[Beta] Contra Doom b06 - Wanted: Player skins

[VriskaSerket]

Contra DooM with melee sounds more like Metal Slug DooM to me. The knife in that game was a little wonder weapon.

Metal Slug Doom?
That's... Not a bad idea... Not at all...
And it would be pretty much like this mod! Except different weapons, only 1 weapon slot, a melee button and a grenade button!
And of course, the explosions from MS. They're too iconic.

Not quite as purist as you're describing, but Scuba Steve beat you to the punch years ago:

Oh, I'm very well aware of Action Doom's existence, but it just ain't the same.

I'm now actually, vaguely curious as to how Action Doom would play with Contra Doom patched in.

Everything would die even more absurdly fast, including you.

[Captain J]

but least you don't need to load the game all over again until you are out of lives.

So, for this next patch, I'll need to include sprites for the Doom marine, shotgun, and possibly the stimpack.

The question is, which would be the better option? Include the ones from the Doom wads, converted to PNG, or use the ones from Freedoom instead?

about doom marine replacement,

---

since bill razor's best friend, lance bean betrayed him and died tragically in contra: shattered soldier,

i think bill razor or probotector(as an optional choice.) might be fitting.

[VriskaSerket]

That's the original gun. So, what do you plan to use to replace the shotgun?
This one really reminds me of the machinegun from Wolfenstein 3D for some reason...

Also, the last designs for Probotector in their latest appearances start to look like a VF-0S...

But didn't Contra 4 retcon that?

[Captain J]

the wiki says contra 4 is based on 2638 years, earlier than shattered soldier; 2647 years. otherwise bill and lance was still alive and lance didn't betrayed him yet.

oh, and about probotector, again, for optional choice.

[xenoxols]

Regardless, this is based on Contra 3 isn't it? So that would make Lance still a viable option.

[Captain J]

whatever you say, man. i do miss him a lot, so why not.

[VriskaSerket]

About the weapon sprite, I can make one, buuut it would be a 3D model screenshot. So, unless anyone here can "pixelize" it or whatever to make it look like a legit sprite, then it won't be of much help.
But, again, I can do it, just in case.

[TehRealSalt]

Awesome, that's actually the part I was having trouble with when I attempted it; I'm no good at models or making it from scratch. I'll send ya a PM!

The way it should have been

For thou who sleeps in stone and clay
Heed this call, rise and obey
Trek unto the mortal door
Assemble flesh, and walk once more!

TL;DR: I hope this isn't dead.
