Anyways, that croc looks nice, but the floor looks akward D:

Nah, I think the floor (same as the ceiling) looks pretty nice. Agreed that you shouldn't use pure white though, maybe take away just a little green from it?

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Damned replies not showing up - not sure what I keep doing. :(

The room looks pretty good, but I second the notion of changing the white on the floor tiles to a light pink / red.

EDIT: It was in the screenshot thread, so ignore my ranting. Curse you for posting the shot in two places! :P

I mean awkward like, the gap between each 2x2 block looks too big and out of place

....Really! I have been running low lately!

Oh and. The hack is 50% done. (YAY!)

Not sure when I will show more content. Or if I will at all.
But I still need ideas and stuff.

What do YOU want to see in Ice Metal?

No.

It's a side scroller not a 3D game! XD

You will see what I have in mind later when you play.

No matter what anyone says, Doom is much more 2D than it is 3D. True, it isn't a sidescroller, but things like the fact that there can never be one room on top of another (because each sector can never have more than one floor height and one ceiling height) and that all the enemies are made of sprites (lawd knoes that sprites can't be 3D!) are evidence enough that Doom is much more two-dimensional than it appears to be.

BS was only referring to this beauty, BTW:

And did someone say Cyberdemon? >_> <_< >_>

While the GFX is 2D it's still a 3D object.

And, you missed my point. Using those sprites in SM would look bad in general. + What I design is nothing like that.

That's true, although I was only trying to offer some examples and suggestions. I never did say copy! And, you did indeed ask for ideas, so there you go! Wink

But srsly, good luck with your designing. I hope this stuff helps/inspires, one way or another!

Yo.

Have you ever played Doom before? The Spider Mastermind is much, much more scary than that ingame. Not as strong as a Cyberdemon, but still as much of a threat as any other boss can be with its hitscan front-mounted Chaingun. I heartily suggest that you go and buy, then play, Doom and Doom 2 posthaste, good sir.

I also really, really need to make a ~~Doom Series~~ id Software topic in the Gaming Board. >.<

copy some of the bosses to make more and make an acid suit if you make some of the rest in acid filled rooms by the 75% to the end.

A long escape route that actually has you thinking that you won't make it back to your ship before the planet goes boom.

Green-Kirby, ROAR!

To bring you a bit of an update.
Ice Metal is now on hold.

My attention span is not big. And I think I stated so when I started the topic but what ever.

To clear things up; Yes I will get back to working on it. But after 3-5 months of non stop working (Both on design and drawing fronts) I'm kinda tired of it.
I wanted to make a winter release but I can say right now that, that won't happen.

I don't think I have any big fans but in case I do; I'm sorry.

I will get back to working on it as soon as it is fun again. Feel free to use this topic if you want to.
It's not like I will not be around. I will still be hacking; Just not working on this thing.

And the more I hack the better I get. So in the end it will make this hack better. Wink

Wow I'm really surprised, this really looked good. It looked like you had put so much work into it that it was definitely gonna happen.

In any case, it takes alot to be up front like this about it, and I can appreciate that. Who knows, maybe one day soon you will pick it back up again. Just keep in mind that there are people out there like me who really really hope you do.

I hope you're not calling it quits. Just take a break for a while. Your inspiration will return.

I feel... insulted :< OF COURSE I've played doom 1, 2 and even 3, and I'm eagerly awaiting doom 4 now >_<

Still, maybe the Cyberdemon is stronger than the mastermind with his huge ass rocket launcher, but i fear the spiders most >_>;

Yo.

Zephyr: You didn't sound like you'd played Doom before. Regardless, I apologize for generalizing.

Also, spiderrs evarrhwehre. ^.-

MetroidBall: I wish you good luck in your break from hacking, and hope that you return to it posthaste and with added inspiration. I myself am pretty much stuck on weapon ideas for my ZDoom mod, and I hope that we both get our creative minds working hard enough soon enough.

Y'know what? Making an emergency pistol (like the one in ZM) in a weapons mod is starting to sound better and better... =P

Green-Kirby, ROAR!

Been two months (or some thing) I have been doing other things as youtube videos and playing games.

But progress is starting to pick up again. Then again I don't have any thing new to show of. I just prefer to make a note to people so they know if I'm working or not.

Starting to design the main area of the game right now. First drawing the new GFX then designing the rooms.
That be all for now I guess. Wink

That's good to hear, Crys. Don't worry if progress is slow, as slow progress is better than none. Very Happy

I suppose after my above comment, I should add that Ice Metal is now thawing. Wink

Yay! 500 posts! aiwebs_011
