Hunter’s Moon 3.0 Standalone

Hunter’s Moon 3.0 Standalone is a standalone package of a remarkable Doom mod that combines iconic elements from Quake III Arena, Serious Sam, and Doom.

Developed by Zanieon and delivering an unique experience highly praised by fans of first-person shooters. Hunter’s Moon is a mod designed for Doom (GZDoom and LZDoom) that features impressive graphics, engaging gameplay, and an original campaign that serves as a tribute to the classics that shaped the FPS genre, such as Quake, Serious Sam, and Doom itself. In short, Hunter’s Moon is essentially the single-player campaign Quake III Arena never had.

Hunter’s Moon 3.0 Standalone is an older yet independent distribution of the acclaimed mod, designed to run exclusively with free components. This makes it a more accessible and lightweight alternative for fans of Doom and classic FPS games.

This package was created to make it easier for players unfamiliar with loading mods on GZDoom or LZDoom. Simply locate the included .BAT files and double-click them to dive into the frantic action of the Hunter’s Moon universe.

Why Doom as the base?

According to the creator, Zanieon, Hunter’s Moon was developed on the Doom Engine because of its ease of programming, accessible tools for map creation, and native support for PvE modes. Additionally, the extensive library of custom maps available for Doom made the engine an ideal choice, especially compared to the challenges of working with id Tech 3.
