September development update
Hi everyone,
Time again for a new update! I've completed ALL the rooms used for level generation! That's 1433 handcrafted rooms, each one with a point of interest. I've also gone back through chapter 1 and 2 and improved a ton of rooms so that their quality is closer to what's going to be in Chapter 3. All weapons now have sounds too, so weapons are completely done! That's 80 weapons, 174 fire modes and 30 different stats to make them unique.
Now I'm working on enemy sounds and will soon start working on completing world 7 and 8 of the minigame.
Once again, here's a look at what's completed and what needs to be done. Remember that this is only a very rough view of everything. Careful, the image below contains spoilers! Highlight the black bar to show.

Did you miss Realms Deep 2021? Nightmare Reaper had a small trailer about the weapons. Check it out!

A tutorial video on how to do sprites right in retro FPS games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOKn6oDu38s
A fun mental exercise:
Nightmare Reaper's QUAD shotgun can have the "+2 attack" stat, which gives it 12 barrels. With the reflection powerup that's 24 barrels. A shot from that shoots 312 buckshot projectiles at a time.
