Harmony

In the near future:

Led by greed and hatred mankind drove itself into another world war. The forces of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere attacked each other with everything their destructive arsenal had to offer. Nuclear, chemical and biological weapons wiped out entire countries. The combined effect of the weapons resulted in an unforeseen side effect; a supervirus emerged that mutated all the men on Earth. For unknown reasons the women were unaffected. But they weren't save either...

The mutated men, though intelligent, lost touch with reality. From their corrupted minds a new order was formed; 'the Pax Pox'. Its first priority is to rid the world of the "impure".

The women who survived the war united to form an army against the mutant aggressors and called themselves "the Amazons".

Today one of the Amazon outposts is attacked and their leader; Amira is taken captured. Her last hope is her loyal friend; Harmony.

Will Harmony be able to rescue her friend and the rest of the human race?

Harmony is inspired by 3D shooter games from the nineties like Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. It uses the free Zdoom engine, which was made to mimic and enhance id Software’s Doom2 engine. Harmony started out as an add-on for Doom2, but along the way the project started a life of its own. It took about 8 years to complete. It's almost pure retro fun - no swimming, crawling or jumping, however mouselook works. Interesting fact from tigsource: monsters in game were modeled from clay figures that Thomas rigged with wires so that they could be animated. For a freeware game. Wow.

Harmony is a great game that plays a lot like the original, but with great new additions. The mouselook feature and strafing was missed in the former games (and fangames), but Harmony has got it. Some brand new graphics, and a story that is fair enough to get you involved - even if you just want to shoot stuff no matter what it is - makes Harmony an entertaining companion for a couple fo hours. I haven't gotten through the game, but I am hoping that I will. I got stuck in a specific place where I constantly forget to save when coming up to. Its compulsive it seems...
