Woe Without End

Don't worry, I've already started the sewers, and am in the process of decorating them to look all sewery. Plus, I can actually do things right for some things I was thinking of, now that Graf fixed the 3D floors so you can render the insides, too. So that's quite good.

Now... If only Graf decided to add in crouching, too... That'd be nice for making small tunnels in the sewers... Not to mention the Hexen guy is noticable taller than the Doom guy...

Edit: Grof, that damn Hexen guy is too tall! He's messing up my beautiful work! Blah!

Wow. It looks like we may pull this off. I'm doing some hardcore sculpting with 3D floors in order to produce a decent Idol for the great temple. It should be like nothing yet seen in a doom map. But that's not saying much considering the nature of the project.

Damn straight we're gonna pull this off! First project I've had a somewhat large role in, I'm not gonna let it go to waste. Not to mention it has awesome potential.

Okay, team and community members, it's time for the first big modification to the story. We need new gods. We need new factions. The ones we have now suck. There have to be between six and eight gods (six REAL good ones would be ideal.) The three we cannot lose are:
Baphomet: Demons,
Korax: Beasts,
Death: Undead,
The three who we can hate are:
Shial: Spiders (I hate her. There is NO way we should be able to get a whole faction from one sprite)
Cheogh: Gargoyles/Warborn (This faction was just a place to stow creatures I couldn't fit anywhere else.}
Primus: Statspawn (Just an excuse to use the strife specre/entity sprites)
Please, submit any ideas with an example of the faction the god might lead and the realm it might rule. Strong personalites are direly needed. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick question, this is a Hexen mod, are we using the Hexen palette, the Doom palette or our own custom one? (About to get to work on the shotgun)

Unless someone wants to make us a pallette, we're stuck using the Hexen pallette. (I've done a whole lot of testing with this, and the Hexen pallette looks best with the guhe number of sprite sources we're using)

Also remember that GZDoom supports palletized .pngs, what with true color and all. Though I don't know how well that'd work with weapon sprites...

Yes, but your faction is human/machine, and it works pretty well. We need new gods, as those mentioned above suck. We need gods that are better modeled on myth. I have a few I'm cooking up in the old jacuzzi that we can use, but in the unlikely event somone actually submits an idea, we'll pefer that.

Ooh, ooh, what about gods from Norse mythology? Yah know, like Odin and Thor and Baldur... Of course it'd probably be best to use the more evil gods like Loki and Hel... But still.

There could be some mighty interesting areas built off of that mythology, incorporating the runes and all... heh...

so, is there going to be like an opening cutscene, introducing the story?

BetaSword · Post by **BetaSword** » Sat Sep 24, 2005 12:11 pm

Not quite sure. That's up to Deathsong. It's either that, or you're introduced to the story through talking to various NPCs...

The "opening cutscene" for the teaser is you, equipped with your weeny-ass fists (Phrophet is nowhere near as strong as Doomguy.) getting the shit kicked out of you by demons. When your health goes below five, you fall into a tunnel full of light, and get to see the gods make their adress to what's left of humankind, then you are all sent to Eden. The teaser covers you being trapped in Eden while Belial and Taggert work out the laws of this new world. (The flood is the first chapter of the real one). After the teaser's shocking ending, the real one starts with you waking up in the house of a family that has taken you in. The hard cutscenes to do is the realm cutscenes, which occur when you enter a realm. It's sort of camera tour of the realm, showing breifly the coolest features of the place and displaying the realm's name in big letters.

@BetaSword: Some of my gods are gonna be stolen from Norse mythology. Loki is way overused, but Fenris may make an appearance.

My computer is also likely to be a casualty. Poor me.
