CatacombGL 0.5.7 is released!
The first version of the new year is unfortunately a much needed hot-fix. In the previous version I accidently introduced a crash when taking certain exit portals. The crash report from Github user DEA1HYT is much appreciated.

People have been asking us if we can add the possibility to play with the original PC-Speaker sounds. So we did. You can also combine it with music. A lot players that played BioMenace in 1993 experience the game like this. How did you play it?

Catacomb 3-D (1991) is the first FPS to display the player’s hand in a texture-mapped 3D environment, making it one of the earliest examples of what would evolve into the modern first-person shooter genre.

I started working on the CatacombGL source port again. In the coming months I would like to get rid of the "beta" tag and work towards a proper version 1.0.0.
Currently I'm working on a fun feature: support for the Catacomb 3-D Big Box as published by @johnromero.bsky.social in 2024.
