I was bored, so I tried polishing up a frame of the Deadflare myself as a proof of concept. mirroring around certain bits, fraying the fire more, and adjusting contrast on the skull. I dunno if I have the skill to follow through on this but maybe someone else could use it if they want to attempt.

Maybe when they finish that new Cyber, we could use the current Cyber as a Mastermind replacement? It's already pretty similar in design. I'm not too keen on that Gargoyle thing being a Lost soul replacement, I'd be interested to see how HMG polishes the Deadflare first.

If you checked the latest version of freedoom, it was changed to a more "Ultimate Doom-esque" Pic with Freedoomguy fighting off an Orb monster and a giant Worm with an Angle grinder

I just wanna go ahead and say that I think "MAP13: Return to Earth" should go aswell for most of the same reasons (sacrificing gameplay for realism). Although they're done to a somewhat lesser extreme in comparison to MAP09.

I know its probably a little too late, but those two grinder firing frames are supposed to go with the other frames I already edited in Soda's wad. Just saying though. Here's a wad with some flat's that I did some edits of. A few I felt were nessecary and others I just did to see if I could try to help them stand out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9s7sfj9tg8ia9cv/flat.wad?dl=0 An alternate version of the current titlepic that uses Freedoom guy's in-game colors (His visor is more blue, helmet is entirely grey, and leggings aren't all green) http://i.imgur.com/4TMSgpb.png Also I just wanted to bring Freedoom's explosion graphic to attention, I feel we could use a better one as the current one has some nasty nearest neighbor resizing on the third frame and is inconsistent since it's used for the slug fireball explosion. http://i.imgur.com/0O7aQ4i.png

All of the muzzle flash frames and other things should be included in the wad in the same post. EDIT: I'm an idiot too, Didnt see that SuperSomariDX pointed out the same thing.

I should've probably specified. The not-scratch parts were some edited parts of the SSG pickup's barrel.

Some more stuff I edited for Freedoom. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3hv03os8xp7obb0/MoreFDStuff.wad?dl=0 Slightly better fist sprites (Arm color adjustment and anti-aliasing on the gloves) More consistent muzzle flashes (Chaingun's is from the older Freedoom sprite, Shotgun's was edited from SSG's) Slime fall (to match the other liquids, the current one is kinda iffy on quality) Dropped pistol sprite (for ports that allow it like Zdoom, made from scratch mostly) Also has a small fix to the Angle Grinder firing frames and an updated version of my GLDEFs to include Raymoohawks new Armor Bonuses. Also, I would like to suggest that we use the older DSPDIEHI for the normal Player Death sound (the one before the wilhelm scream replaced it).

The newer sound effects sort of sound quiet to my ears compared to the most of the older sound assets, maybe amplify them a tiny bit so they match in volume. And the newer SSG feels really tiny in first person view. It should be raised or be made about 20-25% larger.

I think what really bothers me about the SSG is how the pickup sprite doesnt face left-to-right like all the other weapons. it's a small nitpick but it's trivial because almost all other doom and doom engine weapons do the same. The SSG HUD graphics could use more polishing to look nicer but other than that I think it looks fine IMO.

Those two SKAG edits are the same, I just registered under a different username here. Also bringing up the subject of edits, there is also an additional Energy Cannon frame by Minigunner here that is interesting: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15080&p=541127&hilit=freedoom#p541127

That's fine. I just felt I wanted to pitch in my 2 cents on the matter. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things turn out. I do like all the other sprites you've done so far though, including those torches.

I don't really like the lizard-esque power-ups either. And I don't quite understand why the Zamanthytes we're being forced on FreeDoom in the first place. They literally seem like they came out of nowhere. Maybe they could be a good concept in some other creative piece, but not so well here. And it seems the community turn-out has been negative so far.

I think the muzzleflashes and hand (possibly a glove like the other sprites) could use a little more attention, too. But other than that, I think you did a pretty great job with these.
