The WIP Thread

[GENTEK]

My strengh is the visual & the atmosphere... I think lol and of course slowly the gameplay take form you know I work 45 hour per week + the school so it's hard to fastly finish this project it's a big deal and I know I work really tooo slowly! About the enemy it's a sprite based on a 3d model I will add the weapons after but actually I focus on the player weapons and I learn ZScript by the same time I really want to finish 3 weapons this year and now all the main codes are done the next weapons will go fast since all sprites are done!

I get that, everyone has a job or school (maybe a few don't, but that's okay). Both is a time-killer, sure. I just don't like how you show off so little at a time. It's hard for a potential player to get hyped about a project that has one room, one enemy. Or so we see.

Also, you can end sentences with a period ("."), not just the exclamation point ("!"). I just thought you'd like to know, so that we don't have to figure out where one thought ends and another starts.

[GENTEK]

Sorry about the "!" I too much abuse that. lol And about showing a little at time it's true you're right it'S just when I make a small update I'm like... OMG I will show the new thing to the community guys but lollll this is my bullet in the head actually everyone here I presume are "pissed-off" about me but hey thanks for the comment buddy I will try to show more gameplay and stop to share my little updates with you just because I'm so enjoyed about my small new improvements lollll

[Project Shadowcat]

Have you considered small little blog-like videos, maybe? (Along the lines of 5-30 seconds, possibly two minutes in length for larger features or batches of features?) It'll silence claims of Photoshopped screenshots, for starters, and it'll also give you the satisfaction of self-gratification, too. Or at least it worked for me.
EDIT: But again, it only really pays off when you have stuff to show.

[GENTEK]

Hey this is a nice idea! And like you say I think the best is to show something solid instead tiny update that people don't care. On my side I'm super happy to share my updates but in a player perspective maybe it's more frustating than hyping.

I streamed my WIP, unreleased mod today.


fuck you quicksync you shitty encoder

[Captain J]

Eeeey nice shop interface! Looks really promising.

[Apeirogon]

I think you already got it, but just in case...
Add button "Select/pick/sell all" for items in shop menu. Because from 43 minutes video you spent around 7 minutes in shop, awaiting while item counter reach it maximum before sell it.

I always wanted a system where weapons have different stats in Doom, so I made one.
Also, that "+-" is not supposed to be there.

[CWolf]

I have few questions to ID and myself now...

There is some keys I've made for one pretty old Doom TC:

[Kinsie]

Not seeing it.

The power of ZScript allows me to shove more pointless bullshit nobody's ever going to read onto the screen than EVER BEFORE.

[Captain J]

Now that's some LOOOONG dialogue in one simple package. I guess shrinking the fonts as much as possible is the key to making it possible. No?

Also yeah, i'd shake for some cocktail.

[Pixel Eater]

Started my first ever DooM map:

I haven't figured out how to align textures, add lighting or make doors and windows yet but I'm pleased with my battered staircase

[Enjay]

Looks like a good start though.
