Alright, here's some feedback.
1. You might want to consider looking for another name for the project. Let me just show you how many projects already have "Doom RPG" name.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT6aiCWCnCU <- infamous mobile game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vvJNfkTNRk <- some custom game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYVkKVdQx-A <- ZDoom mod
If you don't mind that people will mix them then fine. It's just that, if I noticed a server with "doomrpg.wad" on ZDaemon I would surely think it's a remake of mobile game.

A - No. I am very finicky about letting people play me unfinished work. |
2. Not the best decision, imo. When you do something new, especially when it's a new gamemode / new gameplay mechanic / etc, letting a few of your buddies check it out is a good thing. They will point out some problems and good suggestions which will not hard to change or implement because the mod is still in alpha. If you create the full beta and then realize you didn't plan (predict) something or you should have added something, you'll have to re-do a lot more of things.
After all.. How is uploading a public video of an early alpha different from letting a few people actually try it out? Well, it only differs in a way that people cannot give you proper feedback because they don't fully understand how the things work.
3. Thanks for the uninformative topic title
Other than that, looks pretty promising. Good luck with the project. |

Hmm well I was going to change the title at some point considering Doom RPG is a phone game. And considering the only real RPG element is the leveling system there really is no need to name it that way. It's going to be leaning more towards an action title anyway (god that third video link you gave me that game looked like it would be boring).
And I already have a set of dedicated alpha testers, I was just trying to dust off all of the people that will ask for my wad so they can jack the code from it for their own stuff (it happens).
Thanks for the feedback though, it reconfirmed a few of my thoughts on this. |

I thought this thread was going to be about this for a second. |
