IHNI: Episode One - Doom Mod Madness

[@AllNetTony]

"What does IHNI stand for?" "I have no idea." "Fine, keep your secrets."

[@DrMurdercock]

Well, I have no idea why he won't tell us. Or why he didn't look it up. Makes no sense to me. Usually he does his research first.

[@DeonGaming]

@@DrMurdercock r/whoosh or are you continuing the joke? :D

[@sdfkjgh]

I like Sir PTerry's take on it, with _Sodomy non sapiens._ What does that mean? Buggered if I know...

[@planescaped]

@@DeonGaming A lot of people in this comments section are wooshing, but I don't think this is one since he repeated "I have no idea".

[@powerdude_dk]

@@DeonGaming I'm pretty sure he's in on the joke lol 😆

[@sawyervuorensyrja4703]

The Chaingun sprite is actually the assault rifle model from a game called Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter. Very interesting to see something from such an obscure game

[@SoundlessMound]

I was about to comment this. I love that game~

[@MrClubSandwich]

Yeah, that game had it's flaws but it was really unique, especially with the way you used your ship to enter and exit levels. Man..... such a long time ago now.

[@richardquinn3522]

I recall loving it. Also the tech cultists little emoji faces...

[@SerathDarklands]

I'm honestly surprised anyone else recognized it.

[@roadwarrior6530]

It looks a lot like the assault rifle from Deep Rising

[@deathsyth8888]

There should be an expansion/sequel to this mod called "IDK".

[@Hunne2303]

and a collectors edition with added "FA" :p

[@SmeddyTooBestChannel]

the trilogy, IDFK and IDGI

[@Trains-With-Shane]

Needs a weapons pack called "IYKYK"

[@vj7248]

11:29 that silo map def giving off the half life 1 vibes. which is dope.

[@electricdragon9366]

IHNI looks cool, but I was caught off guard when the "cutscene" showed the boss's face. That's actually impressive.

[@jasonyesmarc309]

I love that the 3D cyberdemon stuck to a low-res texture set so that it fits with the rest of the games art style. Too many times people put 3D monsters in a WAD and give them high-res textures and it looks clunky as fuck. Remember that happening a lot with the Doomsday engine.

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Reminds me of how the N64 port of Duke Nukem 3D gave the Cycloid Emperor a 3D model rather than a sprite (I guess that was Eurocom’s way to show off their 3D tech that they’d use in Zero Hour).

[@ExplosiveNotes]

IHNI ... Insanely Hellish Nuclear Inferno? Incredibly Hasty Native Implementation? I Hate Naked Intruders? I have no idea

[@sdfkjgh]

15:56 For literally DECADES, I thought that was the bloody neck-stump of a decapitated body. Only now, with this partial sprite, do I learn it's actually the broken helmet, with blood oozing out of the break at the lower right.

[@shogun2215]

I get massive Half Life vibes from this mod, and that is praise of the highest order.

[@afd19850]

Yeah same!

[@jans2887]

Just playing it now. It's nothing like Half Life in terms of gameplay. It's much better :D it's faster, more dynamic, has better level design and the weapons just feel much more devastating

[@browninplay]

Absolutely! Fantastic world building with these environments and never taking away urgency from the player - All with that solid Doom gameplay thrown on top *chef kiss*

[@browninplay]

This mod is just pure brilliant - I'm almost tempted to use the tired argument of, "why can't we have good games like this coming out of bigger studios". But the answer is simply, they can't make anything of this quality of fun any more, so why bother, the DOOM modding community will blow them out of the water every single time :P

[@sdfkjgh]

13:52 Sometimes also known as Raep O'Clock, Pyramidhead's Tea Time, and Hawaiian Dickings.

[@bigangenbygang]

I really hope that Kraja makes the Episode 2 that they've so cruelly teased and mentioned someday. That or gets hired at ID because this is some top tier shit.

[@kraja15]

Oh i will finish it - even if it kills me. It's just... the way things are going now - it may take some time. I just simply don't have as much free time as i had when working on EP1

[@vostyok6030]

Really happy to see this mod progressing. It's been fun to follow it's development. Also hahaha spinney rifle go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@arkgaharandan5881]

its from mace griffin bounty hunter, any chance we see more high tech weapons on ashes 2063 episode 3? Yes i am a fan, favorite game of 2021, put it on steam, make money please. Cant wait for the weapons and enemies mod for doom. I hope i can use the m79 grenade launcher, by the way thats a good idea for episode 3, use a m79 while riding a bike. Ill stop fanboying now.

[@vostyok6030]

@@arkgaharandan5881 lol, we'll see

[@nimlouth]

You guys in the doom community are releasing masterpieces left and right lately holy crap!

[@TivonSanders]

Imagine the hysteria if Doom 2 or Final Doom had these special effects. Goodness this looks fun.

[@powerdude_dk]

the graphics and overall feeling of the area the molten metal where you fall down the elevator is astonishing!!! i'd like to see that in full detail on my 1440p monitor!

[@planescaped]

This mod's a beauty alright.

[@flexarnn]

Stoped watching a minute in and downloaded it. Have how finished it and holy fuck thats some good circle strafing funtime right there!

[@ImNotFine44]

These doom levels look better than even the new games. Absolutely stunning.

[@afd19850]

A lot of devs forget that in an FPS, your gun is your character! This mod nails that (along with several other DooM mods) with half the team and budget of “AAA”

[@thecourier8634]

half the team and budget of "AAA"? You do know that these mods are done by 1 or 2 people with absolutely no money, right? like, not even a cuarter, let alone half of money and released for free and most AAA games are done by hundreds of people across different studios. Wtf are you talking about? Do you even know how something is made? WTF?

[@Andriej69]

The shadow work is exceptionally amazing

[@BiodegradableYTP]

This is shaping up to be a terrific mod. I playtested an earlier build when its creator, Kraja, posted it on the Doomworld forums back in 2020 and I was well-impressed with it back then. It's great to see all the progress they've made with it since.

[@AllisonIsLivid]

I like the look of this and will eagerly follow it's development. Bullet Ballets are fun and all, but I tend to prefer these intricate, detailed, and tense encounters and environments over massive battlefields of monsters all at once. A few well placed monsters in a tight environment is always more thrilling I think.

[@AllisonIsLivid]

And even the bullet ballet parts seem very well designed. This mod seems to really "get" both styles of encounter, and what makes them fun to best!

[@Liminal-Escalator]

I LOVE the more atmospheric and innersive levels. Especially the OSTs by Aubrey Hodges. Doom CE is the PS1 versions but better. Totally different experience. You'd enjoy it if you haven't tried it already. With fast monsters turned on it feels extra diabolical.

[@poot111111]

Glad to see you uploading, I have been missing your content @IcarusLIVES

[@McSquishMe]

He's got another channel he uploads his twitch streams to: IcarusLIVESTREAMS He plays mods through, and they usually don't disappoint.

[@planescaped]

@@McSquishMe I've never been a fan of watching streaming, it's a form of entertainment I just don't get... I did used to watch my older brother play games when I was a kid and comment on what was happening, but that's a bit different than watching strangers play games over the internet alongside other strangers for money. It's kinda weird and I just really don't get it. >__>

[@poot111111]

@@McSquishMe hey thanks for looking out homie, I will check it out

[@McSquishMe]

@@planescaped I don't watch live, because he's on when I'm sleeping XD I'm the type to wanna play, not watch. That being said, listening to Icarus play, and watching what he plays scratches my doom itch. I don't have the computer specs, and Bethesda quit adding mods to the console doom games, so I take what I can get. That being said, it's all gravy for me.

[@CraftyScotty99]

2:34 It's not just any Pump Action Shotgun... That's a Winchester M1897, this bad boy made the German's call it a War Crime... This is THE Trench Gun.

[@SinaelDOverom]

The animations look weird because in some instances instead of using different sprite frame, they rotate the current frame around which looks super weird and gives an impression as if it's an image printed on paper.

[@colemclain3563]

Nice, Doom Mod Madness is back! Great video, thanks.

[@jans2887]

I'm only on level 3, but if what I've seen so far is any indication of the quality of the final product then it could well be one of the best Doom mods I've played. Or shooters in general.

[@hankdedalus]

That Chaingun model is from a game called mace griffin bounty hunter. In that game it was just your "Assault Rifle"

[@douglewis7946]

I had Babel Monsters on at the death sandwich bit in map 3. It doesn't affect monsters consistently, but it did mean that the Hell Knights threw much faster, and the Barons were throwing triple projectiles. Only way I managed to survive was immediately dropping the two Barons upstairs and taking back the balcony to fire into the crowd below.

[@deltaomega2136]

When I saw that tablet explaining things at the start. I thought this mod was going to have some sort of mechanic allowing you to resurrect after death. Apparently not.

[@GeistInTheMachine]

Wow. This is so good! Great job to the modders.

[@Murdoom]

Episode. ONE. What a MONSTER. I think I NEED to play this.

[@EMDakka]

that hammer at the end is the pulverizer from KF2. Noice.

[@jimadams7765]

That is a work of art.

[@lordfriedrick7911]

11:00 The blue screen of death!

[@Aikisbest]

8:18~ I wanna describe it as Doom-styled chess XD

[@rautamiekka]

Really like the shotgun anims and sounds, he even bothered making 2 pump anims for it, which must be the 1st ever.

[@VulpeRenard]

Now that's the kind of sprite rework I like to see in my mods.

[@sevensixtwothirtynine3020]

impressive mod. pain in the ass boss fight

[@jeremymurphy2787]

That's a very Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter -ish chaingun sprite

[@KvltKommando]

Weapon look great, especially the shotgun and the pistol

[@user-jb3kp3ly2t]

honestly, this is great and I can't wait for the full release. The only criticism I have is the enemy sprites. It's kinda like when gearbox released the HD models for half-life. Like the doom 3 Cyberdemon fits well, it's just that it's quite distracting seeing the vanilla sprites contrasting the more HD ones

[@MaxIzrin]

That looks amazing!

[@deioo1965]

Just a note, this appears under the classic Doom category, it requires a Doom 2 WAD (won't work with classic Doom 1 WAD)

[@Jayalen]

That Chaingun is from Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter

[@Aikisbest]

This mod looks absolutely amazing :o I mean it looks polished enough to be an actual commercial product. EDIT: Also was feeling a slight classic Half-Life vibe from this and a certain elevator ride later and that vibe is only growing stronger XD

[@pheenmachine]

Stopped at 1:30 to download. This shit looks dope.

[@Worgen33]

Ugh, dammit, I can't even watch 2 min of this vid since just the intro makes it so I have to play this mod.

[@ThaMrJoker88]

Holy shit this looks absolutely freaking amazing 😳

[@Sabastiantheabsoluteunit]

Hey! The end boss is the cyberdemon from Doom 3

[@Masaru_isamu]

The chaingun looks kinda like the assasult rifle ya get in Mace Griffen Bounty hunter xD

[@4orap4o2]

Hey i don't know if you already know about this but Ashes 2063 episode 2 got released some time ago. It's very interesting and pretty long too. Would love to see you cover it.

"Why do you hate Ennai, Icarus?" :D :D

[@geminielectro]

Woaaaah..... It's an impressive mod.

[@voneror]

Minigun is from Mace Griffin (old Halo clone). It even still looks like 3d model.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

The chaingun from Mace Griffin - Bounty Hunter lol.

[@rustblade5021]

can you do Auger Zenith??? more people need to know about this one. it got snubbed at the last cacowards, "honorable mention" on the fourth page, because of drama between doomworld and doomer boards.

[@keeparguing611]

what drama?

[@mattc7420]

2 minutes in and I've already started downloading. I'm so glad to see a new balanced Doom mod.

[@setukage1]

If a pump action shotgun is pumped sideways with the ejection port facing up, wouldn’t doing so cause ejection failures? Doesn’t really look cool either.

[@planescaped]

Depends on how forcibly one pumps.

[@Procket12]

Shotgun model doesn't make much sense considering its of a Winchester 1897.

[@kraja15]

Maybe it's just such a good shotgun they haven't found a proper replacement for it even in the far future.

[@lucascoval828]

Cool "cinematic" opening.

[@arkgaharandan5881]

the chaingun is from mace griffin bounty hunter.

[@Blankult]

7:00 Doesn't this room look like one of the rooms at the end of systemshock 2?

[@mugwump7049]

Looks nice but I hope there's a centered weapons option.

[@rautamiekka]

Huh, I actually had the build 7b downloaded, which likely (didn't check) is a very old one.

[@reverendbrown]

That looks bloody marvelous.

[@cooldude7255]

OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE SLEDGEHAMMER SPRITE IS JUST A SPRITIFIED PULVERIZER FROM KILLING FLOOR 2, a game that USED to have a solid melee class which is now wet tissue paper compared to anything else, the Pulverizer is a heavy duty metal sledgehammer outfitted with a mag and trigger system that essentially creates an explosion on whack impacts, IT EVEN HAS SPRITES OF IT\S INGAME DIRECTIONAL SWINGS

[@kraja15]

Yes. Most weapons here are from KF1 and 2. And ulitmately - my goal is to make a melee system akin to KF2 - with light and heavy directional attacks, blocking and parrying.

[@CTyler84]

Hm. This mod would be a good fit for C𝕙ee𝕝l𝕠's upcoming fully voxelised model set.

[@Firefox13A]

Awesome

[@Glabrex]

Doom 2: Ashes Afterglow - you should try it

[@hebonky]

Fun fact: Rocket duels can't damage the cyber well, so why do mappers keep loading you up with rockets to this day? Seriously confused I thought we got over this hump in the early 2000's

Is there a way to mix mods? So play this with brutal dooms gore system?

When did the term "kiting" come from? Never heard of it before until I was streaming last week and someone told me to try it. I thought he meant killing. Now in this Icarus uses it 3 times. !?

[@nangsanbhalangblah333]

Idk if you take requests, Icarus, but there's a mod called "Siren". A demo came out recently and I was wondering if you could check it out, thx for the content. :)

[@Arcterezion]

I have no idea what IHNI stands for... ... 😜

[@garreswe]

Sure, the quality and gameplay might be great but why are the magazines still called "clips"?

[@douglewis7946]

I love that you just triggered everything at once and fuckin booked it for the red keycard fight, but I feel like you missed out. The lava floor damage is surprisingly insignificant, so battling those five encounters in sequence becomes a mix of using your one pillar for cover, and strategically losing some shreds of health to circle strafe your more aggressive foes.

[@EmeralBookwise]

The map work on this is just amazing, but unfortunately the enemy could not is just a bit too high for me to enjoy.

[@MondySpartan]

You should check out Doom Shinobi.
