General Description
Doom : The Golden Souls is a groundbreaking hub-based mod, heavily influenced by one of the greatest games of all time: Super Mario 64.
To progress through the game, you must collect "Golden Souls" in order to unlock doors in the main hub, a big mansion. You can access any level through the paintings on the walls.
In order to explore every single part of a level, you may even need to backtrack in an older painting, after finding an important item.
The Gameplay
This mod has got alot of different gameplay styles: You may have to simply reach the golden soul in a level, while in another you'll have to rush through an Athletic level, avoiding obstacles and such, you may have to help some NPCs in order to reach your goal, or even collect 8 red coins to get the Soul.
The Weapons
Revolver

Your starting weapon, it has to reload after 6 shots (or you can reload manually after firing some shots)
Over and Under Shotgun

Your main shotgun, a good ol' break action gun!
It's really accurate (Based on real life shotguns, not videogame shotguns) but it has to reload after 2 shots (or you can reload manually).
Really powerful,but not really good agaist a large group of enemies.
The items

-Basic coin: Collect as many coins you can! They might be useful to buy portable medkits and refill ammo, or you might need them for some level based events.

- Big Coin: These coins are harder to find, usually you can find 3 of them hidden in a level. They are used to unlock secret rooms of the mansion

- Golden Soul : The main object of the game, you need to collect souls to unlock the mansion's doors and continue the game.

I seem to be the only one who thinks that the mix of Doom in a Mario world does not work in the slightest. Because it doesn't. Keep the art style purely Doom-style or purely Mario-style, because mixing them is... bleh.
edit: oh yeah and you can bet your ass someone will make a Samsara compatibility patch for this :V

Not quite sure, it's meant to be a singleplayer experience. It might work, but some scripts might break
EDIT: Second level texture test, Map02 will be called "Vanilla Hills", and you'll have to collect 8 red coins to find the Golden Soul

-Includes 3 Maps (1 of these is a secret map)
The third level is a secret, i haven't posted a single screenshot about it, so you'll have to discover it!
Just one thing, it's hard, really hard, but it's not impossible, so go for it!
I'll write the credits later
