as the maintainer of the Realm667 Beastiary - the (hopefully ) N°1 source for all new monster needs in case you can't draw or script your own - I am always looking for new material, that's when I thought:
Time for a Contest!
Most of us Doomers aren't able to create decent sprites, as it's a very hard thing. Edits on already created sprites, recolors or patchworks are more common then what Vader, Scuba Steve and Eriance are capable of. But what about the code itself?
In my eyes, a good monster isn't only if it catches the players attention, a good monster is as well a monster that acts different and makes up for a good challenge when the player faces it the first time.
For this contest, the main aim isn't simply to create a nice recolor, patchwork or cool new sprites, the main aim is to create a monster with an interesting behaviour, cool and challenging attacks or something that you haven't seen in Doom yet (but maybe in other games?)
So what are the rules?
- Save your monster and all the necessary data in one WAD
- You MAY add new sounds (recommended)
- You MAY add complete new sprites (recommended)
- You MAY use sprites from Blood, Duke3D, Wolf3D, Doom1/2, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Shadow Warrior, Blake Stone (and variants such as skin edits) as well as alter, recolor or create a patchwork between several monsters (recommended)
- You have NO decorate limits
- MUST work with the latest GZDoom release!
- You MAY submit more than only 1 contribution
- You MAY use paletted PNGs
Cheers, Fun & Good Luck,
Torm
