Oh, I didn't see you there.
I was just drinking the wine and reading through a glasses.
Gamba Gun's EIGHTH playable character has been added this week. It's a character with a weird movement gimmick, and it's all about styling on your enemies.
Skater can olly, kickflip, shuvit, 360, treflip and dolphin flip, and chain these together in a fun combo! WOW!
He has little tec9 guns!
But what's important is that much like the other characters, the character gimmick forces you to play in a weird way that is still fun and still "GambaGun."
"GambaFun"
There are two things that every character has to have if it wants to exist:
The character gimmick needs to be fun, and it can't circumvent the gun-building and bullets.
It seems pretty simple but making fun gimmicks is a challenge on its own, and sometimes great ideas are actually horrible ideas. Let's look at a scrapped character for example: 
Synth style was supposed to be a tower-defense character. His gimmick is that he has to protect his battery. The problem with this character quickly became evident: the disconnect between movement and having the battery being a sitting duck was palpable when I was testing, and despite my best efforts, the character had to get scrapped!
I couldn't waste any more time, so I quickly pivoted to making the skater, and it instantly proved to be the better option. Even without any game feel like sounds being implemented, the skater was already feeling 10 times better than the synth.
I do think there is a world where synth can exist, but that world is one where I have infinite time and, own a cat, and don't live with my parents. And I also have a latina baddie gf who brings me sandwiches without me asking for it and a really big bathtub thats basically a hot tub and also a really fast 144hz monitor and $1,000,000.
Maybe that world is just a world tomorrow...
But the cost of finishing the synth, versus the cost of pivoting was way less, so that's the way the darling's killed.
Anyways, that's what happened this week.
