New version of Flashpoint is out! Version 9.0, "Glorious Sunset". Get ready for the end of Flash by downloading *all of it* https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/
The Ultimate archive is now 6x the size of the version I downloaded in 2019. I will probably delete that version and download the "Infinity" launcher, since I don't have half a terabyte of disk space to spare at the moment
Undertale content oh my god
I had no idea there was going to be an Undertale alarm clock and...
i mean, there isn't now, b ut... look at this dialogue from it omfg :O
Competing software aesthetics within the "open source" umbrella:
- lean, mean, a joy to use. the dream.
- hosted on sourceforge, hasn't updated in 11 years, except to upgrade Boost every few months.
- "customizability", ie preferences screen a giant hell-salad of every conceivable option.
- zero documentation. codebase totally uncommented. are you cool enough to use this? no.
- completely bespoke UI system that manages to work OK even if it sticks out on your desktop and kinda breaks ur brain.

THE CROCS KNIGHT COMETH
absolutely fuckin cursed thought but I have to share it because god it's making me giggle.
so, crocs
but thigh high crocs, right? Everyone's seen that monstrosity, everyone's aware of it, that's not new. But I got to thinking. Crocs are like... stiff plastic/rubber, right?
...so if thjey were REALLY thigh length boots designed like crocs, you'd have to like... design them like plate armour.
and THERE IT IS
FULL PLATE ARMOUR, BUT CROCS.
Some doodles I drew while practicing drawing cows since I've never drew any @BatElite sorry if it doesnt look completely your oc, I've done it off of memory 😅
Hexen on the other hand? NOW I get why it was so well received. It's a totally different beast to Doom. It's not "Doom but fantasy", it's its own thing, just happening to use a very modified Doom engine. There's far more of a focus on traps and puzzles, there's some absolutely wild detail gone into the levels and atmospherics, an inventory system of sorts, aand using items becomes rather important too for bolstering your attacks.
It's really good stuff, I'm impressed.
Alright so I've played Hexen and Heretic for the first time (aside from years and years ago where I played a demo of hexen and maybe the shareware version of Heretic very briefly and wasn't that impressed with either) and ... dang I was wrong about them.
Heretic is straight up just The Catacomb Abyss but Doomified, so it's understandable I was a bit "meh" about it, but the monster designs are p. cool, and there's some neat touches here and there, environment wise.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
