This is an absolutely stellar 3D engine you've created. I'm so impressed. While it's comfortably familiar to be surrounded by Quake-ish environments, I'm really excited see what this turns into when it finds its own path. (I did really enjoy the level you created though).
I really liked how the Doom port handled controls. I got very used to them and played through the entire game. I got good at holding the crank with just my pointer and middle fingers so my thumb could always access the A and B buttons. The control scheme here is wild! I kinda like how weird and original it is, but not having strafing is a bit rough for me. I think the d-pad as WASD with the B button enabling vertical aiming and weapon switching might work pretty well.
The game crashed twice for me in one particular outside area. If it happens again, I can send an error log if you'd like.
Just try to upload it with sideload, and it will tell you that not pdx file. In the emulator that say also same, it can't find pdz, i have both revisions to be sure it not works right with current file. Maybe you have a different pdx no that was downloaded from that page?

Again, I'm so impressed with this. Great job.
thanks - biggest hurdle to develop further is art direction, we’ll see how this get sorted out…
looks nice. will this be a 3d engine anyone can use in the future to also make games? keep up nice work
Looks super cool :) It is very similar looking like quake - is it like some port of the engine running this?
I really wish it would control with just the d-pad though, using the crank to rotate is really awkward for me at least.
Be super cool to see what you come up with here, looks like a really cool start!
thanks!
not a port per se - using the same rendering principles and level files, but the core rendering/game engine is my own.
pretty cool looking, I hope this gets a full version soon.
Can I just download this ON my Playdate?
you can totally upload via USB!
(I mention sideload as it is documented and easier to manage versions)
Cool. Didn’t want to officially try to publish?
Looking forward to checking it out!
first it’s not a full game, second not wanting to sell a game totally based of open source assets…
Ohhhhh k heh. Well excited anyway!
Wait, this requires Playdate to actually run the game?
Or am I missing something in the files?
totally - runs only on device
can you elaborate? the game runs totally fine (at least on Rev B) on device.

just tried and got it working just fine - it should report in sideload page:
not sure I appreciate the "that's not real" btw
I've run it, on rev A, no laggs, so that's realy looks like a miracle, hard to believe, you did it, super result!!!
i just powered off
I haven't even powered on yet LOL.
