Gloom Busters

[Captain J]

I've been wondering how to add that without making the game cluttered or too easy, maybe a random death state will do the trick?

Yes, that would be the trick. But not often.

Just like in real life, you'll be able to choose to use love or violence against your foes, and just like in real life, both will have consequences (if I can figure out how to implement it)

Altfire would do the trick. And if you know even more tricks about inventories and states, you can make its determination switchable.

Also i've made this fan character from the blue soda can i've made before. For tribute? For suggestion? Heck if i know! Just implement her whatever you like!

[Skelegant]

Very nice, thanks Cap! I've redrawn her in my style, along with another related character: http://orig00.deviantart.net/bbc6/f/201 ... al13xq.png

PEP

NOT PEPSIMAN

[Captain J]

Oh my sweety, thanks for that! Your style is much better than mine too. Also i actually wanted to name her something pepsi-related, of course. But couldn't do it because i'm kinda overreacting over the copyright stuff.

But hey, at least she gained her cold 'n cool friend!

[Skelegant]

Yeah, it's wise to be careful about copyrights, especially with a company as big as pepsi, however I'm not making and selling chilled beverages so I can probably get away with using a similar name (mind you if I was in India I could get away with calling them whatever I like, the branding laws are pretty slack over there, at least in certain areas)
Anyway, here's some new characters:

so far I've finished all their sprites except the one on the left

[SimonTheDigger]

They look pretty cool. The lady on the far left kind of reminds me of Prof. Birkin from Resident Evil 2, and I bet the fellow with the axe and the fellow in the purple suit from one of your previous updates would get along famously.

[Skelegant]

Main file has been updated with textures and music. I also added a few new opponents including Bateman I MEAN a totally generic office worker who is in no way inspired by American Psycho

[Captain J]

Thanks for the neaty update! But i still cannot get use to enemies item dropping rate. Sometimes i get no ammo and weapons from them at all.

[Skelegant]

That'll be fixed eventually, I'll make a bunch of randomspawners so no matter what they drop, you're guaranteed to at least get something
Also, if you get around to it, could you let me know your thoughts on the homing tank bombs and explosive business cards (used by the rev replacements)? I just need some feedback so I can fine tune their movements a bit to make them less cheap lol

[Captain J]

Oh, those guys? They are just fine and reasonable. Business cards are very aggressive, but deals less damage. So i'm fine with that. Except the tank bomb; it deals heavy damage and moves so fast. It would be nice if i can destroy it.

Also broccoli doesn't have its pickup message too.

[Skelegant]

Tank goes slower now (it's timed too, outrun it for long enough and it'll detonate on its own) and the broccoli should have a pickup message now (I added the old dehacked messages file so I might need to change some parts) I also added a random item spawner, so now most enemies drop random cool stuff, including a few rare powerups.
Plus I replaced the arachnotron with a positron wand lady, and replaced most of the decorations.

[edit] I should also change the railguns at some point, as they currently lag the game horribly when used in an open space

Oh yes, i've had some lag issue with it as well.

Anyway i also should mention that revenant replacing fellows are very slow unlike vanilla revenant. But i understand if it's not suppose to follow doom logic too much.

[Skelegant]

Weapon particles have been fixed, manc and knight have been replaced, and enemies now drop cookies as well as other stuff. I'm trying to make some kind of currency system where you use cookies to buy stuff from certain props (like the soda machines) but at the moment it's just cookies and a semi-broken ACS script
The manc replacement is pretty rad tho

[Captain J]

Hatred technology as its finest! Also i bet he's going to do some volley of hatred chucks!

[Skelegant]

All monsters have now been replaced, the cookie system works, and there's a few vending machines you can buy stuff from (also Stephanie Segal's hiding somewhere waiting to teach you her sick moves for a reasonable price)
There's still a few things I need to polish, and a lot of extra fun stuff I want to add. For now, have a pic of the archvile replacement

[Captain J]

Are those black chunks with teeth are effect or actual monsters? Also it really looks scary without eyes stuck on everywhere, i just wonder what kind of attack it'll have!
