Death Egg Posted April 18, 2016 http://www.chexquest.org/index.php?topic=5307.0 Looks pretty good with the little that's been shown off. I don't know how many people here care about Chex Quest but it was a big game of my childhood, so I'll keep a good eye oh this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted April 18, 2016 When are you guys gonna do a Chex Quest community project? :p 0 Share this post Link to post
BluePineapple72 Posted April 18, 2016 There's a ChexQuest fan forum? The remake looks absolutely amazing by the way :D 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted April 19, 2016 I actually thought about how Chex Quest could become useful for introducing kids and the like to Doom modding without the obviously mature content that Doom has. You could make mod projects as easily with Chex Quest as Doom since it's just a total conversion of Doom, anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Silverforte Posted April 19, 2016 Looks great, I always loved the tone that chex quest brought to the table, and I actually prefer a lot of the weapons and sound effects to doom, like the plasma rifle replacement, that thing is awesome. Gonna keep up on this for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spectre01 Posted April 19, 2016 The fact that there exist an active Chex Quest forum in which some feller managed to post over 4k times is mind boggling. 0 Share this post Link to post

snapshot Posted April 19, 2016 Those shadows made me think it's going to be remade on ID Tech 4, It looks Nice . 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted April 19, 2016 - We would like to get a breakdown of how the sounds are used. If we could get a list of each sound by its Doom name (etc. DSBGACT) and what it is used for, that would be super helpful since we have to recreate all of the audio logic in Unreal. Check ZDoom's SNDINFO for Doom + Chex Quest.- We would like to get some sort of technical writeup of the stats of all the various weapons, enemies and items if possible. Check their individual pages linked from here, here and here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arctangent Posted April 19, 2016 This is cool and all, but honestly the enemy models look terriiible right now. They really don't look like they're made of any kind of liquid, even perfectly opaque slime, and it's pretty clear that their cartoony design doesn't really work with such harsh shadows. Also, I really hope they don't try to recreate the levels 100% and just keep the geometry and aesthetics of them - especially considering I doubt it'll feel like id Tech 1 anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post

Koko Ricky Posted April 19, 2016 It looks like a kid's cartoon which is a good thing. Looking forward to seeing more progress! 0 Share this post Link to post
mdmenzel Posted April 19, 2016 HD? I thought the low-res is what gave the original Chex its charm. 0 Share this post Link to post

This is my only gripe from what's shown so far, they look more or less like plastic action figures. The Chex suit HUD looks pretty nifty, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

I kind of dig that though. Maybe it should lean into that "plasticy" look even harder. Own that style. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted April 20, 2016 I don't feel like registering on yet another forum just for a post or two, but any question they might have about Doom actor logic can probably be answered by going on the real Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org; notably this page is a good overview of the principles behind monster AI. Then they can complete by looking at the DECORATE code for the Chex monsters in ZDoom and looking up the codepointers on the ZDoom wiki. 0 Share this post Link to post
cq75 Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks for the links guys, I didn't realize doomwiki.org had such good reference pages. I replied to the topic again with some links http://www.chexquest.org/index.php?topic=5307.msg195497#new Also there's been quite a few attempts at Chex community projects, most of them don't last, unfortunately.... it would be awesome to have a good sized map pack for Chex though. 0 Share this post Link to post
