The People's Doom Developement thread: visuals

[Wereknight]

Okay, since @Boingo spoiled that I'm involved into this project it makes sense to make one of developement threads. This one is Show-room of some sort, right.

 

I've started work on tPD' visuals 2 months ago while I had vacation. Now it's a bit problematic but graphics machine still work in my head... even if it brings me suffering (thanks to my job for that).

 

There, I'll be putting some progress on how things are look both outside and directly in game. So you'll be able to see is it really worth of your attention or not (depends on 'different people have different tastes" cliche).

 

OP will be separated into 3 parts: text part (this one exactly, what a coincidence, really), TPD related stuff I've done and in-game screenshots showing how does it look directly in TPD.

 

=====

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Don't forget that everything is subject of any possible change and is not a final product. No one guarantees all these sprites will be included into game.

I completely agree, you have a distinct art style, great job! ^_^

 

So some of the weapons will not be centred?

[Wereknight]

Only chainsaw.

[Wereknight]

alright, here's update:

I've finished small red torch. Must to say it's not that easy to combine giger vibes with visage of maniacal zealous people affected by some extraterrestial shize.

 

[Dexiaz]

You did it great, looks very "qualitatively"

[MrFlibble]

Very awesome looking torch.

[Wereknight]

 

So, all torches done... lucky me...

 

[ETTiNGRiNDER]

I like the direction this seems to be going in.

[Wereknight]

alright, let's talk about monsters a bit.

 

Here's some ideas for them. important note: first sprites appears as tPD main hero. other gentlemen are result of genetic awkwardness

 

[fraggle]

Heads up that I've moved the TPD threads into Wads & Mods since it's not really Freedoom-related.

Is that... freiza? From dbz?

I wonder if @Linguica will allow us have our own sub-section in "special interest" later... okay, thank you.

I can not say for sure why you all see him there... No, that's not him.

[Walter confetti]

Well, it pretty resembles his design... https://goo.gl/images/AY2qm3

[Wereknight]

 

little update: so now we have full enemy roster... maybe.

 

 

Last enemy design isn't finished, yet.

I definitely like the giant mecha Mastermind, the Baron, Caco, Soul and Pinky counterparts, not sure about the rest. The zombie replacements look kinda smallish.

[Wereknight]

Progress takes eternity for moving. Thanks to my job, I just barely have time for my needs.

 

[Wereknight]

we are one. But we are shattered, deranged shadow of ourself so we now are many.

 

Quick revival post for those who still have interest in this. Yes developement still going BUT. There's always BUT.

 

Currently I'm dealing with current situation around my unpredictable future. I'm going to get my life back, so I will never deal with army service anymore. That's a good thing tho.

 

Now, on topic: I'm re-doing entire arsenal. Old variants no longer satisfy me and do not belong to vision of how they should look, really.

Currently they are all just single sprites, again. and they are pretty RAW. Ultimative weapon still missing, but not for long I guess.

 

[ShortedOutFuse]

Great work with the sprites, the art style is very unique yet still blends well with Doom.

[Doom Marine]

@CWolf I like what I see.

 

I hope you don't mind that I modified your exploding container for my own use, and credit will be assigned accordingly.

 

 

-alternative 5 frames-

 

Let me know if you're cool with this.

It's okay, you can use it.

[Doom Marine]

 

The frame where the barrel is beginning to crack, is tweaked to match the aesthetics of the explosion frames thereafter.

Also now Doom palletted.

[Wereknight]

Oh I so regret being that slow...

 

Kinda redoing things AGAIN. Yeah... I'm that kind of idiot. Anyway, here's the thing: I currently redrawn fists, chainsaw and starting rifle. Now I just need to re-do shotgun and make animation for the rest.

 

Throwing some videos so you not get bored for awhile.

Spoiler

 

Gotta say, I made slight changes to pallette. Colors look better (more gradation from bright to dark shades) but uh... just look at chainsaw, you'll figure the consequences of such decitions.

 

[Gideon020]

Oh lordy, now I really want to play this bizarre creature when it comes out.

[Wereknight]

Here's another one, demonstrating shotgun

[Wereknight]

Well, lucky me! I've finished with arsenal... almost. 

 

 

The only thing remaining are proper reload and on-hold sprites for shotty and plasmagun.

Did you mash in some of the original vanilla barrel explosion? It looks really similar.

Yes, that's exactly what I did.

[Wereknight]

good news, gentlemen. From now we finished with arsenal, it's fully ready.

 

 

However, due to new palette we have I'll need to re-draw some stuff for it. And re-do some others
