Tower57 is the love child of Alien Breed and The Chaos Engine, a fast paced action / arcade game with lots of insane weapons and challenging enemies.
Currently working on characters: to allow for customization (player customization but also to make NPC creation easier), characters are made of several layers:
boots
legs / pants
torso
head (haircuts, gender,...)
headgear (night goggles, helmets, ...)
equipped weapon
Added bonus: this system opens up the door to a slew of cool features such as slicing enemies in half, chopping or blowing heads off, disarming enemies, and much more!)
