Lastermaul (or Lästermaul) is a project to create a free and open-source replacement IWAD for Hexen. It intends to be the Hexen equivalent of Freedoom, Blasphemer, and Animosity.
While there was already a project with a similar goal called Zauberer, Lastermaul has a different theme and a connection to Blasphemer. At the moment, some textures from Zauberer are used as placeholders.
The title of the project is German for Blasphemer, similar to how Hexen is German for witches.
History[edit]
Development started based on a merger of Blasphemer and Zauberer by Catoptromancy, with GeorgePieVG starting a GitHub repository on August 11, 2024.
On August 13, 2024, GeorgePieVG announced[1] in the Zauberer thread on Doomworld that a continuation of Catoptromancy's project was underway, followed by a dedicated Lastermaul thread on August 26, 2024.
