News about the shotgun and stuff (Patreon)

Okay...Things got a bit out of control because we’ve had extreme heat here for about a week. It’s so hot now that my mouse pad literally stuck to the desk. On top of that, the power outages have started again, most likely because of the heat as well, but that's not a big issue for now.But the shotgun is finished and fully integrated into the game, including all of its animations. The shotgun consists of around 40 separate parts. As I mentioned before, it will feel different from the assault rifle and pistol in terms of gameplay, because it works somewhat differently from the other weapons.

Shotgun shells are now also displayed on Judi’s body. There are three types of shotgun ammunition:

Birdshot

Buckshot

Slugs

Crafting shotgun ammunition is expensive, but the shells are also quite powerful. You’ll still be able to find them in the world, so ammunition shouldn’t become too much of a problem.

Limb damage has been removed from the game, meaning there is now only one general damage value instead of a separate limb-damage stat. The skill that previously increased limb damage has been replaced with skills that increase weapon-switching speed. The final swap skill slows down time around Judi when she draws her pistol.The shotgun also has a skill called Shotgun Blues, which increases the fire rate by a percentage with every consecutive shot.Weapons now reduce your movement speed:

Pistol: 5%

Assault rifle: 10%

Shotgun: 15%

Weapon swap animations also have been improved.

Right now, I’m starting work on the quest with Amelia. It will be a small tutorial, or rather part of the tutorial, that explains the weapon mechanics. After that, I’ll probably focus on bug fixes.It’s honestly difficult to think clearly in this heat, but the update is 169% coming this month.
