Blasphemer 0.14 out now

[janiform]

Blasphemer aims to create a free content package for the Heretic engine, with a theme of metal-inspired dark fantasy. Blasphemer 0.14 has been released. You can get it here: https://code.google.com/p/blasphemer/
It features graphics for another weapon as well as for a monster, as you can see in the screenshot below:


Want to contribute? Here are the contribution guidelines: https://code.google.com/p/blasphemer/wi ... Guidelines
Here is our roadmap: https://code.google.com/p/blasphemer/wiki/Roadmap
And you can check the wiki to see what resources still need to be completed: https://code.google.com/p/blasphemer/w/list

The project could really use some resources, especially player sprites and HUD weapon sprites, but any maps, sounds, or other sprites would also be greatly appreciated. Make sure you read the contribution guidelines linked above before contributing.

So, what did you make of it? The bishop replacement?

[janiform]

Yes.

[Gothic]

finally!

[SamVision]

Great, been waiting for this.

[NeuralStunner]

This is one of the best projects ever...!

I wish I could help out, but I could never match your artistic prowess.

That looks real good downloading it now!

A small gift, because we all love free games :3


called sun wand or w/e, supposed to be golden, not a gem. I just can't shade a gem properly . the perspective is somewhere between golden wand (wrooooooong !!!) and the crossbow (nice).

woups, should have read the guideline. i thought you wanted designs close to the original for weaps ^^'

[darkhaven3]

I'll gladly contribute music if it's needed.

[Blox]

Hm, it might be an idea to turn the staff into a punching animation.
But generally, what restrictions do we have?

Edit: Also: Weirdo wand:

I agree with staff > punch.

Restrictions? Beyond what's laid out on the project wiki? Well, since it's (ideally) a cross-port project, there's no DECORATE etc. involved, so things have to work the same way internally and have the same number of frames (although this only applies to frames in the sense of frame A B C D etc., not angles, those can be increased or decreased as needed.)
That and weapons should be widescreen-ready for those ports where it matters, when applicable, as there's no reason not to when the sprites are from scratch.
And ideally there should be some consistency in how things of a particular type are drawn rather than a mishmash of different styles.
Anything else that might need clarifying?

I like this version particularly, reminds me of a funky Egyptian scarab thing without being too closely reminiscent of Egyptian designs.

Thanks! This could hold the place for now, but yeah, something a little more unique would be preferred.

It pleases and honors my heart you used my monster. This boosts my motivation to make some more free stuff, and considering our graphical tastes are similair (dark fantasy, metal and Lovercraftian, though my taste uses more cyberpunk than Blasphemer) perhaps I will find this project as more than just a potential end point for stuff I make.

[janiform]

NMN_Paul: that would just thrill the hell out of me. Your work is very good and stylistically perfect for Blasphemer.

Do you need any rendered pyrotechnics?

I need to redo some of the impacts i've made too

i've recently learned how to start fires in Free Software.

I know raven's games were quite pyrotechnically heavy of most games in it's day having many unique explosion and flame sprites, so i could get my cpus to burn for this

[janiform]

We could certainly use various projectiles and explosions, and I think some decorative fiery sprites as well.
