‌‎‎‎‎‏‏‏‏Fractal Doom v0.2.4b

[Sarcose]

Man, I wish I had been recording this: on Map03 in Plutonia I got to the Archvile in the beginning and set down a minidoomguy to fuck him up. The archvile sets him on fire and blows him away, and right when he flies away he yells "FUCK YOURSELF!" then flies away. It was amazing.

[Matt]

Didn't lose it at the video, but I didn't have my headphones on.

Downloaded, played, lost it at

pipsqueak brutal doomguy "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?"

and just had to stop playing for about three minutes while I eventually recovered.

[zrrion the insect]

This is perfection.

[Triple S]

I don't really want to undermine the rest of the mod's awesomeness, because the entire mod is quite entertaining (and hard as balls)...

...but the mini marines are just absolutely wonderful. I find myself wanting mini marines for every mod now.

Can you imagine Samsara with full class compatibility? Perfect.

also the mini rocket marines are fucking scary, but do not ever nerf them please

[Big C]

I came for the mini-marines and stayed for the deflating mini-cacos.

This is glorious.

[FireHusky]

This looks really interesting!
I might give it a shot this weekend. I've never seen anyone (or heard anyone) have this idea! It's so cool and might be one of the more memorable mods.
I have a few questions, though. It looks like the smaller enemies have the same health as their originals (from the video) and they seem to be faster. Is their stats all the same?
One last question, will there be miniature cute cyberdemons that shoot adorable tiny rockets at you that doesn't do any damage, but push you back? That would be extremely funny!

But I will check out this mod this weekend, and will post what I think about it.

I am hiding this here in the middle of the thread in an edited post rather than posting on the end of the thread because I do not wish to bump this thread and bring additional attention to this thread.

If you're reading this I am probably already banned. I am sorry that my post is faded, that must make it hard to read.

Since my work has been reuploaded to Best Ever by others save one version, I have gone ahead and uploaded the one missing version (zdoom monsters version) since withholding it didn't really accomplish anything.

Just started playing this mod today, and I have to say, it's awesome. It finds a way to both be hilarious and yet still serious and above all, lots and lots of fresh fun. One gripe though; why does the special alt-fire sound for the shotguns (and I think the pistol and chaingun too) have a timer on when it plays again? It would be great if the sound played everytime you did an alt fire, instead of like ever 2 seconds or so, but that's my opinion. I also like how you made the mini weapons movable from explosives. And don't get me started on the mini marines. 10/10

Minor bug: mini mancubi don't have their sounds pitch shifted up.

[yoshi314]

I came for the mini-marines and stayed for the deflating mini-cacos.

This is glorious.

that is an understatement. my sides are still sore from yesterday's initial play session. this mod is hilarious.

only nitpick is that some mini zombie sounds have an odd metallic reverb on them that sounds a bit nasty (playing on gzdoom atm). could be something with my audio settings. same goes for mini marine's dying sound.

also, ammo limits could be raised a bit - with so much more enemies now it's possible to run out of ammo frequently, even on early levels.

[Abba Zabba]

Another little bug: mini barons and mini knights have red blood instead of green blood.
