Unleash Hell in Ragecore
Step into Ragecore, a pulse-pounding boomer shooter that hurls you into a blood-drenched inferno where the screams of demons echo your name. Born from the raw, chaotic energy of DOOM (2016), Quake, DMC(3-5) and Ultrakill, this game drags you into a savage nightmare woven from the threads of Christian mythology. You are Harris, a grizzled, whiskey-soaked cowboy, cursed by fate to roam the fiery depths of Hell. Your mission? To claw your way to redemption through relentless hordes of demonic abominations, each one a testament to your unyielding fury.
Ragecore isn’t just a game—it’s a descent into a world where every shadow hides a threat, and every gunshot is a defiant cry against damnation. With retro pixel-art that pulses with grim style and an atmosphere thick with biblical dread, this is a journey crafted entirely by me, a solo developer.
Face frenzied firefights that demand precision and grit. Hell’s minions—grotesque, relentless, and born of nightmare—will push your trigger finger to its limits. Every encounter is a brutal dance of lead and brimstone, where hesitation means death.
Wield an arsenal forged for divine retribution. From the thunderous crack of a six-shooter to the righteous slash of a blade imbued with heavenly wrath, your weapons are extensions of your will to conquer the abyss. Upgrade your gear, master your aim, and turn demons to dust.
Explore haunting levels that drip with the terror of ancient prophecy. From sulfur-choked pits where the air burns your lungs to forsaken altars stained with the sins of the damned, each environment tells a story of despair and defiance.
Uncover hidden secrets and cryptic passphrases scattered across Hell’s landscape. Only the sharpest and most daring will decode the mysteries buried in the ashes, unlocking rewards that could tip the scales in your fight for salvation.
Ragecore is a saga of rage, redemption, and unrelenting resolve. It’s a world where the clink of spurs and the roar of gunfire blend with the wails of the damned. Load your revolver, keep your wits sharp, and carve your legend in the fires of Hell. Only the boldest will survive this cowboy apocalypse—will you prove you’ve got the grit to defy damnation?
Crafting the Cowboy Inferno
My vision for Ragecore is to forge an experience that sears itself into your soul. Every element—every gunshot that rumbles like thunder, every level that pulses with unholy dread, every demon you cut down—exists to immerse you in a hellish Wild West where survival is a personal triumph. As Harris, your choices shape a journey through a landscape of ash and despair, where every duel is a test of reflexes, strategy, and raw nerve.
From the haunting wail of a distant harmonica to the bone-rattling blast of a double-barrel shotgun, the soundscape of Ragecore pulls you deeper into its abyss. The levels, crafted meticulously by me, blend the rugged desolation of the frontier with the grotesque terror of biblical lore. Picture crumbling saloons lit by flickering hellfire, or desolate canyons where the wind carries whispers of ancient sins. Every detail, from the creak of a rusted gate to the grotesque design of your demonic foes, is built to make you feel like you’re fighting for your very soul.
This isn’t just a game—it’s a battleground where your willpower is your greatest weapon. I poured my heart into creating a world that challenges you to move faster, aim truer, and think smarter. Whether you’re dodging a demon’s claws or deciphering a cryptic rune to unlock a hidden vault, Ragecore demands everything you’ve got. Step into the inferno, cowboy, and see what one passionate developer can create alone.

About Developer
Biography
Hi! I'm NeX (Havoc NeX Lauri). I'm 16 years old, from Ukraine, and since childhood, I've dreamed of creating something of my own. I've always been passionate about programming, 3D design, and game development, spending countless hours learning new tools and technologies.
Right now, I'm working on my biggest and most ambitious project — the boomer shooter Ragecore. Ragecore is inspired by the atmosphere of hell and Christian biblical themes. Its protagonist is a cowboy-alcoholic who, despite his questionable past, embarks on a path of war against demons.
I'm drawing inspiration from iconic games like DOOM (2016), Quake, DMC(3-5) and Ultrakill to create a project filled with adrenaline, bloody action, and hardcore battles. I've been developing the game entirely on my own since November 2024: writing code, creating 3D models, textures, animations, and even voice acting.
For me, development is more than just work — it's a way to express myself, to pour my soul into every frame and mechanic. I love working on every detail to create a unique atmosphere and make the game unforgettable.
Beyond game development, I’m passionate about digital art. I draw concepts, design characters, build worlds, and stream my creative process. I enjoy sharing ideas and proving that even as a solo developer, you can create something amazing with enough passion and perseverance.
My dream is to make Ragecore a truly iconic game that finds its audience among fans of hardcore action. I want to inspire other developers, especially beginners, and show that game development is an exciting adventure open to anyone.
If you're interested in what I do or want to support me, feel free to reach out or follow me on my social media! I’m always happy to meet new people, have interesting conversations, and hear your feedback.
