Can't wait for the entirety of both Crusader Games to be remade in GZDoom

@@ShinoSarna Glad to see other fans of the Crusader games. I had the demo when I was a kid way back, but I only beat the full game a few years ago. I managed to use joy2key to jerryrig a modern controller to get semi-decent controls working, and it's a lot better than the default controls in both the PC and PS1 versions, but it was still super clunky. A modern remaster with fluid controls and gameplay would be amazing

Imagine an RPG doom game like OG isometric Fallout just like this 🤤

oh yeah... was thinking of that .... an ARPG like diablo 2 or something

3:24 That made me realize that anyone making a game in this would need to figure out something so enemies don't shoot you from too far off-screen. Then again, answer would probably be manually limiting monsters attack range.

@SinaelDOverom

you can write custom attack functions that have limited range and require enemy to move closer to the player to use.

@ShinoSarna

@@SinaelDOverom Yeah, exactly what I meant. And it's best to have a custom attack function, because if you did some code that prevents enemies from shooting when offscreen, that would change the difficulty based on resolution. Which is obviously unwanted.

or just do what Hotline Miami 2 did and say "actually getting shot from random directions by enemies miles away is a feature and it's meant to be hard shut up"

mitigated mostly through level design I assume

I can't imagine how much you had to fight with GZ Doom's code to get this to work. I can see this opening up the path for a shit ton of new games on the engine. Good work!

I would play the shit out of a Doom adventure game that has slow, relaxing story sections like the start of this demo mixed in with action segments like at the end. Your work is looking amazing.

The fact that it clearly started as another Crusader No Remorse remake in Doom project it's great

I can see a *LOT* of potential, combined with RPG and/or some kind of turn based mods using this perspective! 🤤 👍

OMG!!! This is Really Cool!!! It reminds me Shadowrun when I was a child and I used to play my old SNES!! Amazing memories, thanks for this. Instant Suscription!!!

This would make an amazing horror game with the fog of war. Especially with the doom sounds echoing if there are monsters nearby to add ambience.

Freaking amazing

This is seriously so slick! Lovely music and a very awesome mod, this is some incredible work!

My god that is a thing of beauty! That camera rotation and z-level tracking being so smooth blows my mind

Nice! Someone should remake Diablo 1 with this and try to adapt its artwork with this camera rotation function in mind. Being able to see Diablo 1's levels in ways you never could because of its fixed camera position would be incredible!

This is amazing. Original X-Com vibes, but in our beloved Doom setting.

Whoa, this is so much better than i expected. You really did put the work to make it work.

Combined with obsidian level generator this becomes truely isometric doom rougelike.

If you're able to do all this to GZDoom, you should be able to optimize the hell out of it

I think the graphics optimization efforts are all occurring in vkDoom. Check it out. They are also pulling commits from gzdoom, so this should all be possible there too.

@@dileepvr VKDoom optimizes like how you can optimize GZDoom by getting a far more expensive and powerful CPU (In terms of individual core performance). Mostly because it just does so by raising the system requirements, not making anything run any better.

Game looks awesome! Thought the music was a cover of Iron Maidens These Colours Don't Run for a sec.

This is really cool. Wasn't expecting to see Crusader assets being used.

Keep working on this man, it already looks great. Hell, I mean it would be even more awesome if you could expand this outside of the reigns of just GZDoom. For a while I've been thirsting for an easy to use and straightforward game-engine specifically designed around easily making isometric games like Baldur's Gate, the first 2 Fallouts, or even Diablo 1 and 2, and there really aren't many options, and what there is usually isn't in any sort of active development and hasn't been worked on in years. Would be great to see your project move forward into being something like that.

Magnificent :) This has so much potential!

THIS IS LIKE DIABLO WITH TOO MANY STEPS

I WANT to replay DOOM with an ideally optimized implementation of this!

That Fear and Hunger pit wouldve worked wonders if you had Natures Call enabled

Thats looking awesome so far

Looks promising, Good luck!

woah this is pretty cool! nice work :D

this is insanely good, imagine a fallout game like the originals in this engine

I congratulate you this is great!!

interesting to see where this is going!

Let's hope this time it gets merged into GZDoom. Also, maybe add a flag for preventing sectors from rendering in isometric view? Since in the second example map the polyobject sector is visible, and I presume other types of control sectors are visible too.

I can't wait to watch Zero Master -try and- speedrun this.

Seeing this makes me wish voxels were still rendered as particles like the now-discontinued ZDOOM. Next best thing would probably be low-fidelity 3D models, but I could see basic 3D visuals and the your isometric mod being used in projects emulating Tiberian Sun's visual artstyle

Someone sure chopped up “Pull me under”.

Love this work. Keep it up!

man, fallout 1/2 modding scene be looking good! (/j, i know this is doom)

perfect for recreating POSTAL 1 with Doom

Truly impressive stuff.

Very very cool, well done! 👏🤘

I can't wait to play this

Great job! Excellent potential right heer!

Oh man, a Crusader TC would be so cool.

reminds me of Crusader: No Remorse - classic game

This is pretty cool overall I like how it gives off a old isometric horror game feel to it. Even though I know it would be better if I said a Crusader feeling because That was the guy I saw at the start and it is similar to the game but with better controls.

thank you for your work

very interesting, it could motivate me to play Doom again

Can't wait to replay Diablo in Doom one day.

Godlike. This is awesome.

this looks great

this is really cool.

It's like a Remorseless Crusader

Awesome - Doom: No Remorse

I think I'm in love

Gone full circle and made Alien/Zombie Shooter prototype in GZDoom

What an achivement!

Baldur's Doom II : Demons of Amn

Can't wait for the Alien Shooter mod.

This is definitely reminds me of Doom: Fall of Mars

What mighty doom shouldve been

I played Crusader as a kid and it really stuck with me. I thought it would be amazing to get a remake in the style of The Ascent. I'm learning aseprite for pixel art and literally drew that dude last night. would love to learn how to make stuff in this format.

That is awesome Chris. There have been many tools made over the years to extract sprites directly from the shapes.flx file from the original crusader games. They are all shady executables hosted on strange sites. You can find some on echosector.com . Most recently, DasCandy pubilshed the source code to do the same : github.com/dascandy/cnr But you should start learning how to make simple maps for doom using tools like ultimate doom builder. It can be a lot of fun. My code can handle isometric sprites, though I didn't show many of them here, except for the starting room (and the silencer).

1:10 Schutzstaffel!

This is amazing! Please, try with Voxel Doom! This could turn Doom into a whole new game!

Crusader 🤤

Amazing, mouse support movement? Like Baldur's Gate or similar.

Almost like jupyter hell

I really hope someone can remake both Crusader games using the GZDoom engine one day. The originals are good, but have super clunky controls.

One could theoretically port og fallout games into that

hel yea

Wow! Great work, really. But is the camera turning by buttons? In my opinion it would be cool if you can press RMB and turning camera with mouse instead, it would be more smooth. Also need camera distance scrolling. Good luck with this

@dileepvr

16 күн бұрын

That's a pretty good idea. I'll look into how that could be done. Thanks. Distance scrolling is already in.

Whatever this project is looks really cool. I especially like the full 360 degree camera. Is there anything to set the camera? Like if I wanted to do a trick to look at a door? If there isn't a visibility cone for the player, would you think about adding it? Seeing it in action is fantastic. Better than I thought it would be and I thought it would be great.

@dileepvr

18 күн бұрын

Thanks! GZDoom allows you to spawn as many camera actors as you want. Switch views between them or show one camera's view in a corner of the screen. The fog of war only works up to subsector level. So while it is possible to add a visibility cone to the player, the changes will not be popular for the general case. You can code in a visibility cone for the AIs for gamplay if you want. It won't affect the renderer.

This is just a mod for Crusader for PS1 and PC

Brb doing all lf Baldurs Gate in this

I want Alien Shooter GZDoom!

Would be great if possible to change it dynamically in a line def or something

need a way to convert all items to inventory items (and of course an inventory screen) so it could be viable.

I suggest not rotating camera. A fixed viewing angle is simply more beautiful. If you allow the camera to change viewing angle in Fallout 2, then it will do nothing to the game.
