You could buy all sorts of things from them – food and ammo! They are admittedly more useful in this game than in the future iterations. I hadn’t yet converted the final boss and their posters away from Rainbow Dash’s to Maimbow/Lightning Dust’s… Surprise used a Rainbower prototype – one you can wield too if you can find it. The enemies were mostly hitscanners… the weird, Wolf3D type with damage falloff. Play through the prototype yourself to find it. I refuse to show it, that’s how embarrassing it is. However this lead to the impossibility of making set-pieces like the Pegasus Device. Wolf3D’s limited grid-based, tile-based map editor allowed for levels to be designed quickly.

Scoot Hard: Rainbow Factory/Scoot Hard SDL (November 2012, code patches in 2020-2021)Į1L1 as opened through Wolf Data Compiler. I will also point a bit of minutiae some people might not know about Project Absentia’s codebase. I also will be doing my best to avoid spoilers for those who don’t want to be spoilers, so some enemies will be skipped, and details about lore that has changed that affects the story will be minimal unless it related to a core gameplay mechanic. However, I will show off the sprites from the various enemies and how they evolved.

I will also be focusing on the common enemies through the series of prototypes.

I will mainly be focusing on E1M1/MAP01/E1A1/E1L1 – aka the first level that appeared in all Project Absentia’s history. Project Absentia Alpha Build 1163 (a recent build of Project Absentia, bundled with WIGZDoom 4.6).Scoot Hard DX Beta 3.1 Build 798 (the last version of SHDX before the initial 1.0 release, bundled with WIGZDoom 4.6pre).Scoot Hard DX December 2020 Build 152 (the last version before Metal Neon came on, bundled with GZDoom 4.5).Scoot Hard DX Pre-alpha Build ? (bundled with an ancient copy of WIGZDoom, dated August 2013).Scoot Hard: Rainbow Factory (aka Scoot Hard SDL, Circa 2012-2013, Code fixes in 2020-2021).I decided to focus on some of the major differences between the following games:

That’s when Scoot Hard DX was forked to Project Absentia, after some ideas were conceived. After it’s completion, several people suggested we go commercial. Scoot Hard DX was admittedly a very… crazy fangame. Rather than a Post Mortem of SHDX proper, this is more of a technical and graphical analysis of the difference between various milestones. The development was longer than Daytime Drama’s development, and is still on-going. While it’s too early to do a Post Mortem on Project Absentia, Metal Neon suggested I do a writeup on the history of Scoot Hard SDL, Scoot Hard DX, and Project Absentia for an upcoming event.
