The story will take place in post-world-war III Bohemia. I would not reveal much of it, since it's still in progress. I have created a rough concept of a story and complete concept of a world.
Rough story sketch:
There was a great war. Noone knows who started it, and it doesn't matter. The atomic war was not so bad as everyone expected. Some places were not so badly destoyed, like the Bohemian lands, People emerged from their shelters and begun a new life, again. And with people returned greed and power struggle. One of the many power groups are the rangers. The so-called guardians of peace. The player will be a ranger, send to inspect why the main base does not respond to radio calls. During his yourney he will encounter many mutated creatures, as well as many friendly npc's and vendors. But this is only rough sketch and could be changed in the future.
Progress:
I'm planning to create total conversion, with many new acs driven mechanis. I'm skilled in drawing sprites and I have lately learned how to create voxel modesl, so I'm making completely new voxel based props. But the work is little bit overwhleming, so if anyone would volunteer, I would be happy.
I have yet created one map as finished, and one maps is in progress. I'm planning to have at least 20 maps, with various size.
I have already created a new weapon set, with weapons downloaded from realm667, and also created two new weapons myself. For the items, I have downloaded and modified some new inventory based items - mainly new healing items and ammo items. The weapons have reaload states.
For immersion, I have implemented USDF based dialogues for conversations and terminal interaction. The USDF is pretty easy to use, so it could be used in many ways.
Download is not yet planned, since it is in very early alpha state. I have the sources stripped in many files, so I have to pack the resources first before the release. So please don't ask, it is very early state. But if anyone wants to try, I can pack it and you can try it in gzdoom builder.
And also because I'm from czech, I developing it in czech language. The release will be translated into english, but only the dialogues. The graphics will be still in czech. The story takes place in czech, so the signs, ets. will be in czech. Sorry, we don't speak english here. The stalker series had sign in cyrillic, so czech in latin script is more easy to read and translate

WIP Might and Magic DOOM
OVERVIEW
Might & Magic games (VI-VII-VIII) got a lot of resources that are pretty compatible with DOOM in general, it just takes a little bit of work to make them usable. I always loved both DOOM and M&M series and that is my attempt to give another breath to the art that is otherwise collecting dust. The idea of this project is to make an easy to use pack with the resources from the original games, not just a simple dump but a complete package with everything scripted and working to resemble the original as much as possible.
As for now I only worked with the resources from M&M VII for the most part, it is definitely possible to merge everything from VI to VIII into one package, however there are around 1000 textures already and adding more would make it unnecessary cluttered and will bring up issues regarding aesthetics since the games are a bit different design-wise.
The state of the project is "proof of concept", with the intent to evolve it into something bigger in future.
The archive contains:
- 18 Monsters scripted with DECORATE in attempt to resemble the vanilla Doom monsters in behavior
- A set of high resolution (128x256) wall textures (around 1k in total). All of them are scaled down using TEXTURES lump
- Terrain tiles (Dirt (+Road), Grass, Snow, Desert, Badlands, Shore, Swamp)
- A lot of misc actors such as trees, flowers, bushes, rocks, torches and etc with the entries in GLDEFS and DECORATE
- Ambient sounds
preview of wall textures included in the archive (zoomable)
mini version here

Requires GZDoom and is completely based on it.
Everything Doom related including the test map was made using solely SLADE.
SpriteShadow by Nash is included in the archive and works more or less as intended.
Monsters have "replaces" flag so the original Doom 2 maps should be playable.
GOALS
LINKS
- Alter behavior of the monsters to make it resemble the original patterns (from MM7)

- Finish my map
- Add more ambient sounds
- Alter UI
- Finish the documentation

Hocusdoom BETA (new version 09-23-18)
Does anybody remember the classic game Hocus Pocus? It was an old sidescrolling platform game made by Apogee in 1994.
What would happen if Hocus Pocus was a fps like Doom, rather than a sidescroller? Inquiring minds wanted to know! Hocusdoom is a Total Conversion for Doom 2 that attempts to bring Hocus into the third dimension in a dazzling new adventure!

[===== Download: =====]
Requires the latest stable version of GzDoom and Doom 2.
Be careful using unstable devbuilds, as obviously they may not always work.

[===== Features: =====]
Hocusdoom will have relatively the same features as the original Hocus Pocus. You complete maps by collecting all available crystals. However, you can also find red crystals that let you warp to secret maps at the end of the level. You are awarded points for finding treasure, killing enemies, and completing each map within a time limit. At the end of every episode your highest score will be recorded.
Powerups:
Rapid Fire - Fire a long continuous stream of shots lightning-fast. Lasts for 30 seconds and doesn't use extra shot ammo.
Flamethrower - Fire a short-range stream of fire that leaves smoldering ground. Incredibly powerful and rare! Lasts for 30 seconds and doesn't use extra shot ammo.
Extra Lightning Bolt - Lets you fire lightning bolts faster. Your shots slowly recharge, but charge faster if you hit enemies.
Twin Shot - Shoot two bolts at one time. Gives 40 shots per bottle.
Splitter Shot - Shoot three bolts in a spread pattern. Gives 30 shots per bottle.
Laser Shot - Shoots a beam of lightning that pierces through enemies. Gives 20 shots per bottle.
Power Shot - Shoots a single large ball of energy that splits into smaller shots. Devestating against single enemies and tight groups. Gives 20 shots per bottle.
Fireball - Gives 3 shots that will obliterate and pass through any baddie. Bosses are a bit tougher but will still go through them!
Power Wand - Special secondary weapon that is incredibly powerful, but ammo is limited! Make short work of those monsters! This weapon destroys itself when you run out of ammo.
Jump Potion - Lets you jump super high. Only useable once.
Teleport Bottle - Warps you to another area of the map. Only useable once.
Treasure:
Along the way to find those crystals you'll grab treasure to get the top score!
Ruby - 100 points
Diamond - 250 points
Goblet - 500 points
Opal - 750 points
Emerald - 750 points
Crown - 1000 points
Ankh - 1500 points
Other types of secret treasure await, worth much more. Happy hunting!
[===== Help Needed: =====]
While I don't mind doing most everything by myself, there is one thing I could use help with--enemy sprites. I can use the original sprites for side views, but I need front and back views for them. If anyone would like to help, I'll provide a spritesheet that you can use as a base, to keep everything consistent.
Edit: As of 2017 I have 3/5 of the sprites done, however many still remain. If you still wish to help, please let me know!

Deep Rising - Doom II story-driven TC
Yes, I am making a new mod, my second to be honest. First there was LC which I cancelled, then Tyskie Islands which you can see and download here:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=57243
And thus I thought it's time to make a new one! Introducing Deep Rising, a TC based on such classic games as BioShock, Far Cry 1 and Half-Life 1, this mod will put you in the shoes of an agent sent to investigate an underwater base which does research on mysterious ruins of what seems to be Atlantis.
The problem appears when a terrorist group known only as the N.W.S appears and kills all the staff , searching for the ruins. You and the only survivor - a security guard contacting you through a walkie talkie - are the only ones that can stop them from reaching the ancient mystery.
But the ruins might not be that abandoned after all...
What this mod will be:
I plan on making the mod medium-to-long in terms of playtime, with multiple puzzles, various enemies including humans, robots, and even supernatural creatures such as zombies. I want this mod to be a good experience for both novice and expert Doom players.
The mod's atmosphere will be a mixture of Half-Life, first Far Cry, and of course old underwater horror/action flicks.
I plan on including various particles and ambient noises, reloading, power-ups and lots of other stuff. Music will mostly be composed of ambience.
Date of release:
Not quite sure yet. This mod is in works since september of last year, and it's still in works. I am putting all the effort I can into it, and any help is welcome.
So overall tell me what you think, and is it overall good-looking as of now? Would anyone want to see a beta version once I'll finish two first levels to play?
