Is that really surprising? I heard Russian dubs where a single male voice actor would voice both men and women.

i thought original was male too

[Captain J]

Yeah, i thought that too. It's quite amazing.

Is the pain animation of the Doom 64 Cacodemon supposed to be what appears to be the first frame of his death animation? Looks kinda awkward if it is.

I love the Soulcube, but it needs a few tweaks. The amount of drops should scale depending on the enemy used, because using it on an imp or a low-tier enemy practically fills all your ammo up to maximum. Convenient, but a bit overkill.

Also, I don't know if this is a bug with Metadoom or just a quirk with how (G)ZDoom handles weapon preference, but it was annoying to use the Soulcube and have it switch to the Plasma Gun rather than the (at least what I had) more powerful Unmaker. Maybe it should switch to the last weapon you had equipped instead. It would also be nice to have just a "quick use" Soulcube button even though that's not how it was handled in Doom 3, just to keep the action flowing and to avoid fumbling through all your weapons to activate it.

Everything else is pretty solid, from my experience of going through vanilla Doom II with this. Like the new enemy variants, don't mind the new Cybie (though my obsessiveness would've made this new one a variant rather than an outright replacement), and I only saw a few quirks that could be fixed easily (such as making a separate gibbed sprite for the Malwrath, using certain weapons made gibs appear but the corpse absolutely disappear).

I've just noticed that attacking a monster next to a wall with the fire extinguisher makes blood decals appear, even though it's otherwise having no effect like it's supposed to. I was testing this with an imp if I need to be that specific.

[Exeor]

The Unmaker sprites remind me the Reaper from the second Doom 2016 dlc A LOT. Nice touch

Have you considered adding the Maggot and the Wraith as possible Demon variants?

Also, according to the changelog, you have "replaced stealth monsters with normal MetaDoom spawners", yet I still encounter Spectres. What gives?

Finally, I suggest you add flares as an additional piece of equipement.

Spectres aren't "Stealth monsters" insofar as what Zdoom considers them. Stealth monsters are a seperate and horrible thing in Zdoom which are normally completely invisible but fade in when they attack or take damage.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Oh, so they work like the Nightmare Imp and the Spectre in Brutal Doom 64?

I did not know there were other mapsets out there featuring stealth monsters.

[DoomKrakken]

Not exactly. You can still see the Nightmare Imps/Demons while they're moving... albeit occasionally.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

stealth monsters are pretty much not used in ZDoom mapsets nowadays. it was used a lot in the older 2000s stuff when it was more of a new thing, and quickly became reviled after it was overused, and simply because they're not very well-designed enemies anyway.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Another suggestion, this time for the Axe: should it not be effective against other small humanoid enemies such as the Imps and the Hell Razer?

Also, I propose the following: instead of being the Pistol's Alt Fire, the Flashlight could be an item that would use one equipement ammo per x amount of time. This would allow the player to navigate dark enemy-infested areas without having to constantly switch between the Pistol and a better weapon.

Finally, have you considered increasing the Holy Water Pistol's ammo cap? 15 does not seem much.

And also the Vulgar, a possible imp variant, Realm667 already had sprites for the Vulgar and Wraith, so yeah.

Bella 2 has stealth monsters anyway
