 sry but its not yet added.

just started with it. i updated my space cats with the newer/updated beasts stuff (monsters,sprites,textures,actors) and added a new skill level "beast" (ultra violence + fast monsters; monsters have/do 25% less hp/damage). now i will make a 5 Maps episode based on this skill level (/fast monsters). Space Cats is a pretty fun package to work with. Just wanna do a few more maps with the stuff i made until now. The beasts are upgraded and i added the (updated) Bastyber Boss Fight and will add the Hellrose Queen Boss next (the Flower Boss from the Tangraan Campaign). Still need to update her and her arena.

Then Space Cats should be complete. Thats stuff that is floating in the code without use. Just wanna give it a bit more love.

But will take some time.

Awesome! I've been eyeing space cats for some time so will definitely give the entire package a whirl once you drop the final campaign!

well, then you should already try it out. its already complete. the upcoming stuff is just some extra stuff because i want to. there are already almost 40 maps and 4 classes. go play it :3

[DerTimmy]

There will be another Upgrade- Space Cats Saga 2.0+

-fixed all melee attacks; they feel much better to use now
-alot new effects
-changes/fixes to almost every gun
-1 new secret Map
-2 new Boss Arenas
-new cats to pat
-new textures

-new difficulty "Fast"
UV + fast Monsters

-new difficulty "Beast"
UV + replaces Doom Demons with a Beast Variant (i made complete new Beasts for this; every demon got a replacement except Cybie and Mommy cause of the hitboxes)

this will be another big update to Space Cats but it will take some time :3 already made tons of fixes since december and added alot of new stuff.

will be showing more in the future

Wow! It was unexpected! Announcement of a New Update! DerTimmy continues to surprise me! I'll be waiting!

 

By the way, it's right that I decided to add New Difficulty Levels! If there are a lot of Monsters on your Levels, then when playing other WADS, the "Hard" difficulty will not be enough. Because Local UV+ is a Great Solution!

 

By the way, I just read the last comment about "Beasts". So, should we expect Doomguy with a New Arsenal and Campaign?

[DerTimmy]

nah wont add doomguy. would be way too much work.

but added tons of new enemies and overhauled berserk. melee feels "correct" now

 

"fast" is fun but some space cats maps are almost unbeatable. "beast" replaces every doom demon with a beast. made new beasts for this with new attacks. no hitscan attacks.

It's strange, I thought you wrote that "Beasts!" will be a part of "Space Cats Saga".

 

"this project will be canceled and i will put all the updated content into space cats saga together with a new, short campaign :3"

 

I'm just going to go through that 5-Level WAD and I thought: "Will there be Beasts! part of this Mod/TC?" If you say that there will be no Doomguy, then I can safely immediately "Beasts!" pass.

[DerTimmy]

well i put alot of the updated content into space cats. beasts was a good base to balance my monsters and update some stuff.

"Space Slayer" was an idea but it would take way too much time to make a new class (with campaign). I canceled the new campaign so i can work on code and sprites.

Making SCS fun to play is more importent now.

Sorry, I misread.

[DerTimmy]

The new update will be released in April. It looks and plays alot better. All the classes have been remade. Just need to finish working on Sill and some of the Monsters for replacement.

Every Class has its own Super Ability now. Most of the Weapons have been remade and i will make changes to alot of Maps. Will take some more time.

Menus, Artworks and HUD will be the last thing i will work on. This is a big Upgrade to the already released Version with alot more content.

 

Aemi Showcase

 

Yaeska Showcase

 

 

Lux Showcase

 

 

[Broadsword Jim]

I've been waiting for this for a long time.. I'm looking forward to it.

[Wanderer]

It was already amazing before and now it looks even more promising. I have a suggestion if possible, do you think it would be wise to make the heated weapons instead of getting reset with the primary fire to use the reload button instead ? Is in order to use the special attacks of the heated weapons without accidentally reset them. Also the crosshair of the heated bar appears in the automap too.

i will look into that.

 

im using drawbar for that heat bar. is there a way to not show it on the automap? i know for hudmsg there is a flag that they wont show up, but is there something for drawbar?

 

 

here is the latest showcase of Sill (most of the shown stuff already got some upgrades/changes -all classes)

 

 

[Wanderer]

the most simple and easy solution is to basically disable the HUD when using automap, to do that , just open the SBARINFO and add at the very end this line:

 

statusbar automap {}

 

this will disable in general the HUD(statusbar and crosshair) when using automap

[DerTimmy]

anyone interested in giving it a little playtest? message me to get the link :3

[DerTimmy]

Release will be April 25th! Everything has been overhauled. Its a blast to play and my Beasts are a good challenge now. Redone both Super Bosses (pretty challenging) and alot of Maps

[Wanderer]

3 days left, can't wait already

[DerTimmy]

but you can. corruption cards, double jump or any other addons should work this. gunsbonsai is fun too

[Askirian]

Just registered to say thanks for this great mod. It's very fun to play and deserve more attention. 

[SportsterV90]

I'm stuck om map 67:

 

 

Destroying this pillar leads to next room, where nothing to happens (enemy is not appeared). My GZDoom has ver. 4.12.1 (latest official release)

GZ

[DerTimmy]

worked for me on GZDoom 4.11 on hard.

maybe its the difficulty. have to look into it

[SportsterV90]

Oh, sorry, i'm on hard too.

[DerTimmy]

happened to me on the flower boss in map 62 too but than not again. maybe its something with my acs scripts. i will gather all the problems before dishing out 40 patches. im working alone on this and it eats up alot of time.

 

here have this as apology

you can type

give superenergy 250

in console to fill up your super everytime :3

VERY impressive work and changes and very interesting the way you handled  the Supers for each character too and the weapons changes, just magnificent really.

The only thing that makes me think, is generally the melee attacks of all characters in berserk mode......is just too OP I believe, with just Yaeska Tactical Knives, 2 shots of the alt-fire instantly kills a Cyberdemon, literally is stronger and better rather using a BFG weapon. Makes me think if the berserk is better to be timed rather lasting a whole level. I guess is intentional because of the maps your created and the numbers of enemies. Is not an exaggeration to say that I am relying more on the berserk melee to kill enemies faster rather the weapons.

 

Another thing I noticed is that I decided to play a custom map and at the end of map06 it shows the text for the characters story for some reason, also some vanilla switches are not reacting with a sound or changing color(like skeleton switches that turn red)

I think posting this mod on Moddb.com and Itch.io would help give it more visiblity - it certainly deserves it with all the hard work put into this!
