X-Wing - Doom fighter Released

Post by Doorhenge »

I know what you'll be thinkin, "what a stupid idea for a doom wad" I thought it was cool though.

I attempted to turn Doom into a Star Wars Arcade flight sim - what's wrong with me?

Just tell me what you think, does it have potential - is it too hard? I can beat it on easy myself, but it was mostly made for multiplayer.

Edit: Remember first to go into sound options in gzdoom/zdoom and turn off underwater reverb. 'cause the stages are really just underwater. :oops:

I didn't think this would work and, yeah, the movement really isn't that much like a spacecraft at all. However, this is surprisingly convincing and you have managed some really cool effects.

Yes it has potential (a lot).

Hmm... yeah, I thought it was a bit tough.

Nice job! I was not expecting this at all but you pulled off a nice feat. Some places for improvement would be the difficulty (I don't think I would be able to do it without God mode) and the maneuverability of the X-Wing. I don't think it is going fast enough (the speed is not good enough to dodge the lasers very effectively making it harder as well) and it is kind of annoying that you can't move up or down. Making the X-Wing always move forward would be a nice touch too because instant stopping and going backward at those speeds would be tricky (crashing into Star Destroyers is fun too) :wink:

It isn't impossible, though a little more room on the outside of the Star Destroyers would be nice. I thought it was fun while it lasted. :)

The sounds feel off, though.

Therefore, assuming the Internet is transitive, no screenies = no fun.

As Enjay said, this certainly has potential, but still needs some work. Still a pretty interesting project as is.

I would upload some screenshots myself, but imageshack won't stop timing out on me.

Yeah, you're batshit crazy. But this was unexpected. Another awesome WAD for the books.

Press jump to move up and set a key to "swim/fly down" to descend. Crouch really should have been descend to swim down for zdoom, like in Duke3D but it's not. :( I thought since the rooms weren't very big it should remain the same. I probably should have made the fighter faster, and make it feel more like a SW fighter.
