FOOD (a WG Doomclone) v0.21

like the update, but the weapons keys are also not working on the new level

they aren’t working in general, cant tell if it’s the old no ammo in current gun bug or just a new not working bug

Just uploaded a new version with weapon key functionality! It was one of those things that needed to be ported over from the legacy input system that I forgot about until right now.

Ok I gave the new level a couple of runs, and its quite nice.

  • The new level is quite dark but it’s still easy to see doors so I don’t have an issue with it this time.

  • The new lost soul look a like is really interesting, as so far its the only enemy in the game where the shotgun is poor at dealing with them. Combined with the fact that the pistol is really good at stunlocking them, you have a good reason to actually use your pistol after you get the shotgun for more than just ammo conservation (at least until you get the chaingun).

  • The new cacodemons are… interesting, they have by far the most health out of every enemy barring the barons, their spread shots are really hard to dodge normally, but you can still side step them if you wait until they’re about to fire then change your movement direction, their shots clip straight through walls(this is probably a bug), and their new sauce makes it very easy to hit maximum weight.

  • On that last part, with this new episode and the new secret sauce, you can hit max weight about half way through the episode, which makes food pick ups kind of a waste once you hit max weight and fullness. If you do end up picking this project back up (which I hope you do because this is one of my favorite games on weight gaming) I’d either increase the weight cap or add in new enemies that are capable of removing weight, giving food pick ups more value.

This is WIP stuff I’m afraid, there just aren’t any lights in the level and the “flying saucers” (which is their terrible name) aren’t super final. The spread shot in particular is in need of a rework.

The idea for episode 2 is that you can hit max weight in every level but it resets between levels, your energy stolen by the Cyberdemon equivalent when you step into the portal. Probably something would happen if you got to max weight every time.

Thank you! I’ve graduated from “working on other projects” to fully “stalled out by life stuff”, so the chance I’ll come back to this once I’m doing the thing again is slowly improving. Very, extremely slowly.

Ah yes, stalled out by life stuff, the death of my Deviantart, the preventative for my patreon and the stalling force on both my projects here
