All that art is pretty awesome, keep up the excellent work!

[stumppy84]

Yeah, looks awesome! Can't wait to see more!

Looks awesome. Overpaint is still needed for better look.

Yeah, there's several similar tutorials on the best way to do it; I'm waiting to finalize all the models first before I start down that path

Still learning the ins and outs of Doombuilder:

(Vazovski helped with some of the textures)

[MrFlibble]

That's some pretty awesome room, I love the visual style

[HulkNukem]

My other project is just about done, so I'm starting back up on this
I've got another enemy created. Right now its just the one style, but I want to make new variants (with and without a tanktop, different skin color, and different melee weapons like a crowbar)

Just noticed the texture unalignment on the upper drawers :X

[OpenMaw]

Wait... Is Gunload going to be a Doom WAD now?

[Cage]

You're using ZDoom/GZDoom, right? If you're going for a more build-styled environments/level of detail, you might consider giving the player/viewport a taller height - I think it looks a bit silly when furniture that gives the impression it should be half your height, looks as tall or taller than your player character. It's like a being a kid in the kitchen

Looks pretty nice otherwise, though!

That's quite awesome!

Do you plan to have higher resolution sprites for the player's weapons though?

Levels created in Doombuilder imported to Unity through some custom scripting. Once it's all complete I plan to release the tool to the Asset Store for free (lighting, objects, and stuff like doors likely won't be imported, but I think it could still be useful to a handful of people)

They will be yes.

[HulkNukem]

With all this Ion Maiden excitement I wanted to put an update on this project.
It's coming along smoothly

Loving the SMG's.

[necroslut]

Looks really lovely. Sega Genesis-inspired palette and art style? The SMG's are indeed great, and love the enemies too.

Yep. I'm getting Duke64 flashbacks from those but at the sametime visually they resemble Sega art style which is pretty cool idea.

[HulkNukem]

Made a robot sentry. They patrol around the levels on set paths until they find you. If you get out of their range for enough time, they will resume their patrol.



If you kill them with the weaker firearms, their upper half will try to crawl towards you and beat you down.
Gibbing them will obliterate them outright.




Not captured, but there are also computer consoles that if you activate them, the sentries will actually turn friendly and start seeking out enemies for you!

Now, that's great.

Reminds me of Marathon and wondered why no other game back in those days had stuff like that and other friendly NPCs.


Graphics look amazing too.

[necroslut]

Looks fantastic.

Eradicator has consoles in some levels that allow you to remote-control enemy robots and use them to your advantage (and sometimes this is required to progress further through a level), although I don't remember if anywhere in the game you can actually turn a robot to your side and keep it like that autonomously once you leave the console.

Not sure if the Guide-Bot from Descent II counts as a friendly NPC, but informants from Blake Stone certainly do! There's also Strife but you might want to think of it more like an RPG I guess

[HulkNukem]

Worked on the Inmate.
They will use their baseball bat to swing at you when up close or sometimes throw it at you. If they've thrown it they will resort to using their fists and throwing baseballs at you (which can be reflected back at them).
They can also go and pick up their thrown bat and start using it again. You also can throw your own bat and pick up theirs if you lost yours (they can also pick yours up though so be careful where you leave it...)

[Ninety-Six]

First time seeing this.

Am hype.


I genuinely wish you the best of luck with this project. Another shooter in the vein of Dusk, Ion Maiden, and Amid Evil is welcome (though it would appear this predates at least some of those, so that's neat). More proof that this resurgence ain't just some nostalgic throwback.

I actually asked for permission from either Hendricks, Terminx, or both about wanting to post a texture artist hiring thread literally a day before they announced they were hiring for what would become Ion Maiden. It predates even Strafe's original announcement
Although where Voidpoint is almost done with Ion Maiden, I'm a damn turtle and am only finishing up the first episode.

[TerminX]

This is looking really cool.

Is it going to be released in episodes or will you wait until you're done with the whole thing? 'Cause I'm really looking forward to playing this,

It's just you working on this or did you manage to get a texture artist? Looks awesome so far.

Episodically, and I'm aiming for an April release for the first episode. First one will also be completely free along with an optional "tip" that I'm thinking will have some goodies like the soundtrack and an exclusive shooting range style level where you can spawn in any enemy and weapon and mess around.
Not entirely certain what I'll be doing for the other episodes. If there's enough interest and money earned then I can hire additional help, otherwise it's going to keep going at a slow pace.

Couple guys helped with art along with myself, and I'm doing all the level design and coding.

[NNC]

Wait a minute... Will we have a rival to Ion Maiden? That would be too good to be true.

[HulkNukem]

I would love to do for GZDoom what Ion Maiden is doing with Build. That is a pretty tall order, however, and I'd be happy with even 1/4 the success Voidpoint has had so far.

[HulkNukem]

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever see this project through due to a number of circumstances.

I am playing with the idea of releasing all the art as is, however, in hopes they'll be used in custom wads/mods/whatever in the future.

Samples of some of the characters, some of which were 100% complete with rotations while some were still very WIP

[NightFright]

Don't give up, man. You had a really nice art style going there. Let's say it's a creative break rather. But well, maybe someone else will feel compelled to finish this since it'd be a pity to waste all this amazing effort. Hope dies last.
