Hey everyone! Feel free to post your ideas about new alien species, weaponry, stage hazards, anything! You can add pictures of art or even ask others to help brainstorm ideas or add art of theirs to your idea if you're not a confident artist, just please keep art related to ideas in this discussion or explain if you're adding a whole new idea. (Once a few ideas become relatively popular in this discussion, other ideas should wait until popular ones die down)

    Silence can be so... silent.

    Well all my weapon ideas are sitting in the game design doc, so.... ;-)

    I've got a new idea... For a new rifle mode!
    I call it: Tesla Seekers
    •
  • Scott_McDermottScott_McDermott Exterminator
    Tesla Seekers (Rifle Mod-6)
    - are slow moving bolts of lightning which jump enemy from enemy.
    As they travel between enemies, the bolts gain speed and seeking accuracy,
    but shrink and do less damage.
    - The bigger the Lightning bolt, the bigger the chance to paralyze the enemy.
    If, though, an enemy does get paralyzed, the lightning bolt will not leave that enemy.
    The paralyzation period is up to 3 seconds if it is the first enemy to be hit by this bolt of lightning.
    The period is 2 1/2 seconds if the enemy is the second to be hit, 2 seconds if it is the third,
    And 1 1/2 seconds if it is the fourth.
    - The cooldown of firing is shortened if upgraded, from 1 being a 1-second cooldown,
    2 being a 2/3 of a second cooldown, to 3 being a 1/2 second cooldown.

    The max enemies hit by a single lightning bolt is 2 for power level 1 projectiles, 3 for power level 2 projectiles, and 4 for power level 3 projectiles.

    I'll post a picture of an idea of how it might look in a few days.

    (I know that it will still look like a normal gun if it was an accurate Hive Jump weapon, so maybe not).

    Well, I'm still hopeful for other ideas to be posted...

    I finally figured out what gave me the idea! It's the zapitizer gun from the game Scribble Hero!

    This is a screenshot of the zapitizer gun - (I just hope it's not against copyright or forum rules,
    which I'm going to go check now - please say so if you know)

    In other words, I think a projectile that chains from enemy to enemy would be an AWSOME addition to the rifle mods.

    There may or may not be a weapon like that in our planned arsenal ;-)

    I guess I shouldn't expect anyone to notice this discussion at least for another two months or so...

    Hey guy! Don't be like that! 

    People get busy and the forums are pretty quiet due to work work. Once there is a proper playtest Alpha, there will be heaps more action on the forums. Just sit tight! ^_^

    Good things come to those who wait.

    ... I feel so... so exclamation points...

    ...(partly because I hadn't felt like checking the forum for that long when what I doubted would happen DID - and very soon after I said I doubted it for that matter - what a perfect example of situational irony)...

    ...(P.p.s. - I can hardly believe that I am, or could have been, even more exited to play this game Wii-U style!)...

    That kind of reminds me of the rocket launcher mode that fires a rocket that splits into smaller ones.

    Scott_McDermott said:

    It would be awesome if bullets could fire in spread or auto rifle mode.
    Then, if the game worked like that, maybe the cryo beam would pierce enemies in a straight line (standard mode), Have a liquid nitrogen mist mode ( like the flamethrower ) , or fire ricocheting shards of ice. What if the tesla seekers mod I talked about (in the art cave) was one of the different modes of the tesla cannon? Or if the rockets could be toggled to seeking instead of splitting?

    This was from the discussion "If you could take a weapon from any other game..."
