ROTGS2

Greetings.

I try not to browse forums and post regularly (although the Zdoom forums have stolen my soul ;)) to often because I like to think that I have something better to do... sadly I don't :D. So, I thought I might as well become somethging of a regular here... to an extent :D.

Okay, how many of you liked ROTGS? I read a post earlier, i wanted tpo post in it but 1) It was pld and 2) It was locked :D. Anyway, I'm in the workings opf the sequal to ROTGS2. Progress is going slowly, but after a lot of being lazy and some work, I released demo version of it on the Zdoom forums. It's time to see what a larger Doom comunity thinks to it, so, here is said demo. It's short and is not the final version of the levels (they have been worked on since) but it shows off what I have been doing :D. Please don't upload this to newstuff, it's far to unfinished. This is just a little progress demo to show you what i've been up to and what to expect... also it clearly illustrates that i'm not dead :D.

Let the comments begin :D.

On a side note, I will make more levels, i just work really slow. I like to pay attention to detail, so i promise that my future levels won't be noobie crap. I think I will start to make more single, unambitouse projects after this and Demons Tomb (That one was posted on WIP). I need to release more maps, but I get to ambitouse...

l3xu5, before you want us to give comments on your project, make sure it is hosted in a good place. Keep in mind that Geocities is NOT a good place to host your project.

Copy / paste the link. Isn't that common knowledge yet?

Heh it's god damn scary. :)

Maybe, but why choose this when you can simply get a better host?

Bleh, I'll wait til it's done.

I have to agree. Lex, I'm not going to spoil any surpises by downloading this :P

That's fair enough :). You won't spoil much... bnut there is surprise in this demo... I can undewrstand you reasoning :). This was just something that I could show for my hard work so far :).

As for hosting, tell me where and I'll consider it. I'm finding it hard to find decent free web hosting and I don't know HTML too well. I only chose Geocities because I know it works... most of the time ;). After my freewebs website I'm beginning to feel that I need a good domain on the net. When I have a bit more money (in a few weeks)I will consider purchsing my own domain, but until then we can only wait :).

I really like the wad. Very atmospheric, especially in the cryo room. I tought they would attack. And later (not spoiling surprises).
The atmosphere is straight right, tough I didn't understand some plot twists. Hmm..
The enemies are well done, and the wad is.. really scary.

You may be able to build a very BASIC site at your ISP website. Have you checked there?

Creepy stuff. The atmosphere imo was like a weird "Alien movie meets scary Unreal and Hexen stuff" or something... :p
Those ambient sounds are freaky as hell, although i must say, that constantly playing metallic sound (from Hexen iirc) soon started to just annoy me.

Well it looks good to me. The only problems I had though was all the spelling mistakes and the sounds playing again and again, it got annoying...

In the current version I've extended the delsyds of the random sounds, added afew more varied ones and changed the hexen metallic sounds to moody metallic grinds. It sounds better now :D. As for the spelling, i'm not the best at that :D. For thaT i will get some guys on the Zdoom forum to proof read my scripts :).

The aim is an Aliens feel in general, and its' cool that someone thought I managed to pull that off :).

What's my ISP? I don't know much about these things...

I liked so much Realm of the Green Soul. My only complaint was the final battle, I expected a dangerous creature, not a hard battle because the room is small.
I know that this thread is about the demo of the sequel, but the classic "page not found" message is displayed when I'm trying to download it.

Anyway, nice to see that a sequel is on the works, the first chapter was great.

Copy the link and paste it into your addrtess bar. That usually works. Sorry for using Geocities but it's all tha I know of for now...

I believe we have here, the most atmospheric wad ever made. Dare I say it, I think this wad is almost as good as action doom.

heh comparing this to action doom is like comparing ralphis' love for horse porn to my love for having sex with beautiful women. they're two totally different things. the atmosphere in this wad is fucking fantastic, i loved those mods used. and that sound that comes in when it says "you realized so and so couldn't be killed etc" was creepy as hell. heh, excellent job. i really am looking forward to playing the finished version. oh, and if you need some help drop me a line, i'd be happy to.

So you're saying action doom is like the horse porn? Or the other way around?

no no, I was just trying to explain to you that Action Doom and Lexus's wad are two totally different things. They can't really be compared.
