AstroCreep has given us another classic game to run in ECWolf; this time Wolfendoom, by one of the creators of Spear Resurrection and Spear: End of Destiny.
Wolfendoom came out in 2000, and remains one of the more popular Wolf3D mods to rely heavily on DOOM’s source material without straying far from the Wolfenstein formula of gameplay. AReyeP’s mod gives us 60 levels, with sounds and graphics from DOOM to create a very different atmosphere.
This release of course means that thanks to AstroCreep you can now play it on ECWolf, which along with the Wolf4SDL port gives you two ways to play on modern systems!
Edit: The ports have been updated with a small bug fix. Current downloads have been updated.
AstroCreep brings us another classic collection of mods ported to ECWolf, this time the first three Mutantstein games by John Bucksnort and Harry Mass Sr!
The Mutantstein games were released throughout 2000-2001, and were memorable titles in the community’s history. John Bucksnort was renowned in the community for his challenging mods, and his history as a WWII veteran, and status as one of the eldest modders of the community (He started when he was 80!)
The games were originally made in DOS, but have since been ported to both Wolf4SDL and now ECWolf, allowing modern players to experience them without emulators!
It looks like we missed a version here! Vincent is back, and has released a new set of bug-fixes for his Wolf3D editing tools, focused on further improvements to the Map Editor.
If you use his programs to edit almost any games on the Wolf3D engine (Including Operation Body Count!), be sure to send any feedback you have to Vincent so he can continue to make it even better!
Edit: Apologies to BIERGUT for the spelling mistakes.
Halloween v3 is as you would expect, the third iteration of the Hallowein mod made by Biergut (Formerly Colonel Bill) all the way back in 1997!
Where earlier versions utilized hex editing to achieve the changes needed, Beirgut has given the game an overhaul with touched up maps, and features like new bosses, new textures, and other extras.
Much like it’s successors, Hallowein v3 is actually a heavily modified shareware release, and is developed with Wolf4SDL, so it will work without emulation on modern Windows systems!
Samuel Villarreal, one of the people behind the recent Blood remaster ‘Fresh Supply’, posted a tweet where he confirms to be working on a new source port for ‘Rise of the Triad: Dark War’. Also that he is a nerd.
With very few modern ports available for ROTT, it will be nice to have a new and polished way to play the most advanced game developed on the Wolf3D engine!
In the meantime, there are still source ports available to play the game on modern Windows; check out WinRottAPI for one!
Note: On some operating systems, there may be an error with the music (Which is created by Orka himself!). If that’s the case, AstroCreep has created a music patch to fix the problem. Download this and load it alongside the game, and the problem should go away. Also, the music is pretty good.
In a nice little blast of nostalgia, AstroCreep has brought us an unexpected ECWolf port in the form of Gorenstein.
The mod is 19 years old, and AstroCreep himself was just nine years old when he developed it! Compared to his latest work, it is very different, but an interesting piece of his history in modding.
Gorenstein is developed for ECWolf, and also works in LZWolf.
Following issues with the previous update to VSWolfTools, Vincent has released a quick follow-up update to fix those problems, and added the start of proper support for Blake Stone maps.
The programs can edit Blake Stone maps (Though I don’t believe there are text definitions currently included), but cannot yet “create” new ones.
AstroCreep has released an update for his collection of Demolition mods.
The update to Version 3 brings with it a couple of new weapons, and compatibility for both Super Noah’s Ark 3D and MacWolf. Now you can kill more enemies in even more ways!
