Charas-Project

While playing around with some of my GZDoom projects (modern day port of the old Doom engine) I had a sudden stroke of stupidity! Why not take advantage of the engine and make a Charas game in Doom? Unlike modding regular Doom, I can have fully colored PNG graphics, digital music and sound effects, custom enemies and all else. Even action scripts. Added to that custom playable character support, custom weapons, and so on!
We've tried several other games using Charas people, so, why not go FPS? XD I know, insane, weird, crazy, idea but I can do it, and it wouldn't be that hard to do since I have experience now.
Anyways. I'll start once I get sufficient resources and ideas. And to prove I can do this you can check my Doom works here:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=93F3F9178FEC5BF0 (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=93F3F9178FEC5BF0)
Anyways, if you may, give some info and graphics, I can use charset graphics mind you, they may be small but I can work with them! Individual info I'm looking for mainly is names, abilities/weapons and etc. I can also add immunities/vulnerabilities/resistances thanks to ZDoom enhanced features. XD
Also give enemy/item/boss ideas. As long as it's within reason. GZDoom can handle a lot though.
But anyways, this will be my first community contribution and I promise not to quit it. :p
P.S. I'll work on a plot later. XD;;
Edit: For those who don't know what GZDoom is, look here: http://grafzahl.drdteam.org/index.php (http://grafzahl.drdteam.org/index.php) also you will need a version of doom2.wad to play this as demos come out, just as a base IWAD (main data file for GZDoom to read and use).
======UPDATE======
Working Monsters
Sai'Bot
Red Fox
Purple Mage
Working Players
Warxe_Phoenixblade
Character Submissions should at least face forward, they can be charsets. I can make some frames and anims.
Doom normally only uses front, front left, left, left back, then back angles. I can use front facing only and I can use four directional too (front, left, back).
Normal Animations are: Pain, Death, Attack, Walk, Stand. I can also work with extras if you want an alternate attack or some behavior (though limited).
Also! I'd like some to work out a map in RM and send me full overhead views of them, with grids preferably so I can start making maps. If also possible, suggest music.

DEMO RELEASE
In this RAR package are download links for each required file EXCEPT Doom2.wad which I cannot privade as part of the package for obvious reasons.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/ZDLStuff.jpg)
Important things marked in red arrows. Lights.pk3 comes with GZDoom. And the CharasDoom.zip is in CHarasDoom.RAR. The connected arrows tells where you add these items. Clicking the ZDL button and Options allows you to select the IWAD (Doom2.wad) and the Source Port (GZDoom). Enjoy!
OH! Good news! You can get a well working alternative to doom2.wad here: Freedoom (http://savannah.inetbridge.net/freedoom/freedoom-iwad/), just download "freedoom-iwad-0.6.3.zip", unzip, and use Doom2.wad inside. It's perfectly legal!
Also, don't forget to type in CHRS00 under Warp in ZDL.
-
Sounds like a plan
*throws ball on ground then disappears in a puff of smoke*
-
The other advantage is that it can involve up to 8 players as multiplayer. Meaning it'd be the first multiplayer Charas game-relative project. XD
-
Sweet.
Do you take a single sprite? Or do they need frames and side views too?
-
Well, preferably I'd like ones with at least 4 directional facings and some frames, I CAN do minor frames if needed too.
Some monsters won't be 4 directional though of course.
-
Is there one direction enemy? If so I can take it's place >.>
-
There will be some one-directional enemies. You want to be an enemy?
Example of a one-directional enemy I've made for another project for GZDoom, the Rick Wraith!: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/RickWraith2.png) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/RickWraith3.png)
-
Yes. Hang on I get the sprite.
Edit:
(http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/DeepShitL/th_Applemanasavatar.png)
There you go.
-
That'll work, so what kind of attack? Shooting apples or something? XD
-
Oh Oh Oh I wanna shoot green goo.
-
Green goo? Like the Flemoids from Chex Quest that shoot balls of snot?
-
Yeah that works >.<
-
Alright, this will definitely work. Thanks. XD
-
It was my pleasure. Can't wait to kill myself.
-
XD You will definetly get the chance, hope you don't mind if I work in some animations so you can tell attacking from moving and hurt/dying. Aside from some sounds (might make some custom sounds, won't really use many of the default Doom sounds if possible)
-
Yeah go for it.
-
Woo! DF, where have you been all my life? This sounds like a fantastic idea, when I get the chance I'll try to whip up some graphics for you.
-
Awesome! Alright, I've got Red Fox's appleman nearly completed graphics-wise. I'll put a demo video up when I'm finished.
-
This sounds awesome. If I get time I'd definately like to make you some moosetroop sprites.
-
Sweet. This reminds me that I have yet to do a thread for my project.
-
Applesauce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqLAyvmSuJE&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
:P
And good! The more the better! XD Don't forget that GZDoom supports custom players so you can play as yourself or others in any gametype. I also intend to do custom maps with RM chipset textures probably.
-
That rocks man.
-
I love the facial expression when he dies.
-
Jaw drops, eyes wide open, tears in anime chibi style, then explodes. Appleman Sauce.
-
I want to help in some way! I think... How would I?

That might be the best thing on youtube ^^ Love it. As for death sound I think I got something that works if you can use it that is.
http://rapidshare.com/files/210479434/bunny_die01.rar.html
-
Deathreaper: Anything really at this point, representative sprites for you and a face that I can animate. XD
Red Fox: I certainly can use it, thanks!
Edit: And now it's your death sound, any other sounds you'd like to use? Like spotting player, pain, searching?
-
Christ this is awesome.
With custom maps this would be the best thing ever produced by mankind.
-
Edit: And now it's your death sound, any other sounds you'd like to use? Like spotting player, pain, searching?
I shall search for some.
Edit: Here you go.
http://rapidshare.com/files/210485258/Fox_Sounds.rar.html
They are kinda random >.> But it fits good with me.
-
Christ this is awesome.

Thanks! I hope to get some map ideas soon but I want to get some monsters and characters down first.
-
Man, that was awesome.
And btw, this is a good time ot realize that I've never done any front-pose sprites. Except charsets of course.
What exactly do you need? I could probably do some hideous creatures to kill or whatever.
-
Well, I'm looking for Charas-Project related stuff. Some random monsters is ok, but I'm mainly after Charas related stuff. As requested in the first post, people can submit characters and tell their abilities, vulnerabilities, etc.
-
UPDATE
Applesauce Again! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQcPMPAIS7c&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
The projectile firing and some other minor things were worked out, he no longer shoots out of his neck/chest. XD
-
That was awesome

Hahaha the walkie talkie sound when they spot the player fits so good XD
-
I'll try something here...
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/Bluhman/BluhmanStandardAvatar.gif)
It's me! Though, maybe a bit on the smaller side of things. Bluhman can be like a weird sniper dude who is stationary, and really weak up close, but tends to shoot at you from unexpected places.
I'll whip up a sound set in a moment.
ED: Sound set up. It's a bit quiet and not entirely what I want.. But people are over here right now, so I couldn't really speak all that loud. Anyway:
http://www.box.net/shared/cls144c4os
-
That can work, single frame eh? And monster/enemy?
-
That's the only frame I've got right now, but I think I can come up with a few more. Might take a while, though.
How would something like this sound?:
-Four facing directions
-Posing, ready to shoot you
-A pair of death poses for animation (crouch, then fall over and die)
-
If you can do that, then that would be awesome!
Edit: Also, I can grow/shrink sprites in GZDoom using a "Scale" setting for each object.
FFL also gave me an idea, random enemies could be bots.
-
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2jbmtj9.png)
I just finished this.
I hope it got what's needed and all. Might do directions later. Can't promise anything though.
No idea where to host my death cry though.
If possible: make the projectiles fly from the hands he's raising.
As for projectile graphics. A lightning ball or something would work. Or fire.
-
RIP Bluhman: Ran over by steamroller.
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/Bluhman/BluhDOOMED.png)
-
Aw... I wish I could be good at spriting and such...
I think I'll try something. It'll probably be just an edit of something, though... but I'll try! Soon...

Chigiri
Titles: The Exiled
Job/Class: Ex-Knight
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: Quiet, indifferent, spaced-out, oblivious.
Race: Human
Weapon: Standard issue, high-ranking knight's sword
HP: below average
Attack: above average
Defense: average
Speed: above average
Bio: [spoiler]Chigiri, to the naked eye (and even to himself), appears entirely sane. However, this is not the case. For short periods of time, he will lose conscious control of his being, and whatever actions he takes within these periods of time, he will have no recollection of afterwards. They become gaps in his memory, from which he can only remember certain images.
Despite his issues, Chigiri went through many years of rigorous training to become a high-ranking knight. He served his king, and his empire for years to come. Although he was successful as a protector of the royal family, he would soon lose his position, due to his own actions.
During one of his black-out periods, he murdered his only younger sister in a fit of rage. When he awoke, one could only imagine the pure horror he felt when he saw the dead body, and the blood on his sword. Of course, he refused to believe that he had committed the crime... But that wasn't going to convince the executioner. In desperation, fear, and confusion, he fled from his kingdom.[/spoiler]

Well, see if you can do anything with any of that. I'm too lazy to do anything new.
And here's an enemy.
(http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q214/darthjastarband/sai_enemy_final2.png)
By the way, this whole idea is incomprehensibly awesome.
-
(http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q214/darthjastarband/sai_enemy_final2.png)
Yes. This must fly around and relentlessly chase you like a manhack.
-
Indeed it must
-
Excellent, and OMG Prpl! That will work great!
As for hosting sounds you can use http://www.sendspace.com/ (http://www.sendspace.com/) by putting the sounds in a RAR or ZIP.
XD! Manhacks, man did I love to throw them in the generator with the gravity gun.
By the way, this whole idea is incomprehensibly awesome.
Thanks! It was an "AHA" moment while messing with Doom. XD

Attacking "I AM GNAWING ON YOUR FACE, OM NOM NOM!"
Hurt "OUCH"
Death "HEALTH REACHED ZERO, DEATH MODE ENGAGED! OH NOES!" *boom*
Searching "U WHEEL BEE BANNED, EL OH EL!" (This is how I typed it in the talker program XD)

**** yeah.
-
I cooked something up here.
You don't even need to us all/any of them.
SFX that is.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/xx0eg2
-
XD I extended the death animation for your submission if that is OK Prpl. I went through the entire alphabet (frames are marked by a letter in the alphabet). Right now I'm looking through my animations from PSX games for the spell attack.
-
If you post some of the wall textures, I can edit them into charasy things
I kind of want to do the spring loaded Bobblehead Sai monster from the megaman banner
-
SaiBot version 2.0? XD
-
XD I extended the death animation for your submission if that is OK Prpl.
No problem at all. Could you post the extended version btw(if it is frame by frame or something). Might as well have the updated version myself
-
I will once I'm finished. It's nothing fancy mind you.
Funny thing also to note, I found some purple electric ball animation from Shin Megami Tensei (PSX version) that I previously ripped that I found especially fitting. I'll also do a few experimental effects with this. You'll see once I've made a video.
-
I must admit, this is really freaking cool
Good job, DF
-
YOU WHEEL BE BANNED. XD

Bluhman lives! Briefly! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX0DdyT7FUk&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
Sorry for the blurryness, WMM crapped out so I've had to find a different means to compress video. >_<
This one will be updated over time as with the SaiBot who needs to be faster. Additions planned is a dynamic light flash, flare effect on the gun, and a hurt frame.
-
Oh wow.. Bluhman is so silly ingame, since he doesn't move. XD
-
Well I decided since as a sniper as you said, he'd sit up on high places silently waiting then shooting down at the player or other target. Do you want him to move? XD
-
Nah, it's OK. He just looks silly standing there stationary on flat ground in clear shot of the player.
-
In the custom maps he'll most likely be up on high spots looking down. I'll probably make it so he reacts by sight too. XD
-
That Saibot seriously weirds me out.
-
That Saibot seriously weirds me out.
Me too, me too... just imagine places full of them. *plotting* >_>
-
This video contains purple, AND awesome! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekw7lsn9254&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
The afterimage and particles are custom effects, not native to GZDoom. Both were experimental for me and I'd say they passed the test, which surprises me getting it on the first go.
-
The effect when he moves was sweet.
-
I'm in. :3 A marriage of the conditions that I'm too lazy to sprite a full-size character and have a Might and Magic sprite editor gave birth to my Kreegan understudy XD
He's fast, cowardly, shoots fireballs, and works in huge numbers. Also come in winged variants for later levels and a bee-esque hivemind queen for a boss, but I'll get to those later.
-
This is a brilliant idea! Although the machine gun noises really hurt my ears. You're probably better using some Valve game sound effects. Can this
Doom mod work on Vista? If so, I have some ace idea for guns you could use :D
-
I have Half-Life 2 at hand and other sound effect sources but not sure about ripping from a big game title. Though the default Doom weapons may be replaced eventually.
And yes, and very good on Vista I might add! I'm running it on Vista and it seems to be running quite smoothly.
The effect when he moves was sweet.
Yes, and serves a dual-purpose of confusing you as well, I had one move by me and it seemed like he disappeared but he had moved behind me.
-
That was amazing.
I'd love to fight the purple mages.
But I bet they would go on my nerves, moving around so fast and all.
Great job. Let me know if you need anything else.
-
That is another thing that makes them so awesome. You got to dodge their attacks and manage to strike them. They stand still and are vulnerable when attacking. I think I'll make them a preferably ranged attacker without a melee strike. This would balance them out some.
And thanks! Submissions are welcome. If anybody could make a few maps in RM and give me some images of it and provide the chipset(s) I could use it as a blueprint and use the chipset as textures by expanding them. Also, make it gridded.
-
Bluhman updated! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTOjQ3LfJC8&fmt=18)
4 new frames and a dynamic flash added.
-
This is awesome
-
Bluhman's quotes are so random. XD
"Can I get a clear shot here? I mean, really."
and
"I appear to be losing consciousness... oh whatever"
-
Bluhman's quotes are so random. XD
"Can I get a clear shot here? I mean, really."
and
"I appear to be losing consciousness... oh whatever"
Yeah. XD I tried to line that part up where he says "Oh Whatever" when he falls down.
-
omg that is pretty much some of the best **** ive ever seen!! i bloody love old school doom engine and that **** is awesome!
I will definately try to make a few chars. What kinda proportions we talkin and what format works best for u?
We usin Wavs for the sounds?
/excited
-
Oh sorry. XD Well, I use various proportions though small chars might come out a bit pixelated but workable and yes, WAVs definitely.
Also, I'll just note this for future reference to others that just side-views are a bit awkward on Doom, I tried it and it came out funny. XD
-
These look fantastic! Bluhman's particularly, because of the voices and the shooting graphic. Brilliant.

He's Mister White Christmas, he's Mister Warxe! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tp4H870y54&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
After a day's work the first beta of the Warxe_Phoenixblade, the first playable character is done! I decided to start with somebody I'm familiar with other than Alex and etc. Warxe has turned out awesome so far, quite befitting of the guy I'd say! XD
He's SSJ because he's on god mode, his face will be halved in size also since it's too big, and read the video description. BEHOLD THE ICY AWESOME OF THE WARXE! BEHOLD IT!
-
Can Monsters have Abilties? like a heal for example? or is it just some kind of attack?
Also can you make units that spawn units like the fire head guy and the cacowhatevers
and what do you mean about side poses? does that mean you only want a front and back pose of my character?
-
Nono, just sideviews ALONE look bad in a 3D environment XD all 4 directions would work pretty good (Doom uses 8 but I can make 4 work most definitely, front view works for enemies pretty well, players may be a bit awkward but it'll still work there too XD). Also, I've done both of those things before. If you look at my Fester's Doom enemies thingy there's an enemy that replicates and an enemy that heals itself.
-
Oh Warxe is sweet. Freezing skills is sexy.
-
Wow this sounds like a fun idea Red Fox might participate somehow

Oh yeah sorry *embarassed* i have the flu and im not workign at 100% mental state
apologies to darkfox
-
I'm updating Warxe a bit with a "blast radius" on his freeze attack as well as some dynamic lights. Also I've made the ice needles more awesome (three one after the other!). Fun thing to note, the blue particles seem to melt like ice, an unintended but awesome effect.
No problems boozer, um, what did you mean by "participate"? Do you mean me participate? Or...?
-
Warxe Updated (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoeXRlerTFE&feature=channel_page&fmt=18)
This is not going to be the ONLY playable character. I consider many will be playable characters as well as monsters (having same skills as players as they have as monsters)
On the list of likely playables is Alex, Sai'Kar, Mid, me, and others.
======UPDATE======
Working Monsters
Sai'Bot
Red Fox
Purple Mage
Working Players
Warxe_Phoenixblade
Character Submissions should at least face forward, they can be charsets. I can make some frames and anims.
Doom normally only uses front, front left, left, left back, then back angles. I can use front facing only and I can use four directional too (front, left, back).

-
'Working' means stuff you're working on currently, right? Not, like, the enemy is working and if something is not on the list, then they're dysfunctional, yes?
-
"Working" means the character is scripted and functional. Not meaning it can't be updated.
-
This is currently my favourite thread on Charas. I love it so much.
-
FFL2and3rocks is feeling a bit ill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49X3kJ6bqnY&fmt=18)
Alright! Add another one to the list! FFL2and3rocks is now a working boss!
-
GWAAAAAH
-
I wish to be in this project, but I lack frontal sprites. Or ideas.
-
It's quite the same for me. I should try working on something... but I'm not very good at this... but I think I'll give it a try some time.
-
Unless... I have a slight idea. DF, can you make it so an enemy disappears and reappears nearby instead of actually moving there?
-
Like phasing in and out? Yeah, I can do that.
-
Hmmm.... I might be able to come up with something, then. Emphasys on might
-
Alright. XD

I liked how Cyberdemon dies in the end ^^
That was pure pwnage distillation
BTW, this looks better every video
-
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/GrandyGuy/grndyfront1.png)
Hastly put togheter, just to see if you can use them.
I know they are small as hell, but I remember Dmitri's sprite being no much bigger when I played Castlevania.
-
I can use them but what would the death be? Disappearing?
-
Those are just for confirmation. I'll make more frams, such as Back, Right, Left, Damage and Death.
If possible I'll also record some voices for him.
-
Ah good! You only need to make a left side frame instead of a left and right by the way unless one side is different from the other. Well if you do, the sounds then I'll list the sounds as per monster:
Pain
Seen/Heard player
Death
Active(wandering around)
Attacking
For Player it is
Pain
Death
Landing
Bumping into wall
and that's the basics.

Alex Plays a Mean Harp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-tZTAG4MwA&fmt=18)
XD Beta of the harp weapon for the Alex player. Hostile Harp!
-
The many faces of Alex.
(http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6190/alexl.png)
-
Amazing.
-
Alex is awesome. I will never view a harp the same way again.
If you want to make it even more awesome, you should make it play the solo from Through The Fire And Flames. XD
Also, I'm a bit late, but... Take that, FFL! No one can resist the icy touch of WarxePB!

Maybe I can. XD Though it'd be kinda hard to fit into a looping attack. XD
-
Poor Italian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXJpy7l6jJk&fmt=18)
This is a beta of the playable Alex, I'm fixing up some frames as I go along. Pretty soon Alex and Warxe will have 3rd person sprites hopefully.
-
Ok, I require a few things to finish up the two playables.
And for Alex I'd like attacking in each direction, falling down facing forward too, and pain in each direction.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/AlexCharasGen.png)
Edit: I got Warxe done. So don't worry about that. XD;

You want to have some kind of "over the shoulder" view huh?
And is that Alex you're talking about supposed to be a new sprite or just the charaset? Because I recall Ed making a larger Alex sprite for the Avatar Wars some way back.

And is that Alex you're talking about supposed to be a new sprite or just the charaset? Because I recall Ed making a larger Alex sprite for the Avatar Wars some way back.
Sadly, as a player, he has to be seen from at least 3 angles (left and right can be mirrored by the doom engine so left facing would only be needed, then forward and backview)
I'm just editing the charaset and adding new poses. Sure it'll look pixelated but it'd be complete. I don't want to MAKE anyone put in hours of work on this stuff. The cool thing is that this project can be updated with ease as I progress on it. I actually plan to keep up on this rather than it being a short run thing.
Plus I also plan to host some multiplayer. ^_^
Edit: I may plan to accept frontal facing only playables, though it's kinda awkward obviously, but works. XD People rarely look in third person. But where they are shooting as a player may be confusing to some in an online game. But it still works.
Also: I just realized I need to put Razor on the list too XD Maybe he can be Ron

If you wish, I could try to change Hitler's head to be actually Raffle's. Like he used to appear in Warxe's sig.
-
I thought of that, to try overlapping the jar case over the head in each frame then crudely animate it (having the mouth move up and down like my old avatar edit).
Also, I have a few surprises in store. XD

Raff quotes:

Whee! Getting around to getting everybody's stuff in finally. XD

Hey do you have to have an edited doom set? Or can it be custom?
-
Hey do you have to have an edited doom set? Or can it be custom?
Everything I've done so far is custom. No edited doom enemies, no modified projectiles or effects, everything is custom so far. :)
The only thing NOT custom is the maps so far. I'm still waiting for some map submissions to put in as Charas Doom levels. Gridded preferably. So I can start on level design.
-
Looking good, love the raffles.

Thanks XD
He's going to be that useless annoying, almost unstoppable enemy that self resurrects. He does 0 damage but is a mild annoyance on some levels.
-
How do you want that map? And what do you mean with "gridded"?
And I just remembered where Id seen "Saibot" earlier. It's in Mortal Kombat. That character named after Tobias Boon. Backwards that is. Becomes "Noob Saibot"
-
Yeah. And by gridded I mean a map overview made and screen-shotted with grids (not really necessary, there's an option in the RMs to do this), this can include rooms and stuff. I can easily convert overviews to Doom maps because the builder is top view (and 3D view for slight adjustments).
There is slope options too which will make rooftops possible. And I can script doors that teleport you to inside house maps, or have doors open and close in an animated way or slide up and down as normal.
I need some map plans basically. To work as blueprints.
Edit: And yeah, you got the pun. XD

Sounds like a plan!
As for maps, I'm asking for stuff like this that PRPL sent:
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2ew1ht1.png)
Stuff I can use as blueprints for whole 3D maps. And connected rooms and stuff would be part of the map, NOT separate levels. So if there is a separate map that connects to the one map, send it too. Thanks. ^_^
-
Custom Maps? Really?
You have GOT to have a Charas Pub room, then.

Also, there should be a "The Big Emerald" reference.
-
Have it so in order to open certain doors, you have to spend one Big Emerald.
And have MT11 be the one to open it. He's a merchant, after all.

I can do that with ACS script pretty easily. :) Anybody willing to map out a blueprint of the Charas Pub? Not asking for anything really fancy, just something that works. I'll use these as a setup for the actual maps.
-
The problem with that is that the CP is ever-changing. The only thing that can be said for sure is that it has beer and a pool table (because Red is aways spinning on top of the pool table.)

Sadly an ever-changing map is unlikely. Unless it's a random pick of 2 or 3 similar maps which is possible. But I suggest a best guess.
-
I meant to say we don't have a base to work. you can make any pub and slap "Charas" in front of it.

Eh... how about a big weird disorganized publike thing? I dunno. XD I could even put furniture on the ceiling.
-
Furniture in the ceiling? That's gold.
I was thinking like, have one of each of Charas's "Monsters" characters inside, in front of tables, but with their A.I.s shut off, so you can walk up to them, and they won't do a thing, but if you hurt one of them, they all jump at you at the same time with their A.I.s activated.
And maybe some painting in the walls, only the paintings would be Razor's Unfunny comics and Mooses' What-Were-They-Called comics. Or avatars.
Also have a set of Charas: The Gathering cards in a table.
I remember the toilet door of the Pub acted as some sort of time-space bending device, so you could set it so everytime you open it, a random monster/healing item comes out (and have the "Monsters with AI shut off" attack them)

Grandy enemy test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62r1oyGl8v0&fmt=18)
Here's the Grandy enemy so far. Annoying indeed, fast indeed, hard to hit INDEED!
-
That ice magic is frigging cool! Did you draw/animate it? I'm so getting GZDoom :D
I think you should make a weapon which ricochets... like a ninja knife or something.
Is there any way I can contribute towards this ace-looking game!?
EDIT: In face, I wanna work on a comedy Doom game aswell! Where do I start? There's no tutorials
on Youtube and it says I need some strange file.
-
An IWAD or doom2.wad?
-
_JeT_ enemy test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3k67tm2LL0&fmt=18)
Yay, got another one done!
-
I like how this is coming along. I'd contribute, but it's hard to find appropriate sprites as a base. God knows I'm too lazy for custom sprites.
Also nice work on JeT, especially the voice work. That "... scum" is pretty awesome.
-
Thanks, he gave me the the stuff to say, I put my own twists on them. XD
-
Awesome job, Darkfox! XD That really made my day ^ ^

Looks great fox, keep it up.

This looks superb! Is there any way I can contribute? I'll make a joke character if you want.
I'll do the character art and voices if you give me a sprite sheet to work from :D

Your graphic can be bigger, the engine can be told to scale enemy/player graphics.
The game has just become thrice as sexy.
Yours is actually very tough despite lower HP and overall power, the stealth, confusion and speed makes for a remarkable adversary. There may be enough graphics for a player too. XD

Here's that chipset if you need it to make a map.
-
Thanks. It will definetly help me make this map. ^_^ I think I can animate the doors too.

Another update! I have started on the first map. It is early but here's a snapshot!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/Screenshots/Map1V1.png)
-
Looks a bit dark but I guess it will look much better with more stuff.
-
Holy Crap! This just keeps becoming 500 thousand MILLION Times better each time i see it. You Mind if i make my Dude as my chara? and would you like me to save the files as PNG when i send them to you to make it easier?

Using chipsets to represent the game maps? That's genius!

Thanks! When I get the basic layout done, I'll then make the doors animated, add decor, and more rooms.
-
2 Quetsions,
1: im pretty good at Level design. Would you want me to map out something for you? It would prolly be on a peice of grid paper drawn mostly by hand so its no direct Map you could use but it could give an idea for an area (complete with enemy and item placement).
2: Can my Monster have multiple attacks? i was thinking of 3 so far, a melee, a strong melee that could maybe bump you around (not sure if that works in doom engine) and a ranged attack.
Thanks, and ive started my sprites, hopefully ill have em finished soon.
-

2. Yes

Thanks, and cool! XD The map is proceeding alright too I've started in on the stairs. Next will be the two double doors once I animate them.
-
Awesome maps are awesome.
-
Alright, I'll think of something to contribute. This is too awesome to ignore any longer.
-
Needs some light and it wins all the internets.
Also needs my squirtle. xD
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/Screenshots/ChDmOldTemple.png)
Getting there.
-
You should definitely feature the noise alliance in your game. Maps are looking great.
-
Sweet
-
OMG
SOOOOO COOL.
-
Nice Darkfox, thats coming along awesome. Im working on some Map designs for you at the moment, ive started a Multi-player skirmish style map that should be balanced for a team versus team game. Im also working on Single player Style maps, with keys/doors/monsters+boss.
Im not really sure what style you want so im makin both.
-
Multiplayer and singleplayer actually since there will be both focused in development.
-
Here you go Fox, im sorry there is no Grid, but it isnt too complicated.
Also i kept the rooms and hallways empty for a couple reasons, mainly that i dont really know what kind of objects you got.
I would prolly just toss some Crates or Pillars to fill it in, but i can add that if you would like.
The Grey colored parts are raised a floor level. The "balcony" in the base has view over both of the hall ways to add for some Base Defence.
If you got questions, just ask.
Enjoy!
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/TheOfficeMap2.jpg)
Also it doesnt have to be Office textures or anything, i just call The Center Room where both teams connect "The Office" so i decided to name the map that.

Version 4 Screenshot
Working: Enemies PERIOD, there are generic RPG enemies like slimes and zombies using Might and Magic graphics. These you will encounter in three rooms. There are 5 types of enemies you will encounter other than the Charasian ones which will be a few off starting off, there will be a sub-boss and a boss in this level upon completion. I will add health items and refill items before demo release. It is nearly done for release and testing.

Ooh! A chance to try out the ramp feature of GZDoom! This is great for a multiplayer! Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch, it'd definetly work! XD Thanks! It looks good!
One thing though is that Doom has no layering. Meaning I can't easily have it go under upper level unless... hmmm... I COULD use a trick for this perhaps using a camera texture so it displays the other end kinda like how in Unreal. I think there are ways I can synthesize such an effect... hm...
-
Looking damn fine.
-
Those floors are godly, Darkfox.
-
I just noticed them floor reflections. Very very nice!
-
Yeah, I have a small simple script that tells Level name, as well as sets floor reflection.

Looks awesome, as usual

DEMO RELEASE
In this RAR package are download links for each required file EXCEPT Doom2.wad which I cannot privade as part of the package for obvious reasons.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/ZDLStuff.jpg)
Important things marked in red arrows. Lights.pk3 comes with GZDoom. And the CharasDoom.zip is in CHarasDoom.RAR. The connected arrows tells where you add these items. Clicking the ZDL button and Options allows you to select the IWAD (Doom2.wad) and the Source Port (GZDoom). Enjoy!
OH! Good news! You can get a well working alternative to doom2.wad here: Freedoom (http://savannah.inetbridge.net/freedoom/freedoom-iwad/), just download "freedoom-iwad-0.6.3.zip", unzip, and use Doom2.wad inside. It's perfectly legal!
Also, don't forget to type in CHRS00 under Warp in ZDL.
EDIT:
There are two secrets in this map. One is in the main area, in a dark spot and the second is just before the boss. Something will seem amiss.
-
Downloading.
-
Are there too many flashes?
-
Downloaded everything, dont know what the hell a wad is, and Im completely lost... Can you explain it a little better?
-
I downloaded everything, got the game to work, and ended up playing Doom as the Doom Guy. The enemies were the standard Doom enemies. I stood on the pressure plate and couldn't figure out what to do next because all the doors were closed.
I changed the difficulty to Very Easy and retried, and ended up playing Doom as Warxe. The enemies were the standard Doom enemies. The same thing happened.
I changed the difficulty back to Normal and retried, and ended up playing Doom as Alex. The enemies were the standard Doom enemies. The same thing happened.
I'm confused.
-
Did you type in CHRS00 in the Warp field of ZDL?
http://savannah.inetbridge.net/freedoom/freedoom-iwad/
For a free alternative to doom2.wad, download "freedoom-iwad-0.6.3.zip". I tested it, it works.
Step-byStep instructions:
1. UnRAR CharasDoom.RAR
2. Get a copy of Doom2.wad, either freedoom as I've pointed out
3. Open ZDL
4. Click the ZDL button
5. Go to options.
6. In options you should see this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/ZDLVisualAid.jpg)
Here you add in the Source Port as GZDoom, and the Iwad as the Freedoom doom2.wad.
SOURCE PORT
Name: GZDoom
Path to File: Wherever you put GZDoom
IWAD
Name: Freedoom 2 (or Doom 2 if you have the real deel)
Path To File: Wherever you unzipped the doom2.wad at.
7. Once that is finished add CharasDoom.zip (From CharasDoom.rar) and lights.pk3 from the GZDoom folder to the external files.
8. Type CHRS00 in the Warp field
9. Select difficulty.
10. Should be ready to play.
-
Great Job! But that boss dealt quite some pain.
Keep at this now.
-
complete WIN
-
I've done everything and it still seems to work intermittently. Sometimes I'm the Doom Guy, sometimes I'm Warxe or Alex. The monsters are always the standard Doom enemies. And I still can't figure out what the hell to do after hitting the pressure plate. Nothing seems to open anywhere.

Did you remember to add the warp thing?
-
Also I suggest putting in the command-line "+playerclass Warxe_Phoenixblade" or "+playerclass Alexander" because the darn thing defaults to doomguy.
Did you remember to add the warp thing?
This is VITALLY important. It MUST be CHRS00. Can't be anything else or it is NOT Charas Doom but just regular Doom.

I'M SO SORRY DARKFOX, HE USED MIND CONTROL ON ME OR SOMETHING!
Here, have this as a token of my apologies.
-
Are there too many flashes?
Only ONE room has a pulse light effect and thats the first secret room. There are no actual screen flashes. The lighting is usually modest and flowing. Anyways Screen flashes hurt my eyes so I don't often use them.

There is no need to fix the height, the height is fine for Doom actually. And I think the summoning Legitimates could work by running a script everytime they are summoned to check for however so long they are still alive.

Oh, he's epileptic? When we say flashing lights, we mean the rapid type or steady pulse?

Red and blue flashes if I remember it correctly.
-
Red and blue flashes if I remember it correctly.
Damn, there are no intense flashes. Just tints the color red if you take a hurting as per default to the game. Should I change the color tint to something else? Item pickups are small and almost unnoticeable tinting. I think Fish has played games before that did this. I need to contact him. It'd suck if this game hurt him some way O_o;;.
-
The only complaint I have with the demo is that once I get any weapon for Warxe, such as the shotgun, I can't return to his ice magic missile. Yeah, I tried to use the "Previous Weapon/Next Weapon" key.
-

There is no shotgun in the level. If you get a shotgun then your not playing the Charas Doom level.
-
Most likely. I did find it weird, but in some instances it reminded me of your gameplay demo levels, so I just kind of assumed.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/NotCharasDoom.jpg)
Just so you guys know, this is NOT the level. And if you see this level then something is wrong and I'll try to help you fix it. Be sure your loading the packages and have CHRS00 in the map that is, CHRS and two zeros.

WHY DO I MISS REFERENCES TO MYSELF WHEN I WAS A NOOB?
Remember when you liked Ed, Edd, and Eddy?
-
Obviously you've never read the Wiki page for Ed
-
Obviously you've never read the Wiki page for Ed
I don't need a Wiki for a lot of stuff. I was there. XD Though it helps when things get fuzzy. The rabbit thing was a reference to an old GIF X made. XD I'm glad some people still recognizes these things.
-
I was talking to Ded...according to the Wiki Ed's name doesn't come from Ed Edd & Eddy
Even though it is a direct quote, I believe
For when they go treasure hunting from a map that they find in Eddy's brothers room
Then Ed figures out what the map means
Yeah, I have no life
And love that show
*goes nostalgic*
EDIT: Also, sorry Dark, but I haven't tried it yet ;_;
I will tomorrow, when the sun is actually up and I have some spare time
-
Okay, managed to play you actual levels.
One thing: You should make some enemeis drop mana, otherwise Warxe may just get useless if you have bad aim.
Other thing: the bosses' homing magic killed me after he was dead, and because the game stoped to show some cutscene, preventing me to be able to run from them. (Okay, the demo was over already, but . . .) You could just make them disappear after a while, eh?
-
Okay, I'll try to set a time limit on the homing magic
-
Perhaps instead of a time limit, since he's supposed to be a boss and therefor though, set it so they disappear once he's dead.
-
Tried that with a "KillChildren" command. Apparently it only works with enemies spawned by another enemy.
Edit: I've made them shootable.
-
Still can't get it to work. Everything including the warp code thingy is as instructed, so I'm playing the Charas map as Warxe, but the enemies are still the standard Doom enemies and the pressure switch still does nothing.
My only guess is that Vista is causing it not to read CharasDoom.zip properly.

Oh well
*reads Ed's book*
-
GZdoom and ZDL or what ever are not in the Charasdoom.rar, I cannot find any executable to launch set program.
Edit: NM, i have issues reading readme files apparently.
-
Here's an overhead view of the WIP multiplayer map.
-
Looks Awesome fox!! BTW, im having issues getting the game to work. I can get The Normal Doom game to start up, but the second i put the Warp code in and try to launch, my computer instantly restarts... Ive got a couple things to try though, 1. Im running it off a USB key, so that cant be reliable and 2. Ill try a different computer, maybe this one just sucks.
But i know i got all the info correct, so im not sure whats the issue. I will try it on my home computer when i get home.
Also Dark Fox, i got a single player Map comin, it will be finish within the Hour and prolly posted here between 11:30-Midnight
-
And here we gooo!!
If you got any questions just ask.

Think you could screenshot your ZDL screen thing?
-
Hey just wondering, you said this was gonna be multiplayer right? If so will we be doing missions of like deathmatches?
-
ok i just tried it at home and it works Perfectly... not sure why my computer at work was randomly restarting when i tried to launch the game.
although lol i ran outta bullets very fast and managed to punch all the enemies to death until i hit those demon guys lol.
But damn dude!!! this shows me a ton of sweet things, like the lifting and lowering walls, switchs you need to stand on, cool monsters... this is bloody awesome!
Im trying to make a chara/monsters but im really not liking anything ive made so far. I think its the straightness of the 2D style thats messin with me.
-
Hey just wondering, you said this was gonna be multiplayer right? If so will we be doing missions of like deathmatches?
Like Co-Op and Deathmatch. I can also have alternative gameplay with winner/loser teams dependent on current gameplay. I've considered making a custom gametype for multiplayer based on The Great Emerald.
-
I would like just a plain deathmatch myself. Im not much for multiplayer scenerios.
-
Co-op, player versus many monster rules
-

Awww... I personally like running through the levels with a friend back-to-back.
Co-op, player versus many monster rules
Yeah, I like those too. Really epic to go back to back shooting monsters then split up to cover more ground.
-
Ive always been more of a deathmatch kinda guy, just wierd like that.
-
and thats why hes making both style maps
-
I'm varied, so maps will be varied.
-
If possible, a mode like assault in Unreal Tournament would be godly. Hard to pull of though.
-
Assault? Like... mission stuff? Two sides?
-
Assault? Like... mission stuff? Two sides?
Yes, basically it was the attacking team had an objective to do, and the defending team had to try and stop them. THen theyd swithc sides and in the end points would be tallied or something to determine the winner. Im sure you already know this though.
I ****ing LOVE ASSAULT
-
Yes I do. If you look at The Office map so far you will also tell where each thing comes from. These models and textures SHOULD look familiar.

Give up? Textures are from the first level of Unreal and the ship. XD
-
I recognised the plants.
-
I ripped the plants and stuff individually then converted them to MD2 (used by Quake 2)
-
ahhh damn dude, thats coming along very nicely!
-
is there a template for the UV wraps on the walls or soemthing?
Id like to make you some skins, with an rpgmaker/charas theme
a gift for your dilligence, if you will
-
No actual UV wrapping is involved. The floors and ceiling are 64x64 tiles. The walls are... well here's the textures.

I'll let you guys interpret this.
-
Sorry to double but I need to make an announcement:
I plan to update soon with a new demo WITH multiplayer support. Also there will be adjustments based on each of your inputs. Certain enemies will drop mana now, Evil JeT will not be so horrendous anymore. And I intend to put in more character graphics and fix some missing ones.
I also intend to add in a couple new playables:
Sai'Kar - Holy
Red Giant - Fire
That'll bring the playable characters to 4. But I intend more and I will say this: I have no gun guy! There is absolutely no traditional gun toting hero. I'm going to eventually need a traditionalist, anybody out there that has a character like that for the guy with the gun?
-
Sweet! Multiplayer is win.
-

Bluhman.
There is absolutely no traditional gun toting hero.
Bluhman.

Bluhman, Goddamnit!

Friggin awesome awesome dude, huge improvement between the two.
-
Bluh's already an enemy, though
-
Yeah. That's the point. Bluhman is an enemy. And a stationary enemy at that. XD
-
I'd happily whore Fruckert out (he is a hunter after all), but I don't have any resources for him.
Hmm...
-
A gun toting dwarf would be pretty awesome... funny too. XD
-
...weeeeelllll........
Has Murof ever been designed a weapon of choise? He looks like someone who would bring an AK to a party.
-

I always imagined him as a hammer kind of man
Also, is Sarah C. in it yet?
-
Sarah. C aways struck me like a rapier user.
-
Uhm... you know when I made these characters I didn't think you'd actually like them, so I didn't really work on their character beside the sprites.
They still need a class, a weapon, an alignment and to go further, a personality and such.
For Murof, I always though of a Warrior using two-handed weapons, mostly on the neutral-evil side.
For Sarah C. I always thought of something like a rogue or thief using small weapons, such as daggers, on the neutral-good side.
But the fact that she wears bright colours may look weird for such class. Uhm...
But now that you mention it, a rapier might be a good weapon for her. So she would be a Fencer.
Yeah, I like that.
-
Murof's personality seemed to me like someone who would bring an AK to a party. Twice.
Sarah C's didn't struck to me as having a personality yet.
-
Uhhhhhh-huh...? Are we debating on a gun character for Charas Doom?
-
Yes.
-
Okay, I was just making sure we were on the same page. XD
-
... We could aways make a new Charas mascot called "Lla fo Lla" or something.
-
Well, I've always seen Murof more as a medieval weapons user rather than modern ones, but if you think it would work, you could always use him. The only thing is... I can't sprite very well, and wouldn't be able to make Doom sprites of him.
-
Yeah. That's the point. Bluhman is an enemy. And a stationary enemy at that. XD
He could join the party. After beating the crap out of him makes him regain his senses.
-
To make a character i just gotta make weapons right? from the first person perspective?
-
He could join the party. After beating the crap out of him makes him regain his senses.
I expected that to be the whole plot. You know, since the demo boss was called "Corrupted JeT" I supposed all the Charas enemies were Corrupted.
-
Well, there has to be a few third person graphics for telling from the other player perspectives since I'm opening multiplayer.

[spoiler removed]

Oh please, I though we were keeping the spoilers hidden!
-
Good boy.
-
I probably would've signed up to be a playable character, if I had known that it'd be possible. I was like the 2nd person to sign up for the game, and that was still when enemies were being created. That, and most of the other main characters so far have been involuntarily accepted anyways.
But If movement frames can be edited into the sheet, whilst I make some portraits, then I could also work well as a playable character.
Ed: Whoo
-
Hummm... movement frames. I'll see I guess. I did add a pain frame. I guess I could add more.
-
Dude, a week of no updates? Lame.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Dude, a week of no updates? Lame.
I agree.
How's the game going, Fox?
-
Ah, sorry guys. I started work on a few more playable characters. And Bluhman who will be the gun user. I've been resource hunting/editing so that's why I haven't updated yet. Oh, I think I'll add more before the next demo. XD
Basically what happened: Studying for finals, finals, then sister's graduation.
-
...wait what? Gun user? Oh, snap.
Well, it kinda makes sense since I'd pick up anything which isn't bolted down, guns included.
-
No offense, but the question is, would you be able to use it effectively?
-
Sorry, I meant Bluhman. But here's the thing. I'm working on some advanced features of GZDoom, like 3D floors to finish up that deathmatch map. So all I need is here:
http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=25283.0
To get it to work. I need this because I'm working all other things in and I need a little help. I could do it, sure, but I want to devote time in design.
The running is needed for movement, doesn't need to be many frames, 3 is really all that's needed. Shooting would be 2 frames and I only need side and back versions. Same with pain since those are already done.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TusZup2lzI&fmt=18
The updated version of The Office. It now features 3D floors (the bridges) instead of wall teleporters. BTW, 3D floors mean that I can have a floor over a floor, but it is kinda difficult.
-
No offense, but the question is, would you be able to use it effectively?
No.
Has it ever stoped the stormtroopers?
-
I corrected myself, I meant Bluhman.
-
I corrected myself, I meant Bluhman.
I maintain my point.
Did it ever stop stormtroopers?
-
And I point out that Bluhman still needs those frames for updating him and making him playable.
-
omg Darkfox!! The Map is Awesome!! Yay me!! i contributed something!!
/applaudes Map (your Real one that is :P)
Also, do you use a Mouse? cause you were looking up which isnt very easy with Doom Engine!
-
Yeah, I use the mouse.
-
... how can you look up while using the mouse? I can make it look sideways, but hardly up and down.
-
Mouselook option.
It's in mouse options.

Updates:
After this video I removed the reflection since it was damaging performance and re-added some decor. Performance has dramatically increased in this map. Also, soon the main level will get this treatment, though shinyness may remain for it since it isn't a hurt on performance. (this is due to 3D objects being replicated and flipped for the reflection, it was for the best to remove the reflection in the Charas Office Deathmatch map).
Anyways, as requested by Grandy, rain was added! Thanks to JohnnyFive from the zDoom forums for this nice feature!
Edit: Yep, as expected, performance has dramatically increased in the Deathmatch map.
-
Looks really freakin awesome man, keep it up.
-
Fantastic DF, the Rain is utterly perfect

New demo. Remember to read the readme.
This Demo is also a multiplayer demo.
It DOESN'T have Bluhman in because NOBODY has helped with that yet... >_>
-
Can't test it. I can play as Warxe (with not magic) in the normal Doom game, but whenever I try to change the map to CHRS00 or CHDM00, the game shuts down. I goes as far as showing the stage's name, but nothing else.
Oh wait, managed to do it.
-
I was about to say, I was pretty sure I included all the necessary files.
Be sure to include the pk3 file in the external files.
-
Yes, that's what I did. Now it works.
...........
How do I play in the intertubes?
-
Yes, that's what I did. Now it works.
...........
How do I play in the intertubes?
Somebody has to host a game, and the other players join by using the IP of the host.
Host IP Address: The IP of the host. Wow...
Game Mode: Either Co-Op or Deathmatch. For DeathMatch use CHDM00
Players: 1-8, there is a joining option, this makes it so you JOIN instead of HOST.
Frag Limit: For host to assign the ammount of frags until the DM is over.
-
Since the demo has up until now a whole of one stage (two if you count deathmatch), would it be posible to co-op using Warxe and Alex in the original Doom II?
-

Yes, it is possible. Just skip to MAP03
-
Why Map03? 01 and 02 not good enough to you?
-
...*thwacks you* It's because 1 and 2 were replaced by the rain mod.
I'll need to remove the test maps sometime.
-
I'll play the demo as soon as I can but my laptop battery is pretty much dead and the plugins on this sde of the world are not the same so I'll have to wait till I get a new power cord.
-
Dark, where are you?
Will I have to build a cage with a computer to force you back into making this?
-
Summer heat, no AC. It forces me to do less than I want to.
-
Suuuuure it does. *grabs a list of names from the pocket, circles Darkfox's name once*
-
I want a nice multi-player Co-op style map. Ill see if i can design a really nice one. Im also determined to make a monster!!
-
Thanks, every bit helps. XD
-
Alright, If you have room for enemies

Here's a new video of the updated Bluhman, playable character coming soon.
-
I really do have to keep you at knifepoin if we want this to ge anywhere, ah?
-
LARGE BUMP. Though this is announcement that this project is not dead. Progress merely went underground for a while as I work on other things, and waiting for GZDoom to gain brand new features and tweaks, which happened recently. However, I have started to make a new monster. I wonder if anybody recognizes it...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/ShinDarkfox/Sprites/ARCHA1.png)
Next will add hands and animations and finish up the shading. Got to decide behavior pattern and stuff too. Though it is likely that he can pass through solid objects.
Suggestions? Sound suggestions? Attack suggestions? I considered a modified boo giggle though I'm not sure.
-
I expect many attack suggestion to be of suggestive content... or something like that.
I'm pretty sure his character bio says he creates weapons from himself or something like that. Which I guess doesn't really help at what kind of weapon he could use but... yeah.
-

I thought for Melee he'd do an "inappropriate touch" attack which would just be a punch but funny to put in the death quote "(player) was touched inappropriately by Archem". But other than that, I guess I'll wait for him to say what to do.
-
Might be the best idea considering this character is his.
As for ranged weapon, I sure expect it won't be some kind of fluid shot by some "gun" that he "created" from his own body. Right?

Oh, of course not! XD I am trying my best not to scar anyone for life here.

Or am I? :o
-
O alright this is back?! Time to start making some enemies!
-
It is back alright, and boy do I have a fun idea for level 2. Enemies are not all planned out but Archem will be a special enemy here.
-
SAI'BOT RIDES AGAIN!
-
SAI'BOT RIDES AGAIN!
YES! And that enemy may be first appearing in Level 2. =D
-
Actually, if I make some super stylized sprites and somehow figure out how to make a feminine voice, can Sai also be an actual normal enemy too?
-
You sure need some kind of humanoid wolf in blue uniform wearing a gas mask and using poisonous attack as one of your boss, as well as someone with talent make the sprite or whatever. Definitely.
*cough*
-

Or a player. There are selectable players too. Currently working are:
Alex and Warxe, soon Red Giant and Bluhman.

GAS CLOUD ATTACK! Yeah, I'd love to have that in for Level 3.
