Disgusting, but fucking rad as hell.

[@hypnotoad28]

It really is. I think that actual body parts (arms, legs, etc) should be less obtainable than, say, organs (if he does do the body part thing at all, as he said he wasn't sure). I think that'd add a little more depth to the mechanic, not to mention add a few customization options, even if it's only a few.

[@PacdemonStudios1]

Was skeptical of the new body design until I saw it with hair and heard the lore bit. You could definitely use that to create a class system where your limbs determine what class you are, like imagine getting the hand or throat of a legendary bard to play that class, or the eyes of a thief for better night vision, or a barbarian's arms giving you the Good Melee.

"And here is the Hall Of Appendices. Each one taken from a legendary warrior once they contracted appendicitis. The Scrolls say to Honor Every Part and thus they remain carefully preserved. If any of these containers are breached, the appendix inside will explosively rupture, wounding or killing any living thing nearby. So we very, very carefully keep them contained." - an idea for lore explaining the grenades in the game.

Idea: what if every full play through of the game your character is put on ice at the end and when a new save is started you can use a piece of your previous saves body to unlock special areas in the game. Ex: There’s a cave that can only be accessed by someone with the “right arm of the gunslinger” which means you have to do a full play through of the game and max out your damage. You then make a new save and take your previous saves right arm.

And heck, they could be poisonous so the player has to go around or over them, which would also make for some extra challenging fights later.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

@Code Turtle inverted colours? Do you mean... that the surface would be orange? You'll have to describe a little more, unless you mean that the brightness values of the reflected inage are inverted so bright objects reflect darkly and dark objects reflect brightly, in which case I think the player would struggle to identify poisonous vs non-poisonous water.

[@osnisida]

this meme was posted by olympia gang

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

I'm pretty sure the dev is aware that over-under shotguns exist. It's just that they are not all that commonly featured in video games. The archetypal video game double barrel shotgun, especially in boomer shooters, is a side-side shotgun. Not exactly sure why that is, but I have a theory that it may have to do with the fact that the weapons in a lot of these games are low resolution 2D sprites rather than 3D models, and they also tend to be in the center of the screen, so a side-side shotgun is just easier to work with, and that eventually became the standard as a result.

[@mogaming163]

@@xxfalconarasxx5659 I assume also because of side side being more popular

[@kardrasa]

If you turn enemy into gibs then you can't use their body to protect yourself. Which kinda means that shooting enemies more accurately is more punishing because you'll do more damage and is more likely they'll explode.

I recommend you to play Prey 2006 to get more inspiration. This game has living/biomechanical guns with interesting design and other things. For example, you can get a badass minigun made of a big insect that spits bullets from mouth and fires bombs from it's "stinger". Also I have two ideas: -The first idea is to add robots as harder enemies or mini-bosses. You need to eat enemies' flesh in order to keep as much health as possible, but what about enemies with no flesh? Robots drop metal scrap (instead of flesh gibs) and some ammo for weapons. It will be harder to survive the robot assault, but more rewarding. -The second idea is to add counter-weapon mechanic: spicific weapon is more or less powerful against specific enemy.

I see an issue with making enemies explode as you won't be able to collect their organs, meaning that you might have missed a chance of getting some high stats organs. This would make the player not want to use guns that might make the enemy explode.

But what about guns that are cleanish, something like Unreal Tournament's Ripper? Rare ammo but high chances to loot organs.

What if there is an organ grinder gun, and organs are collected and used to power a magical monkey's paw that shoots electrical or gravitational pulses that temporarily incapacitate the enemy?

[@onewhosaysgoose4831]

I am wondering how much potential this game has in doubling most of its guns as movement enhancing options. I am learning game design as a hobby, please tell me what you think of theses suggestions. I am going to take a wild guess that you toned down the crazy speed of everything because it made the game harder to approach, and recommend adding semi-advanced movement options to all the guns as a means of helping the game flow without overwhelming a player that isn't comfortable with mouse aim. >Giving the double-barrel shotgun modest self knockback on each shot while airborne would let the player engage with the first shot while still ready to fire the 2nd shell. Depending on how much traction the player has early in landing, this tricky movement could be used defensively to throw off enemies's lead or go skidding into the next ravine. This would also offer an approachability option for players who want to punish those bandits for jump-strafing in their face, by applying an airborne-only knockback that deals heavy damage and pushes the bandit to comfortable SMG range. I keep seeing you spend tons of time just backpeddling in large circles to avoid the aggressive enemies that you struggle to track with the SMG, and I think this would improve the game flow for people who can't track a ferret on meth, without taking the meth away from the ferret. Plus dynamic 1-2 combos in FPS games feel satisfying to pull off. >The tickler can be made to sticky-jump if missed ticks would stick to the ground and start trying to drain the sand - and then explode in a knockback-only explosion after their normal timer expires. If this frustrated poof would simultaneously detonate all other missed ticks in its radius, then the player could tickle themself airborne at speed at the steep cost of shooting the tickler at the ground instead of the dangerous bandits. Teaching the ai bandits, even if only a slight elite version of them, to intelligently surf your tickler rounds in combat would be pretty nuts. I don't know how hard it would be to give it the instruction "keep track of missed ticks, and if the tick is close and has >t time to explosion, attempt surf tickles" "surf tickles by confining strafe to have tick->self vector within X degrees of player, then jump on expected detonation" It could be overwhelming to get ticklerjumped by a bandit, but I think that whipping out the ticklejumping Shotgun bandits after the player has experienced the power of the tickler in direct fire would be a great way to remind them that they are in a desolate part of a terrifying world. Plus it would provide a poignant organic tutorial for using a weapon-based traversal/movement system. >With the shotgun's instant jump kick and the tickler's ground grenade jumping role, there is no need for boring old grenade launcher jumping. It already has a great fast reload speed :), which can mean that simply adding moderate self knockback to its explosions can make it a thrilling high-risk weapon for airborne engagements: you could use the grenade launcher at medium range to gib those 2 ape-bandits over there, or you could choose to 180 knockback-jump your shotgun to sail towards the first guy, drop a grenade onto his head, and ride the knockback of his bloody splatter to get in his friends face before his ape brain can comprehend that he is face to face with death incarnate. Both of these get the job done, and both of these will be fun, but I expect that adding the 2nd one in the game for players to master will extend the life and replay value of the game by giving the players a deep part of the combat to master. >Honestly leaving the SMG with no knockback would probably complement the other guns the best, by giving a way to spray damage without throwing you or your enemies around. A flashy movement system's true test is letting you get where you want to go, and having a midrange lazer beam that doesn't distrupt your flight ensures that a player won't have to knock themselves around while trying to use the guns in combat. >Giving the player character some small extra arms in their torse would give a disgusting lore reason to reload their holstered guns after >20 seconds of being holstered, and incentivize weapon-switching by making sure the player isn't absentmindedly getting themselves killed by forgetting to reload all their guns.

A buff (or name change or anything )could be written to the HAND rather than the PLAYER that killed him. From there, you'll eventually inherit a different hand and give your hand to the icebox for someone else to inherit. The next player to inherit your hand would use that retained data saved to the object! And kill more enemies to improve it! And eventually pass it off again!!!

Still gonna buy and play it, just as a thank you for the amazing videos you make. I hope the first-person perspective will improve gameplay at the cost of cool.

Hadn't seen anything about this in awhile -- it's looking great!

I think adding some physics to blow the gibs away from the killing hit would feel a lot more impactful. For example, instead of just exploding into gibs from a shotgun blast they would actually be sent flying away from the player’s shot.

God how cool is this concept and THIS GAME IN GENERAL

[@inn5268]

the thickler it's such a cool concept, perhaps it could become the signature weapon of the game, just like the bfg for doom or the gravity gun for half life

This game is just so cool looking. It's just so right up my alley in so many ways, and I honestly think this'll be an instant buy for me whenever it drops. If you want to add more historic body parts in the future, the metroidvania route seems like it could work out well. Big permanent upgrades that make some gameplay changes and are required for progress. Also makes them a bit more important, because you're not necessarily swapping it in and out like the other organ stuff. And it could be cool for tying the lore and gameplay mechanics together.

Dude that's awesome. Really like the idea with the exchangeable organs and the PS1 esthetics.
