PoolDooms

PoolDooms is an original experiment born from inspiration by the iconic E1M1 level, reimagined in the spirit of Poolrooms. The mod grew out of a desire to recreate that same unsettling, surreal atmosphere of liminal spaces right on the GZDoom engine.

Despite the map's small size, an enormous amount of work went into it: the location geometry was rewritten from scratch, and the lighting scheme was changed dozens of times to achieve the perfect balance of shadow and reflections on the water. To spare the player from manually configuring graphics and add-ons, the mod is delivered as an "all-in-one" package, with an already optimized engine and presets.

Package contents:

• Ready-to-run GZDoom v4.14.2 with optimized settings.

• Kurikai HD texture pack with PBR lighting support.

• Updated liquid textures (Liquid Texture Pack 7.0.1).

• Dynamic flashlight Flashlight++ v9.1.

• Marcelus HD monster and weapon sprites, along with the Footsteps sound mod.

• Individually tuned ReShade (can be disabled with one button if desired).

This is a short but aesthetically rich journey that shows just how atmospheric classic Doom can be with the right attention to detail.
