FAQ

So what is this Doomed Again thing ?
Basically, it's a complete remake of the classic Doom games based on the EDGE sourceport. Just read this page (and this one) and you'll know everything there's to know about it.

So it's a fork of EDGE ?
Not really. I do not plan to change the EDGE sourcecode. The DDF files used by EDGE are flexible enough. If you don't know what DDF files are, you should read this.

Do I have to own Doom or Doom 2 to run it ?
Yes. Although all assets from the original games are replaced with brand-new ones, you'll need the official DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD (not the shareware DOOM1.WAD) for legal reasons. As Doomed Again is a remake of ID's intellectual property, it cannot be released as a stand-alone package.

Will it run on Linux ?
Yes. Even the editor, which is written in C#, will run thanks to Mono.

Will it be free ?
Yes. And the editor will be open source.

Will it run on my computer ?
Probably. Any 1Ghz+ CPU and DirectX 9.0 compatible GPU should handle Doomed Again without trouble. Havings lots of video RAM can be useful, though, as there are lots of high-resolution textures to precache. If you have 512 Mb or more, you should be alright.

OMG!!!! This monster/weapon doesn't look exactly like its vanilla Doom counterpart!!!! You suck!!!11!!!
Doomed Again is not a faithful recreation of Doom from scratch (what would be the point?). It's a remake.

Why is the website so ugly?
Because I don't want to spend hours designing a website.

When will it be released?

When it's done.
