completely random... but would it perhaps be possible to add a special 'kid mode' difficulty where the bosses are easier & could be beaten by a young person that's relatively new to shooters?
i used this mod as a way to introduce my 10-year old newphew to first-person-shooters, and he surprisingly picked it up really fast and was having a blast & laughing at all the silly nonsense
.....untill he reached the first spider-cat boss, which even on easiest just proved downright impossible for the kid due to the boss's fast movement and frequent rapid fire.
and even me, a seasoned veteran who has been playing doom for 25 years, died a few times on the same boss (on easy) once the kid passed the controls over to me cuz it was simply to hard for him.
and i am by no means a bad player in the slightest, i always play shooters on the hardest possible difficult cuz i love me a good challenge. ive beaten OG Blood on extra crispy difficulty even, in SP.
.
so would it perhaps be possible to add a special 'kid mode' difficulty which is otherwise identical to easy, except for bosses being less of a threat? like, make them move slower, attack less frequently & projectiles do less damage?
so that a younger person who is relatively new to first-person shooters and doesnt grasp the concept of circle-strafing yet could beat the bosses too, with some challenge but not to much,
so the sudden spike in difficulty of the bosses doesnt abruptly grind their game to a halt, which potentially ruins their fun and it might put them off from wanting to continue playing
