[p33] Reelism 2 - This Mod Has Moved. See OP for details.

[BouncyTEM]

make it to wave 5 on gutrot the first time around, go and buy most of the big items, get killed by the Orb in the second go almost immediately and lose everything.

Yep, that's about right. :v

Damn you, mysterious wazard.

It was sucha fun yet different experience. I swear it's the same game, but it's way different and fancy in a good way. Congratulations on uploading the early version and it deserves more attention. So the game gets nicer and gooder!

---

- It's kinda weird that the reel affects the round much faster than the countdown itself. I'm pretty sure this never happened to the previous game but a short status effect duration where it only lasted like 20 seconds.

- So the Tank Mode is in 3D. Quite nice! But the machine gun feels weak and somewhat accurate than usual, makes it less of a crowd control sidearm. Also i just saw a mage casted the tornado and my tank just float... Is this really magic, or based on a true story?

And about Yeti, where is he from? And i actually expected Skifree one, if you still remember that game.

- Lightning Gun's particle is rather big. It has that "blocking the view" effect as freshly ripped giblets being deliciously dried off on the mid air. And no, the previous one had much narrow particles and were effective.

- Spawners don't glitter anymore. That's gonna make the ammo gathering rather harder to muster like a bastard... Heh i tried

- Quake 1 enemies are bigger than usual. Is this because their hitbox are also bigger?

- Unless you need a big overhaul for the game, i think Reel infos should be placed at the top of the screen. That would be much more easier to notice and quicker to read. It's just my thoughts here.

And speaking of Reel, i think just numbering each one of them sounds stale and still confusing. Why not add more detail to each reels? Like Offense Reel(insert offensive brony meme here), Support/Weapons Reel and Status Reel.

- Is it me? Or the medkit spawn rate just got scarce now? I get the idea of increasing the difficulty, but in large maps, it takes unnecessary amount of punishment to just find it.

- I'm not so sure, but the game crashed again. It runs just fine until the mid round, but it crashes anyways. I'm playing it with GZDoom version g4.4.2. Maybe it's because of the performance issue? It runs fine after i turned off some fancy graphic settings.

- Weirdly enough, the Spawners are sometimes being graphically overlapped by the slopey ground.

- Is there any way to stop myself from charging when i have the rugby ball? Or do i just have to wait until i hit the solid touchdown or jump into angry hooligans for unwanted retirement party? Also here's a Fun Fact: when i get bumped by a wall with tiny gap on it, the running never ends.

Also would be nice if there's an alt-fire that makes you throw the ball. It's okay if i have to throw it on the ground.

- Awwww darn. Do you really had to lower the firing rate of default pistol? It's really weaker and takes more time to clear the crowd from the start... If you happen to face stronger enemies in round 1, good luck i guess.

- I just noticed that the shotgun based weapons do not have knockback effect unlike the previous game. What for? I found it very satisfying to use it up close.

- Oh man, it's good to wield Klobb SMG again... And it's akimbo even! But i would like to reload them manually, if possible. It's from Goldeneye, not from Shadow Warrior. No?

- So Fire Damage is there. Now that's hot. However the death animation caused by it no longer exists. And that's tepid.

- Items running for their lives is very funny and is a game changer. But can i expect them to be much dumber in the next update? The speed is fine, but they're smart enough to strafe like a Quake Pro back in the Millennium.

- The Panic Button is meant to be used for getting out of the madness, correct? But it's quite finicky to use when the starting place is filled with the enemies even. Adding the player some kind of force field or free blast would be appreciated.

- I just noticed something... Where's the number on each Reel? Reels showed their own number and made the jackpot perception easier.

- Food items play medkit's bandage sound effect... I guess they're preserved with Belmond style?

- So about the Boss, Mega Imp, is he literally a Colony of small imps? Goddamn. No wonder why it bleeds dozen of imps and then unfairly lag the game... Maybe make it spawn small imps during the pain state?

- Vanilla Doom tree props float if you look up or down. FORCEYBILLBOARD might fix it.

I'm literally having a blast with REELism 2 right now. Thanks so much for this awesome game!

Played a few rounds, and here's my feedback:

* I noticed that the sock puppets replaced the bronies as the "harmless" enemy. I actually even got the references to what they were supposed to be! What's more irritating than 800 dollar knockoffs of Sesame Street?
* The burned enemies being tinted gray after burning was a nice touch. Maybe have them tinted orange as they run around burning?
* I noticed weapon ammo counts seem to be lower than in the original. Maybe have them restored to the original counts? This might make flamethrowers more effective.
* I found the NULL reference in the map! It's so funny! Maybe since Zapple is also the name of a Shantae character, find a way to make a nod to her at the Zapple booth?
* Some items like the crates seem to be invisible when I play it.
* The Slug Gun is very underpowered, being weak and slow. I suggest giving it a strong altfire like the MetaDoom shotgun and its grenade dropshot.

Replayed Reelism 1 after trying out this demo, I can definitely say that the two feel like markers of periods of modding. Reelism 1 is still impressive in its own right, but what's been made of 2 definitely feels more "modernized", both because of the engine improvements after all of these years and just a general feeling of a better understanding of gameplay and map design (and also interface design, even!). This may just be me, but it kinda feels like resources are more limited than before, though. I found myself running out of weapon ammo and farming from weak enemies with the default pistol a lot.

I've been playing several rounds of Reelism 2, and here is my feedback and questions:

*The Yeti or not reel was originally a scrapped reel in Reelism 1?
*The Ranger Danger reel would be better with Rottweilers added.
*Is it possible to add custom NPCs to town via modding?

I've played it for about an hour and a half and I've got to say that this is a well-done experience. There hasn't been a second where I couldn't stop grinning or chuckling from how absurd the matchups can be! There are some bugs/suggestions/questions that I'd like to bring to the thread; feel free to let me know if there's something I'm missing since I've only played five rounds.

1. When you are shrunk down from Micro-Mode and you try to use the football weapon up towards a slope, the player will stop tackling as if he hit a wall (try it on Astrolab X since that's where the bug occured).

2. Is it possible to revamp the starting pistol so that it has its' own visual style rather than using MetaDoom's? I like the idea of having an energy pistol with unlimited ammo, but I think the weapon itself can be changed to fit Reelism's style.

3. How much of Reelism 1's content will be in the final version? Will there be maps or weapons that were cut from the first mod?

Overall, I think that this is a major technical improvement from the first mod and I can't wait to see how the final version will look like. Excellent work, Kinsie!

[Captain J]

It changed a lot, including the Flamethrower. For some reason it's ineffective in mid range combat and just disappears way too quickly. It goes wide, sure, but the damage is not really powerful than the previous one.

But after thinking about previous one had massive amount of damage, i think it's a wee bit of an downgrade.

[slayerogames]

Why did you use the Deathmatch Simulator SSG Sprites?
and if you plan to change them, could you change them to the Doom Eternal SSG Sprites? Because the Doom Eternal Shotgun feels a bit lonely.

[Captain J]

So yeah... These dogs are way loyal to me and manage to corner that poor ox. He has no damage given from the dogs so he just don't even fight back, making the boss fight rather easy.

And btw, can you PLEASE make the explosive projectiles like rockets and grenade glow in the dark? They're like a living PTSD nightmare especially in dark places...

[BouncyTEM]

So, it's a work in progress and i've only got the bare-bones started (for one thing, I need to gather more sounds for half of the enemies), but I do already have an additional reel of enemies - PIRATES!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/a0zlmsnym3mw0 ... k.pk3?dl=1

they're pretty aggressive and overall pretty dangerous (and the reel reminds me of the daggerfall one from reelism 1 tbh) but they're fun. They occassionally drop coins on their death to add even more points.

EDIT: Oh hell yes it does

DOUBLE EDIT:

Also i just found out that the smoke is way wavy and sometimes gets cut off like that. And is this intentional? I can fire a tank shell much faster now. It makes the machine gun way obsolete.

[eltiolavara9]

okioekoekaoekokok so its amazing as expected but i have some observations or whatever
-double shotgun feels really weak (maybe i'm using it wrong)
-it's harder to find medkits compared to 1 (maybe it's just weird luck)
-i keep getting the sock puppet reel but im pretty sure it's just weird luck and that it'll be less common after more get added
also, is there gonna be new content added to reels that are already in? just curious
the town is really, really cool
edit: also having to wait a few seconds to retry after dying is kind of annoying after a while imo

[Beed28]

Found a bug that I think nobody's pointed out yet; the upper half of the flying demon things from Quake 1 don't seem to get cleaned up after a while.

[Arctangent]

this is, without a doubt, the world's #1 melissophobia simulator

[Gothic]

I get this error when I throw a basket ball with the Gun Runner reel:

Also Pie in the Sky is proof that the Football weapon needs to have a brake function.
