NEWBLACK'S PROFILE

I might have asked before but surely you're a fan of Mischief Makers/Gunstar Heroes/Treasure games in general?

I dare you to implement this :D :

author=Wikipedia Entry for Pancor Jackhammer:
Magazine function as an anti-personnel mine:
As an interesting additional feature, it is possible to take the drum magazine off the firearm, attach a detonator, and use it as an anti-personnel mine that fires all of the cartridges at once when tripped. The manufacturer advertised this as the "Beartrap".

Also any chance for... MODULAR WEAPONS?! (basically I mean detachable weapon accessories or modifications?)

Well. The real-world and/or generic weapons don't seem so out of place as this is set in the near-future and the characters are humans of earth origin. The Ithaca & Jackhammer are fine imo. Plus the (I assume) system shock weapons don't seem too out of place either due to their near-normality. What really set alarm bells off for me was the Gorgon Pistol because that game is set in an entirely fictional universe (I mean, they're not even from earth etc) and the weapon would feel really out of place imo, like finding a medieval mace. I guess plasma cutter could seem pretty bad too if it's a straight-up copy of dead space's.

I dunno. That's just how I feel. I don't think there's anything wrong with ripping off the idea behind the weapon or its general functionality etc but I think it really clangs to see stuff lifted directly from multiple franchises in one game. Considering how consistent, custom and neat everything else about this game is; it just seemed weird and out of place to have all the weapons be from other things.

Considering how nice the custom elements of the GUI are for this game, have you considered improving the system set for the parts of the default system that you can't replace with pictures? I know you can use custom fonts (of the right type) in rm2k3, in fact I'm pretty sure you can make your own fonts for rm2k3 if you know what you're doing - That way the system text could match your pixel font GUI stuff. (Pretty sure it requires some patching to pull it off though, so might wanna back up your project folder if you do try it)
