Shadow Of The Wool Ball - Doom Mod Madness

[@GentleHeretic]

Looks like a licensed title for some long forgotten Nickelodeon cartoon. I thought it was going to be another Sonic mod, but I actually think I'm in love with this idea. Scratchily drawn comic book when?

[@Cephalopod51]

Brilliant concept. A Wolfenstein 3D-styled Doom mod with cartoony graphics, more interactivity, more strategy, and more immersion. That cat boss especially seems inspired by the Sebastian boss from Rise of the Triad. Additionally, those screens which the villain taunts you also borrows from Dr. Proton's taunts from Duke Nukem 1. I love it when a modern mod for an old game like Doom combines the best aspects of old and new games for a fun experience.

[@Phynellius]

The whole escape sequence after starting the self destruct reminds me of descent

It's super cute and it puts a smile on my face. Love it.

[@GyroCoder]

I love this mod so much, it's so cute.

[@budderhimself]

The shotgun... it seems familiar... QUAKE IS THAT YOU!?

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

It is. Looks like whoever made this mod simply had the image of the Quake 1 shotgun and simply drew over it in MSPaint.

[@ThinBear4]

@@enricopaolocoronado2511 ...and it sounds like shotgun from Quake 2.

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

@@ThinBear4 Which sound? The gunfire sound or the pumping sound?

[@ThinBear4]

@@enricopaolocoronado2511 I think both. Pumping sound definitely comes from Quake 2, not sure about the gunfire, but it still seems like it. Might be the actual gunfire sound from Q2 slightly "beefed up".

[@dafoex]

@@ThinBear4 In the credits of the mod they fully acknowledge they took sounds from Quake 1 and 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't also use other Quake assets as a base.

[@jakescukobyte]

I love these kinds of mods for Doom. It doesn't have polish of Golden Souls, but it still has it's own very great thing going for it, so I am currently playing it through and adoring it to the fullest.

[@Shimamon27]

Now this mod is incredible! Love the style of it :D

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

That is the power............ of good level design and art style.

[@thorenthal6698]

Like one has already stated, the self-destruct escape sequence feels straight out of the first two Descent games! Also, I'm at least 98% positive that those shotgun noises are from Quake II, both the firing and pumping sounds. Of course, that doesn't make it a bad mod. These facts actually bring plenty of smiles! Speaking of Descent, I don't know if you do Doom 3 mods, but there's one called "Into Cerberon" that actually mods Doom 3's multiplayer to play exactly like a Descent game, with 6DoF movement, weapons, and everything you'd expect from a Descent-related project. Maybe you could have a go at it with a friend?

[@ICARUSLIV3S]

I'm a fan of the Descent games, i'd be lying if I said the escape sequence didn't remind me of it a little too. That Doom 3 mod actually sounds very cool, it'd be fun to compare it against the Descent revivals that are currently being made.

[@NeilDinsmore]

Surprised you never noticed that the weapons are semi-reskinned from Quake.

[@MCWaxMax]

I know the guy who made this mod personally and he implied that there might be a second episode

[@WatchDaToast]

Sssssssh! :D

[@ikagura]

Shadow Of The Wool Ball 2 : Hell on Earth?

[@MCWaxMax]

Icare​ Sounds good, but that's not the official title... we could consider making a bonus area named like that though :)

[@ikagura]

I just like putting that subtitle on every FPS sequel

[@GyroCoder]

MSPaintRocks is a cool person, go tell them I said so. :>

[@lunareclipse2401]

i always loved this wad's final boss; seeing a massive, hunchback catman wielding dual super-chainguns just.... works

[@Asterion608]

I would add something but your analisys already told what I think. I feel inclined to play this even if it's not on my alley, looks that good.

[@TerrorLTZ]

next time when i hear someone saying to another game "they used mspaint to make this game???" ill send them this mod cool mod

[@KingLich451]

Lol I love it, it looks very well made, great video Icarus.

[@metalslayer777]

2:12 Something like that was in Bloodshot/Battle Frenzy

[@CoolStory-]

This mod reminds me of Harmony, and independent game on Doom engine that got a Cacodemon award. It also can be played on your favorite sourceports, so give it a whirl if you want.

[@wazzzup2579]

Woolfenstein :)

[@icecold1805]

You are really fond of light-hearted mods such as this aint you?. You always seem to get really happy when reviewing them.

[@halfblindchaos2506]

The story reminds me of an old DOS game called Peaches Dream. That game Peaches boyfriend has been captured by the nightmares and has been taken to their castle. The base self-destruct sequence reminds me of the last level of episode 1 of Ultimate Simplicity by Agent Spork. Even though this mod takes a look back it also takes a look forward by including features like transparent breakable glass, dialogue, poly-object doors and other zdoom features. Thanks to you I would probably check this one out.

[@mr.caffeine9017]

Thx for sharing this one. I din't know about this mod yet. I played it after i saw this video. And it was pretty good.

[@der_Alptraum]

I had such fun with this mod. I wish there was more of it.

[@FaheemProductions]

This, PB, Brutal Wolfenstein, Blade of Agony, Dark7, Pirate Doom, Trailblazer, Demonsteele and Action Doom2 are my favorite Doom mods.

[@stormoninja7869]

The hedgehogs look like rigby from regular show.

[@tensaciszketsu864]

This shotgun reminds me of Quake. It looks almost like this one in Quake.

[@mirrorslash028]

One of the best mods iv played in a while

[@SwornHeresy]

Last time I came this early, I slept on the couch.

[@noahmarini6787]

Robert Shepherd, too far, too damn far.

[@TeppichPilot]

Hey Icarus, how about winters fury for a review? Still wondering why you haven't covered it yet :)

[@dominikschutz6300]

Pretty sure the boss is an admin: Don't mess with the admins, they have guns and beer! XD

[@JohnEdgarMir]

I really like your mod reviews :) , but i wanted to ask you... are you going to try Kyle873's Doom RPG Mod with DoomRL arsenal and monsters? It is absolutely great! :D

[@kyleraccoon6195]

They made sequel to this were you play as the girlfriend

[@catormw]

I saw this one the foruns but I never checked it out. But it look really nice!

[@mp18maschinepistole46]

It has got better scripting than half of doom mods

[@ikagura]

I like this cat.

[@hollow_w33n]

i can see some influence from quake judging from the weapons

[@CloudDavis0296]

it looks clean and smooth have you srg. mark 4 new lighting tech demo yet

[@ICARUSLIV3S]

I've seen it and it looks glorious.

[@corvettez06usa]

This feels a lot like an Apogee game.

[@h3llw4lk3r2]

Intro music?

[@RMJ1984]

Funny that this is a Doom mod, because its gives me a Wolfenstein 3D vibe.

[@Brodoomer]

When Rigby has his own iwad.

[@gabrielloko30000]

Wow...I stil try to makes sprites of a hedgehog to put on my mod..but...Well this mod proved it's possible to take this idea

[@AmericanRX]

I'll totally play this.

[@stormoninja7869]

Rigby?

[@ThePrayingMantis08]

I really doubt that these were made in ms paint, considering that you can't put transparency on images in ms paint. Then again, maybe the transparency was added when the file was put in the mod.

[@1310up]

If i remember transparency is managed by using a color on Doom (if i'm not wrong a really ugly pink)

[@Lordaddog2020]

You can put transparency in ms paint

[@ThePrayingMantis08]

Maddog2020 How?

[@1310up]

I clearly modded more things in Duke3D then doom ^^ The transparency is not managed by a color like in Duke3D but it was a convention to use cyan for transparency. zdoom.org/wiki/palette

[@Seekay37]

You can make certain colors transparent with Slade 3 by converting the image to png.

[@DyslexicAnaboko]

What are the coffee pots for?

[@HQ_Default]

1: I think the download site tried to put malware on my computer, but I did a full scan and I think I'm fine. 2: I'm not gonna say anything, but did you find the secret level of the first episode?

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

It reminds me of Bad Toys 3D

[@halfblindchaos2506]

Yah, it kind of does. Someone should make that into a TC for Zdoom. I would try to play it with higher res.

[@kyleraccoon6195]

I was loving this wad for the first two episodes... they were so good I played both them in one sitting... but the third episode is terrible.... there was not enough ammo was the reason.... I still have yet to beat the third episode without cheats... I only used cheats for ammo... but other than that I love this wad

[@GoodmansGhost]

Quite a lot of enemies can be taken out with the pistol in one shot so thats a great way to save ammo, never use the minigun except on bosses or the black clad enemies. Also dont be scared to waste some golden shells, they aint that rare really.

[@Xeotroid]

I've had this same problem with Strange Aeons. First two episodes were absolutely amazing and while I loved the design of the third episode (prehistoric Earth? Nice.), there was just not enough ammo. This, combined with another enemy that can revive itself after being killed (skeletons) made the third episode really frustrating and rage quit-inducing.

[@alfoxie]

Brutal Wool... anyone?

[@1jirkabarton]

I realy love your videos. So i tought i might recomend you my favorite wad. Its called Doom 2 Tower defense

[@spikydavi253]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[@RangeTeaGaming]

it'd be good if you could find a doom mod that is star trek based, icaruslives

[@apotato2716]

[@DaxKurzx]

is there a mod you found yet that isn't better with ketchup

[@thevdevitor]

That mod look soooooo cool >_

also weapons look quakie

[@spacetrainbaby3737]

This was made entirely in ms paint??? Damn the author is dedicated
