can i submit the freedoom monsters? was created by raymoohawk
right now we are overhauling the freedoom sprites, over at doomworld i asked if it was okay to bring them here and they said i could, so i was thinking if you guys thougt they would be of use here?

this is an example it was done by urric and edited by me

it replaces the cyberemon. the idea is that as the monsters are completed to bring them here

I just moved your thread into Workshop since it's not a submission.

No, the sprites don't have to be in Doom, Heretic or Hexen palette. They can have their own custom one. The important thing is that they have to be in 8-bit mode, i.e no true-color (there are exceptions, though).

Although, it'd be preferable if the sprites use a palette with colors similar to those found in the palette for the game the sprites are intended for, e.g you create a monster intended for Heretic, you base the sprites colors around the Heretic palette. This way, the colors would translate better when using the software renderer, which relies on the game's palette instead of the sprite's own.

Since it's your art and the rest of the Freedoom team doesn't have any problem with it, sure!

My concern would be how the monsters behave. My opinion is that it's OK if they function just like the monsters they replace, so they have consistent behavior. Others might prefer that the new monsters be a little different. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

I would rather they behave like the things they replace. It would not bu unreasonable to include variants that act differently though.

I don't have a problem with a simplified behavior as long as the sprite is somewhat interesting. In this case, that should be fine. :)

I would prefer the submission to bring something new to the table, but in an instance like this, I wouldn't mind. So long it's consistent.
