One such dimension is Cronos, the world of Hexen: a human world, but one where the forces of magic are both stronger and more strictly controlled than those of the Elven world. His victory was hardly insignificant, but the other two Serpent Riders were far from idle and continued sowing the seeds of destruction in several other dimensions for a thousand years 1. Heretic chronicled the adventures of Corvus, a heroic Sidhe elf who challenged the forces of D'Sparil, the weakest of the three dimension-traveling Serpent Riders. The game was also ported to the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 consoles. Heretic, Hexen, and its expansion pack were later included in a compilation called Towers of Darkness: Heretic, Hexen and Beyond. The entirety of Hexen's soundtrack is not present on the CD, however, and many levels are associated to different songs depending on whether MIDI or Audio CD music is used.Īn expansion pack for Hexen was released in 1996, called Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. The tracks included on the Hexen CD are recordings of the Hexen music using a Roland Sound Canvas. Unlike previous games, which had relied purely on MIDI for music, Hexen can also play tracks from an audio CD. Ambient sounds are supported but instead of being hard-coded into the engine as in Heretic, they are script-based which allows the level designer to edit their action more freely. In addition, the game features doors and crushers that rotate or move horizontally (rather than vertically), pulsating lights and scripted level events. Hexen also features a ' hub' system of maps which allowed the player to travel freely between several levels while preserving their state (monsters killed, puzzles solved, items collected, etc) between visits. The engine supports network play with up to eight players, the choice of three character classes and retains Heretic's ability to look up and down, and also adds the ability to jump. Hexen uses a modified version of the Heretic engine.

The first Serpent Rider, D'Sparil, was the final boss of Heretic and the third, Eidolon, would later appear in Hexen II. The main goal of the game is the destruction of Korax, the second of a trio of demon brothers known as the Serpent Riders, who has taken over the world of Cronos. Works with some minor graphical glitches.Hexen: Beyond Heretic (or Hexen) is a first-person shooter and fantasy adventure computer game developed by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive beginning on October 30, 1995. This map will NOT work with Woof! (crashes to desktop). This map will NOT work with PRBoom-Plus (error message: P_SetupLevel: E2M1: Hexen format nog supported). Used later in development, no issues to be reported.įully compatible, no issues to be reported. This map will NOT work with DOOM Retro (error message: Hexen format maps are not supported). This map will NOT work with DSDA-Doom (error message: P_SetupLevel: E2M1: Hexen format nog supported).

At this point, Crispy-Doom is NOT recommended to play this map. Runs with some severe compatibility issues regarding gameplay and some graphical glitches. Used as primary development port, no issues to be reported. The original ZDoom source port was used for playtesting, so the map should work on any ZDoom deratives such as GZDoom, LZDoom and Zandronum.įor more information about this map, see the webpage and various threads on the Doom related forums where I have posted this release and are active on. As a result of using Winzeth, the map has been saved as 'Doom in Hexen' format, which is not supported by certain ports such as PrBoom+ and DOOMretro. The map has been initially developed with Deu 5.21 GCC, followed by Winzeth 4.17 and finished with Borg's Zeth port (1) due to Winzeth crapping out with a memory error. If a particular source port is not listed, then the workings with this map is unknown. An overview of used and tested source ports during development has been listed below.

Variations 1-21 is a collection of 21 rooms containing unfinished and unreleased works plus design elements that I did for the original Doom in the late 90's/early 2000's, all now finished and cobbled up into a single dedicated Deathmatch map (single and cooperative have been added to prevent possible compatibility issues with certain source ports and/or editors).Ī limit removing port is required, since the original DOS version of Doom already craps out with only ONE room though not every available port has been tested for Release ONE.
