a just barely edited video to show the latest developments in degeneration. I have not spent the time to make a proper video to share on websites other than this one since the dopes still have the same bland green cheerio attack and terrible sound effects from eh fifteen years ago, and the last part has even more stuff that has to go, including the boring old “weapons,” but I was bored of that ugly test room. I intend for there to be at least THREE ways to destroy dopes but these at least do as many things as the old dopes did, apart from attack with their umbrellas, since they no longer have umbrellas since there are too many existing characters which attack with umbrellas, and that was so even before i gave the first dopes umbrellas!
a bonus that i missed at first: the dope at approximately 29 seconds melts without being hit. It is so: these dopes are SO DUMB that after doing their STUPID dance they RANDOMLY DROP DEAD! Unfortunately I fixed that and it won’t happen again. I wouldn’t mind it but they still have the ability to take regular damage and then start walking around again so that is just confusing! I COULD set them to randomly drop dead and stay that way but that is too stupid to do on purpose.

Love the footage. Your game is very eye catching. The little violin always makes me chuckle.
I think this is the first time the UI has been shown. Will that change, too? Gotta keep them dopes ignorant!

Thank you! It is not much of a “game” but it has value to me.
The status bar was seen for maybe 1 second in the general dissertation about dopes from yikes almost four years ago and for slightly longer in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwfxQwQo0PE that one which I stayed up mostly the whole night between saturday and sunday to show in my chamber during my october art exhibition, and promptly removed from circulation following one instance of it. There is a system in zdoom for making custom status bars which at some point I need to investigate and deal with, so before then I avoid showing it too much since it, more so than the leftover wall textures (several more of which I have already replaced since the most recent video) and stupid HANDS in the foreground at all times, makes it terribly obvious that this is still dumb old 1998 Doom at its core.
Bad cow sez:
This is a very strange and interesting toy you’ve created. Is it available for all to enjoy?
Frimpinheap sez:
if it were available the video would be a lot more interesting than that! I fear there is much more to do and that a majority of the time I have to do things unrelated to it, but thank you for looking!
