Spaced Out! is a mod for registered Wolfenstein, made by Thomas Weiling with coding changes by AlumiuN. It was released on April 9, 2021.
Genesis[]
With unrealised projects such as LabWolf, Lab Assault and TEK, which all merge mutants, robots, technology, outer space, laboratories, 80's/90's computer aesthetic, vaporwave, rocket science, nuclear power and alternate history, the mod took all those ideas and gathered them somewhat into a single stream. The bulk of the mod was made over two weeks in February 2021. The project was started on a whim, with heavy inspiration from older mods with similar themes such as Blake Wolf, Mutant Blobs from Uranus, Alien Wolf and Area 51.
Level 6 takes place in actual outer space and was very much a tip of the hat to Raw Meat level 2.
Description[]
8 new levels are featured. The mod takes place in outer space and is very much a departure from Thomas' most other mods, which lean heavily on classic Wolfenstein 3D. The mod was inspired by Blake Stone, Corridor 7 and DOOM though there is a definite Wolfenstein 3D feel to it as well, mainly by way of the final boss, Professor Quarkblitz.
Contents[]
The mod is built upon AlumiuN's EXE which most recently brought Another Boring Map Set. As such, most noteworthy features are God mode, increased ammo and a handful of new enemies.
Most graphics are featured in other mods, many inspired by Corridor 7 and Blake Stone, with the majority stemming from either Majik Monkee or Ben Blaufarb. There is also a guard featured, sporting an uzi, a well known actor sprite made by MrWolf. Gerolf assisted with some reworked weapons from Blake Wolf, in addition to beta testing the mod.
Many AdLib sounds have been changed, together with the music and a number of sounds. Many of the sounds were either found in a handful of shareware games Thomas played in his formative years, including Worms 2, TOTO Interactive Quest and Ten Pin Alley. Some sounds were reworked, using scrambled classic rock and progressive rock first heard in Stranded.
The levels all take place in a huge space station, with the odd foray into actual outer space and an eventual encounter with a crazed Professor Quarkblitz. The storyline features an alternate universe in which the Germans came out of WWII victorious, with a handful of new technology and quests at their disposal, including venturing into space.
