since the game isn’t a straight up FPS and I’m aiming for a cartoonish stlye. it’s more like one big crazy artifact hunt. you can use these barrels in many ways. other then dieing from them.
I just wanted to add some more stuff other then the typical exploding barrels. still more types are to come. and maybe mixes…maybe.
I’m just working on the balancing. the heath and damage system works somewhat, I just didn’t show the players damage yet.
item and monster barrels. I’m having problems spawning random items/enemies.
the ice barrel will do two types of damage. it also has it’s own heath bar too.
physical damage if you some how come into contact with the pillar of the ice like crystals, and frost bite. it will pretty much be the same as catching on fire. you or enemies will turn into a block of ice if you die from it.
the radioactive one I didn’t show because render to texture is just showing black. I had it working in older builds of the game.
wanted to have a Heat Distortion effect using a warped animated water texture. it will have aimless pockets of radiation. if you get in one you screen will get warped.
acid barrel removes one armor piece.
for the oil barrel I removed the effects for the stages of damage.
1.it starts leaking.
2.it start to spew fire
3.it starts to bounce up and down
then it blows up, can be used to moon jump
blast barrels. needs to be avoided. hiding behind a wall won’t help get out of range.
I know the darkhole barrel works to well. I’m just thinking if I should make it just kill you if you get pulled in, or have some random darkhole barrels take you to some type of hidden bonus zone. it is useing a modified version of the planet gravity.
and as for mixes that will be kind of hard to pull off. it will pretty much be made in the way I made the level of damage for the barrels.
Blast+ice = pin cushion. blasts out spear like fragments
water barrel will make the blast barrel useless.
and so on so on
and the biggest thing is, I decided to remove all of the guns you can use 
to make things easier on me. your only weapon is the gas shielded mining laser(Gouger) and one melee. the other weapons will be used by enemies. that are capable of using them. health will not auto regain you need heath packs which are rare, Ammo is your money in some ways. so be careful. the life coins have some use but. for what? I’m not saying what they do, they aren’t money or health ether…those are the gold and silver square things.
I was also testing out chain reactions, It’s not flawless yet.
If the game gain some massive support. When I’m finally finish, and release it, the 2nd game will have even more stuff to offer.
like things.
