It's a little broken due to an oversight on my part. I'm working on making it a bit more reliable.
Problem is that it ran out of power and now its stuck on and it automatically switches away everytime I select it.

Like the one guy mentioned, I would also up the damage of the revolver, but not as much as "Dirty Harry" levels like he said. The Revolver looks a lot like a Smith & Wesson Model 19 which is a .357 Magnum, which definitely has more punch than a 9mm, but it's not .44 Magnum levels. Make it so the Revolver has a bit more punch, but not OP, so that its a balance between it and the Glock where the Glock has more ammo and fires faster but does less damage while the revolver is the opposite. That would sort that out.

I'm not sure if you saw Mr. Icarus' video on your mod, but it has a lot praise but also some pointers on room for improvement that might be useful to you.

Yes, I did. A link was posted on this very thread actually, courtesy of QuakedoomNukem Cz (thanks buddy).

The revolver is actually a .45 caliber, but there will be an opportunity to up it's damage. I've already increased it's minimum damage in the build i'm working on, which increases it's 1/2 shot kill chance on weaker enemies, and gives it a bit more reliability on mid-tier creatures.

You mean its chambered in .45 ACP or .45 Long Colt?

.45 ACP. Sorry I should have made that distinction, but no exact names are given for a reason. It's loosely based on the S&W 625 with moon clip inserts. And I mean loosely. Weapons are based on real world models, but with small changes (9mm autoloader looks more like a 17, but loads the compact magazine to remain a multiple of 32).

I wanted weapons to be recognisable but somewhat... amorphous? As to what they are.

I could tell the SMG was an Ingram MAC-10. Nice EFNY reference by the way. Would only need the scope on it to be complete. Scope on a MAC-10, there's a useless item if there ever was one. Lol

Yeah... It was suggested, if only for the reference. I might add in a "tier 2 weapon mods" pack for the base game, which will add some more interesting or weirder mods (pile bunker becomes the Nuclear Bunker with a handy chunk of radioactive metal, scope for suppressed Ingram, spring loaded stock and extra two barrels for sawed off, lol). A plan for later maybe, for fun.

Only the assault rifle for now. I may do a different weapon set for any future installments, but I have thought about it and won't be adding lots of weapons to this release. An M14/BAR or something like the FAL could be thematic, but probably won't come in till later.

I will post more in the next few days.

At some point, have you considered reloading animations for charging weapons that are completely empty?

There will also be "medium" cannibals, and thugs with MAC-10, I guess?

And yes, I want to add that the "ghost" enemy was a really creepy.

Glad you liked the... ghost. Although... somewhat inaccurate description :wink:

Yeah, I've got some ideas for new characters.

I'm playing around with a creature called the Cannibal Overseer (working title) who will add a bit of direction and authority to mutant groups, although he'd still get stomped if he pissed off a Master. Also, Vultures will get Leader characters, with automatic weapons, but still not sure if I should make them female (just purely for variety. I wanted more female characters in episode 2, since I've only added Violet so far. There was space for another female character you find references to in The Wall, but you never meet her).


Ah, as for separate loading animations, not sure where to draw the line there. If you have separate animations for loading, would I then have to add 1-bullet-clips rule? Chambered rounds? I don't want to detract too much from the old-school mentality or gameplay.
