DOS Reborn: The Robots are Reimagined!
wooooooooooow... speaking in my place... unbelievable...
MegaVile is largely correct, though- while most of the major players are still around, they've since moved onto other projects. We will probably upkeep it so it works with further versions and everything, but for now, it's in a solid spot that I'm largely happy with. unless i come up with a new Buoyman idea
A campaign has been floated every now and then and I can't lie and say it would be awesome to do one, but I haven't the slightest clue how that all works. I am now on the official devteam, so maybe I'll learn about how to do it from there and we can revisit the concept later, but I don't really want to tackle something that I have 0 idea how to do.
Regarding the skins, I think most of them are largely... fine? Medaru's work is generally stuff I'd consider to hold up very well, and I know he handled most of the skins. Are there any particular ones you'd be interested in seeing updated?

Freezer Bowl Fridays!
Whaddya mean September is already halfway finished? Sheesh...
This month's schedule is late, but better late than never! We took a week off to give folks a little time to play the much awaited indie-hit sensation Silksong, then played a more lowkey FBF on the 12th with some randomized layout Team Deathmatch. The two heavy hitters are Saxton Hale making a return and a newly tweaked Possession mode by BullGator! (I promise it's going to be more fun than the last time we tried it)
Hope you'll join us!

Freezer Bowl Fridays!
August is upon us, and that means another Freezer Bowl Friday schedule!
Things are a little less modification heavy this month as we try out some tried-and-true classics. We kick things off by trying the Hyperfighting mod made by Messatsu, which advertises some fun changes to the base movement and plenty of weapon tweaks. Skulltag makes an appearance in our second week before Scorched Earth—this time with custom weapons! To end things, we'll try out Weapon Master to see who can master single weapon matches!
I am aware the 29th is a Friday this month. If we decide to host another one that day, I'll make an appendix to this schedule!
Hope to see you there!

MM8BDM but your black
Just going to put this out there pre-emptively before anyone decides to post something stupid: behave yourselves.
Interesting mod. Does it do replacements by different shades and skintones, or does it just look for one color/range and replace it with one color?

Freezer Bowl Fridays!
Greetings all—it's the July edition of Freezer Bowl Fridays! Thankfully, no events were missed this time with the holiday last weekend. I hope to get these out on a more timely manner going forward! (We'll see how that goes...)
This month, we'll be taking a look at Mighty Deathmatch Burst, a new classes mod which has seen some play in recent months—and on the other end of the spectrum is Screw Scramble, a mod of the past making its grand return! We polish off the month with some rootin', tootin', Texan-Style shootin' in Gunslingers. Hope to see you all there!

Freezer Bowl Fridays!
Woof, sorry for the delay on this one. Here is the schedule for June's Freezer Bowl Fridays, with one coming up tomorrow! Apologies to all those who missed out on the Saxton one. Even if these schedules don't come out on time, joining our Discord is a good way to make sure you don't miss out on events like these!
Superbosses is fairly consistent theme of this month, with both Saxton and Terminator featuring supercharged players going up against other average Joes. We also feature some fun mods from yesteryear in Cutmanmike's classic Ghouls Vs. Humans in 8BDM form and Laggy Blazko's Instagib Springfield mod. Hope to see you all there!

Freezer Bowl Fridays!
Going to try something different this time (because I hate seeing a ton of threads for the same thing over and over lol) — I'm gonna put all Freezer Bowl news in this thread and post any schedules to the blog. Should work out the way I hope!
This month features quite a few LMS modes this time around. Given it's a popular game mode, that should come as no surprise. We also have a very important event for Memorial Day Weekend to commemorate one of 8-Bit Deathmatch's finest fights. Hope to see you there!
