intacowetrust Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Download link (see readme inside for how to launch):https://www.mediafire.com/file/yvlxer3jbrah1bu/CalderaOW.zip/file 'Caldera Of Wretchedness' is a single level demo designed specifically for the 'PsyDoom' source port of PlayStation Doom to PC (version 0.8.3 and later). It showcases some of the new features of PsyDoom versus the original PSX Doom engine such as greatly extended limits, Doom 64 style dual colored lighting, Lua scripting for advanced sector actions, Arch-viles and so on. It also features new music, composed in the engine's original tracker format as well as new textures and flats (courtesy of OTEX). The map is intended to be played with PsyDoom 0.8.3 or later, and would probably be considered very challenging to most. Some of the challenging sections can be optionally skipped however, at the loss of some rewards. Hopefully a future PsyDoom update with save functionality might mitigate some of the frustrations of dying. More screenshots: Spoiler Playthrough video (SPOILER ALERT): Spoiler Here is the new music track also, in standalone format and looped once: Spoiler Hope you enjoy! 29 Share this post Link to post
Wavy Posted October 18, 2021 Just launched this up in PsyDoom and god damn this is awsome. Really pushing the engine to its limits. Great stuff! Also, where are the Archvile sounds from? Did you make them? They sound and fit in quite well with the other sounds. 1 Share this post Link to post

Thank you, happy to hear you're liking it thus far! :) 5 minutes ago, Wavy said: Also, where are the Archvile sounds from? Did you make them? They sound and fit in quite well with the other sounds. The Arch-vile sounds are thanks to team GEC of the GEC Master Edition (and other projects) - I think they did a really superb job with them. @Erick194 has a video showcasing the new sounds that they made here: 4 Share this post Link to post
00_Zombie_00 Posted December 1, 2021 I am a big fan of your work, this map is amazing, it has a terrifying atmosphere, along with the great background music. One question, which map editor do you use? I opened this map using ultimate doom buldier, but the map was destroyed. I really want to make maps for PsyDoom. 2 Share this post Link to post

Just to add also some additional documentation for how to mod for PsyDoom can be found here: https://github.com/BodbDearg/PsyDoom/blob/master/docs/PsyDoom Modding Overview.md The PlayStation engine is a bit of a strange beast as you've noticed and the map format is very different, meaning weird corruption and/or crashes when loading in standard Doom tools which are unaware of it. Presently only the GEC fork of Doom Builder (DoomBuilderPSX) can edit PlayStation format maps. 1 Share this post Link to post

quakis Posted January 9 (edited) @intacowetrust Only recently discovered PsyDoom and got it up and running. After being hit by a wave of nostalgia, I then gave this level a spin. Very atmospheric piece of work that captures what makes the ambiance of PSX Doom tick for me. The use of colour especially stood out that helped establish a distinct mood during the earlier cavern and dungeon portions. I'd love to see more works like this. Here's my full review: https://taw.duke4.net/2024/01/doom2/caldera-ow/ Edited January 9 by quakis : typos 3 Share this post Link to post

Helegad Posted June 27 (edited) I'm having a blast with this level so far, but I can't progress. I seem to be missing some stairs. I've double-checked for any switch around that might make them appear but haven't found anything. Wondering if this might be a bug? EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out -- had to hit the jump pads at speed. I really enjoyed Caldera of Wretchedness. Here's hoping a PsyDoom megaWAD will drop one day.
