Dev Log: Weapons

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on improving the weapon system! Here’s what’s new:

Weapon Types


You can use melee weapons for close combat or ranged weapons for long-distance fights. Some weapons have higher or lower range, letting you pick the best option for each situation.

Crafting & Upgrading


You can craft weapons, upgrade them, and create ammo. Improve durability, increase damage, and customize your gear to fit your playstyle. Also you can learn abilities to improve your melee and shooting parameters.

Exclusive Weapons


Rare weapons with special skins and stats can be found in supply boxes or secret locations. Keep exploring to discover them!

Hit Effects


Weapons react differently depending on what you hit—concrete, metal, water, dirt, and more all have unique sounds and visual effects.

Rocket Launcher, Crossbow & Flamethrower


I’m working on adding new weapons - the rocket launcher, crossbow and flamethrower. They’re still in development, but they’ll bring some explosive and fire-based fun to combat!

That’s all for now! Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for new weapons or features.

Don't forget to follow, wishlist game to receive notification when game will be available.
