Hello everyone!
I’m working on my project for about six months now and I’m finally ready to present it to you
What is UNLOVED?
It started as a mappack for Doom2, which was highly acclaimed by the community and even received a community award for best mapset of that year. The mappack had almost no story. You wake up in your house and you’re all alone. All that is with you, is your sanity. Or is it?
From that moment on, the player is thrown into the darkness and before you drown in your insanity, you have to escape the nightmare. While the mapset was very dark and atmospheric, I tried to keep the original gameplay of fast paced action from the original Doom alive. The result was a chilling experience that nailed even the most hardcore Doom fans to their seats.
After receiving such a good feedback about Unloved, I wanted to turn it into something bigger. I wanted it to become it’s own game.
When I saw the Unreal Engine and what it was capable of, I immediately started to create UNLOVED. But I didn’t just want to turn it into a remake - I wanted it to have it’s own unique feel and make it stand out from other first person shooter games. One of my most favourite games of the modern times are cooperative games like Payday or Left 4 Dead. Also I loved the idea of modern roguelike games like Binding of Isaac or Spelunky.
I combined all those ideas and this is the result.
Sometimes a video can tell you more then I could ever write, so I’ve prepared a demonstration video for you.

Public Alpha Test

Steam Release
The contract is sealed and the game will release on Steam soon after the public alpha. From that moment, I want to start growing a community around the game and every new update will be heavily influenced by the community. What new weapon type do you want to see? What mods should the weapon have? What new monsters, player characters etc.
Please feel free to leave a comment, question or post your thoughts about the game! I’d be very glad to read everything you have on your mind
