BiasedDoom 4.15.3

BiasedDoom 4.15.3

This release focuses on atmosphere, third-person aiming, procedural Doom maps,
and compatibility with menu-heavy gameplay mods.

Highlights

• Reworked hardware fog with sky integration, height falloff, turbulence,
  horizon weighting, quality levels, and six ready-to-use presets: Disabled,
  Map Enhanced, Natural Haze, Cinematic Layers, Dense Horror, and Directional
  Dusk.
• Improved chasecam aiming with exact or adaptive shot-impact crosshairs,
  view-edge clamping, distance-based reticle sizing, hostile/friendly colors,
  and crosshair-aware chasecam presets.
• Added a complete Procedural Game menu with persistent seeds, themes,
  difficulty and size choices, deterministic replay, one-click random maps, and
  direct single-player launch.
• Kept Procedural Game accessible when mods such as Brutal Doom replace the
  main menu. Oversized list menus now support mouse-wheel, arrow, Page Up/Down,
  Home, and End navigation.
• Rebuilt procedural generation around a progression-safe mission graph with
  staged key branches, non-bypassable lock edges, optional limbs, same-stage
  loops, hubs, arenas, outdoor landmarks, and real secret reward rooms.
• Greatly expanded room variation with eight dimension profiles, five corner
  profiles, multi-cell layouts, varied floors and clear heights, progression
  palettes, semantic accent materials, and role-aware decoration.
• Rebalanced encounters and supplies with gentler room caps, delayed heavy
  tiers, guaranteed weapon milestones, stronger major-fight ammunition, and
  improved health/armor support.
• Fixed tall door artwork repeating vertically. Door art is now centered across
  narrow openings and fitted once across high openings.
• Added a detailed implementation and evaluation paper at
  docs/engine/procedural-generation-research-paper.md.

Downloads

• Linux: use the AppImage for the simplest portable launch, or the .tar.gz
  package for a conventional extracted directory.
• Windows x64: extract the MinGW zip and run biaseddoom.exe.
• A supported IWAD such as DOOM2.WAD is still required.
• Every binary archive has a matching .sha256 file.
