Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 8] 1/1/18 THE BIG UPDATE!

Post by Accensus »

'Tis an honour to be part of the team. A lot of fun was had, and a lot of sleep was not had as well, but at the end of the day I'm really happy with the results. Worth every second. May you enjoy playing the mod as much as we enjoyed making it. :)

And don't forget to report them bugs! Most have been squashed, but there are always ninjas in the code.

So what IWADS apart from Doom was this compatible with again? I think I remember Heretic/Hexen...

Heretic for sure. Dunno about Hexen. Definitely didn't see anything Strife-related in the code.

Heretic is indeed supported, though the Tome of Power is missing some functionality. Outside of that and Doom, use at your own risk. I have no interest in making it Hexen or Strife compatible.

Update time is here again. Nothing major this time; just bugfixes and tweaks.

Cough

Oh shit I dropped this update here.
Spoiler: Open it up and look inside
Uhh...Don't really know what to say about this one. Just remember to bind Weapon State 1 in your controls to use Boost Power. The rest of the Changelog is pretty self explanatory.

Another great update to a great mod! This is easily the best play as a monster mod.

Whoops, merged a hotfix

E: forgot that the chaos device is no longer replaced; its needed in e2m4 of Heretic to get to the secret.

Also, boosted corpse blast always used to give health prior to the hotfix, but now it's 5% of the monster's max health before it died. The hotfix mostly addresses some leftover debugging stuff and a missing HUD element.

Hit them. Doesn't work with any other mods that replace the barrel.

This is a big and evil demon. Therefore high position of the camera and inert control. But the usual dynamics of the Doom game is missing. Personally, I have these things cause irritation.
Nothing prevents to imagine that this is little baby demon. And make standard gameplay for the better feeling, imo.

I find it hard to imagine that a little baby demon would cast down meteors, fireballs, light shit on fire, and summon entities from another dimension. The whole point of the mod is to play as a big and evil demon and everything revolves around that. If you find that irritating then I'm afraid this is the wrong "play as a monster" mod for you. You might want to play IMPatience in that case. Usual dynamics of the Doom game is absolutely not what this mod is all about.
