I know that I sound like a broken record, but I could REALLY use some financial help, so if you have a few bucks laying around, PLEASE consider buying my game, it would mean the world to me!

Alternatively, if you need to hire a programmer, let me know! My DMs are open!

One more map almost done geometry-wise, next step is detailing / more custom textures / things placement. Trying to keep it classic. Aiming it to be the biggest Strife mapset ever made. Ah, custom OST too. #Strife #Doom #screenshotsaturday #retrofps #boomershooter #leveldesign

I really like this shade of blue. Will have to make more custom textures using it. #screenshotsaturday #strife #doom #retro

Finally got around to learning zscript. This tiny robot (who, for now, looks like a recolored sentinel - still working on the model) will sneak up on you, steal your ammo, the dash to safety. Little rascal. #Doom #Strife #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Three maps down on my next Strife project, hopefully out before the end of 2026. Been slowed down a bit by the 'handmade, no AI custom textures' rabbit hole. Planning it to be the largest Strife mapset up to its release. #Doom #retrofps #leveldesign #screenshotsaturday

I guess when Trump is the new standard, anything feels like a golden age.

I don't think Putin and Trump really understand what 'negotiation' means.

Also, work continues on my Strife mapset - up to three maps, probably three more or so to go. Should be done by mid next year I reckon. #Strife #Doom

Genius 'idea' of the day - #Doom maps with Sonic's Star Light Zone textures. Yeah. #retrofps #sonic
