Hello UncleRusty and hope you are good, its great to hear from you!

Might have to release this version without the Ai upscale as its not ready and looks like this will take more time then expected, plus I need to save up for Gigapixel to finish each sprite frame and its $100 I cant afford it right now, to be honest, I cant afford to live in this world.

So regarding the Mage, he was OP in the unreleased test versions and in COOP the Mage just killed everything before the Fighter could even hit an enemy so we had to balance the Mage for COOP, the reason the wands start with widespread fire is to make sure the mage could not kill everything from a distance, so as the Mage levels up the wands fire spread decreases and you can also input XP points to accuracy in the stats.

Seeing as I have never even seen a Brutal Hexen COOP stream/video or anything, this has been reverted back so the Mage now just kills everything but is a glass cannon.

So the Mage has had a complete rework, all wands have a brand new weapon framework but I cant write any spoilers, also reworked the rest of the weapons/spells etc

Maybe I could send you the beta version to test out the HUD with your 32:9 display as I have to emulate this resolution and my laptop goes to 0.0001 FPS and it sounds like its going to melt.

A kind user also mentioned to lock the HUD in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 32:9 display so the HUD elements are not at the edge of the screen but so far I have not found a solution to this and I have not seen any other ID1 mod that can replicate this or 32:9 HUD so it would be great if you could kindly test this theory that would be fantastic.

Thanks again UncleRusty for all the support, I am eternally grateful. I'll send you a DM so I can maybe send you the beta?

Yes, I'd be happy to test out the beta and provide and feedback as needed! I can test the ultrawide resolutions as well as check out the updates to the mage, that sounds great! It definitely makes sense with the co-op changes in mind, but I think glass cannon for the mage does make the most sense.
Hello UncleRusty, sorry for the late reply.

Thats great news, I'll DM you the update, thanks so much for testing out the mod.

Thanks again.
Just an update here.

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Hexen with the new Brutal Hexen V8.0 out now.

Hope you enjoy.
Oh wow, this is fantastic. Can you please DM me the Hexen + Hexen DD joint campaign thing? I'm so keen I'd start the game even with the base game WAD, but your custom campaign would be better for sure Big Grin
Greetings and hope you are good.

Greetings!

I apologize for intruding but I was unable to find a link anywhere and see others also asking, might I be able to acquire the Hexen+DLC wad mentioned in the OP? I own all of the necessary game files, including the most recent Nightdive stuff, but I do not have a combined wad.

Either way, I thank you for your work on this mod. It's always nice to see Hexen get some attention.
Greetings and hope you are good.
