Gameplay

One of the goals of this mod was to make a mod without a million keybinds. Besides the standard Doom controls, this mod only utilizes altfire (right mouse button)

Showtime is a mod about discovery and experimentation. Heidi has many abilities with her tomes, but can only have one tome equipped at a time. Tome switching becomes mandatory as every time Heidi changes outfits, she will have to change her tome. Learning how each altfire works, its strengths and weaknesses is key to survival. Be creative, many tome altfires have extra abilities and even the most bizarre of abilities have their place and can turn the tides of battle in your favor.

Heidi can increase her base power through weapon upgrades and style points. Every weapon can be upgraded via ??? boxes, akin to berserk patches and like berserk patches, they only last the current level. Style points are passive bonuses obtained when changing into a non-default outfit. Each style of outfit provides a different bonus. These bonuses stack so the more outfit Heidi wears, the stronger she becomes. Be careful. If Heidi's armor drops to zero, she will lose all her current style points. Be sure to keep a spare outfit around, just in case.

Showtime is a balanced gameplay mod. With the right tome, weapon upgrades and enough style points, Heidi can become powerful, but she will never be overpowered.

Weapons

Slot 1: Saw

Nothing better than Sawing a demon in half. On hit, enemies drop health. Altfires will drop different ammo types depending on the tome. The upgraded saw does more damage and will always stun enemies.

Slot 2: Appreciate wand

Tool of the trade for any magician and the primary workhorse weapon. Great for snipering a distant imp or obnoxious heckiler. The upgrade fires an extra shot

Slot 3: Razor deck

Strong and sharp. Worthless at a distance, but deadly when up close and personal. The upgrade fires additional cards after the attack to finish off a still standing spectator.

Slot 4: Nothing, nope, nada 

Slot 5: Magic hat

What would a magic show be without the classic pulling a rabbit out of a hat trick? Rabbits run toward there target and explode into a lovely firework. Just keep your distance. Rabbits may not be able to strike airborne enemies, by many of the altfire animals can. The upgraded rabbits move faster and let off extra explosions.

Slot 6: Portal rings

Watch as one ring becomes four. Each ring rapidly fires out a powerful blastof magic which can decimate an army of demons in seconds. If only it didn't chew through ammo and take forever to deploy...

Which the upgrade completely remedies. Go nuts!!! (This upgrade will always replaces the BFG)
