HEROGRINDER EVOLUTIONS: RAYCASTER
To follow-up from our Herogrinder: Evolutions post a few months ago, we've decided to put the Raycaster into focus to showcase the full involvement of our entire team in the creation of a beautiful game asset. The Raycaster is a great example of the creative process behind Herogrinder, especially the game designers since it is a unique weapon that adds new game mechanics.
Instead of standard ammo and line of sight firing, the Raycaster emits an area effect that can target multiple enemies at the same time in either a line or a cone. The weapon is basically a point-and-fire solution that never misses and doesn't require an attack roll. As an energy weapon, it also negates recoil and can't fumble either. In addition, it also causes burn damage in succeeding rounds if the enemy can't avoid the flames.
Based on these specifications from game designers, our concept artist Luke drew the gun and we finalized the concept together. Then our 3D artist Gergo designed the object in 3D. Finally, our Unity team integrated it into the game environment and added it to the customizer.
We came full circle when the content team created the lore around the weapon and placed it into the context of the game, like so:
"The Widerange Raycaster is the pride of Stellar Dynamics in the newest line from the “Spectrum series” developed in orbital factories under zero-g manufacturing protocols. Laser emissions are spread in a wide cone or straight line shape for area effects that will hit all your enemies at once and set them on fire with a single blast."

Wanted for questioning: CyriX Robertson
In a viral-construct manifesto, even CyriX Robertson of P4P (People For People) has condemned the latest stunt from Marcus Yablonsky, stating that it "showed great insensitivity and horrendous discrimination" to use bioroid blood, which has "long been spilled in vain in the arenas". The organization stands for bioroid rights, which has repeatedly put them at odds with the Herogrinder Corporation and MediCore Pharma, suppliers of the bioroid clones used in the Herogrinder show. CyriX Robertson is still at large and wanted for questioning in his possible role in the hijacking and disappearance of a bioroid shipment last month.
