Thanks ! I could drop a demo soon. My game's enemies have quake 2's sound effects as a placeholder though. Can I legally send a demo with these sounds or should I mute those?  |

I Am Not A Lawyer, but it would, I think, likely be copyright infringement--presuming that the sounds haven't been released for such distribution. That said, I believe that there are sites out there that provide royalty-free sound effects--perhaps it would be worth searching through those for replacements! |

Honestly, there's tons and tons of mods (for classic doom for example) that reuse sound effects from other games. It's practically a tradition. If it's just a build for free and small-scale distribution I don't think you're going to get hit by an airstrike or something over it.

Thanks for the replies ! I'll wait to have the enemies models and sounds before releasing a demo. @Sprockhead : Thanks ! I don't have a composer yet as I was going to do most of the musics myself. But yours sounds awesome though ! My game aim to have a wide variety of soundtracks, from ambience musics like ones you can find in "Dusk", to straight up metal like you seem to already know how to do  . So if you have that versatility and ready for a challenge you can PM me ! + bonus screenshot  |

Very nice looking. First what comes to my mind is DUSK (which was too fast paced at least for me).

Thanks ! As for the too fast paced nature of Dusk, did you try to set the game to a lower difficulty ? My game is also fast paced but I think having a lower difficulty option would help |

I finished DUSK I think on medium difficulty. It was not so hard, in-fact, I beaten old Doom 1,2, Heretic, Duke3D, Blood, Quake 1 and also Quake 3 on highest difficulties. My problem with fast-pace is probably that I'm 40. I like more exploring environment a bit rather than zillion enemies and focusing on skill. Good example from old school is Duke3D or Blood where despite of being still old-school shooters, environments were great and one had time to explore them a bit. But it's just my personal taste. DUSK is great game and is not Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam just for nothing.  |

Alright so far there's plenty of interesting places to explore in my level : ) so I'll make sure to have a lower difficulty where there's less enemies and stuff so that explorers can have a good time while still having some challenges here and there |

Of course, that's up to you. I mean, fast-paced shooters as DUSK, Painkiller, Serious Sam were very successful as well. But if there'll be level exploration element, I'll be happy. |

I have been learning a lot since my last post and decided to revamp the base code of the game and update graphics and 3d models... that was a lot of work but i'm getting there, here's a screenshot of the current base enemy!  |
