I really like Inn escape.Hope you do more like this.
Thankya!
First two episodes of your Strange Aeons partial conversion were immensely enjoyable! Loved the moody, surreal, dreamlike feel of the environments from E1, and E2 reminded me early techbase-style maps from Chasm at times. That moving fortress/giant armored vehicle map from E2 is pretty memorable, you rarely see stuff like that in Doom.
Thanks for playing and commenting! I’m trying to finish E4, which hopefully won’t be a letdown.
If Randolph Carter had the misfortune to inhabit the 21st century, I think you’ve well imagined the horrors he might encounter in the Earth’s dreamlands. Bravo.
Thankya for the kind words! Version 3.5 is coming out soon.
Hi, I was just playing Strange Aeons 5.3 using GZDoom 2.2 r889 and on map E2M3 the blue key wasn’t present. It was only when I found a YouTube playthrough of the level that I saw where it was meant to be, but on going there it just wasn’t present, meaning i was stuck in the room unable to get out.
I did some testing and started the level from the map command, then noclipped directly there, and the blue key was present, but on doing the same thing with my save file from the start of the level, the blue key wasn’t present again.
So it looks like a bug that doesn’t always happen, but when it does it gets saved within the savegame making progress impossible.
That’s why the site and readme recommend you play it in ZDoom. GZdoom devbuilds can throw things out of whack with a lot of mods. Try it in regular ZDoom and see if it still occurs.
Okay, I finally got around to trying it with ZDoom 2.9 r1021 (as I’ve always used GZDoom), and the exact same issue happens. In normal gameplay when the map loads on level transition, the blue key isn’t present in E2M3 resulting in you getting completely stuck. It must be a map issue as I’ve never had this kind of issue on any other mod.
Are you playing on easy? Apparently the key wasn’t flagged for those settings, so maybe that’s the issue. If you’re not playing on easy, I’m clueless what could be causing it.
Playing on the second difficulty level – “Hey, not too rough”.
Thing is, if I instead warp directly to the level using the map command, I can see that the blue key is present when I noclip over to it to test it, but when I play the game normally, going from level to level (and the only saves made were the autosaves at the start of each level) the blue key is missing so I end up locked in that room unable to continue.
Check the new version and see if it’s fixed. Otherwise I have no idea, unless it’s a devbuild issue. Zdoom 2.8.1 is the last version to have a news update, so I imagine that’s the latest non-beta release, and it never has this issue.
I think that fixed it! On seeing you mention the difficulty levels, I re-tested the level by setting the skill value then using the map command. At skill values 0, 1 and 2 the blue key was missing, but at 3 and 4 it was present, suggesting that it was indeed related to the difficulty level.
On downloading your new version, skill levels 0, 1 and 2 now have the blue key present, so it appears to be fixed.
Now I can get on with enjoying the rest of it. Many thanks! :)
Yep, confirmed as fixed now as even on normal level transitions through game progress the blue key is now where it is supposed to be. Oh, and it was just skill levels 0 and 1 that were affected, not 2 as I mentioned previously.
Never did find a way to open that wooden door in the future dimension in Inn-escapable, boo hoo!
Anyways, you can fall into the toilet and not get out of it without jumping in the starting dimension.
Weird. Thanks for the tip! I may or may not get around to fixing it at some point. Been focusing on the bigger mods the last few years…
If you mean the wooden door hidden behind the “fridge” thingy, you have to open that door in the previous timeline, then quickly teleport to the next one and run through before it closes. I should’ve connected more of the doors that way as a clue to the solution.
The simplest fix would be to make the button that “flushes” the toilet shootable, since that raises the middle of it and would let you free.
Sorry to bother you about this map this late but I too have issues opening that door… As far as I can tell there is not even a switch that I can find in the previous timeline. I have been going though the map very thoroughly trying to understand what everything does but nothing seems to connect to that door behind the secret panel next to the “fridge”. Any more tips?
It’s been a long time since I even looked at that little experiment. I believe that’s the door that is jammed shut in the future scenario, but if you open it in the previous scenario it opens in the future, at least long enough to time-travel and run through it before it closes.
Kinda like how there’s two berserk packs in the kitchen pantry, but if you grab the one in the previous scenario, it’s gone in the future; so if you grab the future one first, you can grab it again in the past.
ah yes that did it! Thanks!
Oh, also, no matter what weapon you have selected, you can alt-fire to deliver a deadly kick. That’s why ammo sometimes feels scarce: you’re encouraged to balance shooting and kicking people in the face where applicable. Hope that helps.
Oh no, I just noticed you’re playing an older version of the mod. If you play any other episodes, you’ll need to download the latest version so you don’t miss out on content and bug fixes.

Oops, can you move my previous comment to this section of your site please? I accidentally posted my thoughts in the wrong place… sorry about that.

If I ever figure out how to do that on wordpress, I will. Aheh…
Thank you for taking time and doing Strange Aeons, i am big fan of H.P. Lovecraft “Kadath” novel.
Thanks for playing! Keep an eye out for the Dr. Chaos Heretic map set next year. It has a bit of a Lovecraft vibe as well.
Re-played it with High Noon Drifter, it’s still as awesome as before, thx Mike!
Not sure why some of your kids won’t work with doom touch… . I got around this on ebay..by typing in the console changemap eday01
Is there a similar command I could use with
Project einherjar
And m.o?
Autospell destroyed what i was trying to communicate
” not sure why ,project einherjar , and M.o, don’t work for doom touch pro… any suggestions?
I have no idea how Doom Touch works, so I can’t help you. Sorry.
Shah, there is a newer version of doom touch called delta touch, its based around gzdoom rather than zdoom, it works with alot of newer stuff though it can be laggy on some of Mike’s maps as well as some addons flat out don’t work.
I loved Project Einhajar and Midgard Outlaw. You are are master of Doom Maps.
I hope to see more from you.
Definitely check out Operation Sea Wolf then!
I concur! He’s one of my favorite Modders/Mapper of all time.
Mike, you’ve inspired me to make my own mega-wad inspired by Strange Aeons, I’m very thankful of you for this and I figured its only right if I asked you if I could borrow some of your code, specifically on the Ballistic knife from PE. It’s for a throw attack for a combat knife. You should also know that I have been using the Guns ‘n Monsters addon of SA but most of everything has been replaced and I’m merely using it for a guide on how to make a weapon and music changing wad.
Hey! You can look at the code, but it’d work better if it didn’t pierce, since that wouldn’t happen with a thrown knife at all. I think all I did to make it retrievable was use a particular spawn thing action in the death state, but it’s been so long I don’t recall. Go ahead and dissect my stuff if it teaches you how to use Decorate!
Thank you I really appreciate it, keep blowing us away with your amazing mods
Thanks for playing all my projects!
Is Inn-Escapable for Doom 2 your first Doom/Doom 2 addon I’m thinking about doing your addons in order and want to know if this is where to start
They gave me a wiki article apparently, so you can use that as a guide: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Mike_MacDee_(Impie)
Thank you for your cooperation lol sorry couldn’t resist
Is Inn-Escapable your very first Doom addon
No, but it IS really old. My first doom maps were revamped and added to Strange Aeons.
Hey, Castle Bathory was a really high quality map! thanks for all the work
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed that old effort from 2015.
I know it’s not my business, but what happened to Carbon River? I really liked it. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want, I will understand.Thank you! All your otherstuff is really great too!
played all of robocop DOOM – really enjoyed it. thank you! gonna try strange aeons now. saw your stuff by way of icarus liv3s. your efforts are greatly appreciated.
hey thanks for the kind words, friend!
Great work all around, I’m a big fan of Fears, Strange Aeons, Cronus, Robocop and especially Splatterhouse wad, played ungodly amounts of that one. Any Doom-projects you are currently working on? Keep up the good work!
thanks man! no doom projects on the table atm, i started messing around with board games again. xD
Hey, I played through Dynamite Duchess last week and I must say I absolutely loved it. The level design is amazing and I really liked it how almost every weapon also had an alt-mode for melee.
Been a fan since Icarus made a vid on Strange Aeons (which I still consider one of my fav Doom mods.)
thanks for the reply man. I just found out there’s another Lovecraftian mod called Dead But Dreaming (i think) which looks positively dope. Might wanna give that a whirl, too.
thanks for the mods. loving that whole tanks in autonomous zones thing
you’re loving it more than the zdoom forums did. xD
Man, screw the zdoom forums. Let them fester in their little hugbox.
You’re one of my favorite modders in terms of your content. Splatterhouse 3D, Operation Body Count, Robocop, the Junoverse, you have all the bases covered for both total conversions and maps.
I started playing Camp Cronus in VR and it’s super scary and even more of a challenge. Now I’m thinking if you made a purely stealth horror game all about sneaking around the monsters no weapons nada, it would be a blast to play in VR.
if only i had access to stealth mechanics in doom that weren’t this wonky…xD
Absolutely loved Dynamite Duchess! Gave me a vibes of Mayhem Mansion TC by darsycho. Level design and graphics are 10/10, weapons are fun as well as enemies are. The only complains is about ammo balance and turntable weapon. I played on hardest difficulty and everything was pretty okay until the final boss, I got no more ammo for Handmother’s second and third phases, so I just died a couple of times because I tried to kill her with my axe. About the turntable. I couldn’t get it because the first thing I bought was “Grand prize” and then I saved right after doing this. Boss fight started and because of killing that cat (?) I wasn’t able to buy a new weapon. Would be nice if all showcases opened after bosse’s defeat.
I saw a topic about duchess on Doomworld, and it’s sad view. In my opinion every content be it a game or some arts is an expirience that author emits from himself to viewer, so why should he not give his expiriences about politics/quarantine? What a bunch of whinig dogs. Hope you will continue making cool tcs despite being banned.
I also wanted to ask about Masha Kolesnikova, is there any way to cantact her (Preferably VK)? I’m making game of my own, searching for pixel artist right now.
The last thing. Apettite for detention has a bug on the very start of the game. When I’m trying to leave a carpet sector on the cutscene with uncle screen starts fading to pitch black, so I can’t see anything even after cutscene ends. For more details – I used GZDOOM version that was packed with original dynamite duchess.
Sorry for bad eng if there is any mistakes
The bug sounds weird. I never encountered it before, even with the packaged gzdoom version. Try it with a newer gzdoom and see what happens.
Glad you enjoyed the mod, and thanks for stopping by! Not sure if I’m making any new ones yet.
So you delete every negative review… maybe zdoom and doomworld guys were right about you, huh dear mike?
When the same petty asshole keeps spamming negative comments just to rile me, I tend not to waste my time with them, especially when they don’t have the guts to use their real email. In this case, though, I’ll happily make an exception.
If doomworld and zdoom attract personalities like yours, it says a lot about those communities, doesn’t it?
Why don’t you just leave Mike alone you fucken’ parasite.
I’m kind of late to party with saying this, but I’m really sorry to hear that you got screwed over by the ZDoom and Doomworld boards, I figured to be warry of their moral standards ever since the ZDoom board booted off Sgt_Mark_IV (for similar reasons to you from what I’ve seen), and since the a lot of people from Doomworld were bitching about some things in Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony which forced to the developers to censor some of the Mod.
With that said, I hope this bullshit hasn’t crushed your Doom Modding Spirit, because you’re one of the best Modders there is IMHO (Strange Aeons is my favorite out of your work).
After Day of Toys is complete RoboCop vs Terminator would be really cool. There was a RoboCop vs Terminator game back in the day on like SNES sadly we never got the movie.
Good work. Where is the angst remake.
