SCREENSHOTS

---

BEST PLAYED ON GZDOOM 4.3.3 OR BETTER! If using anything lower, do not enable Score Mode or you may experience crashes. (Unless you are using the Dev version)
This mod is not compatible with most mods. The ones listed below in the "RECOMMENDED MODS" section were found to work with little to no problems, and only those should be used. Mods such as gore mods that affect enemies will lead to undesirable results!

Hello, sir or madam. Do you long for the days of old where the console wars focused on things like pixel graphics, and something about megabits and chips of the 8 to 16 to 32 variety? Well then look no further! Throw away all those toasters you put on your head claiming to be the answer to virtual reality! Dispose of those 'games' that could pass off as modern art pieces with their 16 different shades of brown! (and gray, but not 50) From here on out, you get to play the games...ON A CARTRIDGE! You HAVE seen the games, right?

You: *duuuh huh huh*

Wrong answer. SHOW 'EM!

BULLET-EYE! An arcade/SNES style adventure!

DOWNLOAD NOTE: Adjust the damage/defense sliders to your liking before playing, or you may find yourself dealing no damage. (Default is 1.0 for both damage and defense)

Be sure to read the controls below or press F1 during gameplay to view them. You can also select 'Manual' from the main menu.

DOWNLOAD ENEMY ONLY MOD
Use this if you would like to use the enemies of Bullet-Eye with another gameplay mod. Note: Only 8/18 monsters finished. More will be added as they are completed. Don't forget to set up your preferences in the options menu to change some enemy behavior or aggressiveness. These enemies do not have XDeath states.

WEAPONS:
Bullet-Eye holds a variety of unique and wacky weapons, all with their own upgrades! To upgrade a weapon, simply pick up another of the same type, and the system will do the rest of the work. But remember, citizens, your previous weapon will be dropped upon picking up your new beat stick! You can hold up to three different weapons, and swapping a weapon is achieved by selecting the weapon you want to switch out. Don't forget to press 'Use Inventory' to view information about your current weapons/sub-weapon, and equipment! You will never be harmed by your own weapons and they require no ammo to fire, so blast away!

All primary weapons are categorized into one of 6 families. Each weapon family has its own strengths and weaknesses. There is no limit to how many weapons in one family you can hold, but in some situations, it may be best to balance out your arsenal!
- Green Weapon Capsule - High rate of fire with drawbacks being weaker firepower and slight inaccuracy.
- Red Weapon Capsule - High firepower, but small clip size and longer reload time.
- Blue Weapon Capsule - Excellent for crowd control situations, but range is limited.
- Purple Weapon Capsule - Requires more involvement for optimal usage, but effective when mastered.
- Yellow Weapon Capsule - Tracks targets with ease, but cannot gain Bullet-Eye energy from kills.
White Weapon Capsule - Shortest range, but requires no reloading. Changes Ability functions.

Here are just some of the weapons you can find in Bullet-Eye:

Spitfire - Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Spread Shot - Fires a spread of projectiles in a burst. Every time a projectile hits an enemy, it is cloned into two more shots at an angle.
Buster - Fires at a medium range and explodes in place. Hold fire to charge the weapon and launch an empowered shot. Costs 5 ammo.
Blaze Stream - Emits short range streams of flames. Damage is greater the closer you are to an enemy.
Dogfighter Missile - Launches small homing missiles that fire at enemies.
Crush Blast - Fires a powerful laser. Firerate is increased while airborne.
Scrap Launcher - Launches out scrap in a spread. Alt-fire launches a chain to pull in enemies.
Quick Strike - Strike enemies in melee. Alt-Fire unleashes charge attacks.

SUB-WEAPONS:
SHOOT YOUR SUB-WEAPONS! Use alt-fire, you BIG DUMMEH! With Sub-Weapons, you can gain Bullet-Eye Energy from successful hits, and they also have an increased chance to cause enemies to flinch.

Below are some Sub-Weapons that can be found:
- Mag Shurikens - Attempts to home in on enemies when in close proximity.
- Energy Claws - Unleash a series of slashes.
- Cross Mine - Deploy a mine which explodes in a cross pattern when enemies are in range.
- Scatter Bombs - Throw a cluster of bombs.


EQUIPMENT:

Find various types of armor pieces from fallen enemies or in other places and carry them for beneficial effects, such as increasing the maximum Bullet-Eye Energy capacity, or increasing the duration and power of Strike Orbs!


BULLET-EYE MODE:

Defeat enemies to gain energy! Once you have enough, the Bullet-Eye emblem will appear and upon pressing the Zoom key, your weapon will switch to a massive rapid firing weapon which can easily clear groups of enemies. Enemies slain in this mode restore health and have an increased chance to drop Weapon Enhancers as well. You will also gain all Strike Orbs when entering Bullet-Eye Mode! You can exit out of Bullet-Eye mode by pressing the Zoom key once again, but you will lose some Bullet-Eye Energy upon doing so.




EQUIPMENT LOCK:

Tired of accidentally picking up a weapon you don't want? A sub-weapon you would rather not grab is blocking your path in a narrow hallway? Then Equipment Lock is for you! Simply press UserKey1/WeaponState1 and all your troubles will vanish without a fight! (Today we celebrate - our Independence Day!) While Equipment Lock is active, you will not pick up any weapon, sub-weapon, or equipment unless it is of the same type currently in your possession, or if you currently do not own an item for that specific slot. You will know when the system is active when your weapons and sub-weapon have teeny tiny locks on them. If you change your mind and want to grab all the powerups you can attempt to carry, just hit the same key and it will be disabled!


DENIZENS OF BULLET-EYE:
- An item capsule you can destroy to provide either health or sub-weapon ammo. It also prioritizes health drops when you are at 30% health or below! Yup, it's a denizen.
- Weapon capsules that hold a primary weapon within. The color of the capsule equates to which weapon family is inside. Collect them all!* *Note: You cannot actually carry them all.
- Rescue survivors to get a health bonus, some Sub-Weapon Ammo, and Bullet-Eye Energy! Do you mind if they pay you in gum? Note: The Survivors are not just heads!
- Energy Screens block all damage done to you as long as the shield holds. You can also find Partial Energy Screens from some enemies that have half the capacity of normal Energy Screens. You're gonna need 'em!
SomeDoomMonstersHead.tga - SOME default Doom monsters! OH MAN!
- Strike Orbs are found out in the world, but most commonly can be found from defeated enemies. They temporarily boost either Attack (Red), Speed (Blue), or Defense (Green).
- Weapon Enhancers can instantly level up a weapon of your choosing, provided you have collected enough. The cost is 5 for upgrading to L2, and 8 for L3. You can use them when viewing a weapon in the status window. I wish I made that graphic! Curse you Star Fox 2!

RECOMMENDED MODS: Here, I will list mods from other users that I found pair well with Bullet-Eye. Use them to enhance the experience further!
DamNums - By Xaser - Adds floating combat text. Perfect for comparing damage between weapons.
Top HP Bars - By coldcite - Adds health bars above enemies. There are some irregularities, such as health bars jumping erratically for Riveting Bombadier holograms, but it should not affect gameplay.
Demon CounterStrike - By Laggy - Spawns enemies and items periodically throughout maps, keeping action up full time, and therefore, adding to the arcade aspect of Bullet-Eye.

SUPPORT INFORMATION -
I feel bad for even asking for support, as it just feels wrong, especially since some other members set up their own related pages just recently - so I do not wish to divert any attention from theirs. However, I actually pay my coder (Ace) and an artist (HyperUltra64, along with others) to develop content for the mod. With everything going on in the world at the moment, and me having quit my job just a few months ago, I do not have any funds coming in. This is not to say that I cannot pay for their work at all, but I would like to avoid dipping into the majority of my personal funds, as I am not sure when I will find employment again. Do not feel obligated to donate, especially if you are having financial troubles. No content will be staggered or delayed if players choose not to do so. If you do choose to donate, know that it will be truly appreciated by the team. Again, do not donate if you are in or think you will be in any financial trouble for doing so. I encourage you to plan ahead before coming to a decision. Thank you for your time.

ENEMIES:

DREAD TROOPER (Zombieman)

The Dread'zuul's run-of-the-mill trooper. While they are not too much of a threat in small numbers, they can quickly become a problem if left unchecked. Falling back, dodging attacks, alerting other troopers to your presence, and patrolling the vicinity are just some of the more commonly employed tactics used by them. Luckily, they usually carry around extra provisions, providing you with quick aid should it be needed for more dangerous foes.

CRUSHER (Shotgunner)

A step up from the standard trooper. The Crushers utilize a scatter gun that fires in a small spread when a foe is in close range. The weapon can also fire a burst of more precise shots, for taking down targets from afar. Still, thankfully it won't take much more than a couple solid shots to put them down. Not thankfully, the scatter gun can also fire out a blockade of metal plates that makes it slightly more difficult to get the aforementioned solid shots.

RIVETING GRENADIER (Chaingunner)

These baddies have themselves a nice little set of near jet black armor to supplement some of their abilities. Completely unsurprisingly, they hit harder and are more difficult to bring down. However, your equipment is efficient at punching through their armor. Those grenades and rivet guns they wield seem like they were mass-produced on a discount, too. Don't take that as a reason to underestimate them, though. Rivets are rather diddly compared to bullets, but get a crew of them all focusing fire on you, and that's a whole lot of diddly.

BOUNDER/BOUNDER ALPHA (Demon)

You've heard of the Dread'zuul before, but never paid them a lot of attention. Doomsday armageddon cults are a dime a dozen, after all. But somehow, somewhere, these guys seem to have gotten their hands on some actual genuine extra-dimensional beasts to supplement their ranks. You don't know where these are from, but they're certainly not from this realm. They're not too dangerous--sure, there's the teeth and jaws and everything, but that's pretty much all they can do. If anything, fighting them feels a little nostalgic, it's like hunting for game all over again. Very tough, fleshy, bitey game. The Alpha variety have a venomous bite, and while it isn't too much of a problem, it can quickly become one if you just so happen to be surrounded.

GARGANT (Spectre)

A behemoth of a creature, big, tall, and strong. Probably some kind of extra-dimensional bear or bull, with the intelligence to match. They don't seem to do much aside from charge and try to hack you up with their giant claws, but considering each of the claws are roughly the size of your entire leg, they do some damage. It seems all they have in the way of defenses are just some natural camouflage, which doesn't hold up too well under an assail of bullets. On the offensive side, they can go berserk when heavily damaged, which just makes them all the more happy to angrily charge at you. There's probably a lot to be said for the ecosystem of these strange creatures and the role they fill in the grand scheme of their natural world, but over here bullets tend to be the great equalizer.

DREAD VISAGE (Cacodemon)

Creepy, grinning floating heads that drift all over the place. They have big and sharp teeth, but the real pain is that they can shoot some kind of energy plasma out of their mouth at you. You're not entirely sure what part of the evolutionary chain includes "generate lasers out of nothing and fire it", but it's one you wish they'd skipped. They tend to be just as fragile as their more ground-based brethren, so a couple good bullets placed in sensitive areas should ground them for life. Which is good, really, since nothing with teeth that size should ever have been allowed off the ground.

PHASE REAPER (Revenant)

You're not much of a reading kind of person, but there was a horror story a while back that talked about dimensional shamblers that walked from one plane to another as easily as strolling down the street. Gave you the chills just thinking about it--you could be minding your own business and then out of nowhere there'd be these angry critters trying to chew on you. And, go bloody figure, here they are now. Are these guys even aligned with the Dread'zuul? Whoever's responsible for it, you need to give them a good punching. Simply put, you can't think of enough nasty words for these guys. With their constant movement and shifting, they're annoying to pin down, and they can throw lightning bolts that lock onto your position. They take a decent amount of punishment, too, so your beloved standby of "shoot it until it dies" might have finally found a snag.

CYCLOPTIC BRUTE (Mancubus)

You aren't sure if this is some lab-grown, engineered beast, or just a creature from the wild the Dread'zuul decided to merge with a whole bunch of machinery and turn into a fighting machine. It's armed with homing missiles, laser pulse blasts, and what appears to be a modified version of the Energy Claws, but has none of your skill, ability, or speed. It makes up for it with layers of titanium subdermal implants that are going to be a little difficult to punch through, though, which you admit would be pretty nice to have.

ABERWRAITHER (Hell Knight)

Is this a ghost? This brings forth all sorts of questions that you never really thought before. If there are ghosts, does that mean there's an afterlife? And if so, what kind of afterlife are we referring to? Is it the kind of afterlife where you have to believe in a god? Or are we talking more a general sort of karma-related afterlife where you need to live a good life to pass on? What about you? You're a bit of a rough-and-tumble person, but you'd like to think you've helped a lot of people. Well, either way, they're intangible and can't touch you. So that means they can't hurt you with their clammy little claws. Nice. On the other hand, they throw fire that explodes into more fire. Crap.

After play few levels... my points

º The hud seems to be out of place..

---

I play with 4:3 on 800x600

º It will be better if there r diferent weapons to carry and no only pick up and lost there r many weapons that r way to weak to work and more if u have to kill something more than a zombie
º The suriken subweapon is cool but can past between colums, ej: the first red bars on the start of the second level
º The buster is cool but is way way too short is not worthy when a cyber can attack from way far
º The blaze stream is the weakes of all and with that short way short range is like a chainsaw
º The only i didnt get was the spread shot, the other were nice but the weapons with own sprite and number to switch to them will be even better
º The levek up system can be like pick up 3 spitfire and level up, pickup 6 and level up again it will be better to have to pick up few and not only one, weapons will be super strong in short time and more if u play a megawad
º The blaze stream fire sprite need a fix the fire is coming from lower on hand than the weapon

So far is cool but it need lot of tweak to work and more in open levels
Keep up the good work

[Crimsondrgn]

The Level 1 description for the chaser missile calls it the buster.

What resolution is the new HUD meant for?
640x480 works with UI scale 2, and 1280x960 works at UI scale 4.

Also kinda liked the look of the old HUD in the screenshots, any way to get that separate or get it as an option in the mod?

[Somagu]

Somehow I missed that this was a thing???

Stream of consciousness feedback before I pass out:
Could I ask that you not have spaces in the wad filename? Just a personal peeve of mine since otherwise I have to rename it every time I update it, given I don't use a launcher, and adding quotes to the command line parameters is ugly.

Spread shot looks and sounds weak, despite being roughly as powerful as a fully upgraded Buster (Which does actually look and sound appropriate, so good on that)

Could also use some more dramatic explosions in general, say for barrels.

Blaze Stream is way too damn weak! Looks weak, is weak. Takes way too long to even kill former humans unless you're touching them, which is a bit counterintuitive for weapons inspired by old one-hit platformers. Make it rip, make it do more DOT, do something besides what it already does.

Chasers are too strong. There's no downside to them despite doing as much or more damage than the same fully upgraded buster, spreadshot, which require you to be close range. I reckon it should

Spitfire and Buster seem more or less fine.

HUD could use some work on the whole scaling thing.

Might want to start with a subweapon considering how rarely I actually find the damn things.

[Mor'Ladim]

I am taking all the feedback in, AND I AM WORKING ON UPDATES THIS VERY MOMENT!

And all I can say is that Blaze Stream has been insulted by the feedback on it, and is now RED HOT with anger! Changes to the weapon are coming!

Hopefully I can fix the HUD scaling issue. It is my first time working with a custom HUD, so if I can't fix it then I will have to look at other options.

I was also thinking of adding a weapon experience system. Using this, you can gain experience for weapons for up to two levels, and once they are leveled, picking up a 'fresh' one will always retain its level, regardless of the fact if you picked up another weapon or not. I think adding in a system to carry more than one weapon would also be useful, but hopefully I can code it.

Also kinda liked the look of the old HUD in the screenshots, any way to get that separate or get it as an option in the mod?

The graphics for it are actually in the WAD, if you'd like to use them. As for an option in the mod to use it, perhaps I can use it for one of the HUD sizes instead of using the current one at each resize level.

Thank you for all the feedback!

EDIT: I made some updates! The changelog, can be found in the main post. I hope you all like them! In the next update, I plan to make a starting sub-weapon, and more main weapons. An accessory system will come in the future as well, and these will grant special abilities when held, such as one that makes Strike Orbs last longer, or another that triples the bonuses gained from Survivors.

[Somagu]

This is looking good! The Buster and Blaze Stream now both stand out as appropriately powerful for closer range weapons (I know you didn't do anything to the Buster, that's not my point), and the claw subweapon is also powerful enough to warrant being ammo-limited. The ripper itself might be a bit too powerful, actually. Mag Shurikens and the Chaser could stand to be a little bit more powerful than they are. Maybe a 20% increase or less. Spread Shot also feels much nicer to use now. The outstanding issue that I see currently is that aside from the claw, every weapon takes an unreasonably long time to kill anything stronger than a Hell Knight, basically. Maybe some kind of system like GMOTA where you have a seperate power gauge for temporary stronger EX-modes would be appropriate? That'd require a lot of effort, though.

[Mor'Ladim]

Since each weapon has its own damage type, I was able to adjust them for stronger enemies, and it seems to be working well. However, that would just be a band-aid fix in the long run, as custom enemies wouldn't be affected by said changes! I may just increase the damage across the board, since this IS a retro style mod, and enemies in SNES era games didn't last too long in most cases. Another solution could be to make the level 3 versions of all weapons gain a large damage boost, while the previous levels retain their current values.

I also increased the damage boost from the Attack Strike Orb, and I believe I should make all orbs more common from enemies.

Edit: Actually, I just thought of something I could do to help out a bit. Sort of...Let's see if I can pull it off and include it in today's update! (If it fits) I already have the graphics and code for it, since it was used in DUMP 3.

[Scripten]

That new HUD is gorgeous and super thematic. I appreciate it. Hope I get a chance to actually try the mod soon.

[Captain J]

Oooooh how retrospective! Let me play soon and bake some thoughts of mine!

[Mor'Ladim]

Pushed a small update!

11/22/16 (B)
-New title music!
-Adjusted damage for enemies individually using DamageFactor.
-Increased Energy Claw Sub-Weapon range.
-Increased health and sub-weapon ammo gains from items.
-Added Bullet-Eye Mode. Gather energy from kills to unleash a massive weapon! (Use the Zoom key when you see the Bullet-Eye Emblem)

I also did my first TRUE ACS script for Bullet-Eye mode. It's a simple script, but it works. I just hope I did it right, since I am very inexperienced with ACS.

Edit:

This is what happens when you press Reload now:

[Captain J]

So i played it now, it was one decent, nice and well, retrospective mod i ever played. Neat work! Also i haven't seen SNES style mod before, so hooray for that!

---

- Style of the mod resembles SNES style, right? Then i wonder why Genesis musics plays in the mod...

- You know, some of the sound effects doesn't fitting with SNES style except Buster. I guess they still have high quality. Would be nice if you can take some sound effects from real SNES games or make the current sound effects more muffled.

- Every single projectile has no decal, is it intentional?

- It is weird that hands appears from nowhere without animation when i use the Sub-weapons. Intentional flaws for advantage?

- I hope sub-weapons gives you some ammo if you already got one of them.

- Now it's about Bullet-Eye. Gotta love this weapon! Except its shots are not so satisfying; Just leaves vanilla doom bulletpuff and nothing else. Perhaps Make the puff more powerful?

Also... I got this weapon from the cheat, so i want to ask this one thing shamefully; How can i get this weapon?

So that's about it. It's really interesting and can't wait for the update!

Also... I got this weapon from the cheat, so i want to ask this one thing shamefully; How can i get this weapon?

1. The style of the mod is mostly SNES, but also the era of the Sega Genesis. It's also difficult to find good music when there isn't a site where they can be previewed easily, like Genesis music at Project2612. (As far as I know) If you have suggestions for a new title theme that sounds action-oriented, I'm open to them! I tried the title theme to Jim Power, but it just didn't have the same kick.
2. I plan to have a number of weapons in the mod, and using pure SNES sound effects would limit me greatly, as I would like each weapon to sound different. Not to mention ripping sounds from the SNES is a pain, and most 'rips' are just the samples used to make the sounds themselves! Otherwise, I would definitely use more. I AM trying to use them more often for other objects such as Item Capsules though!
3. I didn't add decals because I feel it would take away from the retro feel. And I am lazy. Maybe I will go back and change them later if I can find something fitting.
4. I fixed that just for you!
5. This is also fixed!
6. You can get that weapon by killing enemies to build up energy. Once you have enough, the Bullet-Eye emblem will appear. Once that happens, press the ZOOM key to activate Bullet-Eye mode!

Thank you for all the feedback!

---

Finally got some new changes up! I wanted to add another weapon, but it will have to wait until the next update.

11/24/16
-New title pic!
-Chaser Missile homing made less aggressive. You now need to have an enemy closer to your crosshair to activate the homing.
-Picking up a Sub-Weapon will now grant some Sub-Weapon Ammo.
-New types of Weapon Powerup drops have been added. These will instantly grant a level 2 or three weapon. Bosses will always drop a level three weapon, while high tier enemies commonly drop L2 weapons, and uncommonly L3.
-Bosses will now always drop a number of health and Sub-Weapon Ammo items upon defeat.
-Slightly updated Weapon Powerup sprites.
-Energy Screen has been added. While under the effects of an Energy Screen, you will suffer no health damage until the shield is destroyed.
-Picking up a weapon you already have a level 3 version of will grant Bullet-Eye Energy.
-Max Health Up powerups will spawn in place of Megaspheres. They increase max health by 5.
-New Sub-Weapon 'Cross Mine'
-New Weapon 'Crush Blast'. Drops from high tier enemies and Weapon Capsules only.
-Chaser Missile now only drops from Weapon Capsules and high tier enemies.

A shot of the new weapon powerup types (as explained above):

[Captain J]

1. The style of the mod is mostly SNES, but also the era of the Sega Genesis. It's also difficult to find good music when there isn't a site where they can be previewed easily, like Genesis music at Project2612. (As far as I know) If you have suggestions for a new title theme that sounds action-oriented, I'm open to them! I tried the title theme to Jim Power, but it just didn't have the same kick.

Is official or custom SNES musics sounds good for you? Such as this one;

2. I plan to have a number of weapons in the mod, and using pure SNES sound effects would limit me greatly, as I would like each weapon to sound different. Not to mention ripping sounds from the SNES is a pain, and most 'rips' are just the samples used to make the sounds themselves! Otherwise, I would definitely use more. I AM trying to use them more often for other objects such as Item Capsules though!

Then making the current sound effects into low quality would be the answer. Since SNES games always had smooth and low quality sound effects.

3. I didn't add decals because I feel it would take away from the retro feel. And I am lazy. Maybe I will go back and change them later if I can find something fitting.

Oh, that's fine, just fine. Leave it as it is. I don't even know what kind of SNES games had such an effect on their maps, except cybernator.

6. You can get that weapon by killing enemies to build up energy. Once you have enough, the Bullet-Eye emblem will appear. Once that happens, press the ZOOM key to activate Bullet-Eye mode!

Now i see! But still it's not quite satisfying because again, vanilla bulletpuffs. I actually thought about some powerful effect for it, V-Gun from Wild Guns! It has one powerful and badass gatling gun you should check out!

Thank you for all the feedback!

You're welcome, thanks for understanding me!

[wildweasel]

This is a really cool concept, but I have a bug to report - entering Bullet-Eye mode doesn't work properly if "Switch Weapons on Pickup" is switched off in Player Setup. You can press the button to trigger it, but all it will do is give you all three Strike Orb powerups without changing your weapons, which you can do indefinitely...until you change primary weapons, at which point the weapon switches properly.

Now, I seem to recall that the ACS inventory function SetWeapon works in Decorate, though I might be wrong. Perhaps that's a better way to trigger the Bullet-Eye weapon swtich?
