This is the realm of a post apocolyptic earth. Magic has resurfaced but that was long ago. The Apocolypse almost destroyed Humans, but they survived, and changed, and new peoples appeared on the earth. The graceful elves of the woodlands, the stone dwelling dwarves, the solitary, nature loving anitre, the strong, if dim, ogrue, and the impish darklings. As is their nature, the new and ancient peoples divided up the land, peacefully at times, bloody at others...

DeuTex is a wad composer for Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strife. It can be used to extract the lumps of a wad and save them as individual files. Conversely, it can also build a wad from separate files. When extracting a lump to a file, it does not just copy the raw data, it converts it to an appropriate format (such as PPM for graphics, Sun audio for samples, etc.). Conversely, when it reads files for inclusion in pwads, it does the necessary conversions (for example, from PPM to Doom picture format). In addition, DeuTex has functions such as merging wads, etc. If you're doing any wad hacking beyond level editing, DeuTex is a must. I use it all the time.

Devastation is a first-person shooter built on a heavily modified version of the Unreal engine. The developers promise amazing particle effects, advanced AI, interactive environments and deep single- and multi-player gameplay.

From the home page:

"On a future devastated Earth, powerful, corrupt corporations control remaining technology and rule what's left of society. Pacification Squads, a brutal private police force, maintain order for the corporate syndicate.

The only hope for freedom is a small group of Resistance fighters made up of gang leaders, mercenaries and ex-military operatives. As the Resistance leader you must assemble your army and travel the globe, restoring peace and sanity in a very dangerous world."
