Introduction
Greetings! I assume that you're curious what this mod is about and the direction it's taking.
Doom Payne is my very first gameplay mod, this mod intends to replicate the Gunplay and Mechanics from the 2001 Classic Max Payne into Doom, similarly to other mods like Duke it Out in Doom and Ultra Crispy were, while also taking my own liberties and still remain faithful to the original game's Source Material, I'm also aiming for really big attention to detail, might be unnecessary fluff, but will be part of my vision of wanting to make this mod be as neat as possible with details.
It's been in development for three months and I am slowly learning new things with it, I was a bit quiet about this mod until PCGamer covered my mod in an article, which brought a lot of new eyes on this mod, which left me surprised, but ultimately happy to see more people interested in my mod, so this is pretty much why this ModDB Page exists now!
Planned Files for Release
- The Mod in a Folder Format (For who wants to temper with the mod or create new branches of it on release)
- a PK3 File of the Mod
- An Optional PK3 file that replaces some of Doom's Default Music with soundtracks from Max Payne, in a similar way to what Half-Payne did.
Since I have a lot of eyes on me now with an article from PCGamer, I am slowing down updates to keep the hype going and to keep most weapons and features secret.
Now, you may be asking: When is it coming out? Not anytime soon, There's still a lot to be worked on with this mod and it still isn't finished enough to be ready for a release, it hasn't gotten off the ground of unfinished since I still haven't implemented all guns to the mod. However, all core mechanics and some of the weapons are in place and development has been quite smooth lately, so fingers crossed that it stays consistently smooth for a speedier release.
Also, as a last note, I want to thank fellow Modders @Xortts from this site for the Bullet Time, DenisBelmondo from the ZDoom Forums for the enemy projectiles and SnakieJakie from Twitter and the ZDoom Forums for some help with coding, without some of their creations, this mod's creation wouldn't be possible if they didn't give me permission to use the Bullet Time and Enemy projectiles as built in mods. Make sure to check their content out too.
In the meantime, all I will ask of you, the reader is be patient. Development speed may vary depending if I am caught up with personal life stuff or if I'm not in the mood for it, I have no exact schedule to work on this mod and I have no fixed deadline, so keep that in mind. However, I will make sure that I always bring new updates to the table to assure everyone that the mod is still alive and kicking.
Another Side Note: Please, keep your expectations low, while this is essentially a passion project and I do have good faith of a relatively good reception, remember that this is also the product of a first timer, it's definitely not perfect and I am still learning as I make, some things you see in screenshots may differ in the final release too as this mod is constantly changing by every time I develop it.
Thank you to who reads this article and I hope everyone enjoys this mod once it's done.

Dude, don't give up!!!
The max Payne 1 and 2 remake is coming up, Perfect time to continue the mod and put it into out to get in.
I have very fond memories of Max Payne 1 and 2 (as well). Not just the game, the action, but the storyline... Max Payne is one of the most tragic characters in fiction.
Hope you manage to finish the mod. Best of luck!
Vxtwitter.com I think you need to continue the mod, The voice actor of maxpayne passed away and you need to do it for him, and complete the mod
What? Really?? Oh man... that's very bad to hear.
Hey there, yes I've heard of James' passing, which kind of fired a light on me to continue working, I'm still working on it but progress has been slow and mostly keeping progress under wraps.
I had no idea he's dead 🥺.
That's so sad. I would love a Max Payne mod in doom.
Damn..I just now understood that it means MAX PAIN..
Damn. I know that game since 25 years almost..
Anyway. We have BULLETTIME add-ons, we have working 3rd person mods like ETERNAL SLAYER , SHINOBI and so on. So it's definitely possible.
.I promise I make a wonderful video with it if you release it one day .
Just hoping this mod gets finished just to honor him.
I hope that this mod still lives and it can have early build or something like that.
Yesterday I saw Max Payne themed weapon pack for GMod and remembered about your project, @BulletTimeTails...
At the moment, I'm in a point of uncertainty if I want to finish this mod or not, lately I've been feeling insanely burnt out and fatiqued from anything that is related to Doom and times have been too stressful for me to do anything.
I apologize if I disappointed you, but don't expect me to continue work on this project any time soon, this project at the moment is in an abandoned state, because I don't see myself coming back to it because of all stress and anxiety that all the attention I got last year brought me, and the stuff hapenning on my personal life didn't do me any favors either.
I ultimately jumped ship and decided to work on smaller scale projects, remain as a niche content creator.
Once again, I'm really sorry, I hope you can understand why I came to this decision.
But as compensation, I might give someone else the source files in case anyone wants me to pass the torch to another modder.
That is very unfortunate to hear.
I was in similar situation and that's why I released an early playable builds of two of my mods before New Year of 2023, so someone can have, at the very least, something like "alpha" to play with.
I can only wish that you can get some well rest from modding and try to lighten your focus span a bit with some other hobbies and relaxing stuff to do.
Is there any possibility for sources to be uploaded as GitHub repository, so someone can finish this mod?
