Damn, and I was about to shout at you for being off topic in an action
games group when you're talking about how WoTC created a second
"Sigil"
project and killed it even faster.

In the meantime, I d/led it and will figure out how to make it run in
GZDoom in my spare time. Thank you!

Tell us how it goes!

 
Easy as drag-and-drop as soon as you point GZDoom at the right DOOM.WAD.
 
It's really interesting map design so far. Romero does a good job with
those. Lots of thinking on your feet. Ammo shortages. Etc.
 
Unfortunately, since I got my HDR monitor, some full-screen SDR games
cause the monitor to come back dimmed.
 
Which is how I learned that CTRL+SHFT+Win+B is the "reset graphics
driver" keyboard command.
 
Sigil II is pretty nice. Good level design. Difficult. It's no "Brutal
DOOM" though.

I'm downloading DooM in Steam to get the doom.wad to make gzdoom work.

(gzdoom download page has a deb for those of use using Ubuntu-esque Linux
distributions. :)
