A screamer in Z2M4
Why? That would take from the gameplay experience way too much, honestly.

The rest all seem to be gimmicks to varying levels, but meh... this one is something best left for jokewads and The Ghoul's forest.

I'd much rather have a dark and suspenseful atmosphere in Z2M4 than a screamer popping up to enhance the level. Screamers aren't scary anymore.

Hmm, I think what you're reffering to is yellowish/orange light emitted from the M7 and later the M8 and M9 buildings rather than rusty flows!

I definitely plan to let the M8 tower slowly appear as you progress through the game, but I'm not really planning the intermission map in detail yet.

I believe that a less lethal ghoul with sudden screams and damage can be used in some of the darker areas as improved versions of the Nightmares. But I prefer the regular Nightmares.

@Vader: it always looked like rusty chemicals leaking from the E2M7 building, to me :)

It looks like light to me.


Leaks make even less sense when you notice that they go uphill from the M7 building...

How about you let them make the damned project their own way and suggest changes once there's actually something to base your judgement off of?

We did that in Z1M8 and IMO it is one of the most annoying things in this map (next to the overly slow and linear layout).
I don't think the Nightmare will reappear in TSoZD anyway, at least not with the old behavior... the complete invisibility doesn't really make this monster fun to fight.

Oh, and there won't be any "screamers", period.

I'd think you were trolling if I didn't know you were the guy currently working on it. :P

A screamer doesn't sound so bad after all. D:
