OK, so I downloaded the nightly build of Freedoom the other night and after killing the first zombie, what met my ears can only be described as the most unfitting sound in the universe. I mean seriously?! Zombies aren't meant to sound like heros, and the high-pitched overfaked staccato constipated sound that came from his mouth made the whole thing sound like a Clearasil advert. To make matters worse, the Imp pain sound is the same, causing the imp to sound like a patchwork hero/man/poof/zombie too. Whoever contributed those sounds really needs to think about what he's doing. And the DSPLPAIN sounded shorter than the DSOOF sound. It was hilarious entering the nukage with that sound. It sounded like he repeatedly had arrows shot into his arse.
Also, why are some sounds copied over, like the Demon sight sound being just a copy of the zombie "ACT" sound? And the demon death sound being a copy of the DSSLOP sound? Were so many sounds dodgy that you had to delete them all? I know about the pain sounds nicked from Blood, but are all those other sounds really nicked from other places or something?
If they are, then I'm sure that people can do better than to duplicate sounds. It makes the whole thing seem a bit cheap, like GBA doom where they used the imp death sound for demons, or they use the pain sound for falling from a high place, or the rocket explode sound for the BFG. It just makes the whole thing seem a bit... wrong.
Errr, now I'm all out of things to rant about. Here's your sosp box back!
