Revenant and Doom 3 monsters.

(1/6) > >>

Malek Deneith:
There are two reasons for this topic:

1)First one is the Revenant - the only original monster (sans Spider Mastermind, which is a boss-type monster and thus in completly diffrent league) that still havn't made it to the game. Of course the reason for this are his trademark homing rockets, which are hard to port without giving them the dreaded auto-hit. So I propose we start brainstorming - maby we can think out somethign interesting (one thing I suggested was making Rev's rockets sort of semi-creatures that stay "alive" for limited time and try to catch you, but even I myslef see problems with that idea)

2)Second reason are Doom 3 monsters - I'd like to discuss whether some monsters from Doom 3 could make it to DoomRL (the sounds would be a bit of an issue, but then again we can substitute other monsters sounds). My opinions on those would be as follows:

Zombie citizen - eh, both cannon fodder and weak melee unit roles are already taken - maby an special level filled with those for a laugh, but otherwise skip it.

Chainsaw zombie - this one could be interesting, but crash a bit with chained court - maby a late game, rare spawn as a secondary source of chainsaw?

Maggot - not too interesting, sadly - skip it.

Wraith - now that's something interesting - they could could take over imp's melee role (give them lunge attack, as one that Berserk! bulldemons have and either phase at will or controled teleport), and regular imps could get an AI-shift into "more shooty, melee secondary" type.

Trite - can't see a way to make them interesting.

Tick - suicide bomber anyone? :D

Cherub - another one I can't think of use for.

Hmmm, 3 I found possible use for, 4 that I did not see use for... but then again maby someone else has ideas on those monsters - discuss.

Potman:
I've always thought there should be Spider Mastermind appearing in Spider's Lair, once you've cleared all the smaller Arachnotrons.

As for Revenants... Well I really can't see problem with them semi-creature missile thingies. You could guide them at another enemies, right?

You're forgetting Baphomet =p

Then again, I suppose Endguy already covers that post, seeing as he spawns monsters and otherwise sits there waiting for you to kill him.

Revenant and Spider Mastermind: YES.

Doom 3 monsters: DO NOT WANT.

This game is all about old schoolin'. It's more old-school than old-school. It's a roguelike of the game that came after Wolf3D, FFS. Doom 3 doesn't exist here.

Malek Deneith:
Yessss... it's god old-school weapon mods, old-school traits and old-school inventory all of which original dooms had. [/sarcasm]
