Freedoom's 2024 update

[watermelon eater gaming]

What do you all think of the Freedoom 0.13.0 update? I like that they added soda cans to Doom and made the Heavy Weapon Dude look normal :D

Now we need new Mastermind replacement (maybe make it a big version of Combat Slug?), and also we need Freedoomguy to quit drinking. Otherwise i enjoy Freedoom very much.

I'm still playing the new Freedoom 1. So far I like the changes, specially the music, it feels more tense(in a lack of a proper word to describe it) to me in some points. I kinda miss the old sprite for the shotgun, but this new version is very cool, too!

I preferred the previous versions, the newer weapon sprites look a little too cartoony.

i think the new additions are a big step in the right direction for making the game feel more cohesive and less like "knockoff doom", the only enemies that i think need replacements now are the combat slug, technospider, and large technospider, as those enemies always felt like parodies of their doom ii equivalents more than something that fits in with the tentacle monsters that comprise most of the enemy roster

eh, it's more "original" which i personally think is the best way to go

edit: completely misunderstood what you said somehow, yeah i mostly agree

I agree with the Mastermind replacement, the Large Technospider has the same problem as the original Spiderdemon Mastermind in that its sprites don't match with its dimensions making it look smaller than it actually is.

I didn't realize it finally got an update. Great to see it's still going! What's left for an official 1.0 release?
