Your name is Doom Guy, an actor. You've been cast in a cable TV reenactment of 2007's "Knee-Deep In ZDoom". You were never much of a history buff, but it'll put food on the table and help cover Daisy's vet bills. Maybe it'll even revive your acting career. You adjust the prop helmet to breathe a little easier, try out a few cheesy poses with your character's handgun, and ready yourself for the first day of filming.
Welcome back to 2008, everyone! Knee-Deep in KDiZD is here, appearing courtesy of The History Channel. That’s right, it’s 2007’s Knee-Deep in ZDoom, now upgraded for vanilla Doom2.exe.
If you’re not familiar with the original KDiZD, that’s okay and probably normal! (After all, it has been… wow, 15 years?) You can think of KDiKDiZD as a Doom E1 remake with larger maps and a combined focus on atmosphere, exploration, and tougher combat. KDiKDiZD is also packed full of weird mapping tricks and some really dumb jokes.
And yes, it actually runs on DOS if you want.
This has been in the works on-and-off since 2008, and I'm super proud that my nonsense hack project is finally out.
Features:
- Nine KDiZD maps reinterpreted and enhanced with streamlined layout progression, updated visuals, and all-new fight choreography.
- Soundtrack replacement featuring new MIDI arrangements of the original Doom tracks.
- 22 monsters, split between 10 standard types and 12 added ones, featuring a selection of KDiZD monsters and several new to KDiKDiZD.
- Heavily modified palette with 38 added fullbright colors and some other tricks up its sleeve.
- Countless new textures and flats.
- Camera textures to show distant events as they occur.
- Sliding doors, see-through glass floors, warping liquids, advanced lighting effects, forcefields, scripted events, and slopes.
- Compatible with Eternity Engine, DSDA-Doom, Crispy Doom, Chocolate Doom, and DOOM2.EXE.
- Not compatible with true-color rendering or ZDoom-based ports.
