Alien Mega Hero Password Reset
Juan Navarro
First of all, I've been very busy with my own personal life the last threeish months, and I have not done much Samsara development within that time frame, except for serious issues. Updating threads is not something I enjoy doing,atleast Doomworld text editor doesn't hurt my eyes, but I'd rather not do it with what little free time I have these days, but nonetheless, I'll update as much as I can.
I do not give a shit if people join our server or not to download our mod. I'd rather people download our mod externally than hop in, download and leave. For future reference, all our wads (except the loader and soundtrack), can always be obtained through Euroboros and TSPG. If you look around archives you could also find older versions, we just take down our copies to encourage people to play the newer versions.
Thirdly, I don't do my business here. I hardly ever check these threads. Especially not these days. If you're lucky I might see any new messages posted here within 3 months. You're just so much better off contacting me through Discord or in our server.
Samsara Reincarnation is a continuation of Samsara out of what used to be Extra Heroes. Samsara Reincarnation is a rebranding to signify a departure from the addon era, full of often broken, useless, or outdated code, and a step forward to making better use of what's available, and continuing the vision of giving new life and admiration to the games presented on this project.

Here's some context: Samsara is a multiplayer 2012 gameplay mod by TerminusEst13 that brought 8 FPS characters altogether in Doom, each one having a trait (e.g. the character Doomguy has a "Damage" trait).
I'm not trying to be negative here, but a little bit of researching would be easy, or understanding the original Samsara by trying it would also be easy.
So that was awesome and I'm barely scratching the surface of this mod. Honestly I find the caco helicopters to be a bit on the weird side but it seemed to work lol. Definitely love the Duke, Quake, Lo Wang and some other classes too. At some point I have to just go hog wild with the enemy randomizer and embrace the total chaos of fighting like 20 different franchises at once. Anyway fantastic work, lots of passion into this mod obviously so it was a pleasure to play it.
