This reminds me a lot of Project Warlock. Really love the style of Mighty Knight, though one issue I've had is its almost impossible to dodge the monsters projectiles, (or are they meant to be hitscan?) unless you're a ways away. Just a little ways in this and having a lot of fun, great job Waru:)

Thanks the feedback :). The monsters doesnt have a hitscan attack.. It's just really fast projelctile attack.  
 

Had a small play and i really like it. You deffinitely hyped me to see the final version. There's nothing bad to say, i love the visual side of this and level desing is pretty good maybe o i would made bitt more height changes through some sort of stairs or lift maybe. Aslo this is only idea but i think some sort lights that will produce some colored lights would help the allready good atmosphere a bitt. Great job waru i love it.

(those drunk soldier are f*cking awesome)

I'm not sure if this is bug but i'm not able to open this door more than once and i ended up being stuck

Thanks for the review (y). Sadly its a bug.

Loving the visual style going on here. I'll make a note of giving this a spin sometime soon. c:

Thanks man (y)

Check the gameplay videos on youtube.

MAP01 "Mine"

 I'm excited to release the full version.  I think you will like it. 

I make map markers (Player start, locked doors). What do you think guys? Is this a useful thing or not?

I think this can be useful in a lot of the more complicated levels. I believe Soul Crusher has this sort of tool and in a mapset like that it was essential for progression. So I would say stick with it.

Ok , so I tried the Demo and I have some mixed feelings about it :

First of all , I didn't read the story description in this thread , and without an "in-game story" I was really confused about why I was there killing these guards with a weirdly angled pistol.

This confussion made worse the excessive amounts of blood and gore that these guards splashed when hit by a bullet, I kinda felt sorry for them, and it gives me some Brutal Doom vibes , but in a world that doesn't look violent , so it looked off for me :/

(Also the amounts of blood caused some massive drops in performance)

Apart from that I liked the cartoony aesthetic , and I liked the music.
The rapidly increasing lag made me stop playing, but I would like to give it another shot, in a future version of this game.

Good work!

thanks for feedback! i think the cartoon graphic mixed whit brutal gore is a good idea.some people don't like it. I accept this.

I didnt know how to put a story before starting the first map (i'm just begginner)  sorry.

In the future the mod release 2 version (normal and low blood "performance friendly")

I will look forward to that version !
And about putting a story , I'm not sure as well , but I guess that you could do it with the TITLEMAP and some ACS.

I remember that "Shadow Of The Wool Ball" and "Rise Of The Wool Ball" have some intros with use of cameras I think, that they could be worth checking out !

I solvedthe problem. Im just add "map00" before map01 with cluster "exittext".

Also here some pictures of the upcoming levels:

(to keep the community interest up)

So I played through the first 2 levels of the demo, and here are my impressions.

While the level design isn't anything to write home about, the blockiness of it works wonderfully with the overall aesthetic. The maps themselves, while obviously non-linear, feel just linear enough to not make you feel totally lost at any point, which is something I hold to a high regard when it comes to level design in general. I also liked the fact that there are differences between adjacent rooms, whether they're subtle or obvious, which certainly helps navigation in its own way.

I didn't notice much difference in the behavior of different enemy types, but then, I did only play the first 2 levels, so I'm guessing there will be more distinct types of enemies later on. The weapons were all satisfying to use, especially the shotgun. It certainly packs a punch - an almost shockingly heavy one considering the overall aesthetic of the mod. :P

The only thing I'm not so much a fan of is the decreased movement speed. I feel that it makes dodging enemy projectiles unnecessarily difficult. I can't even recall an instance where I successfully dodged a projectile.

Overall, though, you've done good work here. I'm certainly looking forward to more of this thing. c:

P.S. Oh, and if you're looking for musicians, I'd be happy to contribute a track or two.

Basically mod looks pretty cute. But I noticed that the physical dimensions of the objects do not match the visual. You constantly come across the edge of the invisible, in an attempt to circumvent obstacle. It's very annoying.
