I could have sworn there was a final update with some extra maps in the works for this at some point. I at the very least remember seeing a stream where you were working on it. Have you lost interest in the project or just Doom in general?

Ah, I never really formally declared it on these pages, did I? Sorry about that. The circumstances around this project got complicated, both on the collaborative side and the mechanical side.

I wouldn't really consider myself a great programmer, but the way I coded this ended up being Particularly Not Great; when hosted for long times on a server, it became a memory hog unlike anything else. We tried out various different things to fix it and there were streams attempting to handle things, but everything ended up making it worse--at one point we even had the then-admin of the master server come in to help us monitor and debug things, with a record low of 12 minutes before a server crashed.

I had a lot of fun working on this project, but unfortunately my code wasn't (isn't?) very network-sustainable and every attempt to fix it only made it worse. So it ended up kind of hamstringing itself before it really took off.

Execution could not continue.

R_OPENGL: OpenGL driver not accelerated!

Do i need a better version of gzdoom or something else?

You probably need an older version of GZDoom at this point. This released in 2018 so imagine a version like 3.8.2 would probably work.

Very fun and relaxing. 

this mod is pretty damn cool. Can't get the spraypaint to work though

Boys, beer and golf. What can be better?

Have you considered making the ball a cacodemon?

A pipe dream idea I'd like to do in the future (don't take this as a guarantee) is being able to customize how a ball appears, swapping between different skins for it.

Quick question. Why is there a cyberdemon on flatlands?

Purely for the sake of giving players something to fight if they somehow manage to get up there.

LOL basically punishment for nocliping cause I tried every which way to hit the ball over the mountains to hit the cyber demon but the sky kept getting in the way lol.
