rehelekretep Posted September 1, 2016 map01 fda here, gzdoom 2.1.0 really nice opener. a touch large for an opening map. the lighting and the ambient soundtrack put me on edge, and the slight ammo shortages had me concerned. the invisible imps down the staircase room were the highlight; genuinely terrifying as i couldnt pinpoint them all and ran back up the stairs! i would either have no soldiers teleport in @ the blue armour arena, or have something more threatening teleport INTO the floorspace. i would just leave it bare, builds suspense. map02 fda here, gzdoom 2.1.0 enjoyed the frantic start to this map. 2 things stick out for me that could be changed in this map. 1. use of invisi-imps vs. regular imps. some of your uses were odd. using them on a flat plane, in a dark area (like in map01) where theyre threatening and claustrophobic is cool, but in this map (specifically the outdoor area) they were just perched on top of ledges and pillars. shooting them was annoying as i peered at my screen (maybe i need new glasses). and then there was a dark room where the YK is, but the teleporting imps were reg-imps! imagine if you enter the room, go toward the YK, and invisi-imps teleport in. would be much better :) 2. the YK passageway is not inviting/signposted. i think almost all players will go to the YK door nukage area first, then run out of their hazsuit, and have to backtrack. if this is intended then fine, if not i would move stuff around so the player visits the YK area first. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thank you for the demo. I'm gonna see what I can come up with in the Blue Armor Area, I might swap out the zombiemen in there.rehelekretep said:map02 fda here, gzdoom 2.1.0 enjoyed the frantic start to this map. 2 things stick out for me that could be changed in this map. 1. use of invisi-imps vs. regular imps. some of your uses were odd. using them on a flat plane, in a dark area (like in map01) where theyre threatening and claustrophobic is cool, but in this map (specifically the outdoor area) they were just perched on top of ledges and pillars. shooting them was annoying as i peered at my screen (maybe i need new glasses). and then there was a dark room where the YK is, but the teleporting imps were reg-imps! imagine if you enter the room, go toward the YK, and invisi-imps teleport in. would be much better :) 2. the YK passageway is not inviting/signposted. i think almost all players will go to the YK door nukage area first, then run out of their hazsuit, and have to backtrack. if this is intended then fine, if not i would move stuff around so the Thank you for the criticism. I will make the hallway down the yellow key more enticing/signbposted to explore. I'll change the enemy encounters around, but I'm okay with having Regular imps in the yellow key area. Jimmy said:that green sky tho <3 I'm glad you liked that. I was double thinking if I should change that to a citysky but I guess the green fire is staying. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

JohnnyTheWolf Posted September 4, 2016 How much longer before the mapset goes "gold"? 0 Share this post Link to post
Nrg01 Posted September 4, 2016 No complaints about the first part but this one exceeded my expectations. Details are king and this one delivers even more than the first part. The second level was unique, seeing that dead body fall, I liked the idea. The first secret level...damn, you did nail that one with the hellish atmosphere and unifying two worlds. I wish to have more of that nightmare-like levels. The sixth map was very good, and I wasn't expecting the second secret level. That one surprised me, particularly the way the demon key appeared which is original. The first boss fight surprised me, I kept looking at the green flames, wasn't expecting a boss fight, so the surprise element worked wonders. The new sound for the Arch-vile kicks the original into dust. You're definitely getting better at mixing both atmospheres (PSX Doom and Doom 64) into one. There's just two complaints: too few boss fights (where's the Spider Mastermind?) and the laughing sound...destroyed the mood the WAD developed for me because it did not sound terrifying/demonic at all, so that needs either tweaking or getting rid of it in my opinion. Ignoring that, overall this one left me wanting even more of these kind of WADs and even darker atmosphere levels. Keep up the great work! 0 Share this post Link to post

I really wanted to up the atmosphere in this game and so far, people have been loving it :) Im glad you liked my choices for the Arc-vile sound, I was unsure if it fits the Demon. Since there are only 7 regular levels I couldn't have to many Boss Fights so they were kept to a Minimum. (And there is only 1 Spider Mastermind in the Innocence Canon so that also makes sense) I used some sounds from Blood to serve as the Final Boss's voice, I might go ahead and Record new voices for him, we'll see. 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted September 4, 2016 Since this mapset uses custom sprites and draws inspiration from Doom 64, I would suggest you use this as an opportunity to incorporate Smooth Doom's weapon and monster animations as well as Doom 64 sprites. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thank you for the suggestion, but I would like to keep the Weapon and Enemy behavior and aesthetics as close to the original Doom as Possible. I'm really not a fan of "Smooth Animations" in general, unless the mod really calls for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted September 4, 2016 Fair enough. Still, I see you kept the default gloveless fist sprites, which are inconsistent with the gloved hand sprites used for the weapons. I would recommend you at least try to address this while you are at it. Anyway, I beat the first level and I am a bit annoyed that the exit switch is not marked on the automap. Since I did not expect the level to end at that point, I lost the opportunity to backtrack and fully explore the map. 0 Share this post Link to post

Hey Can you perhaps also try changing the chainsaw into a more bigger one? and adding a Flametower? and some others custom monsters? I think It's would Sounds original too. 0 Share this post Link to post

I want it to stay within the confines of PSX Doom/Doom 64. as for the chainsaw? I'm not sure what you mean by "bigger". 0 Share this post Link to post

Do you think the average person will be able to appreciate that great level being so hidden? thank you for the feedback. Giving it a second look, I agree, it was way too hidden. I'll see what I can do to hint to the secret switches or make a new sequence for opening it. EDIT: Went ahead and did some re-texturing and relighting on the level that contains the secret exit to give hints. 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted September 16, 2016 Hey this looks like a good start. There's a review of your Innocence X in newstuff now. I still see a lot of the problems mentioned in that review here. I think using new textures and doing some more detailing of the maps would help a lot. The screens so far still look too plain and flat. All in all, not bad, but you can do a lot better than this. 0 Share this post Link to post
