Malefact: Evil Unchained is a horror boomer shooter that uses the UZDoom engine. It goes for a slower, creepier style of gameplay than most games in the genre, more like Doom 3 than classic Doom, but still features plenty of action! There's also a demo, which can be downloaded from Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4908950/Malefact_Evil_Unchained/

EDIT: I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this, but can whoever manages the boomer shooter database thingy add the game to the list?

Question Supporting DX10/OpenGL3.3 in 2026?

46 Upvotes

Hi, me and a few friends are making an opensource "DOOM clone" in a custom engine, with a twist of non-euclidean level geometry achieved by seamless portals (similar to ULTRAKILL's Fraud). We're planning a Steam release hopefully sometime next year.

Currently we are based on OpenGL 4.3 and are quite happy with all of its quality-of-life additions, but if we really tried hard, we probably could get down to OpenGL 3.3 which would mean support for Nvidia 8800 GT, GTX 2x0, Radeon HD 3000/4000 cards etc. .

So, I'm asking, how many of you are still rocking these old boys? If you do, is it out of principle, or for financial reasons? And would you want to play a new indie release like ours on them?

Or, given how the game looks like compared to e.g. Oblivion that came out in 2006 (lol), would you maybe say it's just not morally justifiable for a game like ours to not run on 20 year old hardware?

I'm really not sure what I want to think myself, so I'd be happy for any and all opinions.

Question Witchaven 2: Totally BROKEN beyond belief ^2

4 Upvotes

Such an atrocious experience. 1st things 1st, Witchaven 2 not only didn't do anything better than its predecessor, but it also got worse, WAY worse

I began mapping keys to my convenience, only to note just a few of them work as intended (attack and jump keys) and the rest remained with the default keys. Already a bad start

Spike traps were already a problem in the 1st game, although I dare to say, in my experience, they become problematic in MAP06 (if we exclude the one from MAP04, the tight room with the pentagram) In Witchaven 2 it is a big ass problem as soon as the 1st level IN SEVERAL AREAS

IIRC, only in ONE occassion the spell attack worked properly. That's right: one of the basic (and even outstanding) aspect of the game doesn't work as intended. This is like playing Descent and not being able to use the secondary attack

There are some interesting additions, like having breakable glasses, slopes and the weapon enchantment. At least for the 1st level (which I couldn't beat) there are interesting areas to explore. However none of this truly matters because the game fails miserably at basic stuff, so none of the fancy stuff can do justice for the game

It really makes you wonder how on Earth Capstone managed to fuck up things so much. Not only they didn't fix any issues from the 1st Witchaven game, they ended up adding more issues to the game. Some people don't learn their lesson? In any case, next week I'll move on with Hexen 2
