal Doom. Quite possibly the most definitive gameplay enhancement mod around, Brutal Doom is still going strong since its debut in 2012, and improving with each iteration. Seriously, if you haven’t played with this mod, you’re missing out. I mean, it’s friggin’ free to use!

Shilling aside, Sergeant_Mark_IV yesterday gave an update on the public test version of Brutal Doom v21. It’s not the completed version (which will probably be released after Christmas), but there’s already tons of new and enhanced features for guns, gore, enemies and even the maps. Ever wanted to rip out a Cacodemon’s eye and throw it at enemies? How about giving your rocket launcher a 3x zoom with a night scope? What about the ability to grab a zombie soldier and fling him across the room? You can with this update.

In addition, Brutal Doom is also up for Moddb’s Mod of the Year awards. If you’re a fan of the mod, consider voting. Rip and tear to your heart’s content!

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
