B4 DooM XFX

New alternative version - play as the marines!

A new alternative version is available in the downloads section. The original version is now called Unholy god.

The new version simply takes place as the invasion is happening, so the former marines are fighting with you, but be careful - they get possessed and every monster respawns...

The action never stops in this fast paced new way to play DooM.



New! The most realistic fire in DooM?

Made from a combination of additive sprites and 32bit alpha channel PNG's for extra realistic flames and smoke, the new particle fire is also interactive - it can be shot, put out, and blasted on to your enemies!

Also in this video: the new lightning hands and impaling fatality.

Development update

New in this version (1.1)

Weapons:

• 2 starting weapons now repell and/or possess 
• 1 new weapon - "The Possessifier"
• much better firestorm - realistic explosions and leaves flames on the ground
• better lightning cast sprites and weapon hud using 32bit png images

Graphics:

• new dynamic lighting and GL effects
• new 1080p title screen 
• new explosions, special effects, and weapon sprites
• different color blood for different monsters
• voxels (3d pixels) from The Voxel Project

Marines:

• 4 new marines (chainsaw marine, stealth knife marine, chaingun marine, double rocket marine)
• new burning death sequence/fire damage
• some are possessed, others are used to summon monsters in their place
• can now kill or possess marines; killing them stops them shooting at you but possessing them takes their lifeforce for your health and souls for your weapons, and turns them against the other marines to fight for you.

Player:

• now impervious to fire and radiation/sector damage
• new taunts
• new blur effect when in pain, dynamic light when shooting
• view height is taller
• can pass through objects but not walls

Gameplay

• dead flying monsters drop a powerup to enable flight (ie wings of wrath)
• stealth monsters or marines drop a powerup to enable partial invisibility (ie blursphere)

Still to come - and you can help!:

• replace doom gore decorations with living marines
• impale dead bodies etc to become the doom gore decorations
