Making of Catacomb 3-D

[p]John Romero reunites the four founding members of id Software and takes them back to 1991 to relive the creation of Catacomb 3-D. Most people don't know the historical importance of this game but it was the first texture-mapped first-person shooter. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]You might wonder how this relates to Wizordum. Wizordum was primarily inspired by Catacomb Abyss, the successor to Catacomb 3-D. In many ways, Wizordum would not exist without Catacomb 3-D and neither would Wolfenstein 3D.[/p][p][/p][p]I hope you'll enjoy this short documentary as much as we did![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]In regards to hacked Discord account and Emberheart Games server that happened at the start of January - One week following the unfortunate event, Discord Support returned the account to me and the server with all its history is safe. I've updated the security measures to prevent events like this in the future. Thank you all for your big support I've received at that time.
[/p][p]You're welcome to join the server again in case you've jumped the ship![/p][hr][/hr][p]We have more great news to share shortly so stay tuned![/p][p][/p][p]~ Primoz[/p]

⚠️ Security Notice – Compromised Discord Account

Hello everyone,

I want to inform you that my Discord account (admin of Emberheart Games server) has been compromised and taken over by an unauthorized third party. This individual currently has access to my account, including my friends list and the whole Emberheart Games Discord server.

The attacker is impersonating me and sending private messages and server announcements that contain links or files, often claiming they are projects or work associated with me. These messages are malicious and do NOT come from me.

Please note:
  • ❌ Do not click any links
  • ❌ Do not download any files
  • ❌ Do not trust messages claiming to be from me on Discord

I am working with Discord support to resolve this situation. Until further notice, please consider any Discord message from my account or server to be unsafe. I greatly appreciate everyone who is helping out by warning others about this breach and for keeping everyone safe.

Thank you for your understanding, and I’m very sorry for the problems and concern this may cause.

[p]We got some reports that Mod.io Steam authentication is not working, making the user content unavailable (email authnetication option worked as an alternative).[/p][p][/p][p]At first we believed this was connected to recent Steam server issues but after further inspection we've learnt that the problem was on our end, introduced with the previous patch. [/p][p][/p][p]Steam Authentication option should now be back and working![/p][p][/p][p]We apologize for the invonviniences this caused to you and thank you for your reports and patience.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy New Year and all the best in 2026! :cc_explosion:[/p]

Patch v1.2.01

[h2]Fixes[/h2]
  • [p]Wrong icon and display name for the Dagger in Weapon Wheel menu[/p]
  • [p]Winter's End Tomb secret can't be opened[/p]
  • [p]Dagger "Raw Mana" red glow effect offsetted[/p]
[p][/p][p]We are aware of the gamepad issues and we will get on that first thing after the holidays.[/p][p][/p][h2]User Content & Modding[/h2][p][/p][h3]Custom weapon sprites[/h3][p]We shadow-dropped support for custom weapon sprites. Since this feature is new, it's not 100% there yet, but you can already change sprites for most of the weapons. We don't have this in the editor's guide so if you want to learn how, come around our Discord.
[/p][h3]Mods you should check out![/h3][p]While there are lots of great user-adventures available (have you played Halloween entries yet?!) you should definitelly check these two out first. [/p][p][/p][p]Holiday Special (link)[/p][p]This is the most Christmasy Wizordum mod available and it is full of excellent references and funny moments. You won't be able to put it down![/p][p][/p][p]Return to Wolfendum (link)[/p][p]Why play Wolfenstein in Wizordum, you ask? Because you’ve probably never fought *********** before. Well, you probably have. But that will never be not fun, right? This is a wonderful tribute to Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny. This is also the first mod that is utilizing custom weapon sprites.[/p][p][/p][p]Hope you'l enjoy! ;)[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for playing Wizordum!!! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!! ːsnowflakesː[/p]
