Perhaps a demon spawn idea, a Demon Dog, really fast, just a little health, but a hard bite??

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Aren't flying skulls like that? And the fun will begin with the intrtoduction of that Caco-like monster from Doom II that spawns Skulls :-). Anyway, until I add all the rest Doom monsters I wont consider any non-doom additions (although the Shambler from Quake is running through my mind :-D).

[jake250]

So, if I understand you are going to add...

-ArchVile (I don't know how they would work though)
-Mancubus (Again, it would be a strange addition, it realy depends on how you make them)
-Pain Elemental (we are going to beat down a load of lost soul :P)
-Revenant (kinda weird :P)
-Spider Mastermind

The only missing monster is the Spectre, but it doesn't fit imo (and how would it works anyway?)

You could always add the "boss", that big wall, it should spawn monsters continuously and you would need to activate something, then go to a specific area... this area would go up and you could shot the boss once. Then they go down again and you need to activate the things again...

Other monster I may like to see...

(from Doom 64/Absolution)
-Nightmare Imp (Ok, Im not sure anyway if they would be any different from the normal Imp anyway...)
-Nightmare Spectre (Yeah, a Demon with 3x more health :P)
-Nightmare Cacodemon (a little harder to kill, rapidly throw 3 fireball..)
-Motherdemon (for a boss, it could be nice)

IMO however, I don't think monsters that aren't in any Doom game should belong in DoomRL, and if any comes in, better give it a realy good reason :P

ArchVile (I don't know how they would work though)

He would ressurect corpses into former humans (to simplify matters). Also he would have a direct yellow attack, that would have blast radius 1.

Mancubus (Again, it would be a strange addition, it realy depends on how you make them)

Why? A rocket wielding giant :-).

Quoting: jake250

Pain Elemental (we are going to beat down a load of lost soul :P)

Fun :-D

Quoting: jake250

Revenant (kinda weird :P)

Why?

Quoting: jake250

Spider Mastermind

That depends on wether I add some addiotional levels.

This would be overkill, but I thought of them as a brighter dot on the floor... But I'm afraid that might reduce the pace of the game.

I'm not familiar with Doom III monsters, so I'll leave them out. As for Doom 64 I don't know that at all, so the same :-/

[JimmyJ]

well, my idea was pretty bad :(

Its not exactly bad, just not included in any doom game, which almost automaticly remove the Doom feel.

Quoting: Kornel Kisielewicz

Why?

The Revenant's speciality is the rocket following you. How would it work? Does it simply make it an ennemies like all other? If so, IMO, there is not much point in including it. Maybe some originality could be used here.

If you ever have some free time : , you can download the PC remake of Doom 64, Absolution, which includes some new stuff.. Well, I recomend you download it and try it some days! (You only need Doom2.wad, if you don't have this then forget it :/)

Save it for QuakeRL ;).

Quoting: jake250

I'm betting my life: if he doesn't, he will in a few hours after he decides he needs them :). After all, Internet is big...

Oh, and good ol' Gmail is still an option ;).

That's left for Carceri ;-).

Oh come on, don't make me download/play anything -- I already have little spare time for anything ;-).

[JimmyJ]

lol, actually, I have a press release doom2.wad with extra stuff :-P

How is, it become visible only 2 spaces away sounds?

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

That still would reduce the pace I'm afraid. Anyway, both the methods combined would be more fair. I'll think about it. Maybe I'll introduce them only in special level types.

[JimmyJ]

At least we get them at all ^_^

This is an old thread, but I read it and had a thought...

It seems like lost souls or even imps would make more sense, thematically. Or even make a special Arch Vile Zombie monster type- if it's former humans, even aside from the question of how demon corpses get raised as humans, you have to wonder where their weapons come from... But lost souls seem like they would work very well. They might be a bit too easy though...

In any case, I'm looking forward to having more monsters to fight in future versions. And I actually like the idea of spectres as being a differently colored dot. It seems to be the best way to simulate the way they appeared in the original game to me...

[Gezol]

ugh. well, I screwed up on the quoting big time. I was quoting Kornel quoting jake250, to try to clarify things...
