Here's my latest idea. I don't want to make it fade away in case i lose motivation for it. I also need to work it a lot before i get it into pratice.
It's a monster pack called "Checkmate". The thing is simple:
Doom monsters with chess-ish rankings. Each of these rankings (pawn, knight, rook, bishop...) affect their stats and attacks, and will be represented by a symbol above the monster head; say, a pawn cacodemon fires a projectile that's roughly similar to the original. A rook cacodemon can fire a projectile that explodes on a "+" pattern, launching 4 more projectiles. A Bishop acts the same, but the projectile explodes on a "X" pattern. The projectiles will be stronger according to the ranking too. Things included on the plan are also:
- Capablanca rankings (Chancellor and Archbishop)
- All monsters with Black and White versions of themselves (With Black variants taking more time to act, given the chess rules. Either that could be achieved by a slower A_Look time or a Bigger A_FaceTarget during the attack states).
I haven't noted down too much. If anybody's interested on details, i am open to discussion
