They call it Misri Halek because it's Misri-able. Has anyone done this joke before??
Screenshot from the start of Misri Halek, a custom map from the Doom wad Alien Vendetta. It shows the entrance to a pyramid under a starry sky. The map is famous in part for being really long and hard.

Not actually sure these are an improvement, but I threw some switch texture edits together in the hopes it would be more obvious that they're shootable.

This has been fixed in the upcoming version of DMA-BSP64, but one of the quirks of previous versions was totally unpredictable scrolling effects. Normal speed? Yep. Super fast? Sure, why not. Fast and in reverse? Hell yeah.

And the award for Innovation in Visual Glitches award goes to...
Doom 64 screenshot showing a brown and orange-lit techbase where a bug has caused a pipe texture to stretch across the screen. The visual glitch from a different angle, causing the sector with the pipe texture to be drawn over top of an imp in the foreground. Standing directly in front of the glitched sector, where it looks like it stretches ahead infinitely.

Kind of incredible how much cleaner this map looks in the editor with a teleport setup rather than enemies spawning directly into the arena.
A Doom 64 map shown in Doom Builder from both 3D view and top-down. The 3D view is cluttered with dozens of enemy sprites, making it hard to see what's going on. The top-down view has so many little pink enemy indicators overlapping that you couldn't even accurately count them. The same map shown from both views, but each cluster of enemies is replaced with a single teleport destination and you can actually see the item pickups and barrels.

There's a couple shell pickups in map19 of The UnMaking that fly up into the ceiling and can't be collected once you progress past a certain point. Since I always pick them up, I never noticed this issue before.

Anyway, it helps to have playtesters. But also I'm not fixing this because it's funny.
Doom 64 screenshot. An underdetailed techbase environment with basic lighting and lots of sharp corners. Two shotgun shell pickups are suspended in the ceiling over the player's head.

It's getting colder outside! Don't forget you can always warm up around your local flaming skeleton.
Doom 64 screenshot. It shows an icy blue castle corridor, but in the center is the warm glow of a cheerily burning hanging skeleton.

I guess it's no secret I'm working on another update to The UnMaking. Nodebuilder improvements mean I can reduce the file size and improve loading times, but it's hard to resist making subtle visual improvements while I'm in there. Prime example from Blast Processing:
A Doom 64 screenshot showing a large cavern with molten yellow liquid flowing through it. It's flatly lit with kind of an orange hue. The same area, but the walls and rock formations are darker, creating a starker contrast with the bright yellow. More gradient lighting also makes it feel like the liquid is giving off a warm glow.

The Spongebob meme where he's saying "I fucking love X," edited to say "I fucking love brutalism. I want to fucking live in a world of cold, lifeless concrete."

Sorry, boss. I can't finish my map for <current project> right now, I'm drawing new railing and icicle textures for this wad I released five years ago.
A screenshot from the Doom 64 wad The UnMaking. Two imps are attacking the player in a techbase room of walkways suspended over a starry sky. Another Doom 64 screenshot, showing a hellish library. A thick blue fog and skylights ringed with icicles imply it is quite cold.

Sector art from The UnMaking.
Automap view of a Doom map. A beige X shape, brighter at the center, with purple and white dots accenting it. An irregular shape made up of blue-gray lines, orange boxes, and little teal triangles. A four-armed pink and purple spiral starburst.

Close-up of a mostly white cat, with black around his ears. He is so beautiful and powerful.

Ebisumaru from the Ganbare Goemon series, who wears a little blue bandana on his head, tied under his nose. The bandana is called a tenugui, and when secured this way under the nose is visual shorthand in Japanese media for a thief or burglar. Anyway fuck ICE.

Well, that was a videogame.
Screenshot from the game Mouthwashing. Some kind of cockpit where every computer monitor displaying a warning message or a red eyeball. There's blood on the back of the headrest of one of the chairs. An Escher-esque scene with staircases running in multiple directions (some upside-down) through a dark, cavernous space. A huge red screen with cracks spiderwebbing outward from the center. Despite the damaged display, a message can still be made out: "Warning. Emergency. Warning. Critical System Failure"

This is art, to me.
Tuxedo cat laying on a bed. She is looking over her shoulder while her two dumbass siblings fight over a spot behind her on the giant bed that could easily fit like 10 cats.

Doom screenshot. A dark, semi-surreal cityscape. A grandfather clock stands against a brick wall, a fenced green space houses a single dead tree, and stained glass are windows set in a featureless concrete building. Another cityscape, where the walls rise out of sight and no sky can be seen. A line of candles bridge the open air between two buildings. An apparent dimension drive, going by the computer screens that read "dimension drive offline." Various indecipherable tech stuff, including red circuitry under the player's feet. A figure in a suit and tie stands ominously in the center of the scene.

Finished the shareware. I do not, in fact, have any curiosity about the further adventures of the Shadowforce, and I suspect nobody did back in 1994 either.
"Mission Complete" screen from the terrible DOS game Shadowforce. We are in the middle of a message that reads "...beverages. If, on the other hand, you have some curiosity about the further adventures of the Shadowforce, or the race of mysterious aliens heading toward Earth, then feel free to contact MVP Software about ordering the next missions. Hope you enjoyed the game!"

Random old scwiba map of the day: Down the Privy

E2M1 of UnBeliever (2019)
Heretic screenshot: a crudely-rendered town with an open dirt area between stone and wood structures. The same area seen from the opposite direction, while a battle plays out with several nitrogolems. A mossy sewer sort of area. The player is firing the crossbow at some gargoyles and a disciple.

This line in the intro goes extremely hard though.
Black screen with red text that just says "CRIME IS THE NEW GOD"

I don't understand why I keep coming back to this childhood game because every time I do I remember that it's boring and sucks.
Black screen with pixelated font reading "Shadowforce: Produced by MVP Software" A menu from Shadowforce with the options "Load Mission," "Mission Briefing," and "Cancel." A text box below says the following: "Mission Briefing: August 20th 2112. Security Clearance Omega Approved. Earth Central Command has lost all contact with the Icarus Space Station two days ago. Its final message was a cry for help, gunshots and explosions clearly audible in the background." Another Shadowforce screen depicting the main gameplay. There is a small window in the top left showing the room the player is in. To the right are interactable objects and enemies. The bottom half is taken up by character portraits, buttons for using items, movement buttons, etc.

Random old scwiba map of the day: Infernal Eternal

E3M5 of UnAligned (2016)
Doom level with a big room that doesn't know if it wants to be a techbase or Hell. Hexagonal metal floor tiles, molten rock walls, and a pillar of skulls in the center. The same room from a different angle. Demon corpses litter the floor as more enemies teleport in. A cyberdemon and spider mastermind infighting at close range.

Random old scwiba map of the day: Cryostasis Station

E2M5 of UnAligned (2016)
Doom screenshot showing a large concrete room with a pool of water in the middle and a glowing red pillar emerging from it. Alcoves filled with imps line an upper walkway. Looking out into a dark room with lamps in the distance and another pool of water and red pillar. A courtyard lit by big spotlights under a hellish sky. There is a cyberdemon at the far end.

Random old scwiba map of the day: Shrine of the Cacodemon

E3M3 of UnAligned (2016)
Doom screenshot showing a green marble room overlooking a Hellish landscape. There is a soulsphere in the center. Cacodemons approaching from a distant tower. The player surrounded by live cacodemons and the bodies of defeated ones.
