I mean he "explodes" in Heretic II, whilst in the original he levitated into the air and became elctrified, and then his skeleton fell over into a heap

Nice! I really like your usage of the default textures. Better than I could do...

Perhaps the title "D'Sparil's Resurrection" would be more fitting than the title "Curse of D'Sparil" ?
My reasons for thinking this way are because that latest image which you posted on the front page shows D'Sapril being crucified like Jesus.
The only difference being that he's nailed to a glowing trident instead of to an ordinary wooden cross.

You're going to put that image in the titlescreen right?

Another difference is that D'Sparil is the runt of a trio of evil demons, while Jesus is a peace & love philosopher (atheist view) / the human incarnation of the essence of God born to bring a new Covenant between mankind and the Eternal (Christian view) / the Penultimate Prophet (Muslim view).

In other words, what says D'Sparil is going to be resurrected? Would be a bit cheap.

Actually, I didn't really have any particular thoughts story wise about that image. Just wanted to have a cool picture to represent the project.

Even if d'sparil is resurrected. it'd still be part of his crusyness though. So I don't see any reason to change the name.

And you could argue against it being D'sparil on the trident anyway. I just chose the colors that I thought was most fitting. (which is really the only thing that suggest that it is D'sparil) In the titlepic version, the garbs are different as the trims are purple instead of gold. (But i've not shown you that so you couldn't possibly know that. :p)
It's really originally intended to be Corvus hanging there. But green/sand colored cloak wasn't as fancy. So I didn't go with it. Though maybe i should've.

I dunno. I've not even written any kind of story for this anyway.

D'Sparil can kick Korax's ass for all I care. I think Eidolon is the top though.

Well, even evil sorcerors have an equal chance of getting resurrected. I mean, just look at those Harry Potter novels and movies.

This is interesting. When I made Phobia and spent a lot of time on my deep distorted story, hoping that to read some speculations about it. (Yes, I did. Wanted to see if and what people made out of it.) There were really not many (there were one guy) who bothered with the story.

But here that I am making a quick episode for Heretic and admits to not really spending time with the story. People are discussing it before I even finished it. Probably because there's a back story to consider. But still. Interesting, and a bit disheartening.

Nah. They're just trying to find some big meaning in the pimpin' image you made.

I didn't even realize it was D'Sparil at first, due to the lack of trims on his robe.

It's hard to keep track of all DOOM WADs because they keep multiplying like rats.
While HERETIC and HEXEN WADs on the other hand are so much more rare that it's easier to keep track of them all. ;)

But here that I am making a quick episode for Heretic and admits to not really spending time with the story. People are discussing it before I even finished it. Probably because there's a back story to consider. But still. Interesting, and a bit disheartening.

To be absolutely honest, none of my own WADs ever had any background stories either, until one day I randomly decided to produce a very unique WAD with a title screen as odd as this:
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/DarkJedi188_pics/fivigret-title.jpg
^
Yes, some people thought this was retarded, but I was still proud of my clever idea...
Afterall, it's not everyday that you see Korax avenging the death of his younger brother with the aid of a tribe of killer echidnas. :)

Remind me why one is a human (or humanoid, we never see under his hood), one a skeleton thing, and one a generic giant red horned demon?

Adopted? :P

Well, according to the official printed manuals for HexenI and HexenII, the minds and bodies of the Serpent Riders have been warped by the powers of the Chaos Sphere.

So basically, this Chaos Sphere is like a dangerous drug. It did the same thing to D'Sparil and Korax and Eidolon that Sauron's ring has done to Smeagol in The Lord Of The Rings.

I hope this explains it well for you. ;)

If you're nitpicky on the little details, D'Sparil is the only serpent rider who actually rides a serpent. So Korax and Eidolon are frauds! Frauds I tell you! :P

Well, since I didn't think people was paying my ego enough of attention, by caressing it lustfully with nimble fingers in places which you don't speak of in public. I found it necessary to release this screenshot.
http://www.doglike.org/temporary/cu..._disparil_3.png

Enjoy. Now let the caressing commence. COMMENCE I SAY!

Looks good, if a bit too much variety in texturing maybe. But the small ammount of layout that we can see (or at least the from angle we're looking from) looks more suited to DM than SP IMO.

Looks good, I like it!

I disagree with Vermil about the texturing; I think the combination works very well, with the exception of the light bluish bars on the ceiling, on the right side of the screenshot. Those look out of place to me, but the gray/gold combination used for most of the area looks great.

Yeah I'm still undecided on the blue ceiling tiles.
EDIT: i'll probably keep it though. I like it.

^ I see shadowy corners and stainglass windows. Therefore, it seems totally Heretic-fitting. Nothing out of the ordinary which I can whine about.

First time ever I upload a vid to youtube. And it's for this project showing off the first map.
Hope you enjoy and if you don't... you don't deserve to enjoy. D:

I hope that video isn't a solution. I didn't even watch it all in fear of a spoiler. Besides, that archvile face spooks me.
