[Stopped for now] DN Brutal Doom Pack

[DoomNukem]

some more progress, added a scope not sure if ill keep it like this, but I think if I coloured the lens red itd look nice, the problem lays in the aiming, would people feel uncomfortable with the scope being used to ads?

Reaper's rifle is just an H&K G36 with a plastic box over the handguard and barrel.

Edit: I'd suggest going easy on the sharpen/unsharp mask on your sprites, DoomNukem because the digital sharpening is really obvious. You're using too much of it.

Yeah because nearest neighbour is crap with scaling in photoshop rescaling with bicubic resampling tends to make the guns go a bit blurry so I compensate with the sharpening but I agree I think I did go overboard on the ar, above is a less sharpened approach I think is easier on the eyes.

The shotgun and assault rifle look very similar

yeah they do have a similar profile, but its only really evident because your comparing it to the original brutal doom one, not the one I'm including in this pack, but you put the idea of a scope in my head, im only about 80% happy with it at this point
but and I dont like the idea of obnoxious sights filling up the screen.

Do you plan on covering all the Brutal Doom weapons (like grenade launcher/rail gun) or just the basic Doom 2 weapons? I only ask because the quality of these sprites is beyond anything I've seen, ever. I am ridiculously pumped for when this releases. (Will bribe for ETA... seriously.)

When this eventually does come out, will it replace the majority of weapons for Brutal Doom or will we be able to replace weapons individually? There's just so much variety to your work, and I'm really looking forward to see what other weapons you'll do before release (In particular, I'm looking forward to seeing if/how your work on the more "electronic" appearing weapons like the BFG turns out in comparison to your stunning work on more traditional firearms).

I plan on covering every gun at this point, but grenade launcher, rail gun wont come till much later.

SUPER WORK!!. Can you make a download link please? or you not finished?

sorry mate, Im not finished yet, and the damn profile settings wont let me make a new name.

This "other" DoomNukem has been contacted about his name. Hopefully this confusion can be cleared up.

Maybe u should add reflex scope?

[DoomNukem]

some idea for different optics, might settle on a green version of the last one.

Thankyou, it just seems a bit sus.

not going to add an or a standard reflex eotech, im not really going for tactical, and these honestly don't look good or add any character to the weapon.

Really don't blame you. They're so over used in today's culture, it's not funny. Besides, having a 'reflex sight' or an EOTech holographic sights doesn't add to how the gun performs. It's just 'cool factor' that a lot of Call of Duty players seem to enjoy. But those sights look pretty nifty. I'm partial to the green one my self. Sort of Borderlands-ish in style.

I wonder why you started using black lines in your high-resolution base images. I like the SMG one a lot better because it lacked such very noticable lines, and it looked very Doom-like.

ah the reason I started using black lines were to help with scaling down and keeping shape, i am going to minimize it where I can, the smg is still in it will replace the mp40

I agree, and it comes off as that "tacticool" bullshit that you'll find pretty much anywhere.

And yes, I am noticing those thin black lines.

Personally, I'd prefer the last optic sight. There's just something about it that looks very Doomy.

Loving it! only thing is the crosshair should be the most colorful part, in neon something. the glass should be transparent and "background". love the first and third scope designs. i also like this in the black frame. also, bolt catch, perhaps a little bit bigger might make it more "assaulty".

soooo cool... the first optical sight rifle in doom!

I dunno about the crosshair, I might try white, but there will be no transparency theres only so much detail you can add to sprites with such a small amount of pixels before they look bad and besides that, the perspective of the non ads' frames dont have the view look straight through scope, you cant use a scope when hipfiring. I will make the bolt a bit bigger however.

Of course when your aiming with it it will be transparent

[doomfiend]

Personally I like the Acog look of the 2nd one, Not a fan of the first one at all seeing that box like scope feels out of place. the last one would be my 2nd pick. feels very... Doomish? The 2nd scope could use a different color, Maybe a green, red or maybe even a faint blue?

[xenoxols]

looking forward to a release.

Update, here's a test version, check the first post for more information.

:O!

So much for studying! /immediately starts up game

I didn't want to like the concept of the sights on the rifle, but they came out really really good! I'm glad you didn't go with the EOtech generic "floating reticule!" The effect looks just great in-game!

[VICE]

Looking good. I'm a bit partial to the assault rifle but is does look better than the standard one either way.
Also, the pick up sprite for the sawed-off, shouldn't the barrels be a little shorter? They look longer than they are on the HUD sprite.

Anyway, I'm going to fire it up and kick some ass. Good stuff, can't wait to see the rest.
