Doom is cool, I still need to finish that game. Glory kills are a good idea but they don't require any skill to execute. For a better implementation of the same idea look at the Zandatsu mechanic from MGR.

he's right. It's Serious Sam with a Doom skin, though better than Serious Sam. The only Doom map it's similar to is Dead Simple

Dead Simple is probably Sandy Petersen's best map though??

Also, I thought I might be working on gun's tonight to get to the end of em quickly, but turns out I'll have different art to draw, making a few missing assets for some quests.

It's true that the design philosophy in Doom 4 isn't exactly Doom-like, but it's certainly in the spirit of fast paced FPS games of the 90s. One of the biggest differences is the structure of the levels; old Doom just wants you to run around quite short mazelike stages getting keys, with only a few instances where you actually need to kill enemies to progress. Meanwhile, for the most part, doom 4 is really long stages of mostly-linear corridors blocked off by mandatory monster arenas. There's some very light puzzle elements and some branching but mostly it's just moving forward until you're not allowed to move forward until everything's dead.

yeah i dunno how that other guy said it was the "most doom" when you nailed it. i would've liked the game way more if it hadn't pretended to be doom.

also enemies dropping health pickups and not having cool canned death animations and doing that weird flicker thing when they die.

In the relatively near future could we get a new progress report on the bballbisse Tumblr?

Seriously, periodically demonstrating that you are in fact alive and working would be a really good PR move.

Apparently even Star Citizen's backers have grown restless in recent weeks after the last press conference announcing loving Nothing. But between their $140 million and your $120k or so, only you have shown that your core gameplay mechanics exist in some sort of functional state.

Frankie can load his gun's into a test build and actually shoot them as they are intended to be shot, and firing them doesn't make the entire game engine poo poo it's pants and crash to desktop. So really, his jpg gun's are better and more real than any Star Citizen spaceship.

Is this some kind of joke?

The level transition between Dead Simple and Tricks and Traps is just depressing, marking the exact shift from "that was fun" to :wtf: and the game never recovers.

Not even 'O' of Destruction can save the rest of it

Even Doom isn't the best Doom game. Shareware Doom is. The other two episodes are just Petersen going farther into the deep end the farther he strays from Hall's designs. (This is why Pandemonium is the best map in Inferno.)

Ultimate Doom has some nice map designs, but the progression is poo poo and it suffers from the same boring architecture monotony as shareware Wolf3d.

Doom 2016 was great. But enemies are so mobile that it makes every enemy encounter feel a little too samey, it really limits how varied the level design can be. You can do so much with the toolset of classic doom just through enemy placement, but everything in Doom 2016 gets up in your grill seconds after spawning. That said, it was really good at what it did, and I had a grand ol time playing through it.

Also, in other news, there are 32 gun's left to draw. The gun's are at 98%. I will probably not finish them in tonights's stream, but I will come very close for sure. If you want to watch, catch the stream at 8pm EST.
After the gun's are all drawn, I will switch wedesdays' work day to be about animated portraits. This is probably when I will be making backer portraits, and also filling in a few of the gaps left in the Barkley2 npc portraits.

If at all possible please contact the backers (like me) when you think you will get to their portrait. Thank you and Clispaeth bless.

Well, as a matter of fact, me and gz have been plotting some KS update(s), mainly just a whole bunch of pics and vids, maybe a few choice words about what's the haps, since there really isn't much interesting to say about the developement. Right now it's just doublechecking NPC's and testing out quests in every possible permutation, eliminating loose ends. Just a tedious churn basically, especially because it seems like half of them don't loving work like they should without spending a few hours fixing them.

Hopefully after the next time we update we don't slip back into the ol' radio silence and repeat the gun's updates disgrace. I think it was a disgrace but also kinda funny in how it was setting up this glorious streak of updates but then completely fell on it's rear end.

Frankie will prob finish all the gun's sprites next wednesday and then it's time to really start replacing all these lovely temp sprites and putting in missing grafix which I think will energize the project by a good amount. The infamous "Juice Rut" will be history.

Literally even knowing that quests exist beyond what's in the demo is more information than we had before this post.

I mean, sure, you do you, the end product will be worth it, but radio silence is way less cool than even a drip feed of tiny "here's a thing we did this past month" updates to me :shobon:

These booty jams are the most misleading genre name since boring electronic music for boring white girls stole trap as a genre name from rap.

edit: The first dj's song made me smile though, and the anime guy not actually being a master but playing some poo poo tier song was funny too. I figured it would go the other way where he just drops the sickest beat.
