Typhon 0.1b file

needs a lot of balancing and some hint on where you're supposed to go as it's confusing to navigate but the atmosphere is pretty spooky and a bit too dark and the shotgun feels weak

Yeah, seems like the lighting is the main problem.

Just finished the beta, took me so time as I wanted to explore rather then just rush to the end. Here my toughts so far in a non particolar order:
-As others already said it needs some work on balancing as depending on the RNG the difficulty can range from easy to nearly impossible.
-The darkness was not really an issue for me but again just due to RNG luck I find a few night vision goggles, so I never had to fight in the dark in an unknown area and by the time the goggles run out I had already cleared and mapped the area in the automap, probably some sort of flashlight, even a Doom 3 like flashlight, would be fine.
-I ended up using Zandronum 3.1 for the first completed run, as in gzdoom the audio dialogues + some other audio (as you also stated in the description) do not work, but I think that a mod like this that targets a single player experience should be at least be compatible with gzdoom, also because I think Zandronum 3.1 as the same decorate features as gzdoom 1.8, which is now almost 8 years old, so Zandronum it's missing probably half the stuff that can be done in gzdoom, so the more you develop the mod the more you may find it a bit limited. Other issue I had with Zandronum are: runs way worse then gzdoom (this is probably due to the fact that I'm running the Linux version which I've read have some performance issue with opengl), make it work right my 21:9 aspect ratio was a bit of a pain (had to force -width 2560 -height 1080 trough my launcher and force "16:9" ratio in the video option, otherwise everything was stretched, this way it was ok but something was still of, still not unplayable but not as good as gzdoom), the inventory with the standard HUD was graphically bugged, the items where displayed outside the inventory slots (this was not an issue as played with the alternative one, with secrets/monsters/items number disabled), on gzdoom was fine also with the standard HUD, I could not bind my 4th mouse button to the next inventory item, while with gzdoom the only issue I had was the some audio were not playing.
-The knife should have the "+NoAlert" flag, as it make no sense that I swing it in the air and I get jumped by all the monster in the area, also if it was silent it would be more useful to save ammo as I could take out weaker enemies like pinkies or normal imp without alerting everyone else.
-There is a missing doortrack texture on the side right of a door, I thinks it's the one that give you access to the ventilation tunnels
-Another problem it's that while the environment is good and feels right for a survival game, the shooting and enemies feels like a normal doom mod, with the difference that I don't have enough ammo to deal with them, and the areas are ususally to thight to allow to dodge, I think that It's fine that the enemies feels more tanky, but you should probably upper their pain chance a bit and make a longer, custom pain animation that stun them for a few moments, like just enough time to run past them without getting damaged.
-The granades should bounce a bit less, right now it's really hard to use them.
-The red glow on interactible panel totally disappear if the night vision goggles are active.
-Gadjet like the night vision and radition suite should be toggleble on/off and be usable until completely consumed and not a one-time activation on a timer, like how the night vision goggles and protective boots works in Duke Nukem 3D, this way they can be used for small period of time without having to worry about "wasting" them.
-Consider repacking the mod in a .pk3 format, that way you can use folders and it's not everything in one big list and you don't have to worry about lumps markers, and also given that .pk3 it's just a .zip file with a different extension you get also a smaller file for the same content.

Overall I think it's a cool mod with a lot of potential but it needs some polishing and rebalancing, also as other pointed out the navigation it's a bit confusing, for example some locked door if you interact with them do nothing while other will hint that are locked, this will lead the player to think that the non interactible door are "fake" doors, while in a few instances they were just locked. Now I'll probably replay the mod with gzdoom, as I don't need to hear the dialogues, and speaking of dialogues, a trascript of the dialogue would be useful, like all text message I could open up the console and read them, but the audio they just play once and are gone forever and if you don't listen or miss something you may miss the hint to where you need to go / do.

PS:Sorry for the textwall, I'm really bad at summerize thing so I've reached the char comment limits lol, so I removed everything that is a potential "spoiler" and I will send you a PM, with some screenshot about a few other problems
