Beautiful Strange Doom Sky Pack

About This File

A set of ten new skies for Doom. All of them 1024 pixels wide, divided in four pieces.

The WAD archive contains a small demo map (re- peated ten times, each one with a different sky), so you can view how the skies can be applied in the game.

There are also three folders. The named "truecolor" includes the original renders (256x192, 24 bpp). In "8bits-doom" you'll find the same graphics converted to Doom palette. And "8bits-128px-doom" contains the 128 pixel tall skies that I used in the demo WAD.

I tried to create certain variety of atmospheres. So there are some earth-like skies, an "inferno" sky, a moon-space one, a Mars inspired sky..., among others.

A decent but not excellent pack. Some of the skies are very good, but others looks a bit unnatural. They're pretty low-res, which can be a good or bad thing, but the JPEG artifacts is definitely a bad thing. The paletted versions are mediocre- I wouldn't say they're horrible but the truecolor ones are definitely better. A proper ZDoom TEXTURES lump would have been nice instead of the more universal but uselessly messy TEXTUREx lump.

If you're using Terragen, couldn't you have plonked in the tops and bottoms for people who have SKYBOXes in mind?

Very good skies, especially considering the Doom's palette limits.

At first it seems very disappointing, especially given the rave reviews; but you have to understand that this is for the original Doom. It's not one of those 3D Jdoom things. It all looks decent, although a bit samey. Despite using Terragen they tend to look very much like the Episode 3 sky with washier colours, but there's only so much you can do with Doom's palette.

Beautiful skies! It's a pity the doom engine trashes the original pictures, but 5/5 anyways. And HOW IN THE WORLD were these made from scratch?!

This is a very nice collection. May need some touching up here and there, but the way everything is included ready to go is just great. 4/5

these are pretty badass. I kinda wish the height was more than 200 though for ports that allow mouselook.

I kind of like the skies, although there are a few issues that bring the score down. 4/5.

This was made without doom's 256 color palette in mind. You could have used other colors that the palette wouldn't have destroyed and it would look a lot better. Instead, you chose whatever color you wanted and didn't seem to care whether it looked nice in doom or not.

      Unloved

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      The Revenant Problem

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
