looking sweet, but I don't dig the looseness of the last hat/helmet. It doesn't feel right. Seems like it would make rather poor headwear.

will you be using this template for the player as well?

I'm not sure what's happening. Is that a zombie or a severely injured knight?

Helmets!

I am getting more and more excited for this. Giant testicle beast, yesss.

I thought the boss was like that as well, but then I got extremely good at killing the hoppers almost as soon as they appeared, which would make only two between attacks seem like too few. Aiming the boss was, however, too difficult, and the only way I managed was to jump into the spikes and stand there for a second until he locked on before jumping out of the way. Which was made possible and easy by getting so many health pickups from the minions. I also think one more move for the boss would add a great deal, like perhaps coming down to hop around himself or something? Also maybe the tongue should be more threatening when it misses the spikes? like perhaps it tears up a boulder from the ground and flings it at you or something? At the moment it seems too easy to avoid entirely, and there's pretty much no threat until he starts spawning those little guys again.

Everything else is very pretty and incredibly polished.

hot damn that looks fly as hell.

are those the finished assets? some bits look a little sketchy still.

The game must have at least one recurring or omnipresent friendly npc.

are you still using only assemblee graphics?

I thought dolphin was a sarcastic reference to gamecube's name before it was gamecube.

I also sent a request. I have class the preceding Wednesday and following Monday, which is why I wouldn't be able to stay the whole time. I'll pay the full share in any case, it's not a big deal. Since my Monday class is in the afternoon I might even stay for last night anyway.

what they said

is there anything to do after you get the call?

I am interested, though I don't think I'd need the first or last nights. Could I just stay for the three nights of the jam and pay for those? In any case, it'd be great if we could get a large group to cheapen for all of us. And also more, merrier, etc.

aside from the silly out-of-place looking emblem on the chest, I like that a lot.

I've always not hated stuff like that haha

I'm not sure of the first one but more from those who made the second:
http://peopletoo.ru/

did the makers of doom look to contra and say "hey let's do that, but like this" though? Or did they go "Hey let's do this" and it happened to have, amazingly, guns and shooting, like contra did. If it's the latter I'd say that's not a remake of any sort so much as simply sharing elements. Guns and shooting is not a very hard thing to come up with without referencing other games.

edit: And even if they did consciously borrow some elements from contra and not just come to the same conclusion because obvious conclusion is obvious, there's a difference between making a remake and borrowing bits and pieces. Even with the furthest stretch I wouldn't call doom a remake of contra. With a remake you're starting at the point of the thing to be remade, and changing that into something else, but keeping the influence recognizable. Doom started somewhere completely different from contra, though, and to say 'ehh, well, they both have guns.' is hardly a strongly recognizable influence.

edit edit: In any case, I think phubans' proposition is a terrible one.

Avoid? It only wants a hug. I embrace it, hold it close, and whisper gently to it:
"shh, shh...everything's gonna be alright."

It's the end of the world as we know it. How do you feel?

I agree with Thernz
