I'm glad you've enjoyed Space Hunter so much, Icarus. You've done a fine job of covering it here, and you actually gave me an idea or two for a future update. Also the hooded guys are Nazrobes, Nazi Wizzrobes.
Maybe i'm too late for the celebrity-commenting but this is Captain J, weapon spriter of the Space Hunter here! This mod used to have vanilla-styled weapon sprites and i felt this mod needed some more 8 bit touches. Once i finished the 8 bit version of the gun sprite, it was nicely accepted and included to the mod along with extra-zelda weapons. Yeah, Kegan really outdone with this mod and i'm so glad i could help his project!
check out Spram's Metroid Mod. it is basically a mod that turns Doom into a combination of Metroid Prime and Zero Mission. it has a HUGE map of Zebes that takes 3+ hours to beat, boss battles, suit and beam upgrades, and many other things. All that you need is a TNT Evilution wad file, and to make a .bat file to run it by creating a text document, then typing this in: *gzdoom -file Met.wad -file Met_maps_fancy.wad -deh Metroid.deh -iwad TNT.WAD* save it as whatever you want to name it, and be sure to name it .bat at the end (example being "Doomtroid.bat") then prepare for Metroid goodness! link to the mod database page: www.moddb.com/downloads/sprams-metroid-doom
I basically have 4chan's /vr/doom thread constantly open in my browser, and Combine Kegan among with many other modders frequents that thread with their wip stuff to get immediate feedback. You can pretty much witness the mod development in real tim there, which is what happened with Space Hunter.
Return to Saturn X is a superbly adaptable map pack that seems to work great with a variety of gameplay mods. I dd a full run through it with Project Brutality Guncaster, and it was hard as balls but entirely completeable. Also, I'm pretty sure that wand is a throwback from The Legend of Zelda.
The Rocketlauncher becomes a wrecking machine when you get the powerup for it and space yourself correctly. Then the BFG is replaced with a screwball attack which is fun to use.
PillowBlaster Clearly thinking of Kevin Keegan "I would love it if we beat them". Sorry Pillow if you're American, Keegan was a famous footballer(soccer) turned manager.
I'd like to point out that the Magic Wand you get is from The Legend of Zelda, Zelda Bombs, the Blue Candle, and I believe that it even uses the Wizzrobe magic sound effect.
... Holy shit. This is like, actually a dream come true for me. I've always wanted a good first-person Metroid that isn't like Prime. Dreadnaught isn't really that great to me, either.
Hey, Icarus I found a mod you might like. It's called CUSTOM GUN: THE GUN-ENING. Basically random weapon stats and upgrades but it's really well done! Anyhow, keep up the great work!
Hey Icarus, you should try LegenDoom. It takes the Legendary system from Fallout 4, and put it into doom. Which makes it really good. Plus, there's a lot of options for the mod and is compatible with Colourful Hell. That mod has it's own menu within LegenDoom. You have to try it. On a Side note, Zandronum is incompatible with LegenDoom. You must use GZDoom (Possibly latest build) or regular ZDoom.
Do you know if any of the Doom Launcher software like ZDL supports saving keybinds so you can quickly switch between setups? Like if you're moving from Brutal Doom to D4D you don't need Reload or offend, but you will need grenade and shop. I'd try out a lot more of the super cool mods you showcase if I didn't have to manually faff with keybinds all the time.
I am guessing that the secret Wand Weapon is a hint for Combine Keegan's next mod, that being a Legend of Zelda styled mod. From how the wand acts and looks it looks like it will be just as good as Space Hunter. Just a guess though.
Interesting yet unmetioned is the wand easter egg being a Zelda reference, and more importantly in normal Doom 2 the enemy that drops it shows up in the secret levels, as expected of an easter-egg enemy.
I am definitely looking forward to it. GMOTA is still one of my favorite mods. Not to take away from Space Hunter, it's been hella fun with Ancient Aliens.
buh...i lost all my saves when my computer bit the dust...i got all my mods back, but i got a lot of progress on my community chest run to make up before i can try this...
Cool. Music For This Mod? I would have Gone with ""Family Jules 7X"" and his Guitar Versions of the Old NES Game Music. Dudes Amazing. Hes on UA-cam if you want to check him out. Sargon Used one of his Street Fighter Themes for some of his video Closings. Good Stuff.
Out of the 3 games that have a Metroid mod (Doom has two) This one is just fantastic even though you can't combine your beams since, well, it's based off Metroid for the NES which forces you to repeatedly pick up the beams instead of you being able to switch them.
I'm glad you've enjoyed Space Hunter so much, Icarus. You've done a fine job of covering it here, and you actually gave me an idea or two for a future update. Also the hooded guys are Nazrobes, Nazi Wizzrobes.
Nazi, Wizzrobes. The mere fact you included Wizzrobes makes me happy already, but you made them Nazis? That's beautiful.
Wizzrobes!? From Zelda 1!? >:l
i can't get your mod to run dude! it says weapon bobstyle. is an unknown actor property
Oh dear, you might need to update your source port. Try grabbing a newer version of GZDoom or Zandronum.
Excellent work, as always. And glad i can help even more! 8 bit, real-life bit or whatever!

Thank you for your efforts, the mod is awesome!
Yes, but when will we get an actual metroidvania level pack?
Both for this and Metroid Dreadnaught, bonus points if its actually designed for use with both.
Arkouda Chien *shameless plug* you could see a full TC for Metroid Dreadnought in time... just saying hint hint
Closest things to that I could think of are Strife: Quest for the Sigil and Daedalus: Alien Defense

If you look at the bomb at 0:57 you will see that it is actually ball-morphed Doomguy.

Really? I gotta visit 4chan someday then!
I'm glad there is someone out there putting the best that the Doom modding community has to offer for everyone else to see, keep up the good work man.
3:20 hearing that lufia 2 cave theme makes me love you so much more man!
Kegan makes good stuff. Glad to see this got covered so fast, ahah.
Icarus is a cool guy. At least, so the rumors say.
6:36 it's the magic wand from the first LEGEND OF ZELDA game, complete with sound FX.
The Doom modding community never ceases to amaze me.
I love the NES Metroid style frags where it splits the sprite into segments and rotates those segments really fast.
Hell yeah. I was hoping for another DOOM mod video soon. Great vid man
who would deny this mod is so beautiful!? amazing job, Kegan and thanks for the video, icarus

YES!!! A PROPER DOOM-METROID-FUSION!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!
Now i want that death animation by itself so i can use it with every mod.
The UI of this mod is a pain in the arse to read. Making your mod look as arcade as possible isn't always the best choice.
It's appropriate that he sounds like he's wearing Samus' helmet.
Kegan* Great**.
Looks like you need to lay off the tea while writing descriptions. :P
PillowBlaster Clearly thinking of Kevin Keegan "I would love it if we beat them". Sorry Pillow if you're American, Keegan was a famous footballer(soccer) turned manager.
The Riptide Raptor ikr
I am actually European (Polish to be exact) and wouldn't know a dime about that guy, whoops. Not enough football in my bloodstream I guess.
PillowBlaster That's cool lol Excuse my ignorance, really enjoy your work. 😀😀
Is that... The god... ITS PILLOW BLASTER RUN RUNNNN BEFORE WE GET NUKED WITH SUPER NUCLEAR BOMBS AHHHHHHH
"This great big whackoff cannon." Greatest line 2017.
Nice combination of Doom, Metroid, and even Heretic
That Metroid styled explosion death is insane and easily whoops the NashGore's ass.
Mmmmmm that sweet 8-bit Metroid!
So many awesome Doom mods, so little time!
I love how the demons explode in this mod xD
What a fascinating looking mod, I'll have to give it a try.
This looks really fun! I prefer it over Metroid Dreadnought.
"Whack off cannon"
Take a shot every time Icarus says "particular."
Huh... I know the music in the first level... it’s from an SNES game called Treasure of the Rudras. Nice Touch.
I'd like to point out that the Magic Wand you get is from The Legend of Zelda, Zelda Bombs, the Blue Candle, and I believe that it even uses the Wizzrobe magic sound effect.
Options>gameplay options>allow jump>yes. In your face, wad that would keep me from jumping!
but does doom guy show off his trunks at the end?
you can actually enable jumping and crouching for any wad in the gameplay settings if I remember correctly
... Holy shit.
This is like, actually a dream come true for me. I've always wanted a good first-person Metroid that isn't like Prime. Dreadnaught isn't really that great to me, either.
ICARUSLIV3S, you're a beautiful person for showing off such mods.
You know what would be lit? Making a Non-Linear map like Metroid Prime. Then add the Space Jump and the Screw Attack.
I'd like to see some in-depth examinations of map packs.
Hey, Icarus I found a mod you might like. It's called CUSTOM GUN: THE GUN-ENING. Basically random weapon stats and upgrades but it's really well done! Anyhow, keep up the great work!
great video. I gotta look into that mod.
I know what I'm doing tonight!
You know, Im surprised no one has tried to recreate Metroid in Doom. Basically making an FPS remake of metroid
Hey Icarus, you should try LegenDoom. It takes the Legendary system from Fallout 4, and put it into doom. Which makes it really good. Plus, there's a lot of options for the mod and is compatible with Colourful Hell. That mod has it's own menu within LegenDoom. You have to try it. On a Side note, Zandronum is incompatible with LegenDoom. You must use GZDoom (Possibly latest build) or regular ZDoom.
Feels like you don't know that the Wand is from Zelda
these death animations are much better than gore from brutal doom
Do you know if any of the Doom Launcher software like ZDL supports saving keybinds so you can quickly switch between setups? Like if you're moving from Brutal Doom to D4D you don't need Reload or offend, but you will need grenade and shop.

Death Foretold.
I will not stop.
Interesting yet unmetioned is the wand easter egg being a Zelda reference, and more importantly in normal Doom 2 the enemy that drops it shows up in the secret levels, as expected of an easter-egg enemy.
My biggest issue is the moving animatiion for the gun :P
Eissen Dargwell for me is the color of the gun :/
I mean just add the classic green arm canon and this will be perfection :)
Easy way to fix jumping is to go to the gameplay menu in options and enable jumping, or input a console command.
Interesting use of those Legend of Zelda sprites.
This mod is NES Metroid in Doom. Done well though.
Is the Spazer Beam (Shoots 3 beams at once) in this mod? I've seen that a couple times along with single shots other than 3.
Yep, it replaces the berserk, only lasts for the duration of the stage you found it in though.
I'm a Space Hunter! I hunt Space!
the thumbnail on this video made me think it was a side scrolling metroid doom mod... oh well.
The mods Icarus mentions in the beginning, combined arms and something else... does he have a mod madness vid on the latter?
GMOTA and yes, Icarus did do a video on that and said it was one of the best melee-oriented Doom Mods out there alongside Demonsteele.
I've always wondered what is the intro song
Are there any Doom Mods that have the same gameplay feel as hotline miami?
Try Action Doom
I want to see a Doom mod inspired by the classic Midway Arcade game "Wizard of Worr" (I believe that's how it was called).
Someone needs to do a Cave Story mod for Doom. I feel both games may fit well together.
This is great! Maybe Kegan can get back on GMOTA now. >.>
Actually I picked up GMOTA's development again about a day after uploading Space Hunter. Expect more stuff in the future.
I am definitely looking forward to it. GMOTA is still one of my favorite mods. Not to take away from Space Hunter, it's been hella fun with Ancient Aliens.
Need Metroid-level design.
I KNEW IT
what's the longbeam powerup do?
buh...i lost all my saves when my computer bit the dust...i got all my mods back, but i got a lot of progress on my community chest run to make up before i can try this...
"But we'll get to that in Jew time."
The magic want is from Legand of Zelda - NES. It's two modes of attack are normal and with the book powerup (fire) both related to the Zelda game.
Cool. Music For This Mod? I would have Gone with ""Family Jules 7X"" and his Guitar Versions of the Old NES Game Music. Dudes Amazing. Hes on UA-cam if you want to check him out. Sargon Used one of his Street Fighter Themes for some of his video Closings. Good Stuff.
Does Doomguy appears Half-Naked after you beat the game like in Metroid?
does it work with zandorum?
Yes it does. You'll need to get Zandy 3.0, but it does work.
Combine_Kegan yea I got it working thx
i heard lufia 2 ost... huh
Back to Saturn X with mods? Heresy!
I feel mislead by the thumbnail
D4T.
I want to see more map packs I don't use many gameplay mods besides Project Brutality.
Out of the 3 games that have a Metroid mod (Doom has two) This one is just fantastic even though you can't combine your beams since, well, it's based off Metroid for the NES which forces you to repeatedly pick up the beams instead of you being able to switch them.
Hmm, they used the cave music from lufia 2... interesting
Half life doom, why not
There is one already.
Doomguy does what Nintendon't
Don't play this MOD if you have epilepsy.
Notification Squadd !
I've Seen this wand before...
