I’ve been cooking up ideas for the next big weapon update, and the top three contenders are:
Black Hole Gun - Sucks enemies into oblivion (inspired by mechanics from my next horror sim project).
Sat Gun - Orbital strike goodness from above.
Tunnel Effect Gun - Creates deadly passages enemies won’t escape from.
Each one could be tuned for mass kills (like the Chem Gun) or single-target power (like a Gravity Gun). Personally, I think mass-kill is more useful for higher missions - but I want to hear what you think.
The Black Hole Gun can be done pretty quickly with some special effects, but since it’s an area weapon I’ll need to nail the balance so it doesn’t break the game.
Expected release: ~30 days
In the meantime, please tell your friends about Alien Grounds - it’s still 100% free, and more players means more fun (and more crazy weapons).
