Considering the massive progress we've made with
Paranoiac since the Team's participation after beta-testing, and the many issues we've identified with the original
Paranoid with the newer releases of GZDooM, it seems worthwhile to consider at least a double release (Paranoiac and Paranoid 1.1). My biggest concern is that there is a considerable amount of rework that will be required for Paranoid 1.1 (see above). In other words, the
Paranoiac release could be several months away, even though it is essentially almost complete now - because it is being piggy-backed by the release of
Paranoid.
[One of the important changes we need to make for a re-release of
Paranoid is the introduction of background music for each map. That seemed to be one of biggest complaints of that game.]
As for a re-release of
Paranoia with the newer resources of
Paranoid and
Paranoiac, I think it's a terrific idea, but it seems like a daunting task for me. All the maps would need to be updated with the newer textures and enemies, all new weapon/ammo/health/armor balance would need to be created, I would propose new music, etc. etc. But I'm always open for suggestions and discussion.
Because, you know, we've all got time for that. /sarcasm
You never know how momentum works.
