As always, thank you all for playing! I've taken a lot of criticism and feedback into account for a v1.1 build, and it should be coming out very soon, give or take a few bits of polish and balance testing. I didn't get to squeeze in every feature I'd wanted to (the option to swap between 1 SMG and 2 is more difficult than I thought, as is interrupting reloading by whipping), but hopefully it takes care of a lot of troubles.

This is excellent, I look forward to a next update if there is one.
Have you thought about creating Intermission Text for main wads (DooM I, II, Final Doom) just like you did for Strange of Aeons?
Thank you very much!
I've thought of it, but with a whole ton of mapsets that make use of custom intermission screens, I'd rather not and would rather keep compatibility.
I'm told that it's possible to edit intermission stuff in ZScript now, but I haven't experimented with it yet. If it's possible, I'd like to down the line, with an option to either randomize text or go back to default text if needed.

I was wondering Ever thought of turning this gem into something compatible with maybe reelism especially with the ol west reel that you can get
Thank you!
Unfortunately, Reelism compatibility is not very likely. There would need to be far too many modifications made to the player in order to have them properly modified by the Reelism reels. Sorry.

I just played a whole map using nothing but the grenades and still had 13 left after killing everything including a baron. Oh and the slide feature doesn't seem to work on my end. Using gzdoom3.1.0 32 bit. Great work Terminus

In a fairly open space it only takes one less grenade to kill a baron than it would with the RL.In an enclosed space, maybe less.

Thank you!
Yeah, the main culprit here for the grenade's strength are the shrapnel. Rippers are unpredictable, but they're powerful in groups. The actual main explosion itself is less damaging than the vanilla rocket, but it's the shrapnel that start shredding through everything afterwards. So I'll reduce the damage just a touch.
Allowing less in the inventory doesn't strike me as a good idea, since a lot of maps intentionally feed player a lot of rockets in order to take care of things.

This is a surprisingly popular request.
I gave it an attempt for v1.1 and wasn't able to get it down, unfortunately. Sorry! I'll try again another time in another build.

Most of the weapons are pretty damn good and balanced. There are some that I want to address though, along with some suggestions to give.
1. Bow & Arrows - If there is an ammo counter present for these, I am blind and don't see them. When I picked these up I thought they were infinite ammo like the boomerang, but I quickly ran out of arrows sniping Revenants from across the map. Other than that, it would be great if there was an upgrade or alt-fire to use against bigger targets since this is the only sniper rifle type weapon in the game. Maybe something like an enchanted arrow alt-fire that you have to charge up to fire to deal heavy damage to a target.
2. Demon Mode - For some reason this takes 40 energy to summon and 40 to unsummon. I think it would be better if it just costed 80 to summon, maybe even bump it up to 100 because of how powerful this thing is.
3. Revolver - This would be perfect if it dealt the same damage as the boomerang. I thought it was a little silly that a chaingun zombie could take up 4 rounds to kill from a revolver, but only 1 hit from a boomerang. This does not mean the boomerang needs to be nerfed, I think it's perfect as it is for short range silent kills.
4. Shotgun - I was really hoping this would have been a Winchester model to fit the cowboy theme, maybe we could get this in the future?
5. Dual SMGs - Same thing with the shotgun, it would be interesting to keep having the character show his age using extremely old weapons in and past his era. Instead of using TEC-9's from the late 80's, maybe something from WW1 like a Villar Persosa.
6. Grenades - Nothing wrong here, I like them a lot. Though the amount of bouncing they do is unorthodox. A simple suggestion I could give for these to make sense is during one of the throw frames, make the grenade glow as if he enchanted it to throw it like that.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
1: In 1.1, you should be able to re-pick-up arrows that you've missed, so that should help a lot with ammo. I'm surprised you didn't get an ammo counter, though. What HUD and resolution do you use? Maybe I've missed an aspect ratio.
2: Changed to 80, thank you!
3: Yeah, it's a little strange that a boomerang would do more damage than a gun, but the revolver already does quite a bit of damage compared to vanilla at 10-30 damage per shot with a MUCH faster rate of fire. Adding even more seems like it might eclipse the other weapons. Still, if I add more to this, I might add a slider similar to the Damage slider, but for extra revolver damage instead.
4: This is a pretty common point of criticism. The more people raise it, I'm thinking more and more that the shotgun model wasn't really a good choice. Unfortunately, though, fixing it is going to be a matter completely and entirely out of my hands--it'll depend entirely on if my friend who got me the model in the first place would be willing to rip another model instead. I'll give him another ask, once he's free from uni.
5: As mentioned, they're already quite old weapons! They're based on the M3 Grease Guns from WWII, certainly not TEC-9s.
6: Glowing frames would be interesting. I'll have to try that, thank you.
This isn't toe-stepping at all! If anything, I'm extremely interested in this and would love to see what you've got with it.
I've also got something coming next update that would be extremely, extremely interesting or useful to you.
Please feel free to keep on with it, I'd love to see it.

Heretic support, yes! Heretic support is in for v1.1.
Hexen support, no. Hexen comes with its own set of issues that I'm not 100% on how to tackle. I might not tackle them at all, as Hexen isn't a very popular game!
