I'll be brutally honest, I enjoy this a lot more than any EDuke32 mod made, even War of Attrition.
Most excellent job, just played it for about 3 hours or so straight, so much fun that I couldn't believe it, all I wanted to do is "try" it and instead of that I'm just enjoying it too much that I'm progressing through a wad I thought was "average".
I especially love the ability to switch between Duke or Doom monsters, and it can be between 0 to 100%, it's an amazingly well done idea.
I only have one question, but I do hope it isn't bothersome...Will there be any plans for some kind of optional "War of Attrition" type of gameplay?
The basics of "War of Attrition" is that, your weapons level up the more you use them, getting some cool unique perks, like the pistol being able to pierce and cause bleeding shots or the shotgun gaining accuracy and more shell count.
It's not just weapons that level up, but your enemies, they'll become harder and harder, some may even be replaced by mini-bosses.
It's a huge task I'm sure, and I'm not sure if it will be worth it, since I myself can live without it, like I said I find DN3Doom much more fun than "War of Attrition".
Thanks for the kind words. That's an interesting concept, I remember War of Attrition being so much fun. But you are right, it is a huge task. To answer your question, there are no plans for such a feature at the moment, but that doesn't mean it won't be added in the future.
Do you have any plans for maps?
Not in the short term, I've not made a single map ever, so I don't know how that works yet.
