Venturous + Touhou Doom | Doomworld Mega Project 2021: eltiolavara9 | No Failure Run
7Well, of course I was gonna mix it with Untitled's Touhou Doom. What else was I gonna mix it with?
Yeah, I've been having fun with this mod. I did encounter some pet peeves that I had to tamper around myself, like inconsistent anti-aliased edges, sound quality dissonance, the weird positioning on the Panzerschreck's blast shield, the completely aggravating muzzleflash placement on some of the weapons, and the lack of a themed fullscreen HUD, but after sorting most of them (still haven't fixed all the muzzleflash placements), I absolutely did had plenty of fun with the mod.
Of course, the natural conclusion then would be to cobble up a wirejammer so I can play other mapsets with this mod that's not at all intended to be a gameplay mod in the first place. Isn't modding wonderful? Bit of a tricky choice to make actually, as Venturous' enemies are a notch bigger than your usual Doom affair. Makes fighting them in tight maps tricky as they often get stuck.
As a result, while I sort through the archives for mapsets that'll play well with Venturous' regular bestiary, I might as well have a little bit of fun with ol' UTD. Goodness knows I haven't played with it in a while, always nice to have a break from all the tactical goofiness for some serious bullethell dodging.
The map itself isn't bad too, with some gimmicky bits that surprisingly fits a themed setup like this. Oh, right. Also used FreeDoom as the IWAD 'cause there's still some vanilla stuff left behind unreplaced. Helps to make it look more a bit more unfamiliar.
