I ask cause I'm working on a mod for Classic Doom and one of the changes I made was make it so the damaging floors could hurt monsters so the possessed and any other smart enemy would try to avoid them

(unless they're a variant that has a hazmat suit on in which case they'll wade through it just fine)

Why does he look the .1% of germs that aren't killed by hand sanitizer

[lapis saffron]

@forest cave I started playing Doom 3, it's really good

@charred rover was wondering if the new episode you're adding to Doom 64 in Doom 64 definitive will have the Marine fighting on the Doom 3 universe's Mars in accordance to the theory that the Marine fought alongside the ancient martians in Doom 3 with the soul cube

[charred rover]

I forgot about that detail...guess the soul cube would work best between Dark Ages and 2016 lol

[forest cave]

If Doomguy is the Martian Hero then that stuff likely happened before TDA, actually.

The armor depicted in Doom 3's hieroglyph is the classic armor (though, of course, it's not like they could've foreseen the Slayer's armor) - more importantly, though, Doom 3 is in an alternate universe with a separate chronology from 2016, which makes it a lot less likely to be properly inserted into the Sentinel timeline.
A lot of this theory is contingent on the fact that it can explain the plothole of how Doomguy originally arrived to Argent D'Nur, when factually he could not have gotten there from Hell (because Hell couldn't freely create portals to other worlds yet). Under this idea, the Martians are rogue Sentinels who travelled to Doom 3's universe, then accidentally contacted the demons with their technology; Doomguy, in Hell, saw this and came to help them, then teleported to Sentinel Prime from Doom 3's Mars.

[charred rover]

Eh, guess no matter what, it's complicated as fuck to try and connect the main series to Doom 3 lol

[forest cave]

In 64 [Cacodemons] blatantly shoot fire
@lapis saffron Shit like this is why I still think 64 Cacodemons are actually Pain Elementals and vice versa. It's a neat little thing to explain stuff like this.

64's manual mentions heavy radiation on the site (though it's too vague to tell if this is from the UAC bombarding the place or if it's the Mother Demon), then says the Mother Demon revived dead demon tissue into living monsters, then mentions "the mutations are devastating" in regards to the demons.

[lapis saffron]

I subscribe to this headcanon too

[forest cave]

I like to think 64 Cacos are actually dead Pain Elementals, revived and having lost the ability to spawn Lost Souls but keeping the fire inside; while a 64 Pain Elemental is just two Cacodemon corpses mutated and melted together, spawning Lost Souls I guess through some weird fucking Essence mutation or something.

[charred rover]

I think they just wanted to switch them around for the game lol

My eventual mod is gonna have the Cacos looking more traditional, and swaping out the Pains with Brutal 64's Nightmare variant.

[forest cave]

They definitely did, 64's art style is intentionally way different. I just like to imagine an in-universe reason for it.

[charred rover]

The Caco sprite is from Craneo, though I believe they said the sprites are just a recompressed HD sprite lol

[forest cave]

That's nice spritework on the Cacodemon.

[charred rover]

I may try to make my own Pain Elemental sprites for the mod, too. Using the original Caco sprites as a base. I'm not great with sprite work, which is why I say try.
Would want to keep the mullet on them cuz it's funny lol

[vague orbit]

[dapper mason]

yah i like that caco, needs the rotations!

[limber geyser]

Well I like the possessed melee animations

[feral scarab]

I think the Bruiser would make for a really good connection with the Mancubus

Also, the horns and the head shape do make me question whether it has a closer relative with the classic Hell Knight

@forest cave any updates on your codexes for the classic games

[forest cave]

Not yet, sorry. Doom projects have been a bit on hold as I'm distracted by COMING HOME's development and also saving up to move somewhere.

[limber geyser]

Alright
