Man it's wild that we're already done with SOMA. I know it's not necessarily a long game, I just feel it's can't have already been almost a month since we posted the first bonus Saturday VOD on it. Time moves too quickly, y'all.

Anyways, we start off today's VOD finishing off the game, but since we were left with some time we picked back up a still new-to-me-at-the-time mod called Hideous Destructor. This was still back before I had my own reskin, HUD mod, any of it. And I picked a mapset that I was definitely not prepared for...

SOMA, though, man I don't think I'm ever going to forget this game. Legitimately I still think of the themes and questions presented in this game to this day. It's mostly earlier portions, but every once in a while I'll come back to the ending scene here. Hopefully my playthrough was enjoyable and thought provoking for you, and thank you all for coming along on this journey.

Well, now that we've finally published the first releast of our first major framework for the community, let's take a step back and revisit some of our other addons. One of the things I've been tinkering away at is my own first weapon pack, one that I've posted about before (see here for the Black Hole Generator, here for the pipe bombs, and here for the claymores & land mines)

I noticed that between the Pipe Bombs and the Laser Trip-Bombs, I've started to basically re-implement and re-imagine what the Duke Nukem 3D arsenal would be like in the world of #HideousDestructor, so why not continue that trend and start working on some more?

I bring you, the first iteration of the Ripper Chaingun! This is currently not a lot more than a tripled-barrelled Vulcanette, but I'm hoping to give it a bit more personality as I continue to iterate upon it.

The day has finally come, I have pulled the proverbial trigger and released the first proper version of the core framework/library/abstraction-layer, uh, thing for #HideousDestructor and have begun the laborious process of submitting PRs to various git repos to begin integration! This has been a long time coming, but with more and more players seeking out the version of other addons that leverage the library, along with my multitude of forks that I used during development of said library, the pressure to release this beast can be contained nor put off any longer.

Thank you to everyone who has playtested with this thing over the last several months, and every bit of feedback received has helped push to make this a better toolkit for all of us!

So I spent the better half of the last week or two working on fleshing out a common base class for various melee weapons across different #HideousDestructor addons, and at least initially, I think it turned out ok! Things are quite extensive already, and hopefully will grow as more new instruments are created.

The challenge was figuring out the intention behind various disparate parts of code across each individual weapon, in order to rewire everything up to a more modular, hopefully cleaner abstraction layer. From here, though, not only should a new weapon be simpler to create and receive boilerplate feature enhancements, bugfixes, etc automatically, but also allow for more interesting mechanics going forward.

We've got some family stuff to do tomorrow, so you know what that means? #Secret #Saturday #Stream #Shwnanigans is here, and since we're still in the middle of DOSember, let's do something a bit different and work on some more HDest modding development, shall we?
