ZDoom

Personally, I wouldn't like that too much considering I sometimes play doom mouseless with the arrow keys to move my aim. And I hate when recoil just tends to screw up my camera, forcing me to reset it just to get a good shot.

But other than that: The Shotgun single-fire is a bit wonky, I swear with the altfire I can kill those crawling plants with no effort but when using single shots I swear it takes more hits than usual. And I was hitting it when it was "vulnerable", mind you.

Anyways: I'm really liking this thing so far, I actually like it better than the first one.

No recoil please, aside from the sprite offsets and animation. The last thing I want is for me to be pushed back off a platform by my own shotgun.

No way! The way it is right now is perfect, I wish more games did this.

I think there needs to be a better melee weapon for the player. The current fist just sucks.

Sledgehammer, perhaps? ...It sounds like it would be fun.

I was thinking more like the punch-punch-kick combo from Super Mario 64.

I guess i could buff it a bit, we'll see about that ;P

I have this graphic here you could use for the cursor, made from the Mario Paint cursor colored like the Doom gloves.

Guys, I mean the type of recoil that is visual only; it moves your view up and back to the position you were before you fired by the time you stop firing. Zero gameplay changes.

I thought about that but i decided not to implement it because it would be way harder to shoot in mid air while dodging projectiles

How does that make anything harder, unless done do a ridiculous degree?

That's even better.

What the fuck is with everyone's obsession with recoil? Holy shit people, stop using it, it's annoying as hell. Batandy was right to not include it.

It makes it more fun. It's simple, do I want my gun to feel like a water pistol or what it actually is?

It's just downright annoying having to readjust my aim every time. Plus this is a PLATFORMER with instant death pits. It's bound to screw someone over.

Scuba Steve's words of sheer wisdom.
