FAQ

Q: What is this site about?

Hardcore Doom is a fan-owned modding and gaming site for various boomer shooters, most notably Id Software's Doom series of first-person shooters. We also have our own game called Malefact, which is currently in development.

On this site, you can browse through the library of user-made levels, campaigns, and mods, and even download tools and resources for making your own, should you feel so inclined. You can also submit your own levels and mods, and we will host and post them on the site for others to download.

Q: Are you affiliated with the official creators e.g. Id Software, Besheda, etc?

No, we are an entirely independent fan site.

Q: What games are supported?

Currently, we only allow content for the following list of games, but we have plans to expand this in the future:

Currently Supported:

  • Classic Doom (Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom)
  • Doom 64
  • PlayStation Doom (fan ports and TCs only)
  • Malefact (when released)

Possibly Supported in the Future:

  • Quake
  • Quake II
  • Doom 3
  • Half-Life
  • Rise of the Triad

Q: What is this Malefact game?

Malefact is our free first-person horror and fantasy boomer shooter built on the GZDoom engine. Visit this page for more details.

Q: How do I submit my mods to your site?

By default, we ask for permission before posting other people's content. However, with Doom (and other similar games) having such a massive library of content going back decades, asking for permission is not always feasible, as the original author may no longer be active or, in some cases, may have passed away. We consider content fair game for posting if it meets any of the following criteria:

  • We obtained permission from the author directly.
  • The author has already granted general permission for distributing their work.
  • The content falls under the category of legacy content, which we define as anything released 15 years ago or earlier.
