Big F###### Gun!
Over the past few days in parallel with our Green Light preparation, I was able to get our BFG gun working. My aim for this particle system was a charging energy cannon. My inspiration came from the Independence Day "Super" Weapon.
The weapon builds up an energy field, a plasma beam grounds the gun to the target, and when critical overload is reached the energy discharge piggybacks down the beam destroying the target.
Upon impact, a massive shockwave devastes all in its range. As shown above, the gun can be used to destroy floating asteroids which can be used as a secondary strategy to "drop" and smash troops underneath. There is still a bunch to finish on the weapon, but it was a BLAST to develop. :)
Manalock Upgrades (the blue guy )
Currently, the manalock looks like he works for TWA as airtraffic controller with his weird looking flashlight guns. No More! Here is a preview of his final guns.
More to come on this......
STEAM GREEN LIGHT
Again, if you like what you see go to Steam and vote YES and tell your friends! GameON!
:)
Woo! Good luck with this guys!
On a side note, do you have plans to release on PC outside of Steam? Please say yes! Indiegamestand.com perhaps?
Why should they bother unless its a physical purchase?(ie Amazon,etc) Source games have always been on Steam and its usually faster plus more reliable then the alternatives.
We are open to it and have been in contact with them :)
Why wouldn't you suggest Desura?
