/vr/ - Retro Games

The Doomslayer in GMOTA is interesting because it's probably the first time a mod adresses the Sentinel from nuDoom and "expands" on them (because they barely had material at the time before Eternal)
Mostly because a lot of 2016 inspired mods are essentially "backporting" things that exist (even if not 100% faithfully) and GMOTA as a mod has a specific concept in mind, so the nuDoom/Slayer stuff (and the made up stuff for it) is a minor part
But between how limited Doom Eternal's modding is and some drawings people made of "original demon designs inspired by DE", i wonder if it'd take some "new Doom in old Doom" mod or Slayer's Testaments to "expand" the aesthetic/mechanisms of the new games
Like, imagine if someone did a small wad inspired by Urdak and made up a bunch of enemies based off the Maykrs, with a few based off actual concept art
And this is if a "classic take" on Urdak and Sentinel doesn't get creative, since the UAC/Hell are also portrayed differently in these new games
I remember Wad overdose on Doomworld doing "sprite" versions of someone's made up Eternal designs
I actually wonder about D3 having "original demons" too because stuff like the Arachnotron is based off official concept art and you had a PE and Baron that looked like modified Caco's and Barons
Pic related aged thanks to TAG2 but i also think the purple goo attack could suit a different demon design

They do have that "MOBA" look, which i guess is natural in modern Doom
The real problem would be animating glory kills, i suppose

There was concept art of Hell priests being more fucked up and grotesque instead of the blue wrinkly old men they ended up as
Kinda reminds me of the "Royal Archdemons" in the same art book
Also, pic related was someone's take on the Chaingunner before the boring Riot Soldier in TAG2
I think Peter Lawrence even looked at this and said "the purple goo isn't bad but i would give it to another design"
To be a "purple goo" slowing down attack would fit Arachnotrons more because i'd make puddles of purple goo shaped like spider webs
