Gamedev now is making games for a bunch of people who don't play games to call you out on social media for either being a Luddite and not wanting to use generative AI or trying to cancel you because doing a bilinear filter resize in Photoshop is basically just like using AI
Ashes 2063 is another amazing mod that’s now available through GOG One-click Mods. It’s a gritty, post-apocalyptic reimagination of DOOM II in a Fallout‑meets‑S.T.A.L.K.E.R. style survival adventure, all powered by the GZDoom engine.

Set in a world after nuclear collapse, Ashes drops you into the dust-choked ruins of civilization. You’ll scavenge for supplies, take on violent raiders, face off against mutated horrors, and uncover the last echoes of a fallen world.
Blending retro shooter action with survival mechanics, it brings new depth to the classic Doom formula, with exploration, inventory management, crafting, shops, dialogue, and more. All wrapped in a haunting soundtrack and atmosphere that sticks with you.
It’s raw, brutal, and easier than ever to experience.
