The Guncaster - 3.5a

[Jimmy]

Why do people keep putting guns in Heretic, specifically?

Because Heretic is more fun with guns than the stupid ineffective sticks it gives you.

[Ctrl+Alt+Destroy]

PFFFFFFT, I don't care if it's Heretic, anything that PillowBlaster churns out is bound to be a thing to behold.

[Jack Mackerel]

Come on, you're playing as Dragon Booker. I'm just hoping this gets out real soon.

Now all we need is a playable velociraptor with guns.

[Ethril]

Was... Was that a shop? That said "Greetings mortal, are you ready to buy"?

Brilliant.

[XCVG]

I like the aesthetic, and the gameplay looks awesome. Heretic doesn't get much love, looking forward to this!

Yeah heretic don't get much attention, I Wonder why?
(Anyway, Glad to see something different and new\fresh)

[zrrion the insect]

It's very awesome to see this thing out in the light finally. Can't wait to see it polished up.

[Pisstepank]

Well, now i got a very good reason to play heretic.

If I had to guess, it's probably something to do with the fewer number of textures, and thus the fewer number of decent maps made for Heretic. I can only think of a couple of good level WADs off the top of my head... having said that though, I would still like to give this a shot.

Russian Overkill but in Heretic with fancy magic, good stuff.

[Snarboo]

As nice looking as this is, I have to ask if there's a quick select option for the spells. It looks like the radial menu slows the game down a bit too much, so you might want to consider it if you haven't already.

Otherwise awesome stuff, dude! :D

[Ikazu-san]

Can't wait to spend some MP in this mod
Also, can these crows get charged with othere elemental spells so they could also burn/shock/corrode the enemies?

[PillowBlaster]

Thanks for all positive comments so far! (Non-positive too, but those seem to be amiss so far. Keep it up, lads!)

This. Simply this.

But in all seriousness, the spell-system requires only projectiles\effects, and getting HUD graphics for each new weapon... that'd be pretty hard to do, as there isn't as much fantasy stuff compared to the ones that fits Doom. That's why I went with gun-spell relation. Especially that I like this mix.

Also, special message to Zeke - GUNS! GUUUUUNS!!

Psychic Overkill.

Seriously looks good, though. Major ridiculous props for including acid a la Will Rock.

Awwww yiss, I am stealing ideas like a little sh-!... ahem, yeah. About Will Rock, that game sucks horribly, but the guns in it are epithome of awesomeness for me. Hence why I decided to give it a shot.

Of course I thought of implementing quick-selection already... the ugly part is that I have no idea how to do that effectively. The lack of access to weapon slot buttons kinda ruins whole thing, and can't figure out any other sensible method for that.

And thanks, I try to make it as awesome as I can!

Not sure how I could pull it off. That would probably require messing up the skill wheel system big time, so I guess a nope, sadly.

However, the tomed crows do some funny stuff!

who the hell voices that dragon?

You might be able to get away with having inventory items that when selected toggle the appropriate spell, but that's not really any faster. I know you can create custom binds with KEYCONF, however, so that's another possible solution.

How many spells are there going to be, just the six in the trailer?
