I guess it's a quality problem, but still a valid one, since it's designed for use with Doom and not specifically Doom 64. Probably the gradients and custom palette are giving it too much of a rendered look. I'll see what I can do, but admittedly, I'm not great at matching particular styles. But that's OK, since I kind of want to reattempt it anyways. > Blue Shadow wrote: As for the blast effect, it could stand to be more obvious/visible, I think. I made them bright (they weren't before) and removed the alpha value (so they're now effectively 1.0). I think it's an improvement.

I find the original one to be better... Maybe it's better to stick with the original, and to make it less Doom 64-ish, inverting the pentagram upside down could help, because as it stands, the sprite has some resemblance to the general look of the [ Demon Keys](http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Demon_Key) from Doom 64. And to improve on the look, the edges of the pentagram could do with being... what's the word... sharp, pointy? instead of being rounded.

EDIT: Updated "credits" portion of OP since the submission includes some modified versions of Raven's sprites for the visible blast effect on monsters. Submission contents will be updated accordingly. EDIT 2: Recolored the blast effect sprites, and changed their blending mode. (Old mode is commented out but not deleted.) Updated CREDITS lump to match OP credits info. EDIT 3: Compressed and modified sound. Sprites updated. Not "done" yet. EDIT 4: All sprites converted and compressed.")* Dont know if a gif will animate on here but as a suggestion or an idea to help it fit with the doom vibe, maybe make it an orb perhaps?

It emits a blast wave on use that pushes away nearby enemies, and repels projectiles. Preview: Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo9win4qxfm38hu/pentacleofprojection.zip?dl=0 This is a pretty basic item that replicates the function of the Disc of Repulsion, but in a Doom environment. The name is a play off of Quake's Pentagram of Protection. I've been wanting one of these for a while--not just because it's useful on its own merits, but also to hopefully counteract some of the community vitriol towards the Vore and its unique homing projectile that a lot of people seem to have trouble dealing with. :P (Can't dodge it? Reflect it!) I'd like feedback on whether the sprite "works" or not in terms of style. (The sprite is a bit larger than it's displayed in-game, since a pentagram/pentacle shape just doesn't read well when it's too small.) Also, on whether the "blast effect" is acceptable, or how to improve it.

Do you have a non-GIF version? I was trying to avoid the orb approach, since they're designed to be common consumables (and orb items tend to be highly powerful), but if I can't come up with anything better, then an orb could definitely work.
