Hi all,
My #Doom mod, where you look after an old needy cat called 'Tigerbun', has a very early release.

Would appreciate some feedback for those who work with #gzdoom or play #Doom mods.

Progress update on my Doom mod about living with my cat Tigerbun. It was a throwaway learning project, now turning into something.
'oh lawd he comin'
Trying to stick to the pixelated photo aesthetic, think Rise of the Triad. I should document my 'art' process :)

I am learning gzDoom by making a 'game' about living with my cat - Tigerbun. Current status: cat wants pets, cat eats and sleeps. As a player, provide pets and refills of the food bowl.
I have just added a walk cycle, extracted from a video. My goal is to use real images in this mod #gamedev

Updates on my Doom Mod featuring my cat (Tigerbun). You can now see his needs, pet & feed him, also he runs out of food.
Been having a blast just playing around with gzDoom and making something fairly throwaway. Will it be a game or just a little experience? Not sure yet. I am too busy having fun.

I have been playing around with gzDoom, it has been a bunch of fun (and super quick) to make things.
Moved from learning to making a game - In my Doom mod, you can and will pet the cat!
I am using images of my cat (his name is Tigerbun) and my arms as sprites in this test.

This place is so much nicer than the hellscape site formally known as Twitter.
My name is Brian McDonald, Head of Games at Falmouth Uni. I run the Design and Arts parts of the Department. I am interested in Game Education and Game Jams.
Oh and here is a picture of my cat - Tigerbun!
