A separate branch of Cynic Games dedicated to games, source port modding, and real-time shader development. From professional-grade GZDoom shader suites to legacy mods that have been played by thousands — this is where the interactive work lives.
Professional Post-Processing.
Built for Classic Doom.
The Cinematic Shader Suite is a comprehensive, professionally engineered post-processing shader pack for GZDoom, LZDOOM, and UZDOOM source ports. Designed to bring modern cinematic rendering techniques into classic Doom gameplay without compromise — modular, fully configurable, and performance-aware.
Classic Mods
Released mods for Doom II via ModDB — individual shader and utility releases that preceded the Cinematic Shader Suite. Each one is a standalone GZDoom mod, free to download.
Stylized directional motion blur post-processing shader. Velocity-based streaking with chromatic aberration, depth-aware weapon masking, and five preset modes. Complete rewrite with proper movement detection.
Dynamic screen-space lens flare system. Transforms bright light sources into rich cinematic camera artifacts using brightness thresholding, multi-ghost rendering, and streak generation.
Chromatic aberration and radial blur shader combining RGB channel separation with screen-edge distortion. Produces an aggressive analog camera lens effect with configurable intensity and spread.
Feature-rich HUD minimap and radar system for GZDoom. Real-time automap rendering, enemy tracking, waypoint system with cursor placement, fullscreen mode with time freeze, and deep console configurability.
