GHOLAZON X: clone rangers (v5)

[Skelegant]

Update time!
-Added a bigass flail melee so the girls can kill stuff deader
-Tweaked a few sounds and damage values
-Fancied up the super and shadow form gholazons, they now have unique high tier attacks and music
-Added a flesh seed item dropped by the rogues upon death, this can be planted near a downed gholazon to revive her after a few seconds
-Added a new level of fusion stones, collecting all 5 originals will spawn the new ones (collect em all to play as the Solshannah super gholazon)
-Added biopods, they're rarer than metal pods but look way cooler

Some of the new stuff:

Very impressive and badass changes plus screenshots. Those are way impressive already! Also the last pic makes me want to play Action Doom 1 because... Well, play the game if you're curious, people!

I'm loving this. A DBZ inspired super hero doing all sorts of crazy stuff while I'm spectating the fun - contributing and nudging occasionally. Makes for a more relaxing experience that I've been longing for.

Except when the malfunctioning one shows up and I have to dodge more.

update time! Lots of new stuff this time around
-Added a new map (you'll get to it after beating the first map, rocket jump over the map 1 drop pod for a secret level skip)
-Added a big ol kamehameha lookin attack, it's rare but it kills good
-Added three new helpers:
G-1 (big hunky clone dude with a plasma pistol, you can spawn him whenever if you have his egg)
G-3 (tiny spindly things that look like a cross between an anime girl and a grey alien, very unsettling and will revive multiple times)
G-3 head (horrible little shits that scream and puke everywhere)

and I added a bunch of keybinds to summon fun stuff, like random pods or Sapphire or a G-1 orb etc The focus of this mod is on having fun, if you just feel like spawning 20 G-Xs in a slaughtermap and letting em go ham, go ahead and scratch that itch. Fun good.

This mod is getting bigger and bigger. The ambition is so big, it feels like we could ride a giant robot in the next, next update! Hehehahah

By all means, keep it up!

Meatling girls seem to be designed by DrPySpy, just looking at their heads.

[Skelegant]

Nah I get what you mean lol but I drew them from scratch, the design is based on generic late 2000s dead-eyed moe anime girls cuz I always thought they looked slightly unsettling
cuz like, imagine if you ran into one in a dark alley, just starin up at you with massive glassy eyes and plastic-lookin skin, fuckin nightmare material right there

You know, the more I mess around with this mod, the more I think it needs to be played with Highway Acceleroid Booster. Maybe it's just because there's MegaMan X music in here, and the Gholazon title screen having text that looks a lot like the title text of MMX.

Maybe that's just me.

But it just makes me want what would amount to a Booster-based MMX-themed total conversion.

Maybe I should post about this over in the Booster thread, too...

Anyway, good mod. The companion characters at least put up a hell of a lot of fight, with some pretty impressive attack effects. They still sometimes wander into my field of fire, though; but that's just the constant risk of having allies, whether they're AI bots or human players.

You know what else works well with this mod? Combined_Arms Gaiden, a brand spankin new mod my buddy Kegan just released

A... Artiception!

I liked this mod but is it normal for girls to attack me? Instead of dying for enemies I die because of them, it gets to be funny.

The ones that are red and green in color are hostile; but, if you take them down, they drop a "Flesh Seed" that you can use to revive any of the helpers from the mod. In fact, if you use a Seed on one of the red and green ones, she'll revive as a pair of friendlies instead of just one.

Also clone soldiers sometimes flex their arm muscle with a giant dumbbell and then throw the thing. Try pick it up! It prevents you from being killed by the friendly fire.

[D-Shadow]

Thank you all!
Now I'm starting to understand the mod

[Netheritor]

If I make a stats for gholazon, it will be like this:

Power: A (S) ((S)) [Don't misinterpret, okay ]
Defense: B (A) ((EX))
Range: S (S) ((EX))
Speed: ALL B
Resistance: ALL C [Normal. Can be freeze killed, can be polymorphed]
Offensive: ALL A- [Friendly fire is on unless you got dumb bell, many variants in attacks]
Defensive: ALL C {Thrown dumb bell heal you, raise defend (no increase in armor), and give immunity to gholazon attacks]

Note: Gholazon (Dark Gholazon) ((Super Gholazon))

Yeah, that's all.
