WOW I am so excited for all of this to come out. I hope to get those holograms for the condos, they would make nice décor. I cant wait for the Grav Glove, it looks so much fun! Thank you for more textures!!

The Soul Camera printed photo should have the victim’s profile picture on it

wowwowwowwowwowwowwowwow.
holy hell, sdnl’s weapons are SO much more entertaining than i was even anticipating
the trail of the RIQOCHETING crossbow bolts. the PROPEL of the tele-puncher, and the little WHACK textures with the overall look of the weapon itself. THE GRAV GLOVE, BEING ABLE TO PICK UP EVEN PROJECTILES. the instant soul camera, which btw i appreciate the realism of the photo not being instantly developed lmao. the projectiles and trails of the plasma gun, and the kinda recoil-or-whatever-the-word-is where you look upperwards as you shoot it.
this is actually so phoenominal. i would love to have these as milestone unlockables sometime. and also it’s huge inspiration for my own work, lmao. so movement-based.

also the UI reminds me of the snowball cannon minigame, which i really like. shield looks phoenominal, and the holograms are really pretty. always down for some dual wielding, too ^w^

incredible work

Decimator reminds me Doom 3 shotgun or something (i don’t remember the correct name of it)

God this is so sick. I love these weapons !

Will super weapons be map-specific or randomized?

Randomized when you pick them up.

fucking awesome. I wonder now, how they are planned to appear in Arena maps? Is it similar to the Snowball Cannon, where it spawns at the apex of the map?
