Gothic Doom is Underrated

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

In case some of you guys didn't know, there is a weapon/enemy sprite and sound replacement called Gothic Doom.

It's a very simple mod with no gameplay changes, but it fits very well with most gothic themed wads. I've been using it with DBP05 (Coffin Curse), and it's great. It does a lot to enhance the atmosphere.

Seems pretty cool, I might try it sometime.

being kust a skin raesthetic eplacement and not altering the gameplay at all, its juggles me why restrict it to just a .pk3 when it may be compatible with anything :/.
Aside from that, its looks awesome, and those mosnters and weapon replacement surely may feed another DBP soon hahahah

 

EDIT: i just read the comment on the thread where it said that there is a vanilla comp on WIP

I definitely think they should focus on comparability first before making it into a gameplay-altering mod, which they are also doing. I think it probably works best as just an aesthetic mod. It fits Hellbound great, too.

Oh, i will wait for the vanilla/boom compatible version to replay it with this ;)

I'm gonna try it on one of my Zandronum co-op servers.

 

Are there any other aesthetics replacements mods that don't effect gameplay out there?

I know there are lots out there, but the only 3 I can remember off the top of my head are the 3 I had a small hand in:

 

 

EDIT: Of course, there's also stuff like Simpsons Doom!

This is kind of rad. I've always wanted to see weapons skins with a pseudo-19th Century aesthetic with a dash of the ol' mysticism, and this kind of hits the nail on the head for me. I can't wait until a more compatible version is available, though I might get impatient and just put the graphics in Slade and try it for myself, since it doesn't seem to have any gameplay changes, but vanilla doesn't really like swapping out sprites, yeah? You either need to include all the sprites in the PWAD or use DeHackEd to point everything to new sprite names, yeah?

@Doomkid Thanks I'll check 'em out. Not gonna lie kinda excited to use the Xmas sprites this holiday season.

Yes, the Gothic Doom monster replacement pack is excellent for playing wads with a hell setting. And I don't think it's underrated, it just isn't very well known.

If it's paired with Gothic DM I can't see how it's underrated! But certainly, not as used...

Yea now that I've played a good number of maps from Community Chest 4 with this mod, it's good stuff
