from here-in, there be spoilers for myhouse dot wad and you should either just go play the game yourself (you need gzdoom (not rt), or go watch the powerpak video on youtube, putting these in their own thread because i don't wanna spoiler flashbang people looking at the info on that thread.

cropped screenshot of a windows desktop, showing a folder contianing gzdoom-rt, a raytraced doom 2 variant of gzdoom, showing a new mod launcher on the left, and to the right the doomworld page for myhouse.wad by user Veddge, a breakout surreal horror hit of a doom 2 mod, ostensibly a mapping of his home. text of main post to follow: "MyHouse Excited to finally release this tribute map. Last August I lost a good childhood friend of mine and took it pretty hard. When I was visiting my hometown for his funeral, I connected with his parents who shared with me some of his old belongings. Among them was a copy of an old map of his backed up on a 3.5” floppy from high school. Thomas and I were into amateur Doom mapping in the early 00s but I had never seen this map of his prior to uncovering it on one of the old floppy discs. As a way of paying tribute to him and all the great memories we had together, I took the plunge and installed Doom Builder in order to polish up his map and add a few modern amenities just for convenience sake. I haven’t touched an editor in over 15 years so it was quite a surprise to find out how easy mapping has become. I may have gotten a little carried away with these new UDMF features and, as such, the map is designed for GZDoom. From the text file: * Doom 2 - GZDoom, hardware renderer * 1 map: Not much of a challenge and roughly 10 minutes of play time. All difficulty settings implemented. * Jumping & crouching disabled, freelook is fine * Lots of Doomcute! Making maps of your house was all the rage back-in-the-day, but I feel like this is a pretty adorable and detailed tribute to my friend and a great way to share something of him with a community we loved. Miss you, Tom. Download myhouse.wad (on the screenshot this is a hyperlink that takes you to the google drive folder containing the rest of the material for the post, including the wad file)

*which will be remedied in the ModDB upload by the mod team themselves.

**if you don't want them to win just vote them out.

Also worth mentioning that as an example, none of the GZDoom guys cried wolf on Twitter when Doom II RT was listed in the trailer, which was made using a fork of GZDoom

Duke Nukem 3D gets path tracing and DLSS through a new fan-made mod
Developer Brian Schulman's latest project, Duke-RT, introduces a major change in how Duke Nukem 3D graphics are rendered. The open-source code adds a new ray-tracing rendering backend to Raze, a fork of the original Build engine that incorporates technology from GZDoom prior to its development split over AI-generated code concerns.

@dark1x.bsky.social not sure if you have seen this, but this looks legit: github.com/postmemetic/...

would be neat if we could see the other BUILD titles get similar treatment.

Here you go. You'll need one of the Nvidia dlls for DLSS if by some chance you need to use it.

Also the Spectres look amazing in it.

We need proper light sources for this fork to bask in the aroma of burning plastic on 30 and 40 cards.

(*) Now even in glorious real time ray tracing and with… a voxel engine. That mod does looks quite amazing - judging from some of the videos I've seen. 🤩

Duke-RT ainda está em desenvolvimento. O renderizador principal já está implementado, com suporte completo para APIs e tecnologias gráficas modernas como D3D12, DLSS Super Resolution e Ray Reconstruction.

This is the starting room of Bastion of Chaos. I'm looking up so it processes all of the BSP 360 degrees around the player.

Somehow, even with RT shadows enabled, VKDoom still has a leg up on GZDoom perf-wise.

(do keep in mind this map is ludicrously overengineered, it's an extreme example)
GZDoom, starting room of Bastion of Chaos, 25 FPS at 1920x1200 with 8x MSAA. VKDoom, starting room of Bastion of Chaos, 35FPS at 1920x1200 with 8x MSAA.
