Welcome to Siren, a mod built on ID's latest tech demo 'Doom II'
This aims to be an experience closer to an 'Aliens' game but with the variety and gameplay benefits the rosta of Doom monsters brings
This is a slower, more perilous mod that aims to tell its story through its own set of levels.
Thanks for looking. Any feedback would be great.

- Flares can be picked up again after throwing.
- Hunter has Xdeath state.

Reskinned most monster sprites for a super hi-def 2x resolution.
Mod now has 2 maps.
New OST from PrimeEvil. (Level 2).
Imps have a new chase and jump logic that should enable them to get to your position more accurately. (Look out for bugs). They should no longer end up stood on top of each other.

Changelog 4.0
Work on the level ending which leads into the next level nicely.
Lots of texture fixes, polishing and small additions to level.
1st level considered complete, barring minor texture work and alignment of which I'm sure there will be many.
Painfully reshaded the imps for very little difference.
No need to disable auto aim in gzdoom. Added 'noautoaim' flags to weapons as, frankly, it's game breaking in this mod.
Ledgegrab/ climb by dodopod added as a replacement for double jump.
Jump and kick will do extra damage in melee.
More pickup sprites and sounds replaced
Shotgunners more reactive and deadly.
Chaingunners even more deadly.
Imp's ceiling behaviour tweaked to stop them moving between ceilings of vastly different heights.
'SpriteShadow' by Nash integrated
Again, more work with sounds with properly allocated channels to stop certain sounds being cut off. New sounds here and there.
Found a way to really reduce monster active sounds (particularly the sergeants) that really get annoying when there's a few monsters active.
Moved rifle to slot 4 and minigun to slot 5. I appreciate this could be unpopular, but with less than 10 weapons, there's no need to double up on weapon slots.
Some reload animation tweaks.
Reloading the rifle now doesn't take an entire clip.
