8thmonth

Oh..I've been meaning to add... I'm sorry about "taking over" this thread. I'm not trying to derail GeckoYamori's project, or steal his thunder. I'd work with him, or for him if he'd let me. The truth is, I'm not a great artist. I'm learning this as I go along. The criticisms are quite true, and the praise is only half-earned. I'm no gamer. :( But, you know what? There are no kind or cruel gods who smile or frown down upon us. It is we alone who make or break our own destiny. So, I'm going for it. And, maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll pull a rabbit out of my @$$. ...Or, maybe not. But it's worth a try.

Not bad...I'm not really into anime, though. :p Still, there's a good point being raised... Do I just reproduce the DOOM sprites, or do I try and add new colors, shading, or other "custom" details? Right now, it's kind of hard to tell what the finished product will look like. Probably a mixture of both. As it is, some "hidden" details are coming out. ...Did you notice the 3-D model used for the humans and player are the same? Only re-skinned. Even the chaingunner is the almost same model, just stretched out a bit. I wonder if those original models still exist? What a find that would be. But, as I recall, some members of the DOOM(I&II) team didn't like the idea of amature modders having access to the WAD data, so they may never resurface. Again, I have to re-iterate...This is NOT meant to be the ultimate doom wad, nor is it going to shake the community. It's just a little thing I cooked-up. For fun. If you want it..It's yours, for free. If not... ...Oh well.... August

Yes...It's me(August is the 8th month), and I did see your comment. I'm sorry I didn't respond there. In truth, 2x isn't that much different, and I'm probably doing this for personal reasons, rather than functionality. I will continue on, and I'll look %300 better when it's all finished. Will it be the greatest DOOM wad ever...? No. But if it draws some interest, and helps in a small way to keep DOOM alive, and fresh, it'll be well worth the effort. ...And, it's for a friend. And for all who came before. Thank you enjay. You make me smile every time I read one of your posts. :) You don't know me...But, your my friend.

However, while I have your ear...There IS something(although also not complete) that might be interesting to the community. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1M1-my1SeU Or download direct here.) http://removed.because.based.on/doom.iwad

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was just wasting my time. I'm glad to see some people are interested in this, even if it's a mixed reaction. The real key to doing this kind of thing is how much time I put into it. I've been rushing it, and not completing a set of sprites before I move on to the next set, which is why some look so bad. Although it's usually bat taste to look a gift-horse in the mouth, this "gift" to the community should be better before I offer it up. I'll put a lot more work into it, and post a link to a finished file before I promote it further. A cake half-baked is no treat at all.

No...You're half right. %89 of the time the player won't be able to tell the difference. Only when your toe-to toe with a monster will it look any better. But, what the heck. I thought it was a good idea at the time.

"To me the difference here is insignificant" -He he...Well, 2x isn't much of a difference, but if you compared the original sprites to my new(ish) ones, you'd see it, believe me. "I don't really see any of the pixels in that manner. I see the shape and colors, and my imagination fills in the gap." -I don't follow you...But if it's good, thank you. :)

Wow...I thought I was the only one who was working on a hi resolution sprite project. I wonder if we could combine our efforts? My wad can be found at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nois3k The file is under 3 MB, so it's a quick D-L, but I'm still working on it, so please don't flame me TOO bad!
