Wow, you guys got John Romero to advertise for you? As a "surprise?" Does that mean he agreed to do this beforehand?
We contacted him couple of weeks prior to release and he proposed he'll tweet about it in the release day (if we'll remind him), and so he did.
He also appreciated ----------spoiler-------------- his special Easter Egg in BoA Chapter 3.

I think he was talking about it before, when the previous episodes were released as well. and why not, if it's an awesome mod.
Yes, he did tweet about BoA previous release as well, he called it one of the best Doom mods ever.
We need some more art help for next versions of "Blade of Agony" - rotations of Keen, especially "Keen on Pogo Stick" rotations (those are first priority).
Anyone for the task?

wait.. you're planning to make it third person?
....not exactly
I'm sure your second guess will get it right
count me in!
Thanks! We can always count on this community for help Not a small task though, at least for full Keen rotations, as he has alot of frames. But should be totally worth it
If you need sub-priorities - it's Keen back rotation for 3rd person view of GZDoom. Back rotation on Keen standing, walking, shooting, climbing, swimming etc.

whew... have we already started? wasn't aware that things are outlined already. so you are mainly looking for a 3rd person view. which parts of the body should be visible? only the head, the head plus the upper torso, the whole body? and by rotations you mean like the view from rear and maybe a shoulder turn? or do we need like a full 360° rotation? So I think I need some more details first. maybe you can share an example image from another game which shows your overall goals.
I mean, the standard Keen set comes with round about 80 animation sprites for Keens movements alone. this will cause quite some work to do all of them in full rotation mode. so I'd like to make sure what you are aiming for to work as efficient as possible
Regarding the full set, Ozymandias might be able to prepare a sprite sheet in short. We do not need the full original set with rotations but only the missing and needed ones in Blade of Agony, and there also only 3 or less additional rotations.
So here I am finally, and these are the missing rotations, just adopt same formula of previous work done for other Keen creatures and that's it. Hope it helps
