New Medium

New Medium is a mod designed to completely overhaul the game on an almost fundamental level; altering the game's balance by completely redoing the guns from scratch, tweaking the enemies, and redesigning the bosses, as well as sliding in some quality of life improvements here and there -- all to create a more engaging (and, ultimately, more fun) experience.

To this end, nearly every aspect of the game has been changed in some capacity...


Redone weapons: As stated, the guns have been completely redone. On the surface, they may look the same, but under the hood, the entire arsenal was redone from the ground up, resulting in slight changes such as the USP having slight bullet spread, to more drastic ones such as the MP5 losing accuracy from sustained fire and the Garand's improved scope. Not to mention, lots of things can be swap-cancelled, allowing for more flexibility and creativity in painting rooms red. Oh, and the knife is usable across all difficulties now, too, if you care about that sort of thing.

Dynamic Duo: One of the main goals of the mod was to 'unify' Ikuro and the Girl. The weapons behave roughly the same between them, with the key differences being how the two characters handle them; mainly in reload speed and bullet spread -- Ikuro operates his guns more stably at the cost of reloading slower, while the Girl handles them much faster but suffers from less accuracy. The Girl still runs faster and jumps higher though, don't worry.

Improved enemies: The vicious gangs of NIGHTFALL-04 have received a fair few improvements as well, ranging from improved voice mixing done by DOORDemon, additional sound effects when preparing to fire (as well as restoring their warning lines, with a 50% chance), and a dash of extra aggressiveness for good measure. Even the bosses have been reworked with phases and extra attacks -- and you can finally shoot the Maid Boss!

Quality of Life: Aside from the gameplay, there have been smaller changes all across the board. Gun-toting enemies drop ammo for their respective weapon, minor tweaks to the gore system have made it so enemies don't disintegrate at a mere gust of wind, enemy attacks leave bullet holes in walls just as yours do, and so on.


This was roughly a month-and-a-half in the making, so I sincerely hope you enjoy my little attempt at stumbling my way through ZScript.

(Also, if by some strange chance you heard of Twilight Town through New Medium, or if New Medium encouraged you to buy the game, drop a comment; I'd love to know if I'm influencing something, somehow!)
