28 Aug 2021 » C-Dogs 1.0.1 Released, and Campaign Site!

We’ve had an amazing response to the 1.0 release last week! Thanks to all new and returning players for checking out C-Dogs 👏

As a few folks pointed out, attempting to run Wolfenstein from Windows Steam can crash the game. This release fixes that bug, as well as adding support for Linux Steam.

Last but not least, Zombie has set up a website for sharing C-Dogs campaigns, “Campaign Dogs”!

Here you can download, rate and share custom campaigns, as well as upload high score or speed runs!

Zombie runs the WolfSource / Wolf3D.net community, a big resource for Wolf3D modding. Please do check it out, especially considering that since C-Dogs SDL supports Wolf3D / Spear of Destiny, it also implicitly supports custom levels made for these games, so who knows … you might find a whole lot of new content available there!

If you want to be kept up to date, you can follow:

• @CDogsSDL for C-Dogs mapping and modding, and
• @wolf3dnews for Wolf3D related news

21 Aug 2021 » C-Dogs 1.0.0 Released!

This is a special release, including a built-in mod that allows C-Dogs to play Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny!

If you have Wolfenstein 3D or Spear of Destiny installed from Steam or GOG, they will show up in C-Dogs SDL as campaigns!

Alternately you can get the mission pack from the Downloads page, which includes the shareware Wolfenstein 3D episode 1.

This mod has been in the making for over a year, and along the way lots of features have been added, including vehicles!

C-Dogs SDL should have been version 1.0 long ago, but this big release was the excuse to finally do it 🍾

Which brings me to sad news; C-Dogs SDL is going into hiatus 😔 While it’s been really fun working on this game since 2013, I’m ready to move onto different projects. This doesn’t mean a complete stop; there will be occasional bug fixes and the like.

Happy gaming!

20 Jul 2021 » C-Dogs 0.13.0 Released!

This release brings a fresh new look to C-Dogs! Last release we added a chaingun sprite; this release adds weapon sprites for all weapons, which lets you see at a glance what guns the enemies are holding:

Pretty neat huh? There are also some AI enhancements, particularly around waking up:

• Add peripheral vision
• Wake on hearing gunfire nearby
• Wake on seeing someone being attacked

So you can do things like catch a sleeping enemy by sneaking around behind it! Try it out 🥳

21 May 2021 » C-Dogs 0.12.0 Released!

A new release is ready! This release fixes a bunch of bugs, including LAN multiplayer which was broken in recent releases, but we also manage to pack in a bunch of little features and enhancements, like…

Dual-wielded pistols!

Chaingun and pistol in-game sprites!

…and more. Thanks to @nixinator, @sumater, @viki-t-s and @chack05 for reporting bugs and suggesting features.

As always, happy gaming! 🥳
