Doomed: By the Hour is a Doom II megawad created by finnks13 & Yumheart as a part of the 2022 NaNoWADMo event, made for Boom-compatible source ports. It was first released on November 1, 2022, with the final version being uploaded to the idgames archive on August 2, 2023. The mapset comprises 32 speedmaps, most of which were built within an hour or less; hence the name of the project. The map slots were split up evenly between the two mappers, with finnks13 for the most part providing the odd-numbered levels and Yumheart the even-numbered ones, while the secret maps consist of a collaboration between the two and a guest map by gabirupee.

Content[edit]

Custom content[edit]

The WAD file includes a DeHackEd patch that is used to add three custom monsters to the game, as well as increase the firing speed of the pistol, shotgun, and chaingun. The plasma gun is also modified to shoot red instead of blue plasma, and has its recoil animation removed, allowing it to be refired more rapidly after the fire button is released.

Plasma guy
An evil marine with 70 hit points that replaces the Wolfenstein SS and shoots bursts of plasma, though its movement and attack speed is substantially slowed down compared to the Scythe 2 original, making it move only slightly faster than a regular SS Nazi.
Green cyberdemon
A cyberdemon with only 1000 HP and green wiring on its body. It replaces the spider mastermind and, as a result, can infight with the regular cyberdemon.
Afrit
An exact copy of the afrit from Scythe 2, only with 1000 HP rather 2500. It replaces Commander Keen.
