HeXoom Project, need help!

Recommended Posts

I have in my mind a project from a lot of time, that i would call "HeXoom", because it will be a joint of Hexen, Heretic and Doom. You see, i've already done 6 maps, but i realized that one or three people can't do a megawad. :| However, i don't want some "servants", i will be always available to do maps and mods, and i will never be tired of help... :-D Also i need someone that can make some videos, because i've never understood how to do it. I'm the modder and mapper, so for the mod there is no problem. :D Ok, so, let's talk a bit about the project.
It's joint (like i said) of Hexen, Doom and Heretic so there are monsters, textures, and decorations of three games. But there is a new:
There are three character, like in Hexen, who are: Fighter, Marine, and Mage. They have 8 weapons, that includes those of Heretic, Doom and Hexen. I would add also the Heretic player, but i can't because of some incompatibility with the difficult of the game unlike with other characters. I'm also adding some screenshots:

These screenshots have been taken from the third level. You should have realized that i am not a GREAT mapper, you're sure better, but i will do my best to make this Pwad. I hope you like this project.

Why not make Corvus the Mage?

And I enjoyed Herian 2, which was a similar concept, so I'll probably enjoy this.

I meant the gameplay and the maps and all that :p

Sorry, but I only just starting editing at all a week ago, and blew it up several times, I cant help you with making anything

But yeah, if you want a mage character, just use Corvus, he hits the role, what with pretty much every weapon of his being that of a mage. Are you using different weapon sets for each? Because I cant imagine Doomguy using the frost weapon, at all.

No, the marine just has the doom weapons, the fighter his and mage too.
I've add some weapons to the fighter and the mage, like those of heretic, and those of the cleric

The Mage weapons could be mixed and matched with Corvus' yeah, and the Fighter could use the Cleric Mace, and Corvus' Staff and Firemace

On a random note, Corvus firing at something in chasecam view looks awesome. And he has the most awesome "extreme death" Well, no, Strifeguy's death by fire is the best, but unless you expand your project to include all four games, he doesnt count :p

You give me too much credit there :p

Just some thoughts that crossed my mind about weapon sets if you had one from each game, thats all. Theres also balancing that may be a problem, since all the games are so different. Corvus' weapons are a pretty good match for Doomguy's for example, you have the Staff and Fist, Gauntlets of the Necromancer and Chainsaw, Pistol and Wand (Although the wand is ALWAYS useful for backup unlike the pistol), Shotgun and Crossbow, Demon Claw and Chaingun, Hellstaff and Plasma Rifle. The BFG and base Firemace are really different, but the Firemace powered up is similar, since it kills any non-boss in one hit, and even homes in on enemies.

With the Hexen weapons, they may have to have clever edits to have them similar to Doomguy and Corvus's weapons in function and balance, but still be different enough to not be mere reskins.

But being a Fighter, your free to ignore a lot of that, as he's supposed to kick ass up close. Maybe have his limited weapon numbers in comparison be split up into "modes"? Like for when he must have range.

Im going in circles now, because there are so many ways you can handle weapons, but "balance" is probably the unifying theme. Better leave this to an actual pro that knows how to handle this well, as ideas arent always great. But I do think Corvus should replace the mage, to keep the Heretic aspect possibly more than a weapon or two and some enemies from it. Afterall, Hexen is the Heretic sequel, so its easy to pass it up and use Hexen instead, like ive seen several times.
