Seemingly overnight, DOOM: The Gallery Experience has exploded in popularity. Yesterday I was getting texts from friends about them seeing TGE on Twitter thanks to accounts posting clips. They were getting tens of thousands of interactions, which is super insane to me. This morning, I woke up to media coverage and dozens of notifications across all of my socials. @CreechMagoo and I are at a loss for words and genuinely don't know how to respond.
There's a shocking amount of fantastic news articles out there already, including ones by VG247, Polygon, and PCGamer.
In less bombastic news, I've updated the game to 1.2.0! Besides bug fixes, this release adds gamepad support and the automatic saving of your options and medals. You can play on here, over on itch.io, or download the standalone Windows version. The standalone version also has a manual written by Newgrounds' own @ErasmusMagnus included as a bonus!
I've received a lot of kind words both through my socials and Newgrounds reviews, and they mean a lot to me. I try and read each and every one. Thank you so much for being interested in this little student project.
