Wrath has an inventory of consumable items like heretic/hexen/duke/etc. rather than cycle, like with [,] (which is the default for those games), wrath has a 1-click menu (press+hold key, move mouse to select item, then release key). it's faster and more intuitive then cycling items.
It's the least disruptive way to have such an inventory IMO. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/prodeus/prodeus
[09:13] Shambler: So Prodeus [09:13] Shambler: does look promising [09:13] Shambler: sorta D4 "demake" [09:13] Shambler: but [09:13] Vondur: good stuff that it's customiseable [09:13] Vondur: so u can disable those evil pixels bler [09:13] Shambler: On top of that, our splatter tech literally allows the player to paint the entire level red with the enemy's blood. this is not a sales pitch [09:15] Shambler: and at the moment it looks a bit too much like a D4 demake, i.e. D4 action with a bit of D3 claustrophicness and a bit of D1 crudeness [09:15] Shambler: i think it would be worth trying to tweak the art style and theme a bit to give it a stronger identity of it's own [09:15] Shambler: unless it's a blatant ploy to grab the attention of the old doom scene specifically [09:16] Vondur: yea, needs more variety/settings [09:16] Shambler: other than that, definitely promising Looks a bit too far along to be able to do much to give it a unique art style. I agree it looks like a weird "mash up" of elements from Classic Doom, Doom 3 and Doom 4.
It's a bit like those Beatles tribute pub bands that wear the Sgt. Pepper uniforms, yet play nothing from after 1966. It only cost you two quid to get in, and after a few sherbets you'll have a bit of a dance to "I Want To Hold Your Hand", but a quick glance round at the clientele - some visibly drunk middle-aged women on an "office do", and a smattering of students who quite honestly don't care where are as long as they can get a drink past midnight, deep down you know there's possibly other places you should be on a Saturday night. Mike and Jason have each worked in the game industry for over 10 years and contributed to many projects including [...] Doom 2016, [...] and more.
Well, they're just following the style they're most familiar with. Art direction isn't as easy as it seems, sometimes it's better to play safe. ...would be cool as a rhythm shooter. As it is now - would get repetitious pretty quickly.
Ludum Dare games are meant to be boring anyway. It's nearly impossible to make a non-repetitive game in 2 days.
Memoirs of Magic looks fun.
