Raymoohawk's sprite edits

[fraggle]

Yep, it looks great. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

[raymoohawk]

okay than, the imps sheet will be delayed as i work out how to incorporate some of the details, ill switch to prioritizing the shotgunguy for now

[Blastfrog]

I like the ribbed/slitted armor look, it looks more alien.

I probably should've clarified that my issue with the anatomy was more along the lines of it being too juvenile or sexualized. You know, like those medieval fantasy things where the women are dressed in minimalist bikinis that are supposed to be "armor" just because it's made of metal and used in battle situations. So, not offensive as much as it is just immature and obnoxious. Yeah, Doom is Doom and isn't really top-class, but I feel that there should be at least some standard level of tastefulness.

[Danfun64]

You want tastefulness? Tone down the hellish imagery and gore :P

If you take my suggestion seriously I have a (moving) starting point for you to work with lol.

This is a fighting and shooting game. Some gore will happen. I do agree about the hellishness. The blatant satanic stuff and occult symbols are not really necessary. They do not even fit any of the proposed storylines. Id's monsters are from hell so that stuff actually fits in those iwads.

[raymoohawk]

a question. does the meele atack of the imp use the same frames as the flame attack?

Yes.

I said an extent of tastefulness. Perhaps it's my surroundings of American culture seeping into me as much as I hate (at least elements of) said culture, but somehow I think that it's more tasteful to have loads of gore for the sake of gore than tits for the sake of tits.

[raymoohawk]

throwing some wild concepts around :-)

[Death Egg]

With that design, I think it'd be cool to see the appendages covering its body to open up and its chest cavity being where its fireballs are shot from.

[raymoohawk]

i was thinking of the same thing, but im not sure how to make the melee attack work in that case, seeing it would have to use the same frames

You are really going to hate the internet when you discover that 99% of it is comprised of porn.

I always found it weird how Americans consider it acceptable to end life, but the creation of life is viewed by them as somehow being sinful. I'm cool with that kind of thinking, though. That just means there are more girls available for me.

raymoohawk: you're getting into the Ripley alien kind of territory... I don't want to have nightmares after playing Freedoom. ;) I like it.

Maybe have an alien mouth come out of the chest and simultaneously spew fireballs and bite the hero?

[raymoohawk]

not all americans find ending life acceptable, you cant judge a countries people for the bad desicions of some of its goverment, soda made it clear that this was not about prudishness, and iirc has critisized war mongers like bush in other treads. i honestly think the new imp design is better. anyway the alienesque thing was unintentional, but im glad youre liking it. ill find a way to work the melee attack in

[Ralphis]

You could put teeth up and down the right/left sides of the chest cavity if you wanted to make it dual purpose. The entire concept of getting bit and eaten is actually scarier than getting clawed anyway in my opinion

[raymoohawk]

a preview of the shotguns guy first rotation! i still have to put in more blood.


these changes where done to deferiantiate it from the doom chotgunnguy i hope you wont mind

[Death Egg]

The A2A8 seems to have lighter boots than the other frames but otherwise I love it!

[fraggle]

Looking great!

Not at all, it's a good thing that you're doing this.

You are singlehandedly reinvigorating the Freedoom movement.

Keep up the awesome work!

[raymoohawk]

thanks! but i really dont think this is singlehandedly, freedoom is a coolective effort :-)
i was thinking of documenting the making of the sprites, would anyone be interested in that? maybe it could be used to promote freedoom or something

Sprite quality has always been a big issue and major complaint. This is seriously awesome work you are doing.

Sprite documentary would be awesome, not just for Freedoom but for all people interested in modding sprite based games.

[raymoohawk]

wow no, i didnt meant a documentary, just record how i make the sprites, a sort of making of

[Catoptromancy]

That is a documentary.

[Hambourgeois]

Documentary implies something pretty formal, I think he means something more like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-71FOXADTxg

Not anything that gets into the real meat and bones of the process w/ commentary or whatever, cause to make good sprites you have to have a pretty solid art background.

I have to agree with that. Speaking entirely for myself, my art abilities are limited to drawing stick figures. That's mostly why I like to cheerlead for folks that are able to contribute in a much more meaningful way to projects that I love.

Yup. Keep up the good work everyone. :)

Heh, no, I'm well aware of that fact and am not even remotely upset over its volume and prevalence. Also, I think it'd work more in other games, but a relatively straightforward and simple game about shooting demons in space doesn't seem like the right place in my opinion.

I think there were female zombies/monsters in Dead Space...

[raymoohawk]

but deadspace is narrative driven, this game is not. i think its time to let this discussion go
instead have more shotgunguy!

[Pencil of Doom]

The shotgunner looks excellent!
And it is my favorite zombie in FD!

[soner du]

Excellent work !

I globally love FreeDoom, but hated the zombie sprite...
The new one is very good !

I also like that sexy trooper (imp)...

I agree. Can we move on please? It seems like we've reached a consensus on the imp sprites now.

That sounds like a great idea! Maybe something like a timelapse recording of your desktop while you do the edits?

Kind of like this:

[raymoohawk]

yeah thats the thing i was thinking of, althoug im nowhere near as talented as the guy in that video.

a couple of questions, why is stallman the boss brain? can i edit him? id like to add some techie stuff to him so its not just the head in a stick, but that it actually looks like his controlling the icon of sin
