It seems that the forces of hell have gotten wise to your use of guns, and now what passes for R&D in the bowels of the Netherworld has outfitted most all of the different types of demons with weapons. In a twist, you can’t pick them up after they’re dead; you have to telekinetically wrench them from the hands of your enemy while they’re still alive. In addition, ammo is far scarcer; once you empty a weapon, its best to throw it down, though you can have a small reserve supply of each type of ammo. You can build up your supply of reserve ammo by unloading the ammo from any weapon. Reloading draws ammo from your reserve, if any of that type has been obtained.
The player can choose from fighting with Human and Demon Weapons, or Powers, and each of these are leveled up by killing enemies and collecting the experience pickup that spawns. Killing an enemy with a weapon earns Weapon Experience, which can be freely spent to improve the proficiency of any weapon. Upgrading weapons can increase attributes such as accuracy, damage, or refire rate, or add a secondary fire mode to the weapon. These secondary fire modes consume ammo faster, but have special effects. Killing an enemy with a Power earns Power Experience, which can be used to acquire & develop new mental abilities.
Powers and weapons can be freely equipped to either hand, and the player can store up to 4 weapons on their person.
To equip weapons or Powers, tap Mouse 3 to open the selection menu, scroll through the list of currently obtained weapons and powers with the mouse wheel, then tap either the left or right mouse button to equip it to the corresponding hand.

For most Powers, reaching Level 3 will earn you a powerful charged ability that uses up more Energy.

A game based on the TV show within the TV show "King of the Hill", "Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez". Featuring voice clips like "Vaya con dios". You can have "helper nuns", A-Team type enemies, etc....
My idea is to replace sprites images with windows stuff, like a soulsphere would be a picture of a .zip folder with the name "Soulsphere.zip" and when picked up the message is "DATA extracted"
Health, as you might of figured out, is DATA.
Health bonuses will be mini folder icons with "DATA" names, message "DATA recovered"
But i have one question, what program do i use to edit images, and where can i download it?
SAraisXenoQueen wrote:Simple, Redraw all the doom graphics from scratch into HD versions, looking more like detailed drawings than sprites
You know what would make an HD sprite replacement even better? Angle-correct "handedness", also 16 angles for everyone. A lot of work, but I think hi-res sprites would benefit from making the directions "hi-res" as well.
Cat:
Primary attack - claw swipe, standard melee attack, take about 3 or 4 to kill a dog
Secondary attack - pounce, when this attack is used the cat will hiss, then lunge forward through the air claws outstretched. Results in a 1-hit kill 50% of the time. Used to ambush dogs as there is a brief 'charge-up' while hissing before pouncing.
Other abilities - faster movement speed and higher jump height than dog, silent 'pawsteps'. Cats do not suffer falling damage. Cats have permanent night-vision (light-amp)
Dog:
Primary attack: Maul - basic melee attack, dog bites at cat, takes 2-3 hits to kill cat (this way dogs have upper hand in face-to-face brawls with cats, encouraging cats to use ambush tactics)
Secondary attack: Sniff - Holding button causes dogs nose to twitch, making loud sniffing noises apparent to other players. When in use dog moves slower. Temporary pawprint trails left by cats become visible to dog, allowing it to track the cats movements.
(wtf PS3 browser won't let me type any more in one post, so I need to double-post)
Dog
Other Abilities: Dogs are slightly slower than cats, have less jump height but are more resistant to damage. When moving makes light pitter-patter noises as pawsteps.
Both cat and dog players can heal by eating from food bowls placed in the level. These are finite.
Another idea is a Cat and Mouse thing. There is one cat, rest of players are mice (tiny, moves fast, dies in one hit. Has bite attack that's near useless on cat player unless they swarm it). Killing a mouse converts them into a cat (essentialy like Zombie Horde)
Camouflage system - there are separate classes being different colors, if your colors match like the textures you're near, you get partial to full invisibility.
