[Amuscaria]

Defiler completed:



Edit: Cleaned up the sprite sheet a bit.

[Doominer441]

Eughhh, positively pestilent. I love the details of her eggs spilling out when she's killed, your sprites are always filled with wonderful details like those.

[ActionAlligator]

damn, looks so fuckin awesome man

Final Design for the Cardinal Malice. Basically a mix between an Archvile and the Doom 2016 Summoner. Charges up a pentagram shaped attack that curses the player to take double damage for a few seconds (like the old DE Hierophant) if it hits. Heals monster around her a little every A_Chase call, or does an AOE heal. Fast levitating monster (doesn't fly, but can climb up and down cliffs).


-----------------------------------------
Got some decorate questions:

1) Can an item spawn an actor when it's given through A_RadiusGive? I want there to be an effect every time the Cardinal Malice uses A_RadiusGive to give an health item to monsters nearby.

2) Does A_RadiusGive account for the maximum health or monsters? Or does it just keep giving health beyond the maximum health? Or is the max health defined by the healing item itself?

The (Real) Healer Stalks...

I haven't been paying enough attention to this project other than look at the images of the demons, so: will there be some sort of codex system that details how enemies function in game?
Like a lore booklet, even if the player has to collect pages or something.

As always, looks awesome! Are the model colors already paletted, if that's even possible? Or is that solely in the spriting process?

And also, I'm guessing you're using 'MaxStepHeight' & 'MaxDropOffHeight' for "levitation"? I wonder if it's possible in decorate/zscript to make the creature "levitate" up at a different rate other than instantaneously. Unless you prefer instantaneous? Or maybe you're using a different method entirely?

Anyways, really cool concept

[Amuscaria]

All of the opening post has the lore and general behavior. If you mean detailed stats like health, damage and behavior, I expect the player to just learn as they play. I will be adding the details on the HF Doom wiki page.

The palette is selected after I've finished the sprite in true color.

Hopefully we can see more soon

Strider animation test.

[ActionAlligator]

holy crap, that looks amazing! is it roughly the same tier as arachnotron, or is this supposed to be a more powerful variant?
