Bleach:Zanpakutou Senshi is a totally free Total Conversion of Half-Life 1. It´s based on the japanese hit Anime Bleach.
One of the ranged attacks for Grimmjow will be a cero beam.
In this approach I prepared the other parts of the game behaviour to be prepared for the implementation of the beam, such as preventing the player from moving while shooting the beam and allowing the player to disengage the attack and regain movement. The rotation of the player's aim will also be locked.
In the video you see multiple Cero's being fired rapidly and automatically. The concept is to create a dynamical beam linked by small attacks, but appearing as a single beam.
The reason behind this approach is described in: Moddb.com
A quick 5mb video in 800x600. Downsampled to 480p by YT and for some reason it just looks even worse on moddb. - So much for being kind towards the environment and bandwidth I guess.
Let me know if you find it important that I make them 1080p instead.
Looks pretty nice to me, but yeah, it was downsampled pretty badly.
I like it!
