Initially the mod was created as elaboration of Doom Remake 4 mod with a minor tweaks for my personal use. But moving forward, I made more and more changes and improvements. These changes aimed to restore the original game atmosphere, improving the graphics and increase a fun of gameplay without violating the original game spirit.
As a result, all of game resources were modified by me and a final result became very different from Doom Remake 4.
I decided to name my mod as Doom Remake 5 and make it publicly available in case anyone else likes for my improvements.
For detailed information about the changes, see a "Changelogs" spoiler below.
