Gzdoom vs doomsday full#

This is a nice thought, but I honestly dont see zdoom becoming a standard for *general* heretic runs until it can 1: at least maintain demo compatibility with other ports and 2: present a level playing field for runners among other ports. Because ZDoom 2.8.1 has Heretic support, it could be used in this manner. Custom demo-focused ports of ZDoom 2.8.1 when? )Īnother user case might be the Heretic running community, by and so on.

Who knows, but i can't wait to see what people do with this.

Perhaps they are not yet aware of ZDoom's full feature set that way, or even the sheer fact its discontinued and the last version is slowly becoming a standard? Finding another use for the discontinued port is promising prospect, and i am eager to see if people will take up on it. Surprisingly the idea of seeing ZDoom in this capacity is an exciting thing. Perhaps a merger of the best bits of PrBoom and ZDoom 2.8.1 could be considered - PrZDoom, anyone? )Īnother user case might be the Heretic running community, by and so on. Users that now rely on PrBoom+ or use a custom made variant of it should now have an additional tool to study upon. This could mean something significant for the more obvious Doom cases but also others: Reason being that its now a fixed platform of some sorts. ZDoom has been used in that community for some time already as you know. That's an interesting highlight, and what says - ZDoom 2.8.1 could be an ideal starting point for demo coders and runners.

Zdoom 2.8.1 has also become the only version or port in the zdoom family of ports that is at all sane to speedrun or make demos with due to its demo support finally being stable from being discontinued, so maybe there are some reasons to still use zdoom over gzdoom p
