Greetings fellow recruits! Welcome to the 10th part of the Weapon fury program.
Firstly, I would like to thank all of you for being with me through these past furies. Your support has been amazing and it motivates me to keep making these. Today we have Photon Swarm. Let’s get into it.
****INTRODUCTION****
The way I thought this whole fury out is kind of simple. Although I decided to ramp up the weapon a bit and change the way it fires. The fury is good for anything that’s above and not under you basically.
Once the fury is activated, the Hero will launch a barrage of Photons. On the sides of the spacecraft you can see 4 flares. Orange and Blue. The blue Photons will emerge from the left side. And the orange Photons will emerge from the right. The other 2 flares on the tip of the spacecraft will shoot out blue and orange Photons from their respective flare color. The Photons in the middle will be much brighter because they can pierce through enemies. These ones only go in a straight line unlike the other Photons. A gradient of Blue and Orange will flash across the screen when the fury is activated.
It’s still not very interesting for a weapon fury though. It just seems like an overdrived photon swarm with a couple straight ones that pierce.
Feels like a hybrid of Hypergun fury and Photon Swarm, which is not very clever like that.
Maybe make a barrier of Photons that blocks enemy attacks/Damage enemies on contact instead? Something more on Defense rather than Offense.
The fury itself doesn’t need a change. You have bullets that home on the sides, and in the middle you have bullets that pierce through multiple enemies. But it certainly needs a damage buff.
The actual fury is available for each weapon, after its upgraded to power 8, you will unlock the meter for that individual weapon. So I think the grind to upgrade each weapon is already enough.
