"Have you ever played an organ constructed out of human meat?" "What?" "A meat organ Sam!" "That isn't even possible!" "Yes it is! I've played one... Sounds terrible"

The "Aggressive Hula Hoops" are actually based off of one depiction of an Angel in the Bible. A lot of angels in the book are actually described as looking like eldritch nightmares, thus why they always announce their presence with "Be not Afraid".

fun fact: the siren head sound is actually from a malfunctioning tornado warning siren in Chicago

Thank you so much for playing! It was a blast to watch this live, too. Right now we're tweaking a lot and also revamping the levels you're talking, but it's good to see that you enjoyed it so much! We're hoping that once we've ironed out these last few things we can begin porting it over to Steam like I did for Shrine 1.

The art direction in this mod is THE best I’ve ever seen from a Doom mod. Bravo.

0:42 "It's the Dark Souls of doom mods. Really makes you *feel* like Sekiro" - IGN, probably

Hey I love the presentation of this. Disturbing mildly alien medieval but drawn as stylised pastel, that's new but also vaguely reminiscent of 80's scrollers.

Noticed at 10:48 the horseman boss's theme is actually the theme for Beelzebub's fight in SMT Nocturne. Funny cuz I just remembered how big into smt the coder for shrine is

13:31: That's actually a Throne, one of the weirder kinds of angel in the Bible. Look them up sometime; they'll make you realize exactly why the first thing they say to humans is invariably "Don't be afraid."

Absolutely Grotesque, *Absolutely Glamorous.*

6:10 heh I get it, cause it's an organ...

Oh hey, I recognize the lighthouse's siren sound there! that's a broken tornado siren that malfunctioned in Chicago a couple years back. Excellent use of it!

icarus, the Hula Hoop boss its a biblical angel thats what they look like

So the intro to this mod is basically dark souls 1's undead asylum?

Icarus: "A very aggressive series of Hula Hoops." Me: Taking notes for DnD campaign bosses.

Pro tip: There's more than one spawn for the Bone Mortar! There's a soul secret containing it in the first level. Good luck using it for a long while though.

I love how the Bloodrail is literally just a reskin of the Quake 2 railgun.

The airdash mechanic with the boneblade imo looks strongly inspired by Wrath: Aeons of Ruin, it's a nice touch.

The thicc boi in this mod looks alot like the pure flood forms from halo 3

This is like the visual design from Agony paired up with game design that's actually competent.

Shrine II is for sure a shoe-in for the 2020 Cacowards. This has been a great year for Doom, what with the Console Doom patches and remaster of Doom 64, the release of Doom Eternal and all these phenomenal Doom mods like Jazz Jackrabbit II and Shrine.

Love that one of the enemies is actually just a meaty Pac-Man, dying animation and everything. The enemies in general are great - everything from references over horrifying hanged men balloons, all very "Biblically Accurate Angel"-esque, with one straight up being one. And killing the organ by destroying its main organ is a pretty fun pun!

"Time to go the pub..." is the best response to defeating an ancient god that resides at the center of existence that I've ever heard.

"A camel type creature with a scentient hump" LOL

The spritework is stellar

The Goreblaster is EASILY my favorite weapon in Shrine 2. All the other weapons are nice too, but the Goreblaster has that sheer, raw power that feels so good to fire.

The buglike weapon in this mod makes me think of a similar weapon in Half-Life, you get it from alien grunts and it fires homing alien bees Infact i think that might be where this mod got the idea for that weapon

This is an astonishing new visual paradigma.

I've been watching yt vids about doom mods for over a year now (kinda just for some inspiration) and this is probably the coolest and most beautiful looking one I've seen.

14:59 Well, the level's name is Lust, so semen? 15:06 Ah, so it's Xenomorph -blood- semen. Gotcha.

Alright, you sold me with the bee gun. Love me a good weaponized bee.

Man, these folks really improved on the first form, I really couldn't g et through the first one, but, this one looks like it's never a dull moment.

30% of comments: *talking about the hoola hoop angel and why they always say "be not be afraid"*

Looks like someone got tired of waiting for Scorn so they made it in doom.

Thanks for covering this. Very interesting. Will be putting this full conversion mod at the top of that particular to do list.

For Shrine and Shrine II being free on steam it's well worth your money. A little short, first one only has 13 or so levels and the second 32.

It’s Amazing How One Game Spawned Decades Of Non Stop Inspiration

creepy yet unique

11:13~ I dont know why but those errant fireballs going upwards in sort of circle pattern makes me think of the Madness series from Newgrounds (and specifically how hands work in that universe.) X3

Finally another edition of Doom mod madness

i can't get over the "you some found ice mana" at 2:59

Yes I’ve been waiting for you to do this episode for weeks

I had no idea there was a sequel. The crucifix and angels seem like an odd theme here because this game feels way more cosmic/inter dimensional rather than heaven VS Hell.

I haven't been creeped out or scared by a video game for 20+ years, when I was 11 playing AVP2. But this mod and the first one genuinely creep me out, probably even more than Scorn; something about the ambience and low-fi look must contribute to that

There are actually two secrets that you can get the mortar in before the Gates of Seraphim chapter. Actually, there are ways to obtain pretty much every weapon several levels early if you look around.

Style-wise, it's like a 2D version of Scorn.

If i recall, the boss that looks like rings or hula hoops is a visual representation of what an angel is described to look like in ezekial's part of the Bible.

This TC has excellent visuals, gameplay, atmosphere -- their is clearly quite a bit of skill and talent here. It's really inspirational from a creative means. I'm interested in seeing what will come next.

There's a sequel to one of the most epic TCs for Doom‽ 👍😲

“Aggressive hula hoops” clearly you haven’t seen a biblically accurate angel *smug Robert Downey Jr. image*

Your use of the word mercifully is merciless!

Uh, Project Warlock! That's what this mod reminds me of, visually. It's those sprites that stand out against the 3D environments. Black outlines and such. Like they were never meant to be in a 3D space. It's a cool look, by the way

so the axe is named dy-lon... cus it spits hot fire

The art style really reminds me of old RPG Maker horror games like OFF or Yume Nikki

6:53 Nxxxxxs: 1000 ways to get paid.

I just got done playing this and I am so happy it got a sequel

Nice texture work.

looks amazing , i really have to play this one

that hive slayer is defo inspired by the hive hand in half life 1 lol, even shoots bugs and has the same firing modes (slow fire that homes in on target vs full auto non-homing)

I've played this game for over 90 hours & from what I've come across is this. You actually can unlock Secret Mode where you can use Shrine 1 weapons which is fun, but even harder than previous difficulty why? I think you either have to beat this game on Nightmare Mode or Tusk Will Die Mode I really can't tell. I'm surprised so far no one has ever notice that Secret mode yet and post it here on KZfaq. It's to bad because I can't do video gameplay to show it off because I have no knowledge of how to do all this KZfaq stuff properly. Still, I hope you all had a great time playing this game & actually beat this in Hardest Difficulty of them all. :)

pagb666 just finished the whole mod and now you uploaded the video of it

Why does this look better than so many of those retro shooters that pop up on Steam? Are you sure this is a mod?

This really showcases some serious talent. I just started playing through it. It's amazing the amount of incredible mods are out there... makes buying a new video game seem like a waste of money. (...although I would buy a Scumhead game, pay back for such an amazing mod.)

Fun fact; the Hula Hoop boss is actually a Throne Angel. To quote Hellhorror.com's article on angel varieties; The Thrones serve as God’s chariot and "dispense his judgment" to carry out his desires for us. The Thrones are considered "heavenly governors, attempting to strike a balance between matter and spirit, good and bad."

The hulahoops are an actual angel described in dantes inferno. They are called thrones if I remember correctly

The gladiator arena goes by a LOT easier if you have the mortar and you use one of the damage multiplier powerups. You can flatten the big guys in just a few seconds each.

Very satisfying review. I'd like to the Aliens mod that is pictured on the back of the Doom: Tricks of the Doom Programming Gurus book.

So the hiveslayer is the hive hand with its primary and secondary reversed and no ammo regen

Now we're talking! Fascinating. Hope that it will be put on Steam, too. I'd pay for it.

9:33 "While crossing..." Unintended pun?

The most obvious soul-borne ref is a guy tossing you a key to your freedom from a hole in the ceiling

The lighthouse also emits a tune this is actually part of a numbers station.

This looks very interesting.

@19:44 I will always appreciate the use of Raul Julia Bison memes *chef kiss

Looks great. I enjoyed the first one for free on Steam, although it was a bit linear and the secrets were easy to find and not nearly enough of them. Recent Doom conversions have been great! Including Blade of Agony. Takes us old schoolers back!

The mod's intro gave me strong Dark Souls flashbacks.

I took the time to thumbs up for noting a weapon warms-up instead of cooling down.

18:36 Hey, I've seen those yeti things in EarthBound!

It looks super cool!!!

Thanks for this video .. Awesome

10/10 game lets me pet the demon doggos i summon.

13:36 So some medieval depictions of Angels had them as a set of Hoops with eyes centered around a Flame. You sir are fighting a Biblically accurate angel

13:36 old testament angels be like:

Wow first civvie then decino then you I love today

the pod bombs look like kelp shakes

You can use non upgraded judicator to reduce ammo consumtion while traversing river.

That hollahoop was an Ezekiel's Wheel.

Doom but instead of demons it's old testament angels which ironically is much more menacing

Thats a beautiful mod

You can get bloodrail earlier by one of the secrets

The wall patterns in this game hurt my eyes!!!!

half way through the video i forgot that this was a doom mod

Take a shot every time he says "mercifully"

The Hula Hoop boss that turns into a burning angel is actually a Bible reference because that's what it said angels look like at one point

3:36 that gun would trigger trypophobia (the fear of many holes in one spot or something like that)

EDIT: Back when I first made this comment two years ago, I was one of the many who held the erroneous belief that Azathoth's dreams have created reality as we know it. I won't delete this comment to pretend that I never held this belief, but I don't want anyone uninformed to see my previous statement and take it to be true.

No one: Icarus: "mercifully"

I like the part where you fought the camel 🐫 lol 😂

Wow, that looks like a fun mod.

"Fuck that thing in particular" Dont know why, but I always find it funny when you say something like this. Also: Jumpscare by way of pottery XD
