Hedon is an experimental mix of classic and modern action game design running on the GZDoom Engine and bearing bits of inspiration from titles such as Hexen, Unreal or Arx Fatalis.
➣ Sprawling levels that offer a degree of freedom and don't hold the player's hand. Exploring, hunting secrets, backtracking, patience and having to figure out what to do next is key. Monsters and pickups are hand-placed and vary according to the difficulty you play on.
➣ Original story packed with lots of lore and doubled by a permeating atmosphere. Intensive attention to detail and world building.
➣ Gory, fast paced shooting, a solid arsenal of weapons and magic items. Combat is projectile-based, movement is essential, enemies are unique and vary in type and abilities.
➣ Original soundtrack ranging from tense to serene ambient, spiced up with bursts of metal. Also, did I mention the legendary Alexander Brandon? If you enjoyed the Unreal and Deus Ex soundtracks, you're in for a treat!
➣ Thousands of hours of work put into an original concept, digitally hand-drawn graphics (textures, sprites, frame by frame animations etc.), scripting, sound effects and level design, all by a one man dev team aiming to create a unique game with a unique atmosphere.
➣ Six to eight hours of good 'ol singleplayer action with five difficulties including Brutalizing, which changes the gameplay to allow interesting second playthroughs (different fights & pick-ups, companions etc.).
➣ It's very light on storage (under 300mb) and well optimized. It's also portable so no DRM and no online ties either - you buy it, it's yours!

Hey guys, you can buy the game here:

Karloff does not deserve to smell my shit!
You should also check out Wrath: Aeon of Ruin.
and heres the itchio page: zanthebonebreaker.itch.io/hedon
GmanLives Wonder if this game will ever come onto GOG.
GmanLives
You should realllllly research the history of this game(its based on futanari erotica i think?) before you talk about how hot Zan is. I'm not here to kinkshame but, uh, afaik the creator of the mod himself either makes or commisions erotic art of her which stopped my research pretty quickly after i started running across them and they seemed to be official.
So uhhhh yeah either Gman likes futa girls or he didn't do his homework. Again.
Secret golden third option: Don't talk about how sexy a video game character looks in a public forum...
Looking forward to Hardon where you crush enemies with your thighs
Wouldn't mind
Yes.
That would be nice
The best way to die
Xenia Onnatopp approved!
I remember following you a good number of years before even thinking about getting into game development. Seeing my thing here still feels pretty surreal now. Thanks a lot for covering it, dude.
The only thing I need to mention is that at 3:40 it's not Alexander Brandon's track per se, it's a cover of his Underworld by Shivaxi and Xenofish :^)
Wow, I cannot believe the official creator of the game is on Gman video!
It's incredible what you yourself have acheived with Hedon, but I got a question.
Why you decided to use the Doom Engine? It's not because I find it a bad engine, but because of what this review showed me, it seems like your game would benefit more if it used another more powerful one.
Congratulations for your game nonetheless!
@@lonelyheartproductions5237 GZDoom is actually pretty spot on for what I had in mind. The limitations it has kinda help out when you're a one man dev team because you don't need to invest a lot of time into pointless fancy graphics and detail, and focus what truly matters regarding a classic inspired game. Also, it felt like a good place to start considering I had 0 game development or programming experience when I began working on it.
Although I came back and added a lot of polish to the first maps, they show how Hedon and my skills evolved during development. I worked on it level by level meaning that when I'd finish a level, it usually had all the assets and scripts it required too, so this results in things like how monsters and weapons are slowly introduced because of my work style and flow. That's also why the first monsters look crappier for example, because I usually got better along the way. It also shows in the graphics and audio improving, with Akhzul (Hedon's dedicated OST composer) starting to make soundtracks along me finishing the levels - Cold Rock is both my first map and his first OST, so yeah, we pretty much started from 0 and improved along the way.
One thing has never varied or changed and that's the mentality with which I went into this. I never wanted Hedon to appeal to the mass or God forbid the market, but be a purely subjective experience cultivating things that the triple A industry no longer has the balls or interest to do.
It's "hee-done" not "head-on", right? 😂😂
@@dizzysic2587 No, it's "head-on", as in a head on approach.
I wish I could pin this comment to shut up the 50 people who commented on how I “mispronounced” it.
*Anxiously awaiting the Huniepop review*
But seriously, anybody willing to put in 2 years of their life into something should be able to make some money off of it, especially if it's a retro shooter that's actually fun to play.
Yeah like you see people just drawing furries oc's for hundreds sometimes. If they can make money drawing why cant you make money making games.
@@colt2561 after thinking about it thats true as fuck
@@colt2561 Because people love to make politics out of the dumbest shit possible.
Shitty ""game""
I don't understand it even being an issue.
It's clearly its own game, looks fun, $15. ??
Then again, I am biased.
Only thing I have to bitch about is that I don't have $2,000 to spend on a PC right now. 😝

Nice joke. I'm going to Hedon out now.

Ultimately, this is how the demon issue even started.

Since you brought up Doom, do you think Succubus enemies would fit the game as foes?
@@drivanradosivic1357 Not really. Olivia Pierce already represents how meaningless the term 'sexy' is in 'blood & gore'-full Doom.
@@asdtgh8895 . . . . OLIVIA PIERCE IS A FRAKING CRIPPLE NOT A SEXY LADY LIKE ZEN!
apologies for the outburst. But seriously though, Succubus enemies in Doom as fooder or minibosses could work.
Testament to John Carmack, 25 years and his engine still makes for good games.
If anyone wants the source of that fanart gman used just look up Ganassa.
I ain't ashamed to admit it's one of the few artists whose work I can recognize on sight.

i'm probably about halfway through this game and i love it to bits. as for the money aspect of it - a LOT of work has gone into it and that's really all that should count. support for this kind of thing should absolutely not be a problem, regardless of what shoulders it was built off of.
Paid mods are cringe bro
On the topic of paying for mods. I think you can charge for them if you don't use doom itself or any of its assets. Basically you can't charge for a mod like brutal doom but hedon is fine
Yep. A good example of this is Strife.
@@DracXBelmont That, and Hexen, Heretic, Shadow Warrior Classic, Blood
Yes, because if you don't need to own some other game to run it, it's not a mod. It's a game.
@@AdamX21198 Those are all Build engine games, but yeah, the point remains the same.
@@dotanuki3371 There are plenty of standalone mods of games, though. You don't need Half-Life for Counter Strike, for instance.
Wasn't it Eric Brosius who did the Thief music? Terri was his wife who voiced SHODAN
As always, thanks for the frequent and absolutely awesome videos! You easily have one of the best gaming channels on RUclips.
GZDoom is under GPL v3 license which allows them to use it in a commercial setting, they have that right as long as any modifications to the source code are published under the same license.
i get the opposing opinions about it being a TC mod then being sold, but honestly, i see this a way to directly support the creator and it continues to bring more retro throwback shooters to the consumer market, potentially inspiring more works to do the same
Considering the amount of work put in such a TC I think it's definitely justified to end up simply making it as a full game you can sell. Plus it's not like they go around the internet to find and C&D every single upload of the previously free versions.
This game is so fucking good! Loved it since I played it when it was only a mod. Thanks for covering it dude, it needs more exposure
Doom style gameplay on GZDoom engine, OST composed by Alexander Brandon, Linux support: SOLD!
Bro, you have a bad taste in thicc
The thickest waifu has to be the Mancubus
CHONKY >:O

You like it big, you like it chunky
Thanks for the review! I saw this on steam and was curious about if it!
There's plenty of games that use an engine of a different game, but the devs still deserve to be paid for their work
Paid mods are cringe bro
@@AlphaCarinae if this is a mod then every source engine game is a mod of half life
@@Hello-lf1xs Well yes they are?
@@AlphaCarinae so Team Fortress 2 is a Half Life 2 mod?
i know its an old video, but something people should realize is that with the Toxic Cloud variant of the Potion Launcher, shooting fire or some sort of explosive into the cloud makes it explode in an area
also the spike rifle, crushbow, and potion launcher all have alternate firemodes. the potion launchers alt fire makes the potions bounce
Haven't seen your video description/quick review at first. Great idea!
I saw that *T H I C C* tag...
I couldn't help myself, had to see. (Not disappointed)
played this mod, bought on Steam, hope the retail version will be worth my money. One of the rarest cases where devs throw old classic names as "inspiration" and you can clearly see it. Hedon feels like Arx Fatalis in reverse, where you start from the bottom levels (there were slaughter on last level, and it's dwarfs domain, forges etc.) to upper levels.
Alexander Brandon ftw. made soundtracks for my childhood (like Deus Ex which was like X-Files The Game for me back then).
Also - give some love for Ashen2063, it's great.
That music is killer af
If you bought Ion Maiden then you technically bought a "Duke Nukem 3D mod"
I mean if the metagame is so vastly different, content so high-quality, etc, it doesn't matter if it was free or not, do what DooM 1 did and release a shareware episode.
*_Bring Back The Game Demos!_*
Ion maiden is made in EDuke32, a source port of the build engine. Might be stretching the definition there.
@@Keanotix For sure, they just made a new game on an old open source engine, totally do-able, Hedon just does the same thing.
Now how can I do this? I could make a free or 99 cent Itch.io game with completely new mechanics, but I don't know how some people get a hold of GZDoom source code or get proper rights to modify it and then use it for commercial purposes. Is it still commercial if it's released for free even though it would draw attention to maybe my social media where I would essentially be shilling other games that are being sold?
@@AdamX21198 The Doom engine is under the GNU General Public License, which means that derivative works (Like source ports) has to be the same and all source code changes be publicly available or available on request.
You're allowed to use the engine and make games to sell, but you need to make public any changes to the engine and any end user is entitled to modify and redistribute your altered source code under the same conditions.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Terms_and_conditions
All content, such as maps, sounds, models/sprites are the creators legal property and thus not subject to the GNU terms. So what you're selling is that stuff.
@@Mutant1988 So how does this work for say, Ion Maiden? Afaik it's made using a modified version of EDuke32, which is a modified Build Engine to work on modern systems (I think...)?
You sold me the instant you said Thicc Orc Waifu
every time i hear Alex brandon i remember jazz jackrabbit2
Just finished my first run of this yesterday. I had an absolute fucking ball with it. Game felt like it was made especially for me. Excellently designed and varied environments? Check. Fun weapons? Check. Rockin' soundtrack? Check. Pasty cultists to explode with a well placed axe throw? Check. Thicc goblin and orc gals with lewd hidden imagery? Check! Best $10 I've ever spent.
Thank you for covering this game, bought the steam version immediately after this review and never looked back :) wouldn't of tried this game without seeing this review!
Finally, a protagonist I can relate to. I must eat a plate of ribs to celebrate now.
But in all seriousness, I hope this gets more attention. Looks highly underrated and refreshingly original for a throwback FPS.
Head on, apply directly to the forehead!
Goteem
I was curious to know how many comments I would have to scroll through to find this.
@@lordkuso2710 Apply directly to deez nuts?
DasBoSchitt reference, right?
@@insanejughead Nah, I'm referencing the old Head-On commercials
Love the vids man. keep em comming.
Thanks for covering this! Never heard of it before. Seems right up my alley. Really incredible what even one guy can do with the DOOM2-engine. Love the look of the game. I'll probably wait until it's on sale (preferably on GOG), but will definitely buy it.
Greetings from Germany! :-)
Beat this game a few weeks ago. It's honestly amazing
Hedon! Apply directly to the forehead!
I thought I was the only one that immediately got reminded of that.
Dammit! I was hoping I thought of it first!
The Toxic fart gas can be lit aflame with the fragfire, creating a massive fireball that is utterly devestating.
Man I love seeing how Doom engine just never dies. I am also surprised Total Chaos mod isn't getting as much attention as it deserves, as it is just something no one could ever imagine possible to be done in GZDoom engine.
I'm curious if those who complain about having to buy this 'mod' complained about the same thing with games like Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat and a whole bunch of games that started as mods.
I thought tf2 was free
@@Mcdude02 It's still monetized with plenty of buyable items. It wouldn't be TF2 without the HATS.
@@Mcdude02 TF2 started out as pay to play. It became free to play in 2014 I think.
Not to mention that plenty of commercial games have used the Doom engine. Calling this a Doom mod is like calling Deus Ex an Unreal mod.
McDude Man, I remember when TF2 was paid but not monetized to shit with microtransactions and gambling.
I’m both old and from a better time.
This game is great. I got it on Steam and played through the campaign before seeing your video here. It's silly that people bitch about the free mod thing as there is a ton of work in this and Zan deserves compensation for it, especially with more levels coming.
what do you mean you got it on steam?
zanthebonebreaker.itch.io/hedon#download
you can download it for free. its a TC mod for doom 2. mods cant be sold.
Paid mods are cringe bro
Ten years making that full-on original game from the Doom engine.
I've been itching to do something similar for a few years now, but there's just no way I can manage to put ten straight years into such a project.
Making a whole video game as a solo project is hard, but I can never manage to stay focused on one game idea for long enough to turn it into a reality.
Mad props to this guy for pulling off what I never could.
I personally loved this project, and the amount of work that has gone into it's presentation and lore is phenomenal for a mod. Definitely agree it needs more attention.
Are there actually people who are upset that the dev is charging money for 2 years of incredibly hard work? The dev is a madlad for giving so much of the game away for free. Even the demo on Steam is huge. Only someone who has never actually tried to make something could feel that way. Artists need to eat too you know. Would you rather this guy was flipping burgers, or would you rather he had more time to make more awesome stuff like this?
Considering all the assests are original, it's less like a mod and more like a separate game using the same engine.
Dear gmanlives your videos are amazing great sense of humor its great to hear someone
Talk with such passion and knowledge of there interest and hobby thankyou
Gonna have to add this to my list of must play games.
Please do a Review of Russian Overkill (DOOM 2 mod)

Bought Hedon on a whim for $8 during a Steam sale, been taking my time and loving the shit out of this game.
Zan is best Orc/Demon babe, change my mind.
I wonder how many people actually do know what she is packing under that loincloth but hell yeah she's a bae!
Thank you, never ever seen anything about that Game.
Got it now on Gog and it is really well done.
Playing it at Night with Headphones is my Recommendation, the Atmosphere is just sooo good.
this game is awesome, your channel gives me life
“Head On” wouldn’t expect anything less from our Aussie lord
That pronunciation.
Just, I can't even.
Apply directly to the forehead
But that's exactly how it's supposed to be pronounced?
Isn't the word hedon pronounced heh-dun? Short dun.
Good review as always Gman. Keep on trucking.
2:50 that sudden change from dark tunnel to the bright outside felt like a flash granade
Last I heard, the dev added a "berserker" mode, a.k.a. melee only mode. Adds a bunch of new weapons as well.
You know he likes that orc/demon bae.🤫
too bad he doesn't know that she has a *D I C K*
So this is basically the story after H-Doom.
Thank you for introducing me to this.
You had me at "music by Alexander Brandon"
Hedon
Aply direcly to the forehead
This is Pequod my God that’s good
Putting a picture by Ganassa in your video is one of the quickest ways to my heart.
DUDE you gotta review it again when the final 10 levels come out. Should be done this summer!
I'm inordinately proud of myself for recognizing the Ed Wood soundclip.
It’s not a doom mod. It’s a total conversion. A completely diff game. Just for people who think it’s a mod
2:27 I see someone is a Ganassa fan.
Not gonna lie i miss your old intro it was so unique the one you got now is so simplistic. Wheres that turok 3 though?!
I hadn't actually heard of this before this video, it definitely looks like a great game. I might give it a look when I get paid.
Wouldn't it be pronounced "He-don" as in hedonist/hedonism?
ruclips.net/video/U_OGB4sNqSI/видео.html
It bothered me at first too, then I remembered that I've heard it pronounced with both a long and short E several times each. I assume both are correct.
HEDONISM APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD
@VoidKeeper HEDON, a municipal borough in the Holderness parliamentary division of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, 8 m.
According to tradition the men of Hedon received a charter of liberties from King lEthelstan, but there is no evidence to prove this or indeed to prove any settlement in the town until after the Conquest.
By it the king granted to William, count of Albemarle, free borough rights in Hedon so that his burgesses there might hold of him as freely and quietly as the burgesses of York or Lincoln held of the king.
Granted to Edmund, earl of Lancaster, and Avelina his wife, then lord and lady of the manor, the right of holding a fair at Hedon on the eve, day, and morrow of the feast of St Augustine and for five following days.
In 1280 it was found by an inquisition that the men of Hedon "were few and poor" and that if the town were demised at a fee-farm rent the town might improve.
It's "hee-dun", like in "hedonist". Gman linked to an incorrect pronunciation, making him wrong twice. Furthermore, he is pronouncing it with two long vowels in his video, which doesn't even match the pronunciation in the linked video, which is a long vowel followed by a short vowel.
Headon, apply directly to forhead.
Headon, apply directly to forhead.
That lance rifle thing reminds me a ton of the version of the Shock Rifle they whipped up for Unreal 2.
Fantastic game. Just played it through recently.
I thought the title said hdoom again
I mean let's be honest: Hdoom with all new assets could be quite fun.
I don't mind paid mods, but as long as these mods are quality tested and offer the price for the amount content you get out of the mod..
Yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind paying something for Falskaar, Helgen Reborn, New Vegas Bounties or Fusion City or similar mods, even large gameplay mods like Brutal Doom, Project Nevada or Requiem, just get that goddamn horse armor etc out of here...
Well from what i have played on the unpaid mod version is that its very high quality, first levels are a bit sluggish and confusing though
Paid mods are cringe bro
@@AlphaCarinae AKA you want more free shit as modders work day and night to satisfy your egocentric attitude without compensation?.
How cringe is that?.
@@Zoza15 why yes, everything should be free. that is a very good idea! a lot of people have been saying this for a while. however! i didn't say anything about "without compensation". everyone should be able to benefit from goods and services the community produces, and the community in turn should benefit from their own contributions.
Hey thanks for putting this video out. I am going buy the game because of it!
Looks like a good game and the fact that this is made with the Doom engine is impressive. It shows how advanced that engine was for it's time.
Wait... so you're telling me that there can be an old-school FPS throwback... and Andrew Hulshult *doesn't* need to make the soundtrack.
Man these Doom fans surely are contentious people.
MelancholicThug They (at least some of them) know what the hell they are doing.
my god the aesthetics look amazing
"Hedon: Apply directly to your PC."
I mean Half Life is just a Quake mod. Counter Strike is just a Half Life mod. Deus Ex is just an Unreal mod.
If we're going to call every game made in a preexisting engine a "mod" then just about everything is a mod.
It's only a mod if it requires some other game to run. While CS was a mod, you needed half life to play it. It then became it's own game. HL and DeusEx were never mods, the creators had acquired the rights to modify and distribute the engines, so you didn't need quake or unreal to play HL or DX.
Some random guy: "If this game is created in Doom engine - it must be free!"
But why? All levels, all weapons, all sounds are different - it's another game now!
Maybe all games created on Unreal Engine also have to be free because Unreal Tournament exist? :-)
Some people are just entitled assholes.
Paid mods are cringe bro
@@AlphaCarinae When you change ALL the assets - is that really a mod now? :-)
@@AlphaCarinae paid mods are cringe but if your "paid mod" is an entirely new game with different assets, weapons, characters, etc then you've made a new game its not really a mod anymore
Plus u can still play the mod for free
Don't forget this is just Episode 1!
Hedon: Apply directly to the demon's forehead!
so basically a new game on the doom engine with similar mechanics as expected, it's not too unreasonable for the guy to charge a bit of money but how much is up to the community to decide in time
My good sir, four long years have passed since you have left this comment on the virtual walls of the internet, and it is on this fateful day that your pertinent commentary receives the reply it deserves. Though I cannot pretend I know too much about this game, given that I am only four missions and ten hours into its progress, I can comment that it is not simply "a new game on the doom engine with similar mechanics". The game itself requires patience and immersion into the hellish, and at times peaceful and rustic, landscape. The atmosphere is dense as you search around an Orcish town for a specific key or an ingredient required to create a magical ink in the abandoned and war-torn alchemist's shop. Thus, it focuses much more on exploration and attention to detail than its inspiration and foundation, Doom. Rather, it reminds me much more of the stealth masterpieces, Thief: Gold and Thief 2: The Metal Age, which happen to be my favorite games and indispensable flavours of my soul. Similarly to the Thief games, Hedon asks you to bathe yourself in its world and atmosphere and to accept that deciphering the mysteries of the world requires a patient eye. I am also of the conviction that a game is as good as its story (if it has one), and Hedon presents the world gradually through visual cues and readable letters, private notes, books, and signs, a possible Thief inspiration. Yet what Hedon does differently is to somehow balance this exploration with moment of sheer action where you shoot down stubborn magicians and then fling a bloody axe at a hellish hound. I am not certain how it works, yet somehow the exploration and atmosphere, the adrenaline and violence, and the enchanting Orc women who are of a divine level of bravery and thickness, balance one another to create a novel and joyful experience. I also don't know why i just typed that whole thing in a dramatic British delivery but hey, life be weird like dat sometimes knawmean Anyway this is the end of the comment, think about what I said and never forget that the limits of your opinion, which was a mere stereotype of a more nuanced work of art, sparked an entire dialogue worlds apart because someone wanted to tell you that you are missing out if you don't discard your opinion and play this game. Dare to let yourself be changed by that which you do not know, this is my advice and the lesson I have learned by playing such games of beauty. Now taa-taa old chap TL;DR: Big Orc mommy / Extra thicc dummy / Exploration super yummy
Please do a review of Spec Ops the Line
Because you said please, now I will.
*“Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai”*
GmanLives sweet, can’t wait!
what can be said about that game that hasn't been said before, though?
Most pretentious and overrated game of the past few years.
This was my favorite game of 2019
absolutely great with Alexander on the soundtrack!
This looks sooooo good!
Shaming a developer for not making their own engine is like shaming an artist for not making their own canvas. Making something new and unique with someone else’s tools isn’t theft.
I never said it was.
Sweet, I just bought this game like four hours ago.
Hey Gman, Loved this review. Could I request you do a review for "BoneCraft" on steam, I was suprised to say the least when I saw what it was. lol
This game looks incredible, thanks for the review!
Enjoyed my time playing this game.
For a while now, I thought that gaming was dead. Triple A killed it. Glad to see that the indie scene is alive and well.
Mainstream Tripe A shits the bed!
That said, there are GOOD Triple A, double A/Middle Market and Indie games that are more deserving of your time and money.
That music. Noice!
There's a demo out now on steam, highly recommend it! The games pacing and level design is really oldschool yet unique, I think it serve's the dark fantasy theme well that you have to scour the map and pay attention to your surroundings to get through levels. It has more story/ world building than you'd think but not enough to get in the way of the hand drawn sprites or that curvy blue booty.
