==================
Story
==================

The Grinch seeks to steal Christmas from Arlia Village - a locale from a jRPG called Star Ocean 2!
(a remake was released November 2023, and it's 10/10 Steam-good!). This has homages to other IP's
such as Doom, as well - so you could say it's a four-in-one crossover (even a five-in-one)!

Anyway, as Ranger comes to think of it - the Grinch looks kinda like an Archvile. And seeing that
he's up to no good, it's time to put a stop to his evil plans - whatever that entails!

==================
Info
==================

Unzip this straight into your Quake directory - the mod folder sits straight inside the zip.
Load up the 'grinch' mod as you would any other mod. It comes bundled with a start map as well
to keep things simple. Should work with all modern source ports.

BUILD TIME - one week

Map source as well as the texture wad is included - use bits and pieces of this as prefabs
if you wish! If you use larger chunks of the level (as I myself reused my own village proper),
be sure to give credit.

  1. Version 1.1 - Rena's Healing fix

    Based on feedback, and me figuring out a handful of things - I've posted an update! Changes are...

Latest reviews

Nice map - I enjoyed buying into the festive theme, and appreciate the work that went into this.

In terms of gameplay, Shades has put out other stuff that's more to my liking, and I felt the final battle was a bit too long and drawn out, considering the small size of the arena.

Still, the pd_style monster building was tastefully done - I appreciate that while familiar monsters behaved quite differently, it was consistent and not overwhelming/confusing.

Not that I'd expect people who've played this one-off to give it another whirl, but feedback ahs led to an update!
Not the biggest fan of the last encounter but this was very cute, glad to have had one xmas-adjacent release for this time of year.

That final encounter is way less tanky, now. Plus other fixes!
Short but surprisingly Christmassy for all that (and a bonus mark for gremlins!)

It was always bugging me that the actual 'Rena' character was missing, but I found a way to add her!
A nice little new year gift with the only downer, that I couldn't stand the boss fight without god mode.
Thanx!

Yeah that fight has been slightly nerfed, now!
