GEARS OF WAR - ZDoom TC (DEAD; UPLOADED ALL WORK- LAST POST)

[Graf Zahl]

What bothers me on occasion on Doomworld is that the oldschoolers try to shout down anti-oldschool discussions until an oldschool moderator comes along using this as a justification for helling the thread. To be honest I don't like to have discussions with these people - especially when they come in packs.

Sounds like one will need a good ol' juicy Super Shotty pickup before encountering these things. Gotta be careful around there.

[Mr. He11]

Not bad, keep it up. This should be interesting , I'm keeping tabs on this

[TheDarkArchon]

Best thing: Ignore them. These people will never be able to enjoy the game for what it is - only for what they want it to be.

..which is what the game was originally.

The operative term being 'was'!

One question - Is the main reason for this mod GOW gameplay (I mean that Dodging/covering system from GOW) or GOW visual style?

Because I think visually GOW is just another Quake rip-off - nothing worth puting any time to replicate it.

I'm actually not making the WAD for any of those reasons; I just really like the character, monster, weapon, and level design. Applying the retro-ish Doom look to it might look pretty cool.

screenshots for your advance?

I've always been a little more bothered by the people who shout down new mappers' attempts at making a level until a massive flame war erupts and the threat needs to be locked or half the posts deleted.

I gotta say that I was pretty skeptical of this at first, but I like your designs so far and I think this has potential if handled right. Are you planning to continue with the sort of semi-cartoon look (presumably with some shading and whatnot), or are you ultimately going to go for a more realistic art style?

[Blade3327]

@JonnyFive: That's actually a very good question...
I don't really know if it's possible to make realistic sprites for Doom. I doubt I have the experience for doing that, anyways...

Here's kind of an example of what I wanna do - have you guys heard of Doom 2.5 (with the Doom 3 for Doom 2 resources)? Have you seen what the weapons look like? I'd like to do that for Gears of War . Hopefully, that's helpful.

I'm not really aiming for a "cartoon" look, though. If you've seen the GOW comic book cover link (on the first page of this thread), then I'm shootin' for something like that, more or less...

[Blade3327]

I haven't really posted any updates in quite a while, so here's an extra-large update (not all of the future sprite images will be enlarged, but the details I've added on the bandana are a little hard to see in the normal view)!
I also edited the shoulder pad's shape. You might notice the new texturing on the hair, which makes it much less doodle-ish.

The only thing left to do in MS Paint is the skin. Can I get some advice for texturing it, because I don't really know where to start. I could play around with it a bit, but I can't exactly promise anything...

After MS Paint, the sprite will be moved to GIMP (again, ugh...) for polishing off. I'm not completely confident with this, since I was proud of only one modification in my first GIMP-edit.
Would anybody like to give it a shot? I never really asked if my sprite updates are convincing enough for anyone to want to join the team... A reply would be nice, since I've still got those other weapon outlines ready...

[peoplethought]

If you're going through the trouble of making custom sprites why not just make your own game instead of a copy of a game that already exists.

[Phucket]

I gotta say, something about him just looks a lot cooler then in GOW

[DOOMERO-21]

i see, is third person shooter, in a fact is like re4 respective...but that game is for pc?
maybe exist a model viewer for that game!
