[WIP: Demon: Experimental Horror]

Post by Drake Raider »

Okay, after the moon trilogy is in indefinate hiatus for obvious reasons, and I'm not sure how to finish Burton, as I hit a stump on scripted boss battes ala LoZ, I am working on a single map wad which will use many elements to foocus on fear over intensity. In fact, the gameplay will be rather slow until you reach the final third of the level. It'll feature zombies, and I'm using alot of randomizers to make the gameplay as unpredictable as possible. Also, I'm aiming to have it as Hi-res as possible. However, there will be an option to play lo-rez. It has a unique deathmatch mode.

For work credit before I start posting screenies,
I'm using:
id Software's Quake 2 Models and skins as bases
Doomero's d3 Weapon sprites
Risen3d's hi-res textures,
some Vavoom models, (which will remain nameless due to use in mod)
And some elements of the gore system used in Sergeant_Mark_IV's BrutalDoom (Also, if I can, I'd like to impliment the headshot system. However, I'm not going to use much, and I'm already editing your base sprites.)

The weapons and Zombie system are my own work. As will be most of the rest of it.

Screenies:
A big open starting room displaying the hi-res glory and my custom hud. It'll use the battery life of the recorder as a health meter.[spoiler]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/8558/s ... 105042.png
This is somewhat complicated, the hand is an icon representing an action, the card is the action taking place.

New starting area, from which you enter the base.

One of the barriers in the level, a fire.

And the light randomally goes red.

I have no idea how I got a screenshot exactly as the lights flickered on, but in the garden maze area:

Most importantly: Before I release, I would like to have a closed multiplayer beta. PM me and volunteer if you'd like to spend your time in this fashion. I'd do it myself, but my computer and internet suck.

The Usual: Mediafire

Final notes: The drop point for the logs is the console in the holo-room. This is off the (fairly obvious) armory through some vents. The console is the only one in the room. I haven't put in-game clues for that yet.

It's map should work in coop and deathmatch. They both have unique features designed for them, but I cannot test them, so you'll have to see and tell me where I messed up.

Again, this is more of a side-project then an actual, real thing, so it's not finished in any way yet, just pretty much fully playable."
