Aracnocide

Aracnocide is a mod for the GZDoom engine. Yes, the Doom community is as active as ever, kids!

It was my first mod and thus, stayed with me for a long time, always getting updated whenever i learned new tricks or invented new guns and enemies.

All enemies were replaced with different kinds of spiders, scorpions and wasps. Do you have aracnophobia? No problem! This mod can also be loaded with other monster mods. And you get to control 6 different guys and a girl, each one with a story and a load of guns to blast them with.

Initially the mod had no classes at all, but had a ton of weapons. The necessity for new classes came when i had a lot of ideas for new guns, new enemies, new items and couldn't just fit them in enough random spots (which also broke the game a lot), so i thought: What about new classes?

That's when i started to fiddle around with the lore, too. Each character has a passion for a certain kind of guns, a backstory and a reason to use them against such creatures, a proper weapon set which follows a theme and some attribute peculiarities

For example, Mikhail has more old fashioned world war weapons, being a soldier who was brought directly from world war 2 by a wormhole event. And others too!

The lore involves a future where a portal to an unknown dimension crawling with insectoids opened. What a cliché, huh? If you are interested, here goes the download link:
