This is truly a thing of beauty

Looks promising, and never seen those sprites before in doom mods! Gotta try out and prepare my thoughts!

And just played for few minutes, very promising and is she has four arms? That's really hilarious and unique style this mod has! Nice work!

---

- When thrown Single Shotgun explodes, its explosion sprite is way too small.

- Double Shotguns are really satisfying to use, except the pumping animation seems doesn't make sense; Is she rolling her arms to replace the fired shotgun into loaded one? If that's true, she's rolling them way too fast despite they seems has long barrel. And i simply can't sort the single shotgun and double shotguns since the shotguns overlaps each other closely. Why not just set them as good ol' dual revolver style?

Also it has no decals and altfire doesn't releases shotgun casing at all. And its pickup sprite is blood akimbo dual sawed-off, while she's having a dual pump-action shotgun. Intentional?

- 9mm Camera has no altfire at all. So here's my idea, why not make it akimbo as well? And i mean you can fire it akimbo when pressing the altfire.

- Tron Disc Thing's primary projectile is much different than secondary one and has biggest explosion ever.

- When i got Disco Cannon, i thought it would fire rainbow particles, but nope. Just only red particles. And yet it has no altfire and decal. Any ideas?

- Universal Remote's primary fire is doesn't much useful; What is it actually do? Making monsters fighting each other?

Now it's time for the monsters;

- Red Obliterator fires chaingun, and that's fine. But the grey one fires... Shotgun. Even though it has barrel rotating chaingun like red one has. Is little bit of edit possible for this guy?

- Old Meatloaf's 3-way slime shots deals too much damage, even i had a megaarmor it killed me in few seconds anyways. And yet its projectiles doesn't have decal.

- Ubermosh has same problem as meatloaf as well; multiple projectiles, deals horrendous damage in each projectile.

- When Gloom Dragon explodes, the explosion goes on until it's disappeared for sure. And yes, it deals awfully great damage too, and it makes crowded monsters cries in fear.

- Demonic Goddamned Spider is Goddamn OP indeed. Moves too fast, same goes with its projectile. Even though it has weak health but it still makes me tormented.

- Boogly-eyed Roomba is not so tough enemy to face... But here's one thing; IT CAN RESURRECT THE BOSS MONSTERS. Oh the horror...

- The main problem of the monsters are the sound effects, they gets noisy and annoying when they are horde of them. Especially the Jersey Devils... MAKE THEIR MOANING STOP!!

So that's all about it. This is one funky space time fun wad i ever played! And gotta love the funkybot8000's groove-move, too!

Hey I played your mod and its very cool :3, that bizarre but cartoony and challenge mod, a person with 4 arms, original idea for a mod
btw I made my own version of the protagonist
I made after I saw the video of surreal killer with wooo3.
keep going with your mods
btw Im only made one frame.

Just imagine how much hand-eye coordination wielding two revolvers like that would take.

That still looks awesome for one frame. You should finish it when you get the chance.

I couldn't think of a good altfire for the camera, and I couldn't get the disco cannon's altfire to work properly. If I think of new ones I'll add them, but sadly at the moment they gotta do without. I also left the small explosion sprite for the shotgun missile 'cos the explosion itself doesn't do as much damage as a regular rocket...though I guess it could be a TAD bigger, in hindsight.

I found this wonderful only by watching it's gameplay. Gotta play now.

But, my only nitpick is using of quake 2 sounds. Other than that, seems awesome! As soon as i play it, i'll bring a better feedback

EDIT: Okay, i haven't opened the file on slade yet, but i've got some feedback and questions so far:

- What does Universal remote primary fire do?

- There's too much flickering on animations. I know it's too little time since it's up, i'm just noting that some animations blink on screen when they could use some offsets. Tron discs, both shotguns, peacemaker(s)...

- Punching has no sounds.

- Colt Peacemaker standard fire is kinda slow; Western altfire of course fires it faster. But that same secondary leaves revolver frames smoother than primary fire. So my suggestion (that would apply to the shotgun as well) is to speed up just a bit for the sake of smoothening and add some ticks before refire to leave it on the original.

That or even adding a +WEAPON.NOAUTOFIRE to leave the trigger on player's hands. Makes things more fast paced, in my opinion.

- Peacemaker(2) alternate fire flickers the hand(s) as well. Maybe a single sprite of a lowering hand would do it.

- Do you plan to add reloads?

- Do you plan to add custom ammo boxes?

That's all for now, i think. Can i work on a edited version and post it here, if possible? I'm really liking this game, it has a great potential.

P.S.: The baby milk sound is from a Super Nintendo game. I just can't remember which. Is it from some Donkey Kong game?

keep the great job!!!

UPDATE: Version 1.2 fixes a few things, such as enlarging the shotgun rocket blast sprite a bit, missing hud face frames, etc. Also added the Skulltag TimeSphere and an "secret" enemy that drops the extra revolver.

- What does Universal remote primary fire do?

The manual explains. It activates shootable walls/switches.

- There's too much flickering on animations. I know it's too little time since it's up, i'm just noting that some animations blink on screen when they could use some offsets. Tron discs, both shotguns, peacemaker(s)...
- Peacemaker(2) alternate fire flickers the hand(s) as well. Maybe a single sprite of a lowering hand would do it.

Are you playing in GZdoom? If you use it in other source ports you're bound to have glitches, I think.

- Punching has no sounds.

You mean on impact? They should make the standard impact sound.

- Colt Peacemaker standard fire is kinda slow; Western altfire of course fires it faster. But that same secondary leaves revolver frames smoother than primary fire. So my suggestion (that would apply to the shotgun as well) is to speed up just a bit for the sake of smoothening and add some ticks before refire to leave it on the original.

Well, it's supposed to be slow since it's a single-fire revolver with a lot of accuracy and power. The slow fire rate is the tradeoff; likewise, the alt fire trades accuracy for speed.

- Do you plan to add reloads?
- Do you plan to add custom ammo boxes?

Nah, I'm going old school with this one.

That's all for now, i think. Can i work on a edited version and post it here, if possible? I'm really liking this game, it has a great potential.

I'd prefer not, although at some point I might start a thread to make a community megawad to go along with it. If it proves popular enough, anyway.

P.S.: The baby milk sound is from a Super Nintendo game. I just can't remember which. Is it from some Donkey Kong game?

It's one of several sound effects used in Three Stooges shorts when the Stooges drink from a bottle. I used a lot of Stooges sound clips in the mod. See also: the ghostly sounds of the Boogedyman, the annoying sounds of the Jersey Devils, and of course the Mosh Family's Curly noises.

[Captain J]

EDITING AGIAN I'M SO DUMB: Yes, her 3rd person sprite has four arms. But not much accurate as title screen ones; she's not tanned nor looks like it.

[mekanchest]

hey I played more your mod and its very cool :3, well look what I have done.
je a fan sprite art . well keep going with the work

[ImpieTwo]

lol That's pretty awesome man.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

No problems

I'm keeping an eye on this! But tell me, sorry if that's too dumb: Is it an original idea? Or these characters already exist? I mean, it's very creative. Hard to see original concepts middle of many mods.

[ImpieTwo]

The monsters, allies, and guns all come from one thing or another. I mention the sources on the credits page (the pdf credits tend to be more up-to-date).

EDIT2: Also, for a real interesting time, load up the 1 Monster wad and try it with Surreal Killer.

[Gamer With Dignity]

I just got the reason why she has four arms lol. I dig it! Are you going to add the ability to dual wield different weapons, such as a shotgun and a pistol at the same time, like it shows in the level completion screen?

Probably not. I don't think it'd really add much to the gameplay, and it'd be beyond my decorate abilities anyway.
