TurokDooM: Legacy of the Fireseeds demo release

[DrDoctor]

TurokDooM : Legacy of the Fireseeds (tentative title) is a modification for DooM 2, geared towards the GZDooM Engine. This mod is built upon the original TurokDooM mod made by Murden64 in 2008-09 for Skulltag. This current mod is a total overhaul incorporating content pulled from the Turoks 1,2 3, Rage Wars, and Evolution.

 

I’m releasing a working demo for this Turok TC for GZDooM. After 2-ish years of development and nearly losing all work in a hard drive failure and a 3-year period of personal turmoil. By chance I recovered a build from my old hard drive. Some work was lost and had to be remade.

Features:

·        Fully 3d content taken from the Turok games and from other sources.

·        Level 1’s main path is completable with a lot of secret areas.

·        The Hub and other maps… exist but are in a rudimentary state. The current build of Level 3 is fairly large with plenty of things to see and do, but the map has no actual ending as of now.

·        Lotsa Weapons, some with alternate fires or can use special secondary ammo.

·        Lotsa Enemies, some with special behaviors like running away when taking too much damage.

I’m also releasing several workfiles for modders to play around with. Most of these files are 3d meshes and animations that I could salvage from my old hard drive. Also includes content not actually used in the demo build.

Included as well is an Author’s Blueprint document that thoroughly details what my vision for the completed version of this mod would be. Unfortunately, my current career takes too much of my time for me to continue development of this mod further other than adding some more 3D meshes or adding small updates to resources. The AB really now exists as a general guideline for any modder(s) to pick up from where I left off.

 

Current demo build: 5.19.24

Damn, I would've loved to see this finished; this looks better than anything that came after Turok 2.

Got bored, so I attempted topical memery.

But in all seriousness, does anyone know to import .car files from the Carnivores games into Blender? There's some assets in those I'd like to get?

I haven't seen that problem, you might want to check your GZDoom settings, or you might have downloaded the older version while I was uploading the update.

Welp, this is going on the list of "Wads i'm going to make a play through on"

[Teivman]

the last thing I would've expected to hear was a Turok styled cover of the Isle of the Dead theme. 
That really gave me some whiplash, excellent TC btw.

Not really an update. but I've managed to find the enhanced Turok 2 Adon model I made before scrapping it for the custom Tk3 Model. Unfortunately, it's just the T-posed obj. and not the rigged mesh, that's probably lost forever, though someone could append the rig from the Tk3 version.
It's found under TurokDooM_Workfiles/NPCs/unused/T2Adon
