Umbra of Fate is one giant map (conceptually split into four areas that are roughly equal to one level each) for doom 2 by YukiRaven (some of you may know her for a mapset called Shadows of The Nightmare Realm, one of the recipients of the 2017 cacowards). Quick overview:-Use GZDoom 3.3.x or higher to play -You must include brightmaps.pk3 and lights.pk3, both of which come with GZDoom -dmflags/dmflags2 are both expected to be set to 0 -Mouselook is required. I also suggest binding Swim Up to a key (I personally used F during testing). -The hardware renderer is required. So dynamic lights, high resolution texture, and 3d models are required. Enabling bloom is encouraged, but not necessary. Shadowmaps (gl_light_shadowmap) can be used as well, but there's some visual artifacts in some places with them enabled since it wasn't designed with them in mind. -No jumping/crouching (these should already be disabled via MAPINFO anyway) -Additional mods are not supported Read more about the story, credits and other stuff here.

I played Shadow of the nightmare realm (not entirely though) but I wasn't... "feeling" the gameplay. This looks like is going to have a very similar vibe, at least visually. Idk, these wads make me think of the Cheogsh series, but the Cheogsh wads even with their flaws and the fact that they are (almost) 10 years old now still look like they were made in a more tasteful way compared to those 2 fresh wads.

Yukiraven? Isn't that formerly Dj_Hakuro? I can't keep up. Didn't know she was such a badass mapper. Looking damn fine.

Yeah the gameplay usually suffers in maps like these... it would be great if these outstanding visual mappers align themselves with good gameplay mappers.

YukiRaven releasing this is good news for the guys working on Elementalism. Now she will be freed up to work her magic on some of the other maps.
