I made a more grisly version of RDND for fun; I added a bunch of gory death animations and really tried to keep in the feel of the original Doom. I reverted the Cacodemon back to it's original vanilla colour scheme as opposed to the Brutal Doom colour scheme. I added an XDeath and an alternate XDeath for the Cacodemon as well. I added some new death animations for the Shotgun Guy, Zombieman, Imp, Cacodemon, Demon, Baron of Hell, I could go on, but that's kinda pointless to me IMHO. Anyway, this is the first version. I made this mod entirely out of fun (like Gritty Doom) and unlike Gritty Doom, it doesn't suck. It's actually pretty fun, and it's really great with my other mod (pk_anim4) which I do plan on uploading sometime soon as an addon. It's really just Perkristian's weapons animations left untouched except the pistol animation is flipped and I added an slide going back animation. Subtle touch but extremely satisfying. Until then enjoy this mod, please spread this link and enjoy!^^

As I stated earlier, I really wanted gorier death animations without sacrificing the vanilla gameplay of the original. RDND was good, but I felt it could have been a bit gorier, so I made it a bit gorier and I reverted the Cacodemon back to it's original vanilla self. As well as adding in an XDeath (or extreme death) for it (and an alternate one so it's mirrored as well). It's pretty fun to basically gib Cacodemons and stuff.
I really wanted to keep within the vanilla aesthetics of Doom, so I added death animations that I felt would feel like Doom death animations. I didn't want to use any death animations that I felt didn't match the flow of gameplay or the overall aesthetic of Doom.
That's why I didn't use that many "Brutal Doom" death animations or "Project Brutality" death animations.
I tried to keep it down to a mininum. Overall I'm quite happy with my work. I made this as a side-project because I felt like doing it for fun, and I made it in one week with SLADE 3 and a bunch of free-time (spring break) and I listened to a lot of Morbid Angel and Slayer while working on this mod.
Was it worth it?
FUCK YEAH IT WAS! =D
So whatever you do.... give this mod a try. It's really fun. You'll probably enjoy it, and it's just fucking great. No seriously, it's great. Hands down it's one of the best Doom mods out there, if you are a purist and are hesitant about it, maybe soon a Doom Retro compatible version might come out, if someone is willing to code a version for Doom Retro. =P
Anyway, please enjoy the mod, share this link with your friends, make Youtube videos about this mod, share it, like it, stuff please! =D
So ENJOY THE RELEASE OF VERSION ONE POINT ZEROOOOOOOOOOO! =D

i have a problem with this mod. I don't know why, but, if i save while this mod is loaded in gzdoom, then take a break and come back again, when i tried to play the last saved game, it will not reload.. Very strange. I tried different versions of gzdoom and in every one happends the same. Doesn't happened with RDND. I usually load a map mod (ex. Vanguard), a hud mod (wwd64hud), an older version of beautiful Doom (v5.3, i think. Its separate in modules), PSXSFX (sound from console versions of Doom) and droplets. I really like this mod, love the different death animations. Are you addin a little smooth animation for the monsters while they are alive? Cos' sbrightmaps (red glowing eyes for monsters in darkness) fails to make it glow sometimes.
Really? Thanks man! I mean... I made this kind of as a more professional version of Gritty Doom. I haven't given up on Gritty Doom though... I still plan on refining it maybe, and putting in some new XDeaths. I just have to get around to modding Doom again. =P
Even making this SDND was pretty labor-intensive. =3
aww I didn't think gritty doom sucked!
