1. I'm not going to show any other screens, that were already shown in different threads.
If people viewing this topic wish, I may place all released screens here as well (for the sake of consequence).
2. The idea of this topic is very typical newproject type, and it's purposes are as follows:
- I write down whatever I have already decided about the WAD, and decided to make it public.
- And you, fellow forum users, are kindly requested to give away serious ideas for minor improvements, like weapons, monsters, inventory, and such.
- Please
do not post any map ideas - I will not use map concepts that went to the public.
This is meant to be a surprise
If you really eluda taluda have to share your mapping thoughts -
PM me.
3. The serious shit.
The name of the WAD is still uncertain. I did name it
exorcist.wad just for now, to indicate the atmosphere which it is supposed to have. It's a horror-themed Map (
maps?), with you as an amateur occultist and vampire-slayer-wannabe, that in the first place doesn't know a single thing about vampires. You have your trusty
.45cal (without silver bullets tho'), and enough guts to spy on a psychotic priest, accused of 27 ritual murders.
The mentioned priest is believed to lead a cult, which perform dark rituals, and worship gods of neverending death... and you think this is an interesting place to begin your vampire-related research. How naive.
Anyway, this is atmosphere oriented WAD. No midless running, shooting and such. Different types of environments (
to be honest - this is how the map started looong ago: by testing potential enviroment kinds in ZDoom). Lots of different locations, including some in the parralel world of undead known as
the Underdark (
yeah, I consider changing it, as it's from Forgotten Realms).
Almost entire WAD is lighted exclusively with
GZDoom dynamic lights, and I'm doing everything to make it run fast in all locations, but since my computer is a really powerful son-of-a-b***h, I can't say that you will not experience FPS drop in
the Underdark parts of the map. There's also
Solarsnowall's type fog in some places, but I hope that It'll run fine.
This WAD is not supposed to have a lot of weapons and enemies. I would like to have 5-6 weapons with different types of damage, so blowing up a Vampire won't be easy. I'm also thinking about some equipment, maybe even black magic spells to aid you. There's already a flashlight, and it's very helpful.
=======================
If you have read the entire post, and are not asleep yet, then know, that these are the lumps I need most critically:
-undead monster sprites
-horror sounds, and supsense music (
from games, or some horror-movies)
-equipment ideas
