Spawn Redux V2.0

About This File

REQUIRES AT LEAST GZDOOM V4.3.1!

 

 A 5 map hub centered around a UAC xenobiological research facility on Epsilon Eridani III.

 

 This redux version of SPAWN fixes the vast majority of bugs which plagued the original version 1.0 of this mod, and (hopefully) only a handful remain. Known bugs include the brightmap for the small cell pack showing up on the alternative HUD instead of the cell pack itself. This will not be fixed, nor will a handful of other bugs that remain as I will be "retiring" from the mapping scene after 22 years.

 

 In addition, I have dialed up the difficulty levels and have overhauled the most difficult skill level. 

 

 Balancing in the game has been revised as well, and some areas have been revised in terms of texturing and design.

 

 This game also features a rudimentary achievement system. The list of achievements to "unlock" is as follows:

 

 1. Discover all secrets 2. Pick up all items 3. Kill all monsters 4. Complete all level stats for the game 5. Find the hidden BFG9000 6. Find the "easter egg" 7. Break all breakable windows in the game 8. Play the game without a backpack 9. Speedrun the game in under 15m45s 10. Complete hard mode by staying above 66 health 11. Complete the game in hard mode in under 40mins

Really impressive (and sadly overlooked) hub. Nice visuals/atmosphere, and great gameplay with some really neat ideas. Also, it never gets confusing and boring like so many other hub-style wads, I always knew where I need to go and exploration was fun from start to finish. Another plus for author being Revelation Space fan.;)

Very interesting doom3 atmosphere. Beauty hub design but a bit confusing. Gameplay is acceptable but not hard or well-balanced. Some bugs in doors. Final boss is not challenging. Still, interesting work 4/5

Great use of Doom2 stock textures and light varience breathing life back into abundantly overused IWAD materials. Graphical bugs aside (which is really the fault of the port) this a fun and atmospheric gl wad everyone must experience! 5/5 FoH

pretty good - a few bugs here and there, but that's about it.

Awful. Cloned rooms, bad enemy's, stupid doors, doors that opened elsewhere, boring gameplay, less of colours, inconvenient weapons, final boss, no story, uninteresting music. Need more arguments? I can write for a long time.

First-class hub. Classy use of GZDoom effects, pretty and coherent visuals, excellent gameplay. Not in any way hard, but I never considered that as a bad thing.

This was really good, I'm honestly suprised it has so few ratings. Kind of Quake 2 style hub, luckily visuals are nothing like Q2.:) Pretty good looking stuff, tasteful use of 3D and reflective floors, very polished. I really wish more hub-style wads went for this kind of helpful objective screens and map markers, no pointless Hexen-esque backtracking here.

      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.

      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

      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.
