ZDoom

Finished 100%ing the game, went through and got reference screenshots for everything. Updated the first post with the list. I even have a pretty good idea how I want a lot of these to work. I threw both Buff Totem and Hell Priest in the list. Even if I personally would use a faceless, anonymous Hell ...

That's why I was asking for opinions earlier; I'm considering moving the Buff Totem's function over to a possible Hell Priest monster.

They'd definitely work in Heretic as well, but I think they look sufficiently demonic (or at least zombie-like).

I'm not as concerned about Hell-themed things. Completely divorced from Eternal's plot, if I gave it the Totem's abilities, it would be another Hell-themed monster.

For new enemy abilities, there's a lot of new attacks and ideas from the new enemies in 2016 and Eternal, but one pet peeve of mine is when some enemies seem to reuse certain attacks or share similar attacks I am probably cutting back on the number of things each individual monster can do, to make ...

Have you got any download of your work so far? I don't at the moment, I wanted to get some more stuff done before I put stuff out for people to play around with and drum up some interest. With the focus on actually new enemy types, does that mean later iterations of Doom 1/2 monsters don't count or ...

Doom's engine doesn't typically work well with really small monsters (having enough trouble with that with the Trite so far, honestly, with the player able to run straight over them with any kind of elevation), so it would probably work better as a flying monster, Lost Soul style.

fast paced gameplay I like fast-paced gameplay, but I didn't enjoy walking through empty rooms, then getting locked in a room as it dumps the same monsters at me until the game tells me I can proceed. That kind of stop-go-stop-go-stop-go gameplay was why I didn't like Painkiller or Serious Sam much ...

It isn't a huge, groundbreaking mod, but it wasn't really intended to be. It's intended to be an extra episode for Doom 1, and I think it fits in pretty nicely into that role. I'm actually pretty impressed with some of the ideas in these levels like the crusher maze, the consistency with his new eye ...

Some great Megawad suggestions up there. Any others you guys think I should give a go? I've been looking through /id Games, but I'm unsure of what to try. They're a bit on the easy side (compared to Scythe, AV and Memento Mori, which tend to be slaughter-y towards the end), but I thoroughly enjoy ...

Looked at the recent new footage for Doom Eternal, and saw how the Extra Life powerup works in-game, so decided to throw the code together:

I noticed the RL's design changed a bit, making me wonder how this game's inflence for classic Doom mod stuff is going to be. For this project, I'm not really going to be changing much in the way of classic resources, especially just visual changes. I already have enough on my plate trying to get ...

It's been a long time since I made a sprite set, such as the possessed marine I made. So here, have a Pistol ZSpecOps dude. Possible bald version, more relative to his Doom 3 counterpart, might happen. Very nice :D Just needs some lighting on the firing frames Very nice, both of you! If one of you ...

To go back on topic, the thread title should rather be "Romero's Fifth Doom episode to be released" because it's not the fifth episode by Romero. After all, Shores of Hell and Inferno were by Tom Hall and Sandy Petersen, and he only made two of the maps in Thy Flesh Consumed. Maybe it's the fourth ...

Still some slightly buggy behavior in spots and some more things I want to do (like making it retract back to the player when it detaches from something), but, uh, got that working.
