@@mugwump7049 It means both things in a very literal sense. It means "the metal gold", "the color gold", "a shine or glimmer" (noun only), and "a high standard".

6:10 "This stuff makes me moist." *C H E E K I B R E E K I I V D A M K E ! ! !* Looking at Quake II TC, I instantly recognize the opening levels! I never played the N64 but I assure you that those levels are in the PSX, my favorite of the Quake 2 games, because I grew up playing Quake II on the PSX.
It's hard to find a way to describe the level of satisfaction, joy and fun I get playing these mods, cause is just so good and enjoyable. With those new games is normal to see good graphics but for some reason I find the levels design on DOOM "shocking and amazing" even though is not 4k but still is beautiful and very relaxing looking.
Been waiting for a new Chapter for Ashes, so great to see this beauty on it's way! Hoping it ties in with Chapter 1 as a huge megawad, changes to bike & seeing extra weapon upgrades will be great for Chapter 1. It's got enough repayable factor already, this will be that extra cherry on top 😋
That's a nice video length right there. Definitely looking forward to Ashes Afterglow and Treasure Tech Land. I hope the latter gets nice and brutally difficult.
Only reason I'm not rushing out to download the Ashes demo RIGHT NOW is because I don't want to spoil myself for when the full things comes out later. Ashes has seriously been one of my favorite games over the past few years, stoked that there's more of it on the horizon!
I played the first Ashes demo a while back and was hugely impressed. Right now I'm playing Golden Souls 2 which is the best full conversion I've played in a LONG time. I believe you did a video on the first one.
Treasure Tech has been one of my favorites since the release of the first tutorial level mod and I gotta say, can't wait for more of the TT Land levels in the future (I'm a sucker for Wario as well so it all comes together). Shoutouts to Batandy for providing more of his great level designs and map layouts.
Man, I still have a doomed demo disk from 2006 in one of those, tightly zipped and unmoved since then. It has Don's challenge with it's demos, Immoral conduct, and a bunch of those spin offs, some of the very first TCs for DooM and technical mods for the original Edge and ZDoom releases, pretty nuts.
Ashes Afterglow: I wonder if this mod uses Strife as a base. The enemy on fire and the NPC dialogue options seem familiar. So it is a mod of a mod? LOLS
Strife's reverse engineering is a fascinating tale and I imagine most of that code has been baked into a lot of projects that only gently brush up against it. But yeah, I have the same wondering whenever I see the dialogue. And the "I'm on fire." death. :D
As others have said gzdoom uses a lot from all the doom engine games, it's why mods like guncaster work so well with everything from doom through to strife
If I'm not mistaken the original was released with the Strife IWAD because I guess it is public domain, and that way they could call it a "free game" as opposed to a mod (or something like that)
never have i ever thought i would see dinosaur canyon recreated in doom, but the absolute madman behind treasure tech actually did it. the lancer delta is a pretty cool nod to sega rally, too. this guy definitely knows his sega racing games.
For those wanting to play Ashes Afterglow, upgrade the shotgun first. Seriously, that bayonet lets you lunge great distances. Combine that with jumping and you can cross massive gaps and enter certain areas or secrets earlier and/or easier than normal.
The funnest mod I've tried lately was something like Counterstrike Mars Invasion. It was a hoot for just playing vanilla style. It was pretty OP, but God it was fun using real weapons with realistic load times in DOOM 1.
I have just spent a night trying to make Doom RPG and Doom Roguelike Arsenal work together while showing health UI (the only way to do it was to use "screenblocks 11" console command which I found 4 hours after suffering...) I am so happy CZcams recommended me your video/channel. You've earned a sub, and I thank you for a great video, it helped me get over the PTSD from yesterday.
Ashes is the best mod i've ever played. I hope it gets done fairly soon and doesnt get dropped. Also i think its worthy of being a stand alone game like Hedon
Did I just detect a bit of LGR flair in that intro? Anyway, the Ashes team missed the opportunity to call this sequel 2064. It would have been a nice nod to the Metro books series.
I was already excited for the prospect of Treasure Tech getting its own map pack; having Batandy on the project is the cherry on top. Having the Golden Souls dev is an absolutely perfect choice.
When I first got into playing Doom 2 mods I (for whatever reason) had an "obsession" with trying to make Doom 2 look and play like Quake 2. I would endlessly search online for gameplay mods or level wads inspired by Quake 2 and all that but nothing hit and I could never really find what I was looking for but maybe with this Quake 2 Total Conversion mod it may just be what I was looking for all those years ago.
There is a mod/sourceport that adds 3d models for weapons, enemies and pickups. Makes it quite quake-esque. But why, it doesn't feel right. personally I play on GZDoom with lots of the fancy effects enabled, but the enemies have to be crunchy, unfiltered sprites. Give me anisotropic filtering all day, but don't make stuff blurry and rounded.
@@HappyBeezerStudios I used to use gameplay mods which basically turned all the weapons and enemies into those of Quake 2. Some Quake inspired wads I used to play weren't balanced very well when I played with the gameplay mod but I wasn't sure if it was because of the wads design or the mod itself but then again I used to use 2 different source ports which both gave me different results. To give you a bit of an idea for example if I loaded up brutal doom on GZDoom it would run fine but if I ran it on Zandronum it would run completely different with new enemies I wouldn't see before but to answer your question as to why I guess it's because I wanted to play Quake 2 without it actually being Quake 2 if that makes sense...?
yoooo as a nerd that actually loved those n64 quake 2 maps i cant wait to check out that mod! thanks for puttin a spotlight on it lol hadn't heard of it prior. also feck yeah treasure tech
Can Confirm there will be more Weapons at least one replacement if not two for each of the Gun types from Pistol to BFG. Ultra been working on this super hard and if you want to see sneak peaks at least weapon designs or level themes he's working on go check out his twitter! twitter.com/SuperUltra64 Seriously I love this guys work and am so happy to see it shine so much seeing everyone covering puts a smile on my face being I've seen how much work he's put into it just by watching his streams and following his twitter.
Ashes seems to be built more on Strife, which used the Doom engine. Strife had dialogue with choices and item usage, so if you used Strife as your platform you’d already have those features ready to modify.
@@doomy08854 I seem to recall him getting salty over Civvie outboomering him in regards to the new Blood Fresh Supply port, but I might be wrong on that. I have watched him quite a bit but his opinions are shit many times to be honest.
You're telling me the BEST doom mod (Ashes 2063) is getting a freaking sequel!!! Vostyok needs to sell it on steam as a standalone and be up there with the boomercore fps revival.
Icarus, you should know better than to throw skeletons around when you're Dooming. That's a good way to get your set melted with plasma from some trigger happy space marines: "Ahhh! Revenant!"
@@Artec619 I make the analogy because recently some of his jokes and the way he edits videos is reminiscent of Civvie. And that's something people seem to complain about as of late. I'm trying to spin it in a positive way. As in, Civvie does the original games, Doom, Quake, Duke 3d, etc and Icarus does the mods for those games.
Hey @ICARUSLIV3S - If you start the list with 0:00 - Introduction, it will make the timeline divide into pieces from the other timestamps in your description. It's awesome.
Ashes looks exactly like I imagined Ion Fury would look like, when I heard about it first time, I was little bit disapointed when I payed it... Cant wait for full version of Ashes!
FECK YEAH TREASURE TECH
Colab! Colab! Colab! Colab! Colab!
Daddy?
Get back to your dungeon.
You ever planning to make a wad only channel
Wouldn’t expect you here
20:12 Jesus man, you nearly gave me a heart attack. You can't just do that, someone could die of terror
too spoopy
Can we have spoopy doom?
Dude I was expecting a jumpscare XD
Quack 2: The Quackening.
Okay, now I want a mod.
"Duck Quake 2"
Quack III arena
Ashes reminds me of the movie “Escape from New York” so much. I adore it.
There's a bar owner in Ashes that looks like Plisken and is called Kurt
Movies and games about the post-apocalypsis (like the one you mentioned, also Terminator, Mad Max, Metro, Fallout, etc, etc.) were actually inspiration sources for this mod.
Same
@@IllusionaryBorder no shit
Literally he said that it was a shame there was no map pack adapted to treasure tech
A few month later and BAM, there's a map pack!
The abilites of the Doom modding community know no limit!
Coincidence or did someone listen to papa Icarus?
@@mugwump7049 I think that it was planned from the beginning. It's that they decided to make the gameplay mechanics available to the public first.
Yeah, my understanding is it was planned from the beginning.
5:21 The ice cream maker being out of order is also a wonderfully nice touch, and further shows the commitment to fine detail.
Ashes Afterglow looks like a game I'd pay money for! Full release on Steam!
If all the code and assets are completely original they can do it. I wonder what their plans are.
SHUT UP! do NOT give ideas!!! XD
Fun fact, Aurum, from the Latin means "Shining Dawn" and is the elemental name for Gold! (Au)
NEEEEERRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!!!!!
Actually that’s quite interesting and I didn’t know that
Wait, really? I thought it simply meant gold.
On second thought, you're probably right. It does sound like the root for aurora.
The sad thing is that I know this mostly because of Artemis Fowl.

I'd pay for a retail version of Ashes.
No kidding, big box with manual, jewel case, poster and everything, I would buy that in a heartbeat...
Only if it comes with extra tat EDIT: Read as Ashens. My bad
Imagine if Ashes 2063 was as big as something like Fallout 4.

Downloaded the demo last night, fresh off another run through Ashes & DMW. Have made my way through the first level. WOW! It is absolutely incredible!
God, I can't wait for more Ashes to come out!
@Baron o Markers Same. From what I've seen so far, the next Hedon episode is gonna be serious tier.
Ashes 2063 was my mod of the year back when it was released. I'm very much looking forward to Afterglow.
That's a nice video length right there.

Yeah, it's a bad joke.
A dedicated map designed for treasure tech? And more ashes on the way? Sweeet

Treasure tech with that grate recreation of dinosaur canyon from daytona usa
I thought Ashes 2063 was still a WIP?
I can’t believe the Quake II mod looks this good!
Another stellar review, Icarus. 🤟
Hehehe, that Daytona theme playing on Treasure Tech Land race circuit level
11:47 - It's pronounced "OW-rum". It's the Latin word for gold.
I am loving these frequent uploads.
Man, I still have a doomed demo disk from 2006 in one of those, tightly zipped and unmoved since then.
It has Don's challenge with it's demos, Immoral conduct, and a bunch of those spin offs, some of the very first TCs for DooM and technical mods for the original Edge and ZDoom releases, pretty nuts.
These look so good. The DOOM modding community is so talented.
Fuck yeah, the two wads I wanted to hear about most in one video?? You’re a champ.
Ashes is so cool, I didnt realize there was more in the works. Id happily pay good money for a full length retail release
The creativity of these mods is amazing.
About to sleep, well guess I'm up for another 21 minutes.

Gzdoom adopted a lot of strife features such as dialogue and menus. A lot of newer mods use it
It uses Doom 2, and as the others have said, GZDoom has Strife features as well has Hexen and Heretic, and then some.
As others have said gzdoom uses a lot from all the doom engine games, it's why mods like guncaster work so well with everything from doom through to strife

Ashes is amazing. Deserves to be a full game.
btw i turned to volume to full before the drop in the beginning
im so happy now, thank you.

So you didn't get a haunted Doom DC delivered to your doorstep? Aw man
The best CD insert all the times❤️
I like Ashes Afterglow, it has the potential.
the old ashes motorbike was like the half life 2 airboat of doom mods
I love the visual at around the 8:47 mark, if you were to strafe downhill while you look across. Really awesome idea I think
You know, it just hit me... that first mod is probably what Rage should've been. Like Rage done right.
The ending spooked me tremendously.
Did I just detect a bit of LGR flair in that intro? Anyway, the Ashes team missed the opportunity to call this sequel 2064. It would have been a nice nod to the Metro books series.
Hm... This looks really good but...
[Skeleton added]
Ah, much better. I am now pleased!
I am so here for more Ashes.
A mod that flows so well that after completion you have the same satisfaction as though you finished a good meal.
I really like that thumbnail. Looks goofy and spooky at the ame time. Good job, Icarus.
I love how this punchy these weapons are
Aurum, the scientific name for gold.
DooM with sectors above sectors?! Heresy! Burn it!
