    Happy #PortfolioDay everybody! I'm a professional musician that started making classic Doom maps for fun and ended up working on an actual GZDoom game: Hands of Necromancy 2. Here are some of my oldschool Doom and Heretic maps. #Doom #Heretic #Rietveld #LoversQuarrel

    I just keep on thinking of replaying Hands of Necromancy instead of tackling what's next on the backlog. What a sick game.

    Hands of Necromancy 1 & 2 were updated with fixes, rebalance, map fixes and new options! To play with your old saves, you have to download the previous version of the game, go in "Bêtas" option of the game on steam and choose the version "Legacy_saves".

    If you want something made in GZdoom, I've played Hands of Necromancy a bit and have enjoyed my time with it. Haven't finished it though. Alternatively, Vomitoreum is a short metroidvania style game done in GZdoom as well. It's only about 3 hours long so maybe wait for a sale to pick it up.

    Every game I played in 2024! I have beaten all of them with the exception of Rise of the Ronin and Hands of Necromancy. I’m still working on those going into the new year lol. I played a lot less this past year than previous years. I’m hoping I can do 50% more this year.

    Been playing a lot of Hands of Necromancy II lately and it really slaps. Literally made in an engine from the 90s and plays like a game from the 90s. It’s a “Doom Clone” that just came out. Got it on sale because I was interested in it and I have little regret. I’m loving it.
