This originally came from James Ingham and Zach Higgins so give them thanks for starting this old yet unfinished idea.
If you look at their
Project Vertilgung sprites on Chaosedit, you will see some unused sprites since it was originally planned as a 60 level mod and ended up as a 20 level demo. Among them is an unfinished set of what appears to be a 8- sided directional version of the Flamethrower SS enemy.
Well, it's about time this idea comes to fruition after all these years. I will finish making the rest of those sprites. I've already made face changes to the "standing-still" set of the Flamethrower SS (the first 8 sprites) since the set James Ingham and Zach Higgins made does not match with what they were going to make with the "walking" set (facemask AND non facemask).
Instead of what you see above, this upcoming set will look like this which is the face change I made:
The first 14 out of 49 sprites are already done thanks to Zach Higgins and James Ingham.
UPDATE: I just finished making 11 of the new sprites. So basically it's halfway done. It should be completed and released in the next day or two as this is taking A LOT less time than I originally anticipated.
