Ascension - A GZDoom RPG (WIP)

[michael9r9r]

Ascension is an Open-World RPG mod for Doom 2 that I have been working on since April of last year on and off, with no solid schedule. It's coming along, but there is still a whole lot of work to be done. An early version may be ready for the public
within a few months. (no promises)

List of Features-

Leveling System
HUD Showing Level, XP, Skill Points, Credits, Time, and Location.
NPC Villages
Questing
Fast Travel
Skill System
More Complex Melee Combat (Blocking, Parrying, and in the future, charge attacks)
Lots of Weapons, Monsters, and Artifacts
Dungeons (of course)
Chance Dungeons (Enemy and Item spawns are procedurally generated, and some parts of the dungeon's layout too)
RPG Inventory System (5x5 Grid that can store weapons and display stats or flavor text)
More Armor (Several new armor types, with varied buffs such as higher jump height, or more resistance to certain damage types)
More Intricate Monster Behavior (All monsters will have at the very least 2 attacks, and will behave differently the closer to death they are)
Strife Dialogue System (Talk to people like you did in strife, cool)
Extraordinary and Legendary variants of many enemies (Basically just Overpowered normal enemies that drop better loot)
Day to Night cycle (Very Very Barebones at the moment)
Mostly Original Soundtrack (90% of the tracks in the game are composed by me, the rest are remixes of classic Doom, Hexen, or Heretic Tracks)

And some other stuff I probably forgot.


There isn't a lot of media showing the progress made, but more will be created in the near future.

The development of this mod is going to take a while, as I am currently the only one working on it. A friend is willing to assist in creating sprites, and another with writing, so hopefully that will speed the development up a bit.

All constructive criticism is appreciated!
