This mod received one of the 2021 Cacowards on Doomworld in the Gameplay Mod category! |
WidePix is a set of widescreen graphical assets for most of the IWADs supported by GZDoom: The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, Heretic, Hexen, Deathkings of the Dark Citadel, Strife, Chex Quest 3, Hacx, and Harmony. It was created by Nash Muhandes. The pack contains edits of the original title screens, intermission screens, credit screens, some of the weapons and status bars, and the Strife cutscene slideshows images. All of them were extended from the original 4:3 aspect ratio (320x200) to 21:9 aspect ratio (560x200), without changing the original art, meaning that the added art had to integrate seamlessly with the existing art.
WidePix was announced on March 15, 2020, and completed on October 21, 2021, receiving a Gameplay mod award at that year's Cacowards. It is now bundled with GZDoom and the Strife portion of it has been integrated in the official Strife: Veteran Edition re-release since December 21, 2021. Although its art was not used in it, the project was also instrumental in getting widescreen support and resources in the Doom Classic Unity port re-release.
