Legacy of Suffering

Legacy of Suffering (LOS), is a Doom 3 themed mod for GZDoom and Skulltag managed by Logan MTM, the owner of the Brazilian Doom community forums: BrDOOM. People who have helped with this mod include Nigel "Enjay" Rowand, as a beta tester and Licinio Ribeiro de Souza, who is the artwork designer.



Story
Not much information about the storyline of the WAD has been released. Apparently, it is connected with the events of Doom 3 with a new marine.

The beta versions indicate that the story will happen on the Moon.

Gameplay
The mod will include a new episode for Doom 2, with new 9 maps (one is secret) and a special Invasion map for Skulltag. According to the author's note, the style of the maps will be similar with Doom 3 atmosphere, with high-tech detailed sectors, high quality textures as a well use of 3D floors, brightmaps, dynamic lights and other GZDoom features. All maps will have compatibility with cooperative and deathmatch modes. But this last one will be only to GZDoom because Skulltag don't allow 3D floors in deathmatch games.

The notes also includes, new intelligent and cruel monsters, a heavy metal soundtrack and new weapons. The Cannon Shotgun, a quadruple barrel shotgun exclusively created for this mod is used as a symbol of the project.

The mod was announced in 2008 on the BrDOOM Forum called: "Legacy of Suffering Episode: Dark Base", a new version of Logan's old 2006 project. The announce including a few screenshots and a game play video. As of yet though no demo nor any storyline information has been released; Logan MTM wishes for much of the content to remain a surprise until after release.
