Two questions:

- Are you using some sort of shader or new palette?

- I swear I recognize that sky background -- is it from Castlevania or something?

 

1. I used Pal-Plus by Sigvatr which is a palette mod.

2. I dunno, wad is "D64D2.wad" in Map 12.

And other things that i've loaded are Hellbar (comes with D64D2), PSXDoom.wad (without loading it's .deh), and my old weapon mod.

I beat a record in a random jumpmaze server in zdaemon lmao

I swore I'd never have a need for the original PS1 Doom again after playing PsyDoom. Then I found out Duckstation has achievements for Doom and Final Doom...

Not reflective, but translucent. It’s tropical fruit beverage!

Oh my God these shots, especially with that sky texture have hit some nerves I already forgot I had. Such an insane cityscape, and your use of space is phenomenal!

Do you have a definitely texture set as a source or created something yourself?

Thank you :) Interestingly, the sky is a colour remapped and vertically inverted version of a Mechadon skybox. I wanted to make it feel like the inside of a giant alien god computer, and am quite pleased with the result.

This texture scheme is my own creation, though the assets themselves are mostly from the original public TNT2 resource wad (if memory serves) and the Useful Flats pack from R667.

I'm gonna re-release my psx-style maps for gzdoom/zandronum very soon. Already fixed many bugs

Esselfortium KDIZID shots

Ok... what kind of wizardry is going around in the first screenshot?

How the fuck is possible making reflecting floors in vanilla engine?

For the translucent floors in the second shot and the one used in MAP01 i think to understand there's some mid-textures magic going around with 1 width sizes textures, maybe? I don't know if this is just edited flats, but i can't believe this option.

Crazy map.

Jesus. I am sure if you tried to run this on an old 486 back in the day the CPU would melt. Crazy good.

Me trying to create a fake translucent 3D sector using my own theory of mid-textures magic, but i'm not that magical enough guys.

Also turns into HOM cinematic universe when i test this this thing on chocorenderlimits. test room (doom 2)

Seeing Dario Cassali suffer through TNT Evilution gave me an idea:

Its midtextures, inverted, recolored red, and dithered to give the appearance of fading away, which are bleeding through the floor. It’s ingenious quite frankly.

For an early example of the midtex overdraw trick for reflections, check out https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/deathmatch/m-o/mcfearsm from '96. Nowhere near as good as KDIKDIZD though, the recolouring and dithering really sell it.

Recently experimented with recreating old 3D modeling Doom images as Prefabs, staring with this one from many years ago.
