Praetorian Defiance is a new first person shooter that will immerse the player in harsh and unyielding alien world. The player will take the place of a warrior whose people have been betrayed by the very people who were sent to help them. This causes them to turn to an old adversary in order to fight for their very survival. Our Player (Insert Name) is a member of the Praetorian Guard on Gilese 185C. Originally a Colony of Earth, Gilese was cut off from all support from earth and abandoned to it’s own fate. Despite these events, the people there prospered. They modified their bodies to better suit their hostile environment. Then out of the blue, Earth reappears, but to what end is the subject of our story.
Here are just a few of the things we have been working on. I know its been a while since we have posted much on ModDB and I think it's high time we change that. :)
this gun really is insane!
so its a plasma smg then?
essentially ;)
Yes, the slide is such that the cartridge is grabbed from the magazine on the return, just earlier in the action than a traditional rear-orientation loading weapon. As for the shells, these are chemical batteries that through activation in the chamber, combine to generate the extremely high temperatures necessary to generate plasma from the gasses within the cartridge. The plasma is conveyed out of the barrel from a magnetic containment bottle within the "barrel" which allow exit through the front, charging the plasma ball such that it maintains shape as a "projectile" until it encounters a hard surface, or runs out of containment at the end of its range, and disperses as a hot cloud of gas (albeit small). The plasma generated acts as the force to cycle the weapon, just like a traditional cordite weapon, lending the reuse of older technologies (as modern day automatic weapons) on a modern weapon. The individually compacted plasma cartridges gives the freedom of ammo distribution, and removes the need for a huge generator to superheat the gas within the "barrel."
