Its not where I want it to be, but development has been on hiatus for a while because of life reasons. I still think its good where its at, just has a lot of bugfixing and polish that needs to be applied, bit more rebalancing as well. It's mostly focused around progression, so a lot of aspects get better as you go. Altfires for weapons, a magic system focused around toggled utility spells (including the tome of power,) max hp and ammo increases as you level, inventory stacking for items (even armor pickups,) a fuckton of melee staff techniques, the Modern Magister class borderes on bloat but is nowhere near as convoluted or pace breaking as stuff like Wrath of Cronos. Also if you decide you hate most of the new mechanics and consider them bloat/op/etc, there's another class that plays more like classic Heretic with a bit of extra oomf.

In terms of Monster packs and mapsets to pair it with, I generally recommend anything plutonia and above in terms of difficulty (goes well with slaughter.) Works well with Heretic, and has partial support for Hexen and Chex... don't bother with Strife though, it works but its not balanced for it well at all (one day...)

The accompanying monsters addon is a bit dated, but there's a built in option to beef up doom's monsters to better match it. Otherwise its a lot of fun with Colorful Hell (just turn down the experience gain option otherwise you'll level up fast as fuck from all the bonus drops) and goes pretty well with sets like Rampancy and Malefactors on high difficulties. Since its more magic/occult themed there tends to be a lot of theme clashing with most of its options, but that kinda ends up tying into "the lore" of the mod anyway.

I'll complete it one day, hopefully things will calm down a bit and I can get back to work on it and get some overdue updates out. In the meantime enjoy this crappy compressed webm of the bfg replacement telefragging a cyberdemon with a friendly maulotaur bro.

memeing aside, here's how its actually supposed to work. sorry for the webm for ants.

Idea is that the weapon shoots 210 ghosts. if 200 of them hit the same enemy before it dies, they will telefrag it and spawn a friendly maulotaur. Super niche but I thought it was fun :)
