Dead.Air - Doom Mod Madness

"Listen to the sound they make!" -Keeps talking, doesn't raise game volume.

[@TheOneAndOnlySame]

I've basically made this comment on every single one of his videos. The man won't shut up, like never, even for 0.5 second ...

[@A-G-F-]

Trrristan even if you dont like that, thats good commentary

[@TheOneAndOnlySame]

That's not about the quality of the commentary... I like his vids BUT ! he speaks so much, he says "the-music is-very-cool-and-the-sound-design-really-solid-listen-to-these-scary-grunts-and-moans-and-that-ambiant-sound*cut to another part*the-action-on-this-mod-is[...]" wtf This gives a "millenial-talks-fast-loud-and-can't-shut-up-for-one-sec-or-I-could-lose-my-ADHD-riddled-audience's-attention" vibe to his vids that I regret... it's like the videos from that cunt Markiplier... old doom fans are not 13 yo...

[@XaserAcheron]

Author commentary: that last fight (the Grafters) is gonna get reworked. I'm sure folks have gotten their fill of stupid homing missile fights by now. :P -- also, super-thanks for the review!

[@namesurname624]

Am I the only one who likes the old part as it is? Also when is the sequel to dead.air? I really hope you are making it :P

[@TheRealNormanBates]

I think my only issue is that the missiles are too fast. If you could run as fast or a little faster, that would at least give you the ability to dodge. Also, if you towed the missiles back into the Cyber Demons, would it do damage to them, or are they immune to their own rockets? Is there an option to set monsters as vulnerable/invulnerable to the fire from other monsters?

[@crazyeyes8962]

Actually, yes, there is a flag that does exactly that in the DECORATE scripting language, which is the easiest way to make mods nowadays. I believe there's separate ones for invulnerable to self-damage and invulnerable to damage from monsters of the same type.

[@joeldube8746]

The homing missiles are perfect like that! You have to use the last gun to push you around with the recoil

[@noodles2459]

Is it still in prpduction

[@sabhotep5153]

'Yes, that is a horde of Cyberdemons; yes, those are homing rockers. Fuck that encounter in particular but everything else - golden!'

[@MegaRazorback]

"And then it DOES flip the bird at you with this final, FINAL encounter"

[@nonyabiz9487]

it was easy for me a ran around collecting stuff first and them cybers were fighting each other

[@Light_2461]

Homing rockers

[@RMJ1984]

These mobs should be a enemy pack for normal doom :D freaking love them.

[@pAWNproductionsDE]

personally i found the blue section to be the most interesting, and the red to be the hardest. that being said, that last section is seemingly impossible

[@Combine_Kegan]

This map was amazing. I actually went through on ultra violence and took the blue path first, I fell in love with the heavy nailgun and all of the weapons in general are satisfying as hell. With all that said, what the hell is up with that final segment with the cyberdemons. That's fucked up.

[@voratheexplorer6442]

Now if the fusion launcher could detonate the rockets prematurely, that last encounter would have been dope.

[@mysticalacer94]

Man Icarus you have presented so many mods before that i don't know if ANY person from the community could still play mods such as this one on gzdoom, while zandronum online seems to be crawling with servers mostly on AllOutWar, GhoulsForest etc. Such rare mods thanks to you, you have revived them! :) Haven't tried this mod yet but will see what i can do though i'm currently playing Guncaster... but damn that last level seems pretty unfair if you have pro balls to pass it! lol

[@DrakeWingGaming]

Yeah, seriously, fuck that last part...

[@TheRaptor77]

Can't enemies of the same type not hurt each other, except for the army guys?

[@joemanternach6784]

Adam Sandler and the Gas Chamber of Secrets that is correct, enemies are immune to their own kind. hitscan enemies (zombieman, shotgun guy, chaingunner) can hurt enemies of the same type

[@nagibrich1270]

your videos are the best

[@aeodkiller]

I've gotta say, this is really a face-heel-turn from your Zen Dynamics review. I haven't seen all of it (as to not spoil too much of this wad I haven't played yet), but I have to say you tackle difficulty in a much more tactful way (rather than repeating "bullshit" dozens of times, cheating and throwing objectivity down the window), despite the map showing even greater levels of difficulty than Zen. You also use the difficulty setting to your advantage, and the review seems much more comprehensive than the Zen one as well. Good job.

[@dhoffnun]

That last bit is some Devil Daggers type stuff.

[@rabbitmaskedman]

The weapons, environments, and enemy variations in this game look utterly stunning. wow

[@ookiemand]

Looks like a great polished mod! Love the themes, transitions, pacing too!

[@TheAxelay]

Incredible mod this! Surely 1 of 2017's best and it's just the start of the year too! Hopefully the death of ZDOOM won't affect the number mods we get this year!

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

Hey Mr Icarus, will you ever review Moonman Doom? Just a question, as you seem to get it requested a lot.

[@ICARUSLIV3S]

I'd never say never.

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

ICARUSLIV3S That sounds good. I think.

[@noname-in3hi]

+ICARUSLIV3S You kind of can't say never after playing Grezzo 2..

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

***** Moonman DOOM has quite a few custom weapons and three different classes, each different.

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

Petru Torlac I like his Moonlaser.

[@RockstarRacc00n]

Oh wow, that's the laser from Descent!

[@KashKey-]

That last part is such a fucking middle finger. How are you supposed to beat that shit? XD

[@GeneralTantzu]

Maybe try to guide those missiles toward the Cyber Demons, so they start infighting?

[@rosfell00]

Hmmm... I've tried it with revenant rockets without any results... Maybe this ones will work...

[@balanlopifelix9570]

the rockets don't change their elevation.so you need to zig zag from top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs to avoid them.

[@draco2023b]

KashKey look up doom mapping contest 2016, joel from vinesauce did it

[@mmkthecoolest]

During the cyberdemons battle, there should be a partial invisibility power up placed near the 'N'. This massively helps in avoiding the homing rockets.

[@Brightblade43]

For that last part, you gotta do a massive circle strafe around the outer perimeter of the room while constantly moving in and out towards the center so the homing missiles can't catch you.

[@mrdeathstroke4286]

hey ICARUSLIV3S this doom mod is really great ive passed in about 1 houre and its really challenging and its really creepy but i like it

[@demitheskullkid1001]

Hello ICARUSLIV3S

this mod is really great man i like it

[@aetherian5596]

ICARUSLIV3S HI ✋

[@halo1of1the1sun]

I made some changes to Unloved using this mode. I replaced some of the monsters with those of Dead Air. It works way better imo. I also made some changes to the weapons. Just replace the Doom iwad you are using with this www.moddb.com/addons/unloved-monster-mod#downloadsform

[@lorenrealname1326]

This looks miraculous. Is there a chance you'll be adding the screaming cacoballs?

[@LtDan-gt6vz]

That pistol makes the sound the lasers from Descent

[@SenyiKimmo]

What's really neat about dead.air is, as a .pk3, it technically *is* playable with a standard wad. And, heck, it's really fun as a weapons mod. Just make sure you type "give dedblaster" at the start of map01 so you have a weapon to begin with. I played it with Sunlust and it's really, really great. A decent challenge while still feeling powerful. That being said, the secret BFG encounter in Total Enclosure is bullshit due to the Antimatter Driver being, you know, explosive and not the standard BFG you can wade through crowds with. I'd suggest disabling autoaim and using the fusion mortar to wade through crowds instead. (this also helps the grenade launcher be useful) The Driver is also not a very useful weapon to fight the Mastermind with, mainly due to the fact that the deadair pk3 doesn't mod the mastermind to be susceptible to splash damage. The Shrapnel Cannon is the BANE of Arch-viles. Just get up in their grill, connect all the shards, GUARANTEED pain chance.

[@c4c4cr0773]

I found out the very end to be one of the easiest moment of the game. All you need to do is to diagonal run in circle around the pit and lure the missiles in the mayhem once in a while. You save the invincible orb to finish the last cyber mobs. The red instance was much more challenging as the first wave of monster from the end. (Ultra-Violence done)

[@ghoulbuster1]

this mod was for joel's doom wad contest!

[@tickleson8661]

I was amazed seeing this submitted

[@zippo71111]

That's where i first saw it as well. The 2016 wad contest is One of my favorite streams.

[@jean-lucmatusicky2498]

laser sound for the starter pistol is from decent

[@thewizard2390]

dead air is probably the coolest and first slaughter map i have played

[@nonyabiz9487]

i played this on the hardest setting and the red my god the red section will test your skills the most

[@CsyeCokTheSolly]

I remember this was in the Vargskelethor's 2016 competition.

[@em3r4ld63]

Descent laser xD

[@SAM_Vertigo1]

Em3r4ld They should add a quad lasers upgrade and homing missiles.

[@em3r4ld63]

I wonder if it goes up to level 4 or 6... :P

[@misty8616]

the fact that the creator of this wad is also the creator of the jokewad "Turbocharged ARCADE!".

[@AnnieC.1993]

Honestly that last encounter could be a lot worse. Just imagine if they had chainguns. Instant. Death.

[@Eiyaa90]

The final encounter makes Nuts look easy

[@RealEnerjak]

The last fight wouldn't be such a dick move if the rockets weren't homing.

[@yoshi314]

those enemy redesigns are on-point. i could use a separate enemy mod with those.

[@tubbiele2]

Great looking weapons. Original. Thanks for your work.

[@armetz]

Hey Icarus, I love your videos. Keep them going on !

[@DantesonofSparda85]

For the record those were the Annihilator variant of the Cyberdemon

[@scarface_deb]

Wow, it looked like a lot of fun

[@katherine2596]

[@JeanMarceaux]

Vinny also played it, was legit creeped out by the monster design.

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

I'll definitely have to check this out. I really liked the predecesor, Dead.Wire.

[@Lvkkie]

I like this mod/wad! Seems like the mod's creator probably is a Unreal Tournament fan.. I hear some familiar UT sound effects, like when you're changing weapons. I also see he made his own version of the Flak Cannon and put a different sprite on it. Would love to see like a Unreal or Unreal Tournament mod for Doom in the future. I know there are Doom mods for UT.

[@jefftheqc1416]

Lvkkie the sound sprites actually come from quake area especialy for the grenade launcher and the nailgun , for the rest i cant tell

[@Lvkkie]

Yes that's right, I also hear some Quake III Arena sounds. Indeed the grenade and the nailgun sounds.

[@stungunnotapplicable1953]

The laser pistol seems to be using sound effects from Descent, as well...

[@RMJ1984]

Those cacodemons, they are SCARY :O

[@bigbad75_YT]

What about the caco with two eyes from pirate doom.

[@ESCObeato]

Id like to see what all the enemies look like with googly eyes. That cacodemon looks so cool. The eyeless beak imps look pretty cool too.

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

Have you ever considered doing the Lizard squad mod? I haven't actually played it but you can pilot mechs and metal slugs, killing Barney from Half-life constantly, kind of worth the price of admission right there.

[@tylerking2233]

listen to the sound they make! (faint raaghing) BUT YEAH ITS HORRIFYING!

[@frederickred8416]

Wow that was really good

[@mrtomato5132]

at the end they should have put up some pillars that you can weave through to shield from the rockets

[@predabot__6778]

Actually, I think just not giving the cyberdemons f***ing homing-missiles, would have been enough.

[@bootblacking]

Uncle Jobel was here

[@SynthLizard8]

The Nailgun uses the Dark Forces repeater rifle sprite: gameunknown.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/darkforces-repeater.jpg That seems to be almost common in Doom mods.

[@Pwner-ng3rl]

PurpleStorm8 at least the author of this mod used parts of the repeater to make a much better looking gun

[@GuyOnAChair]

Incredible mod.

[@samson_]

not sure if i'm playing a fixed version (beta 2) but after a few tries i figured out that the cyberdemon rockets actually move slightly slower than your diagonal strafe speed, so if you SR40 the whole time and use mouselook to change direction, you can beat the fight without getting hit once.

[@tacovshotdog]

Hi ICARUSLIV3S, I have a couple of fun requests for a DMM episode... Hideous Destructor, and MetaDoom. Both play as pretty much the exact opposites of each other, though.

[@midge_gender_solek3314]

Lol, the nailgun sprite's sides are just 2 imperial repeaters from SW: Dark Forces

[@dalhar20]

this is a really cool wad

[@chrisclawson296]

Review complex doom. It has some really interesting weapon and demon mods. I've seen it streamed on twitch and it was really cool. I think it is relatively new if you haven't already heard of it.

where did you find that music background to the end of the video?

[@MegaRazorback]

late i know but that's his own music, he made it and currently has two albums on bandcamp.

[@c4c4cr0773]

About the color sections, I guess it's more a matter of type of doomer you are. I prefer arena with corners and places that you can consider safe. The blue areana was more in my style. The other arenas, specially the red one, are very open space and you end up with your back always exposed. But God! Those faceless pinkies are so uncanny!

[@Dracologist]

Annihilator sleepover!

[@singleproppilot]

Laser gun sound effects ripped from the first Descent game.

[@Dobolob576445678]

I think that grenade launcher is actually a mine launcher, notice how they drop, then remain and go off when an enemy gets near?

[@Klausinator451]

2:48 ARGHHHHHH! Damn it doom!

[@Pwner-ng3rl]

I just played the mod to tell you guys that the final upgrade for the pistol gives it a white color and kills a revenant in 4-5 shots

Xaser is the best Doom. Straferunning did the cybers for me; they're just not as fast as Complex anni homers. The blue arena's not so bad if you cowardize the snot out of it, but red slaughtered me with caco homers. Where are all these sprites and textures from?!

[@vermyntonic7297]

the ending to this mod is weird as hell

[@Ikazu-san]

You can't go complaining about grenade launchers range with autoaim enabled.

[@TeppichPilot]

Is this mod meant to be only one map or is just an early version? By the way, EP1 of Wolfendoom has been released, do you plan on revisiting?
