A few screens to keep you thirsty

 

 

[eierfrucht]

The level & weapon design is truly superb but the enemies made me feel like MEH.

 

Monster animations seem to have fewer frames than Smooth Doom / Beautiful Doom / early Metal Slug titles. It's not old school, it's eye rape. If the sprites are captured from smooth 3D anims, why not make them at least 24 FPS?

 

The Cyberdemon and his maul-wielding buddy look like overgrown imps with so much glow-mapping and self-shadowing that it feels almost like the art direction of Might & Magic VI / VII / VIII (those old first-person CRPGs).

 

The skull-headed big dudes (barons?) and the multi-armed small dudes (knights?) look plasticky, lanky and twitchy like they were ripped straight from a Redneck Rampage title. In fact, Redneck Rampage was my first thought when I saw the new monster design.

 

The dramatic posture and imposing physique of the vanilla Doom monsters is all but gone.

 

This seems to have been compensated by throwing in some more spikes of evil and overall edginess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From now on I pray that someone will make a mod for Age of Hell that brings back the vanilla monsters and removes those which don't have vanilla counterparts.

Regarding the RD2021 poster, something tells me the Age Of Hell hammer dude isn't in the picture, but there's a little chance he's the one next to Shelly? If someone could tell me, I'd also like to know who's the bloke in the middle and the one most to the right.

Shelly has the Graven Priest on the left and Amid Evil Champion on the right :) Not sure who the right-most guy is?

[Gez]

The robot is from UltraKill, the bearded weirdo below is the Dusk Intruder, next to him is a Warlock with a Project, then sitting even below is the Postal Dude. Graven Priest in the middle. Shelly and Amid Evil Champion, Caroline from Viscerafest, the Wrath guy with the mask and the glowing sword. Dunno about the last guy, either.

[Zaratul]

Right-most guy is Turok. :)

That's really cool!

 

Reminded me of this:

[Doom Guncaster K]

Will the weapons and/or monsters packs be released in the future?  I really digging into that crushader-like design and want to bring those Holy Might to smash variant monsters in other wads, tuu.🙂

Why is he there? Is Nightdive teasing the announcement of Turok 3: Remastered?

[Zaratul]

Dunno, maybe You are right. I`m hoping for more Turok remasters. :)

Yup! We're planning on releasing this as a mod as well to load with your favorite mapsets. There will also be an sdk to use as a resource to make your own stuff.

There might also be plans for a deathmatch weapons pack 😉

PROTIP: Developers will be more willing to listen to your thoughts if you have a little more respect than calling their work "eye rape". Vanilla Doom enemies having "imposing physique and dramatic posture"? I want whatever drugs you're on! Imps that look like gingerbread men and floating meatballs with two assholes? Very imposing! As are the zombies with green hair and the pink gorillas with buck teeth.

 

Also, not everyone likes the smooth animations of Smooth Doom/Beautiful Doom because it has a tendency to make things feel less punchy and impactful.

 

The enemy design looks great to me, much more creative and detailed than your standard Doom monsters.

will this also work on lzdoom or just gzdoom?

The Age of Hell ships with its own exe (which is derived from gzdoom). I should test the dev build to see if it works with lzdoom. I suspect not but it'll be worth investigating

if it doesnt it would be nice if you could make a different version using another render like gleszdoom

 

i dont want to come off as too pushy its just that the thing stopping me from enjoying many of the gzdoom projects is the opengl 3.3 requirements

 

sorry if i am asking too much i just really want to play this when it comes out

There isn't any, this is mainly a "teaser"/preview thread of what's to come.

[FranziskaVonCaco]

ohh. erm ok thanks well thats embarassing.  sorry

[jerrysheppy]

I mean there's already more eyecandy for TAOH than for 99% of actual released projects, so it's an easy mis-assumption to make if it's your first time seeing it.

Is there a bigger cover version to juxtapose with The Ultimate Doom cover art?
