[v2.5a /idgames Release!] Zen Dynamics: A ZDoom Revolution

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

@TDA: Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize this! The only thing is, I don't want to change this now because I've become so dependent on semi-auto firing the ChaosZero in Map08 to take out a few far-away enemies... :P

And thanks for your comments and support, everyone. Zen ain't dead, and I'll get around to fixing stuff sometime soon. One of these days, it'll truly be finished, but it seems to be suffering from LWM Syndrome (no offense if she's reading this somehow)... too many betas and never a full release. :P


Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but since someone mentioned modarchive, check this song out. It somehow got me an "Editor's Choice" of sorts by the site admin, so maybe it's somehow halfway decent.

WTF? How can I not have it already!? I'm out of the loop! How many more are there I'm missing?

EDIT: Wow, very very nice. Right up there with atlas_x.


EDIT 2: Man you still rock... Dang.
Respect for the IT master. :rock:

Heh, Bio, you actually liked Memory? For some reason I find the chord sequences to be a bit too repetitive, although a bit unique so to speak.

And Chaos Theory is a tad generic, really, so maybe that's why you weren't so impressed, Doomrater. At least it has a bit of structure this time around. I usually either make songs too repetitive ("Chrome City") or too random ("Timezone"). CT is my most 'balanced' song since Atlas Rising and Nosotros, in my opinion.

Now to sort of change the subject (again in my own thread, haha), check out this odd 'remix' a friend did of a freakishly old (as in, not uploaded for justice) song of mine: Egotistic Prophet. This is certainly some odd techno stuff... packed into just 4 channels, too. o_O

I think my favorites have got to be atlas_x, kdizd_x and hypers_x, even tough the second doesn't count so much.

I also like funkin_x, zendyn_x memory_x and too. Very nice.

Heck, I like a ton of your stuff. That's why I have 155 of your songs... :)

I'm not sure what I liked abour memory_x. I just did. Usually I don't like the rapid synth either. It's probably the breaks or the melody or something.

You also need to make a hybrid of zendyn_x and hypers_x. They are close enough as it is. hypzen_x heh.

What's the difference between the 2 hand machineguns? They seem to essentially be the same gun.

Some of the secondary attacks seem pointless and added "just because", especially the hand machine guns, the shotgun and the magnum. What's the point of the machete secondary fire?

The Hand Machine Gun is MUCH better now with faster reloading, as are the dual plasma gun things. Also auto reloading after you run out of ammo is nice.

The ability to skip cutscenes is good, and the Objectives menu does help a bit.

Markedly imporved over the last release I played.

Hey Xaser, one of these days when you're ready to finalize this... you need to make a scripted ending cutscene... the typical Doom-style ending is so boring. =(

It's really handy to be able to bounce enemie's projectiles back at them and then run in for a swipe. Works best after shooting up the blue stuff.

I was playing a few weeks ago and learned how to do a bunch of nifty tricks with the machete.

I didn't even know the machete even HAD a secondary fire. Of course, uh, I'm still helpless vs. those cacophiles. They're so fast!

Spoiler:
On the topic of the weapons, I hate the look of the new shotgun.
