After countless hours and years of work we can finally bring you the first episode of Phobos. We are very proud of what we have achieved and we hope you will enjoy playing it!
Read the included readme.txt for installation instructions.
So what happens from here?
We will continue work on Episode 2. And as we already mentioned in the previous article, we can’t at this time say exactly when Episode 2 and subsequent episodes get released, but we can assure you that they are all very far along and don’t need years of work to complete. Until then you will have plenty of time to explore Episode 1 thoroughly.
We will be looking out for any game breaking bugs in Episode 1 that we need to patch. So please let us know if you experience anything that could be a bug.
Have fun and please vote for us for this years Mod of the Year!
Wow, gonna have to Install Doom 3 sooner then I anticipated!
This is wicked! I look forward to seeing this after so many years of waiting!
Holy hell guys and gal, this mod is fantastic!!! Is AAA quality! Even tho I've yet to finish it and it takes a while for you to shoot some demons, but i don't care the intro to me was just fantastic, the presentation, the level design, the voice overs, top notch! I've paid for games with inferior voice acting and worse presentation. The little homage to game i love also put a big smile in my face, not talking about Doom3. And about Doom 3 the way you connected phobos to the original game was very cool.
Btw the only serious game crashing bug i add was in the beginning when you find the code to open the big round door after seeing the mysterious cube, when you open the door and try to close it by using the gui, the following error happens: Can't find function 'map_e1m7_2::OpenSomaDoor3' for gui in entity 'func_static_95629' .
The second bug i add was when Samantha is talking and you click ESC and immediately return to the game her audio stops, until her or yours next phrase triggers.
The third bug I add was with the grabber when you pick up objects the particle effect that comes from the weapon is just black cubes, as if some material is missing.
Btw i'm not using the mod on a clean install of Doom3 (i'm lazy) so I don't know if this bugs are really yours or caused by something I messed with in the original data folder.
Now, where did I put my discs of Doom 3 and RoE.
the levels and gameplay are superb. Shotgun and machinegun feel really beefy and love how aggressive the imps are and how plentiful the enemy count is. i can't really say I'm really that big of a fan of the "dear ester" style flashback scenes and some of the dialog feels like it goes on a bit too long where im just dancing around in a room waiting for it to be over. could just be me having no attention span for that stuff and unable to appreciate it :(
Took your sweet time marine?!
WOW, sweeeet! I've been watching for years, time to install Doom 3 again. This should be a blast. Thank you
You guys need to get in touch with the dev team for Dhewm3, an open-source fork of the Doom 3 engine (dhewm3.org). Phobos won't run under Dhewm, and the devs want to make it compatible, but they need access to the mod's source code to make it happen. The main developer has offered to handle the porting himself.
It's not a priority for us ATM. We want to focus on the next episode.
Maybe once the next episode is released we'll look into porting.
