They’re gonna be a major hassle, but only work when they have a target. I can see people putting them on walls so they can spew flemoids down onto invading hordes.

And Virus’ Meshfliers are in, so that’s wave 2 of the Tier 4 monsters! The Meshflier is expensive, but it’s a total beast.

CQ’s Maximus is in! Interesting unit to stat. Same cost as a Hell Noble, but a whole Tier later. It’s pretty serious business to make up the difference. Hell nobles rely on poison damage at range whereas Maximii deal the same damage against every target, but not as much as a Noble vs a Bio target.

Took a brief Kirby Air Riders break to implement the Order Bishop. He’s an obscenely long-ranged sniper. Upgrades for either homing, or a triple rocket ability that deals out mondo damage.

It’s Trans day of Remembrance. This is BlueSky, so I think 65% of my personal feed is trans people, so here I am in support. Trans Rights are Human Rights!

It’s International Men’s Day, which is to say that it is NOT a day for Disciples of D’Sparil and Dark Bishops, because they are women.

I’ve got Thursday off this week for Kirby Air Riders, so I’ll get the rest of the 2nd wave of Tier 4 monsters done in hopes of doing Wave 3 this weekend. That will complete Tier 4, then it’s on to Heroes. Sheesh.

That one time I made a thread of ZDW 1 memories on my personal account and got the first map for it wrong …

Me, five minutes after release when someone does something completely off the wall that either breaks everything or works too well:
We intend on a long alpha and beta testing period. There’ll be a discord and invites.

Rebecca Heineman’s co-founding of Interplay resulted in the publishing or development of a vast array of games. Fallout, Freespace, Starfleet Command, all under their umbrella and all important to me. She did incredible work and will be very missed.

Me, every weekend when it’s time to code:
All other time is just a windup to ZDoom Wars. And gaming. And writing. And watching movies. Look, I just enjoy my weekends.

I don’t dive into politics on here, so when I affirmatively say Trans Rights, you are correct in interpreting that Trans Rights are not a political subject because existence is not a debate.
So, as hinted at previously: TRANS RIGHTS

Every time I jump in for some games of Ghouls vs Humans: Reborn, I get called “Captain ZDoom Wars”. 4 people did it tonight!

Wasn’t up to much Dev this weekend. I’ll pick it back up next week. Got an extra day off I might use to finish this wave of monsters. The final wave of Tier 4 monsters is gonna be tougher. Some detailed behaviors. For example, Flembranes, when you USE them, will spawn slime walls to either side!

Reivers are in. Mean for their size! Their upgrade makes them Stealth (nasty for an air unit, and especially a unit that hurts more in melee). When Blessed (i.e. when spawned during the correct moon phase) they can inflict Plague in melee, which is pretty fucked up.

Pain Elementals are in. We’ll see if I get the other 5 of this wave done this weekend. Got some pointers and got mastery working with the various Pain Elemental spawning calls. Getting REAL familiar with mastery. A projectile spawns a monster which spawns a projectile that spawns a monster, etc.

The ZDoom Discord (which rules) has had this as its logo for years. I think it used to just be during Pride month, but then some bigot whined so it’s just this forever now.

Working on the manual. Other monster entries are usually 3 to a page, but Hell Nobles are pretty complex.

Inspired by @neuralstunner.bsky.social , I have begun throwing notes together for a ZDoom Wars 2 manual. I envision it being like a For Dummies book with little asides to highlight important details. I have made the requisite icons.
If nothing else, this game will be documented.
