DBK03: Shrine of the Silver Cyberprimate addon

Video playthrough playlist

Shrine of the Silver CyberPrimate is a 6+? map techno-mesoamerican adventure from the Diabolical Broadcasting Korporation, serving as a semi-spiritual successor to DBP09: Legends of the Hidden Tech. The project targets ZDoom 2.8.1 but has also been tested with recent GZDoom versions, especially 4.10.0. As with previous DBKs, the goal here is to use well-established ZDoom features to suggest a hypothetical '90s game engine made up of bits of Doom, Build, Quake, and Hexen. Since our goal is not to push the bleeding edge of modern source ports, effort has been made to keep the set playable on lower-spec machines.

UV difficulty should provide a healthy (if not ball-busting) challenge for experienced players, especially when combined with pistol starts and no-freelook. But don't feel bad about dialing the difficulty down, as all difficulties have been tested.

WAD: Doom 2

Source ports: ZDoom 2.8.1, recent GZDoom versions
Freelook: Allowed. No-freelook play has been tested extensively and will give you the most challenging, old-school experience.
Jump: No
Crouch: No
Swimming: Required—if not using freelook, make sure to have swim up/down controls bound
Difficulty settings: Yes, classic style (skills 1 and 2 have identical thing placement, as do skills 4 and 5)
Multi-player starts: No.

Please also mod carefully, as there are two custom monsters and many custom decorations.

TIPS & TRICKS

The environment of DBK03 is highly destructible! You can even smash vending machines for extra health and armor.

Beating hearts steadily increase your health by 50 HP (up to 200)

Risk Blazer spheres give you superfast movement, greatly reduced damage, and a special attack that lets your foes taste your burning rage. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Feeling anxious? Our machine-gun toting security guards are on hand to makes sure everything runs smoothly—especially your blood and guts!

These buzzing bastards go down easy, but watch out for their rapid-fire energy bolts.

Find and destroy all security cams on a map to reveal the mapper's name and tag. (Security cam locations can be revealed by finding the automap.)
