darknation fucks about

Awesome!

OK, HD1 circa 2010 is activated. This fucking thing works.

What I'm going to do, to keep me sane while I plough through a hundred gigs of fucking shit, is post interesting doom-related things + projects that I find to do with as tho wilt. This will amount to textures, design documents, whatever I fucking want because it's my thread and you can't stop me.

Shit will be 2010 levels of politically incorrect, so no cancl plx.

First folder I'm seeing is DNWAII II, an aborted sequel to the legend that is DNWAII. So we'll start there.


DNWAIIII - Design Doc.

You are darknation.

You were sleeping, because that’s what darknations do when they aren’t drinking copious amounts of whiskey or burning faggots alive for fun and profit. In fact, the last assfag is still gently smoldering in the corner, providing a little heat to an otherwise cold evening. It lights the room in cosey hues of orange, making everything nice-nice.

You were having a rather strange dream about a turnip that could speak fluent Cantonese when things take a turn for the worse. The dream turns sexual, the turnip hisses malevolently into your ear as a strange, burning feeling crawls up your asshole and begins to evilly poke you in the prostate. It’s not altogether unpleasant, but…

HOLY FUCK! SOMEONE IS FUCKING YOU IN THE ASS!!!

You awake just as the intruder into your rooms orgasms thunderously into your ruined ringpiece. Instantly you know what has happened: Hyper-Dimensional Ass-Pirates from the magical realm of Crotch’Mor have teleported into your room via the 4th dimensional closet you bought off e-bay.

The Ass-Pirate flees back into the wardrobe, and now you have AIDS.

Fortunately for you, it is a fact well known (to those who know it well) that the Ass-Pirates have the cure for AIDS hidden jealously somewhere in the realm of Crotch’Mor. Stopping only to grab your shotgun, you plunge headfirst into the wardrobe to extract vengeance against the evil Ass-Pirates, destroy the 4th dimension and steal the secret of Anti-AIDS for yourself!

Objective one: Hack the Crotch’Net to discover the location of the Golden Virgin
Objective two: Kill the Wizard of Crotch’Mor
Objective three: Fuck the Golden Virgin to cure yourself of Gayaids.
Objective four: Escape before auto-destruct blows Crotch’Mor into atoms.

Gameplay Ideas

Go play cannon fodder by sensi, then come back.

Main gun – Limited range plasma gun. Infinite ammo so you can thrash it around like some plasma whip of doom, but you need to be close. The main enemy type has a similar weapon, but with a shitty fire rate and slightly less range.

Alternative fire – Grenade. 1 in 20 enemies will drop a grenade, which will promptly screech in horror and run away from you on two little legs. Grenades and rockets are the only way to destroy enemy spawning sheds / zombie teleporters / whatever I decide to make them. Zombies will very rarely throw them at you, just for the lulz.

Rocket Launcher – Super-limited ammo, but this weapon is a nuclear carnage machine. Flies a certain distance before exploding in a spectacular fashion utterly destroying anything it comes into contact with. Enemies armed with this weapon don’t move, but rather stay in position guarding strategic spots. Using their fire arcs to destroy enemy spawners / tricking them into blowing themselves to smithereens is key for cunning play.

Environmental dangers.

Water – Players cross water at half speed and CANNOT SHOOT WHILST DOING SO.

Barrels – Explodey.

Trees & Other Fun Shit – When hit by a grenade, these will fly up into the air like a rocket, fall upon the enemy THEN explode for no particular reason other than explosions are fun.

Sheep, Cows & Other Fauna – Explodey.

Enemy Spawners – Spawn enemy. lol. When destroyed, the place explodes, the door flies off then explodes, the roof flies into the air, falls upon the player / enemy / other explodey things, THEN explodes.

Hobbit Holes – Invincible enemy spawners.



Ideas

Pile of Fireworks – When shot, massive explosions, a giant rocket shoots up into the sky. Beat for a second, then the sky rumbles and illuminates with a giant fireworks display that coincidently spells “Andrew B Is A Giant Fucking Faggot”

Treasure

We want points in doom. We shall have points in doom. Points must be amassed!

Kill stuff for points. Collect treasure for points. Experience point system like cannon fodder perhaps? Player can shoot further / faster dependant on how many points he has amassed?

Remember to add a treasure chest monster… give it a real fuckoff roar sound effect, see if we can get those fucking bastards to shit their pants.


Baddies

The main enemy is the Pisswizard, who continually respawn at five minute intervals. Hopefully the Pisswizards will be the best doom enemy ever… it should be possible to actually do something unique and interesting with them using scripting.

Pisswizard Behavioural tags are as follows;

RUN AWAY
Pisswizards will run away with their arms flapping if certain conditions are met (i.e left at <5% health).

HAVE A FAG
Pisswizards will have a smoke break if left to their own devices for more than a minute.

BLEED AND SCREAM HORRIBLY
See cannon fodder for details.

There are also lesser baddies (five frame wonders) like weird mushrooms with fangs, giant turd-flies, amorphous blobs etc. Nothing exciting, just in there as game universe flora and fauna.

And zombies. I made zombies. Everyone loves zombies. There will be much zombie action.

Gayfag ManTank – Giant Suit of Mechanical Armour with twin plasma launchers + the occasional rocket barrage. Grenades / Rockets to kill.


Weapons

Only one weapon that can be powered up by collecting power ups (imagine!). It’s a plasma gun that shoots really cool orange bolts in triplets (they look really quite awesome, trust me). Gun has infinite ammo. I fucking hate running out of ammo.

You can also collect grenades, which are basically those little bomb dudes from Super Mario. They don’t want to be used as living munitions, squeak pitifully and try to run away from you. You can use grenades by right clicking (secondary fire).

Power-ups

Collecting weapons is boring now. Dnwaii II will operate a much more exciting Powerup system, like metroid. Yeah bitch, I went there. How excited are you by that shit huh?

LONG BEAM
Extends range of primary weapon to make it… you know, useful. Orange squiggly ball.

ICE BEAM
If scuba steve can do it in action doom 2, then darknation will steal a good idea when he sees it. Blue squiggly ball.

Uses for Ice Beam; as well as the usual freeze shit and use them as stepping stones (this will be very annoying in the doom engine; standing atop sprites is always a dodgy proposition, so will not be using it for anything major) there will be other uses. Some powerup will grow wings and fly away when the player approaches; freezing them before they get out of reach would be quite cool. There should also be a metroid-ish enemy that needs to be frozen before shattering it with grenades.

CHARGE BEAM
Not sure if it’s possible to do this in doom. Hope it is.

+1 BEAM
Means you fire bursts of four shots instead of three. Orange Squiggly Ball with +1 on it.

+2 BEAM
Five shots!

+3 BEAM
Lol etc.

GAY RAY
Does nothing other than turn plasma shots pink and make an apaulingly gay noise. Booby prize for fools who think they have found the ULTIMATE WEAPON. Purple Squiggly Ball with a cock on it.

+1 BOMB
Higher Grenade capacity. Browny squiggly ball with bomb on it.

HIGH JUMP
Makes you jump twice as high, like the human fucking flea. Red squiggly ball with a boot on it or some shit.

SPANK TANK
+25 health permenantly. Unf. White squiggly ball with a red cross on it.

ASBESTOS PANTS
Stops overcooking in lava. Yellow squiggly ball with nuke symbol on it.

HEALTH
Baddies drop this +10 rejuvination.

BIG HEALTH
Big baddies drop +25.


Jumping

Doom needs jumping puzzles.

Only joking, everyone fucking hates jumping puzzles. BUT jumping is good for secret areas. And if I add a High Jump powerup then that’s a fun way to avoid silly keycard nonsense.

Player should be able to jump atop a 64 unit tall box normally. High Jump will double this. You could be stupid and grenade jump to break the fucking game, but fuck you if you are going to be an asshole about it.





This is going to take a while to pull together, but in the meantime, have some screenshots that might be useful for how things came together / early test maps. Seeing shit in context and helping people figure out how it all comes together.






Note the Pisswizard with a traffic cone on his head. Fucking genius.

Right, this image upload site now sucks ass. Where do the cool kids go to upload images with no fucking about these days?

can i make a wad with these textures please

yeah

that looks so good thanks.

This is for the DBP, should it go ahead. You have my permission to use these sprites etc. ONLY after those guys have done their thing.

Defy me on this and I will eject you back into the void.

Alright, need a break from cutting and pasting, so here's some concept art shit from roughly the same era and some previously released sprite sheet shit.



Delicious metroidy.





Death animation sucks ass.

i.ibb.co/6H4Sk1R/blobwars2.gif



The Legend of Harvey Dickfists.





Might make a good stained glass window.

Some sort of fucked up cityscape with the sort of angles that will never work in doom in a million years.













The animation cycles do not work on this one.




I should point out that I was only a baby animator at this point - a lot of this shit moves really fucking badly.

Should also upload these, just to show where I'd like this shit to go. Amazing what slapping a little bit of dirt and grime on top of the cartoonish textures looks like.

Will upload more sprites and TEXTURES!! tomorrow.

Really, really last shit for tonight.

Ever wanted to shoot babies... in DOOM?

Uncle dn has got you covered.













Also this monorail texture from hell, which is SO much fun to make 3D using fucking sectors.

I really, really like the above style of animation, and it's about 500% faster than any other method I've encountered. If I was going to renovate any old sprites, I'd probably do it in this style tbh.










Here's another sprite / texture sheet. I've had a go at renovating some of the old textures by plastering shit all over them to see if I could match the new, grittier style without losing every fucking hair follicle in my possession and having to redo everything. Think it looks ok and doesn't take hours upon hours, but if anyone has a better method then please do let me know.
