Angled Doom is what it suggests: It's Doom. But it's angled.
All weapons were made with the vanilla feel in mind. This is a drastic departure from what i usually work, instead of alt fires and multiple functions, Angled Doom aims to the simplicity that made our game so beloved. Also, there are some slight eye-candy here and there like dynamic lights and new particle effects, but nothing too fancy.
Features:
- A whole set of angled weapons, aiming to look as faithful as possible to Doom's original artwork.
- New lightning and particle effects used in various situations.
- Smooth animations for all weapons, respecting the same rate of fire as in vanilla Doom.
- An extra difficulty level called Ultra-Violence+!
However, if even some slight changes in aesthetics are too much for you and all you want is the pure Doom experience with angled weapons, there's no problem at all! I'm glad to announce that there is a simplified stand alone version of the mod called Angled Doom Lite is available for download! Lite version gets rid of most things that were introduced from v0.666 onward such as new blood and altered skins for enemies. Just the good old raw shooting and demons being torn apart.
Add-ons:
While Angled Doom is supposed to be a vanilla experience in therms of gameplay, Angled Doom Plus breaks free from those limitations, being an enhanced version of the base mod. New weapons were added to the arsenal and lots of new demons have joined the enemy ranks. Blast through through the hell spawn with railguns, revolvers, grenade launchers and hit them hard with the new alt-fires. Angled Doom Plus is supposed to feel somewhat familiar to vanilla players, but at the same time, different enough to feel fresh and new. Important note: some people had trouble trying to run Angled Doom Plus, saying that it crashes on start. That's because Angled Doom Plus is an addon, therefore it cannot work as a standalone mod! You need the base mod alongside it in order for it to work, either by dragging and dropping the files into GZDoom.exe or using some launcher such as ZDL. This rule applies to all future addons to be released.

Looks very nice! The chaingun is kinda weird though, isn't it? Possibly because it doesn't become narrower like the other weapons, from the perspective.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I can try to do something about the Chaingun, but to be fair, it's kinda hard to find vanilla-esque angled Chaingun sprites. But don't worry, i won't forget that feedback

I literally just thought of an idea of an "angled Doom" mod where all weapons were angled... then suddenly this pops up... damn, I'm good!
Just checked this out, I love it. Manages to make the game feel fresh and new but without too many crazy quirks. Brilliant work you've done here!

My only con is the chaingun, looks awkward.
Overall.
4.5/5!

I'm accepting suggestions.

Hmm, looks good, but only have two barrel rotation frames (for better smoothness in animation, i believe 4 frames are the ideal). However, this could be a good starting point, and i'll see what i can do about the extra two frames.
Possibly because it doesn't become narrower like the other weapons, from the perspective.
