Brutal Doom Hud

[Granville Turley]

Indevelopment since 2010, the 18th Cacoward winner and Moddb 2012 MOTY Editors Choice of Creativity Award Brtal Doom takes Doom into a whole new level. It makes the game much more violent than before. There's much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, and much more.

The whole world becomes more real and interactive.You can kick severed limbs and heads (and sometimes, use it to activate some traps in the map earlier, or even kick them against enemies to do some damage), you can shoot enemies' heads to deal more damage (and cause more gruesome deaths) you can destroy most things in the the scenario (trees, lamps, hanging bodies, etc), you can paint the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling with blood, you can push the explosive barrels to make traps, or grab them and use like an explosive weapon, you can silently take down enemies from behind and perform stealth kills, the chainsaw actually cuts the enemies in two. When you find the berserk pack and get super strength, you can perform cinematic executions and RIP AND TEAR your foes with your bare hands. Some enemies will scream in anguish and try to crawl away when near death, and they can be used as human shields, and much, much more.

Everything in Brutal Doom is extremely intense. Everything sounds louder, looks bigger, moves faster, and hits harder. You can even fell the impact of explosions. Enemies are harder and smarter, and weapons and explosions are much louder. Your weapons have been upgraded to a deadly arsenal, completely throwing the vanilla Doom's "progressive weapon system" through the window. Every weapon is powerful and have it's pros and cons, a a weapon will never be outclassed when you find a new weapon, but only find a different use for different situations, making Brutal Doom more balanced and more strategic than Vanilla gameplay. You have new abilities too. With any weapon selected, you can press Q (default bind) to kick enemies at close range and send them away. Every new feature and weapon is cautiously balanced, and added in a way that makes sense in the universe of Doom. Many of the features can also be disabled/enabled to provide the best personal experience possible.

Brtal Doom will make the good an old Doom have a new and fresh look. It will give you a reason to play all the Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom levels again. This mod also works with almost every megawad and map pack around. Take a breath, and prepare to RIP AND TEAR HUGE GUTS!!!!!

Also now featuring Horde Mode. A still in development but fully playable mode that pits you into an arena against several waves of enemies and a boss battle at the end. Supplies are limited, and new parts of the arena opens as you finish off waves. Sometimes you have extra conditions like fighting alongside friendly marines, using turrets, and vehicles are also planned too.

Currently there are 3 maps avaiable.

What you waiting for? Check the downloads section.

Watch the dev diary bellow to see more details.

I have idea! What if purists player would have classic version sprites (thirdperson) like in smooth doom or complex doom, where standard one but different weapons. This would cool, i hope it's not hard.

For those who don't know, version 3.7 has just been released! It fixes many issues, it can be downloaded on the Discord server for Brutal Doom. I don't know why they don't update here, here is the link to the Discord page: Discord.com

Reporting a bug, or to be more precise a game crash. On Doom 2 the level Blood Citadel, that comes after Hellgate, does not load. And instead it gives me error via console command, saying that: "Unable to open map PSmap17". Which means that I can't continue playing. So yeah, fix that!

I've been asking a few questions around the forums recently, and after some research I stumbled across brutal doom. Is there a way to make and edit levels for the brutal doom mod, just like we can for doom and doom 2?

Dunno, I don't play the mod. I see no reason why it shouldn't though.

I just realised though, you could also just make a normal map in whatever format (still using either of those programs) and test it only with brutal doom since I guess that would amount to the same thing, without use of resources.

Looks like I've got some testing to do tonight. I wanna make a chapter of 9 levels. Already got 1 down, but I'm still trying to decide which version of doom i want to use along with setting rules and whatnot to my map making.

Brutal Doom isn't something SO special, that everything that's not Brutal Doom wont work. Brutal Doom is a GAMEPLAY mod, not a MAP mod.

Say, you made a map for vanilla Doom II, and load it with Brutal Doom... It. Works. Fine. It depends on you whether the map...suits

Maps and gameplay are two elements of Doom. They both can run with each other no matter what.

So... Your answer?

A normal Doom editor, like Slade, DoomBuilder and etc.

Remember: GAMEPLAY MOD. Any map can have that gameplay and any gameplay can be in any map.

NOTE: unless you are talking about editing the game logic of Brutal Doom, Then at least try Slade.

See RayZik? Same thing he's/she's saying.

PS- Yes. Brutal Doom maps are just plain Doom maps. Literally

I wonder why Brutal Doom is so special. I must admit it's hilarious (just like John Romero said during the interview with IGN), but it's just another gameplay mod for Doom; It's not a standalone game. Why do you need Brutal Doom editor while you can create a level for brutal doom with conventional level editors?

Are the levels exclusively for Brutal Doom stand out? I don't think so.

Sure it does. By design any Doom Builder use any .wad\.pk3 as resource package. So then, if you'll try to test your selfmade level with Brutal Doom it will work. BUT, only if you starting it with correct port (GZDoom\Zandronum)

Hmm, i think Chezza can help you with what you're trying to do, btw this may interest you: -mods/74477-operation-uac-seeking-feedback/

Also Sgt.Mark IV is creating a megawad that will make use of Brutal Doom.

You need to use Brutal Doom Builder, which is the only editor that supports the Brutal WAD format. Then you can run your map in GZBrutalDoom. You will need the official Brutal Keyboard and Brutal Mouse to play, though.

SpoilerThat's a joke!

As many already stated, Brutal Doom is a game mod. It piggybacks off current assets and adds its own alterations and additions. It doesn't have a dedicated builder however existing builders can be used and tested immediately via the builder (testing the map directly through the builder will cause anomalies but don't be alarmed, it will work perfectly when launched correctly).

I strongly recommend GZBuilder (as editor) and Zandronum (as sourceport) like I am. Just be aware that once you make a map dedicated to a Brutal Doom using any other BD version or Doom sourceport will likely break the balancing and any triggers. My current project is strictly BD v19, using v20 or ZDoom / GZDoom will cause strange behavior and some half broken triggers. Any sourceport designed for vanilla Doom probably can't even load it, therefore limiting your audience to a niche (in the doom world parts anyway).

Title makes me think of a version of doom builder that creates blood splats everywhere you click, and every time you delete something from the map it blows up. Meanwhile, the dialogue bar at the bottom left keeps telling the mapper to go fuck himself in all caps.

There are those who like it, those who dismiss it, those who dislike it. I personally enjoy BD, the bigger gun selection and glory kills are very satisfying. Although i have heard people say it strays too far from the Doom formula or it tries too hard to be edgy due to the insane amounts of blood and gore. Everyone has their own opinion, however i was under the impression that's why we're here, for the blood and gore?

I'm definitely not here for blood and gore. I have nothing against brutal doom. Although that "go fuck yourself!" emoticon is the lamest, cringiest shit and I know the slayer wouldn't be that guy in a million years.

Doom is pretty much perfect as it is. I like the iconic weapon load-out. Even the SSG almost walked the line of being just too much - but it's still great. I like the sci-fi hellscapes. Idtech1 looks terrible modelling IRL, but incredible modelling colorful purgatories.
