Shrine

This is one of the first comments/reviews I've ever left on any game. Found you through a Mohrta trailer on my YT front page yesterday and I decided to look at your other works out of curiosity.

I haven't played Doom since I was a kid although I thoroughly enjoy Quake, but they seem distinct/independent enough from each other in my head. The aesthetic of not only this game, but everything else you've worked on too, is amazing and the level design was so good! For someone more experienced, this game might be easier but for me it was a thorough drag through hell itself. Genuinely harder than the Soulsborne series to the point where it took me 8 hours on and off from start to finish and a few meltdowns.

I'm proud to say that I ran through it in one day and I think it's safe to say you've earned yourself a new dedicated fan! Fucking christ I am BEYOND EXCITED to go through the rest of your catalogue over the coming months!

hey i was working on making your gzdoom packs work together nicely and thought id give a response here.

it seems that lycanthorn, lycanthorn2, and vomitoreum are using the same ipk3 structure as shrine.  shrine 2 uses a different structure but its all fundamentally the same. (config)

also it seems your gzdoom is 149mb which i suppose includes all the libraries, where as gzdoom official v4.5.0 is only 14mb possibly relying on the system libraries. (dynamic vs static linked libraries)

i can understand why you'd package them all for compatibility sake, but libjpeg.so and libzmusiclite.so arent required in those cases. (or atleast in my case)

so first of all we can remove the included gzdoom's "game_support.pk3" because it only points to regular doom game wads.

next you dont need gzdoom's soundfont because your games arent using midi (gzdoom.sf2)

some slight tweaking to your file names and repacking a new iwadinfo.txt into all of your ipk3 and we get some fancy compatibility in one single directory:

anyhow this is a pretty long topic, will just say i modified a few things to all work from one directory with one single launcher

awesome gzdoom project look forward to your newest creations

First of all, this is amazing work. Second of all, you just introduced me to the world of Doom mods and I had no idea how amazing they could be! Thank you scumhead!

hi! is does this game support gamepad?

Hey, just wanted to tell ya that i loved the game. First off the graphics were AMAZING, that artwork was really really good. Most games of this type use a dark look which makes games look very dull, but you managed to both give the game a dark look that while keeping it bright looking and "pretty". Seriously these graphics of yours are just stunning. i rate it  10 shotgun shell /10 monster thingies. Plus the Violet-ish colour of the weapons was an epic touch. Made it seem it had an alien-monsterish feel to it

Gosh, the 60 FPS doom-like gameplay is all that i needed. Gameplay is epic...just pefect. The Monster design is gorgeous.  Especially those early monsters with the glowy eyes. 

Level design is amazing. What i really liked was the fact that i never felt clostrophobhic in it. I felt i could move alot, especially in the early cave mission.

Weapons are awwwesomeee, although i could use a bit more of a bigger "shot" animation after firing a shell. sound design is grest too. Love the sound of em guns and the monsters.

This game is seriously Whoa. Like Whoa, who's that hot Gal walking down the streat level "Whoa", only this hot gal comes with a handbag filled witha all the mosters from hell that  i need to send back. I really really hope you keep devoloping this,you know make more levels and stuff. I heard you're also plannibg a sequel(PLEASE DONT CHANGE THE ARTSTYLE), So all the best for that ! 

Kudos to you stranger, you just made everything i would ever want from a doom style shooter.

Thank you so much for this game. I hope it becomes super famous. I told a few of me pals about too.

scumhead, if you release the chapter II of the game on itch.io and steam, man that would be awesome!

dude this game was very fun to play! i finally completed the game, i loved the map designs, weapons, and enemies, are you planning to make another game?

Will it ever be updated? Just asking cause I won't play it unless it is fully finished.

Wow, do you remember me? I asked you that how I need to activate the mod to play the game, you released the game on itch.io!! That's awesome

looks *really* interesting. Say... How long is the game?
