[Zandronum] Love Live Skins PK3

[Jakub Majewski]

I made an archive containing some of the characters from the Love Live franchise as skins to use in Zandronum. Having searched over Doomworld, there haven't been any publicly released wads related to that(there is one I made, but I think I should save that for my Odamex 100-player DM Megawad), but I did find some info regarding a Love Live Doomworld Avatar Revolution, so I assume there are people who would be interested in this kind of thing.

 

The following characters are included:

μ's:

• Eli Ayase
• Nozomi Toujou
• Nico Yazawa
• Maki Nishikino
• Rin Hoshizora
• Hanayo Koizumi
• Umi Sonoda
• Kotori Minami

Aquors:

• Ruby Kurosawa
• Yoshiko Tsushima YOHANE

虹ヶ咲学園スクールアイドル同好会:

• Ayumu Uehara
• Kasumi Nakasu
• Rina Tennoji

 

All of them have 8-directional sprites, both standing and crouching. Along with that, each one has unique HUD face graphics and player sounds.

 

How did I make them? Some people were kind enough to extract 3D models from the Love Live All Stars mobile game, then turn them into posable models in MikuMikuDance. Sadly, not all of them, but what I was able to work with is the result here. I used MMD to pose the girls around and take rendered screenshots, then used Photoshop to do some adjustments. As for the sounds, there is a site dedicated to extracting sounds from Love Live SIF, and I adjusted those with Audacity. Ones I couldn't I recorded myself from AS.

 

I might edit this in the future, maybe I will add more charaters, or make refinements, depending on feedback. I was originally planning on posting my skins when I have more characters ready, like from other franchises, but I am kinda tired of editing this stuff right now.

 

As said in the title of the thread, this is supposed to run on Zandronum. While GZDoom has limited skin support, trying to get them to run on that was more convoluted. Sadly, I have no control over the fact that the engine tries to force a Doom palette onto the player sprite(brunette Yoshiko lmao, can also change the 3rd years' bowtie colour because of it).

 

This file is to heavy to include in the post itself, so a download link:

and if that doesn't work:

I'd consider sharing this on some Love Live forum, but I presume they are going to react something like "why are you mixing these pure girls with such a violent game like Doom? This is making me uncomfortable!". Then again, maybe not.

 

Not much of them, but still posting some screenshots:

This seems hilarious. Might use it for some Zandronum lulzies.

Looks fun! Also, where you find that start dash midi you used in your map?

I googled hard in order to find any love live midis. I found some, too bad that a few of them are still behind paywalls. Given that they are presumably intended for karaoke or something, they are mostly piano-only, which is a shame. The only one that wasn't was the Start Dash one, and so I used it in the map.
