Once you have a working projectile with real physics operating to produce apogee/perigee ballistics, Faith is certain. Beliefs may come, and beliefs may go, but Faith is always with us. Let’s talk weppins. First of all, in real combat, there’s not a lot of blossoming fireballs going on out of muzzles — you want to suppress the sound and the sight to prevent sniper spotters from getting a mark on your position.
Weppins are those things an Adventurer typically hefts about when wandering in the wilderness and suchlike places; Dreadfull Swampe is my personal favorite in an upcoming game on which I’m working.
Here, apart from powerups and add-ons, is the Basic Weapon Rack of current CTF and Afterlife Adventure games from my atelier:
Weapon Damage//Armor remaining on Target//Velocity of projectile at Target//range of weapon or projectile//accuracy per distance//atmospherics//windage//elevation//remaining life of target//total htk of target//rate of fire of weapon//explosive exit//ballistics//percentage of critical hit//dodging effects//blast damage//coolateral damage//additional damage such as poison, flame, ice, magical spells, runes and other mystical devices to improve the effectiveness of a weppin.
Naturally, “rate of fire” doesn’t just refer to a gun — it certainly includes how fast you can recover to kick, hit or otherwise maim and bully an opponent to death and resurrection* (see “respawn”), or how swiftly you can deliver a second blow or stab or swipe or riposte to an opponent’s aggression.
All the really grim, grisly & gruesome weapons in my medieval and space opera games are made in this spirit. Here is the roster of current weapons:
HAND//FIST//M1 GARAND//CARBINE//SHOTGUN//BOMBS//GRENADES//SENTRY GUN//MAC 11//FLAME THROWER//ROCKET LAUNCHER//WITCHY MAGIC//JUDITH SPELLCASTER SPELLS//FART SPRAY//CROSSBOW//RECURVE BOW//SWORD and of course, the ever-popular VULCAN DEATH-GRIP.
Best of all, most appreciated of all is the grapple. I’m preparing an entire roster of specifically Grapple Games. Get on my “beta” list and I’ll let you know when the pre-release is available. You’ll have to spot the .99 cents download fee, because if a million people download the game, I will owe the download service $1,000,000.10 — and the dime would hurt the most.
I’ll give you a rundown on some interesting items you could find and stick into your backback to use, trade or sell in my trading games.
