He found the H-Doom room...
oh no that's in the game
The goon cave
Cringiest doom mod
Since this game does alot of environmental storytelling...i wonder who owned that room
COOM
Phantom Fury really showed up by Selaco. But I get the feeling Shelly would be happy to see the amount of carnage Dawn is causing
Ion Fury is the game it should be compared to, 10x better and highly recommended too. Just pretend Phantom doesn't exist.
@@kommodore6691 precisely why I think Shelly would be happy to see Selaco doing well
Shelly deserved way better than Phantom Fury.
Honestly I'd love to see a sequel to Aftershock that has an actual crossover with Dawn from Selaco in it... not like that half-baked one with John Blade in PF. John Blade deserved better as well.
@@Chozo_Ghost amen.
As the big man himself said, "Score!"
@@Chozo_Ghost didn't hyped Phantom Fury after i saw Johnny Blade, i knew it was going to be bad.
Trepang and Selaco keep the flag flying
Yo, Dawg. We heard you like Doom. So we put some Doomba in your Roomba, so now you can Doom DoomDoom Doom while you cleaning yo room
Oh my god please tell me they added that fucking claymore roomba
@@kraja15 i have yet to find it myself. but if they did, Selaco truly would be the First Person of all time
Holy shit, Teddy11. That slayed me.
What's the reference
@@pendantblade6361 Its a refrence to the boomer shooter youtuber Civie 11. Lots of Doom/Duke Nukem games refrence him a lot.
@@gretelmkii5215 he was also in Postal 4 as the main c rack dealer XD
I'm very glad to hear about it having quiet moments
I was working away and not prepared for an exploding toilet to shatter my focus. 10/10 moment!
The ULTIMATE Doom Mod Madness!
7:35 I still can't believe they made Civvie 11 into an ammo type.
“This is how it’s done” yeah 3D Realms, what he said!
One thing I'm still on the fence about: performance. GZDoom is not all that well optimised, and with so many visual flourishes and effects and systems going on, I'm a bit afraid that my laptop will NOT be able to run this at acceptable frames.
I have a 1050 ti and an i7 3770k and it's generally 60+ on medium with extra flair turned on.
There are a LOT of graphic and video options to tweak too, so I have no doubt it can run well on even older/less powerful specs.
@@SyrupBuccaneer Oh awesome! Gonna give this a shot then! Ty for the info!
they did a lot of under the hood changes in GZDoom and it runs pretty much perfect on my machine. Meanwhile lots of other GZDoom things run much worse for me lol
It will always drop when there's 9000 Particle/Smoke Effects even if you have a 6950XT like me. I have it on Ultra 4K Full Sliders but honestly the Sound and Gunplay is the Best Part of this Game. They really worked on this unlike the Phantom Fury Hacks. There are also Loading Asset FPS Drops which aren't related to your System's Raw Power as well as the Autosave FPS Drops and i'm using Expensive Nvme. Shader Cache or Memory Related Shit sometimes. You have to know the Source, it's not always just because you have a 5000$ or 1$ GPU. The worst Piece of Shit Games developed in Modern Era usually put all the Tax on the CPU only and use 1 Core. Japanese Game Ports were always infamous for that. Unity Shitgine also rapes your CPU to Death.
I was on the exact same situation when I started playing, and I tell you: If there's an explosion or something that blasts a ton of effects at once, it WILL FREEZE the game. (At least for me on my Acer Aspire 3 with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250U)
However, when there's nothing blowing up, it'll keep a nice 80-120 FPS on smaller maps. If you haven't tried it yet, be wary of those hard freezes - Especially on high difficulties, you will get melted by the bots before your game decides to give you a chance.
Pro Tip from a fellow Shitbox Computer user: Go to the settings screen and set the Decals' configuration to OFF. Your game might still freeze with an explosion or a ton of effects, but it'll happen FAR LESS often that even on the lowest setting that is still On. You can also abuse the Pause button to keep some situational awareness even while the game is freezing.
"It's all fun and games until Teddy11 gets angry"
Unexpected Civvie cameo made me wheeze, I didn't know he was in this one
Ugh, damn you Icarus! I am trying to avoid Early Access. Fine, here is my wallet.
Oh my god you are right! Phantom Fury and Selaco indeed have an eerily similar artstyles! I don't know why I didn't notice this.
Civvie be fartin ngl
Not sure if you found this in the options menu but you can turn on ADS instead of the slight zoom you get with right click.
From the little I’ve seen of this game, the interactive ability and secrets remind me of Nightmare Reaper. I absolutely loved Nightmare Reaper, so I’m definitely checking this out.
Surprised GZDoom didn't outright implode with all these features. Thanks Graf I guess?
the Selaco team did a lot of engine changes themselves, so don't thank Graf lol. GZDoom is still super unoptimized and runs like shit normally.
could it still be used as a sourceport or is it nailed down for that game?@@kay_luhb
Now if only this game would actually, you know...come out.
It's out now.
@@Caligari87 Early Access doesn't count.
@@DarkElfDiva you're more than welcome to wait until the game hits 1.0, they said in their Steam page the price won't change once they hit 1.0. So you'll be fine to wait until all three chapters are out
@@DarkElfDivaIt has a full 30 level campaign. the rest of the chapters are gonna be free expansion packs according to the games FAQ
Well this is pretty much feature complete and story complete, so download it now and go nuts
The toilet exploding animation makes me laugh like a maniac! That's what I call devs going above and beyond!
Wooh Civvie!
Engaging comment
You said it. Selaco is pretty much Phantom Fury but done competently.
Mods are already here, I see I'll have to replay it as soon as I finish the first playthrough
Now let's see how this brings my Steam Deck to its knees.
Let's get it onto consoles!
A shame about the lack of storytelling because I was enjoying the gameplay of the demo. But I'm really tired of games where you only know what is going on when you read every log and hidden texts in the game.
i'd never have any expectations for a deep story from a old school style fps tho, especially a GZDoom game. My expectations would be for good level design, good secrets, and good feeling guns, which this seems to have.
@@jgalla5549 It's not that I need a deep story, a simple straightforward one can be good too.
It's when a game clearly has one, but refuses to tell you without going through hoops that I get annoyed.
It would have been better if there wasn't a story.
@@LupusGr3yAn alien army killed your pet rabbit.
just wait for ashes hard reset to release on June 10th tomorrow as of me writing this if you want a more immersive story. Tis a full on remake of episodes 1 and 2 plus and all new prequel campaign to it as well.
dont let doom's retro look fool you. the gzdoom engine has the potential to do amazing things, we havent seen its full potential yet.
I hoped this would be a complete release... well, I guess my backlog can keep me busy for a while more
Ah, I just wish it had deathmatch or co-op. Its a shame more of these don't.
Phantom Fury walked so Selahco can run
🔥🔥🔥
Hype
😎👍
My favourite part was when Jane Selaco said "It's Selaco Time!" and Selaco'ed all over the place.
I understand why people compare Selaco to Half-Life, but I have a feeling that it trying to be more a Monolith shooter. Not only F.E.A.R., but also No One Lives Forever and Aliens vs Predator 2.
I got both Phantom and Selaco, Selaco is the better game.
Phantom Fury? I'm sorry for your Loss.
How does it compare in girthiness to the first chapter of Cultic?
Thicc
15 hours in and i still think I got 3 levels to go. Surprised they released into early access as it's more complete than some full games that come out these days.
@@ICARUSLIV3S I see... well, I'm going to hold out a little while longer anyway. Elden Ring DLC is what my gaming money is going to be spent on this month.
Is this a Doom mod or its own game?
nice KIRKCOLLECTS
Did it finally fully release?
Oh wow, yet another reskinned version of BrutalDoom.
2 things make it a no go for me: the red overlays on what is otherwise a perfectly fine targeting reticle, obscuring it, and the god awful overdone smoke effects obscuring the enemies.😢
The Smoke is part of the Core Gameplay Difficulty so you just can't camp shit forever like the typical Baby Aim Assist Console Shooter. That's why there's no Aim from Cover Mechanic either and the A.I. circles you all the Time. It's a Dash, Cover and Shoot Tactical Game.
its perfectly fine. Sucks compared to F.E.A.R.
No multiplayer or coop, like ever other new retro shooter.
GZDoom uses the same multiplayer setup as classic Doom from 1993, which isn't really suitable for modern multiplayer expectations. A different engine would be necessary.
@@Caligari87 Yet it runs fine and modders have been able to use it no problem.
@@ramdom_assortment go play a game of multiplayer using GZDoom with 2+ people and then tell me with a straight face that's the experience you want customers to have for a paid product in 2024.
@@ramdom_assortment Have they? AFAICT most Doom mods that are built for multiplayer use Zandronum, not GZDoom.
Talking only from demo, I found this game rather boring. The weird mix of ADHD-combat and very bland enemies and samey environments, it didn't really ring very immersive. Hope the full chapter is better.
i got that exact impression just from looking at it
hot take: i like "video game level 1" abstract level design., i don't like these generic "realistic" places. specially this same aesthetic again with the neon cyberpunk narrow office halls fighting humanoid enemies with boring "military style" hitscan weapons yet again. this looks like another ion maiden to me (ion fury? heck was it renamed AGAIN to phantom fury?). seems very well made but idk i don't feel like playing it. i'd rather be in fantastical places fighting fantastical monsters with fantastical weapons.
I completely agree
generic in every way. it's boring to watch, it wouldn't be interesting to anyone if it wasn't made in gzdoom
i wanted to like it but the demo kinda sucked. too fucking hard and mazy.
I hate being a buzzkill, but I really could care less how impressive it is that this can run on gzdoom. How is this better than just using Unity or some other modern engine? I can see why you'd use Gzdoom for actuall Doom or Heretic clones but for anything that's going for an even remotely modern look you'd be better off using something else. This game looks like a clumsy middle ground without the benefits of either.
Didn't work so well for Phantom Fury tbh.
I do think people put too much emphasis on the engine stuff (because let's face it- I play way too much DOOM myself and my jaw drops to the floor when I see sliding doors and so does Icarus sometimes I reckon) but I don't think it compromises on visuals. I would imagine using GZDoom cut them a lot of the hassle during level design and programming.
Speaking as someone who builds games in Unity but also has a history of modding Doom and Duke, Let me help clarify this for you.
Had they created this game in Unity, they would currently not have as much that was playable and ready now.
The developers were already familiar with using GZDoom, so they saved a lot of time that would have been spent learning the new engine.
GZDoom already provided the base gameplay elements, so they saved a lot of time that would have been spent creating these.
GZDoom already has been thoroughly tested and debugged, so they saved a lot of time with debugging all the elements they added into the game.
DoomBuilder is a simple and flexible level builder with an intuitive 2D-based interface that makes 90% of a level's design easy to create, test, and iterate, so they saved a lot of time with building the levels.
And had they gone with a newer engine the advantage would be... Well, it would be easier to port the game to consoles. And that's it. There is really no other advantage they could have gained from making a game like this within Unity. Everything you see here could have been made in Unity, but it would have taken longer to get to this point. And there's really nothing that this games lacks that could have been improved by using Unity. Unless you just really want to play it on your PS5, I suppose.
To give some more details to my earlier post, let me describe some of what I go through as a Unity developer.
Just earlier this year I started putting together a retro-style FPS to test an idea I had. When I first opened up Unity, I had no pre-existing code to use for my gameplay. I had to build (from the ground up) things like how to have a character move, how to have a character not move through walls or floors. And even once that was done, I had the camera running incredibly jittery whenever I turned. Now I've been working with Unity for several years now, so I understood these things and it wasn't hard. But I know full well how time consuming it was to learn these basic elements back when I was new, and how easy it was to miss simple things that I didn't understand.
But on the other hand, when I try to make a Doom mod, the game already runs. I literally already have a working FPS with everything I need, and I can right away start making levels, textures, sprites, etc.
Now you might point out that you can get templates and packages form the Asset Store, so rather than building something from scratch I can get a basic FPS put into my Unity game right from the get-go. Yes this is true, and I have used such assets before. But many of these pre-made systems don't work "exactly" the way you want them, and require tooling, learning, and modding to get right. And sure, the same could be said of GZDoom, but I promise you that GZDoom has FAR more community support and documentation than you will get from ANY asset on the asset store. If something you get from the Asset Store doesn't work out-of-the-box exactly the way you want, half the time it is actually easier to build the thing from the ground up so you have direct control over it. (Assuming you have the programming ability to do so.)
And even when you do get an asset that works the way you want, it won't be a complete game. You will need to get other assets to complete the system. You don't just need a FPS controller, you need enemies with enemy AI, you need weapon pickups and inventory management, you need weapon systems, you need menus and UI, and you need a system to save your game, you need need a way to retain persistent changes to your levels when you change scenes, and the list just goes on.
Yes you can buy all these from the asset store, but they are not all guaranteed to work well with each other. I have a particular project that I built extensively using assets I purchased from the store, and as I put them all together, things would break. There were scripts that tried to stablish namespaces that were already used by other assets, and even by loading in something that was just a 3D model I could have it cause a conflict with another asset because it came with additional scripts or shaders that didn't play nice with what I already had. I can't even fathom what kind of problems I could have with save files and inventory systems if I hadn't decided to build those things myself.
Buying all your packages from the Asset Store can easily result in spending a LOT of time debugging and fixing things, all just to get a system that works maybe sort-of like what you really want.
But if I pick up GZDoom, all that stuff already works and works together. All those systems already function in GZDoom. and the expansions that they added, like sliding and more complex inventory and all such things, well they've already been done too, and in the Doom modding community there are plenty of people who know how to do those things that can help you implement them.
Good luck finding someone who knows how to get two systems made by completely different people to work together.
And it's also worth pointing out that Unity (and especially Unreal) is a real pain to use if you want something that looks like this. If you want to have sprite-based weapons and enemies in a 3D world, yes it is possible, but boy howdy it ain't easy. You have to build all kinds of things from scratch, and accept a laundry list of concessions you have to make that just won't work right without taking a performance hit. I speak from experience. So if you wanted to build a game like this in Unity or Unreal, you're going to be better off using actual 3D models for everything, which changes the aesthetic, requires different artistry (and possibly a different team of artists,) and ultimately creates a different vibe. It may not necessarily be a bad thing, but it might not be exactly what you want to make, and may not be what your team is good at. If you wanted a game to look exactly like Selaco, it will work better with GZDoom than with Unity.
@@marscalebThat's really interesting to know, thanks for going into that.
people spend money on things like this? is not a game, it's a fucking gzdoom mod...
Man i love that Quake 3 mod Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Dude, I see people spending money on new Fifa games, or Battlefield, or new FarCry...
@@jans2887 that's true, preordering failfields are the worst
Honestly, I'm tired of female protagonists in indie fps, sometimes it even looks like that devs are signing some sort of agreement that stricts them to this. This is only reason why I will not play Selaco.
Another female only protagonist fps... No, thanks.
You've got bitch in your heart I can tell.
k snowflake
In the year 2024 having a male protagonist for a genre with a 99% male audience is progressive lol
We get it dude you like men. We happy for you for finally coming out but cool it with that sexism
