Note

bad silly gun idea for the game: the gun shoots you (i.e. teleports you to the first raycast intersection). it is also full-auto rapid-fire.

this will be very jank and unbalancia

okay first of all balance is like the LAST thing on my mind right now so this is definitely Not a bad idea - ive been considering something along these lines for an upgrade already. i think it could potentially be even more fun if it did something interesting with momentum, maybe alongside the teleport. it might just be me but i believe momentum-based movement mechanics tend to be more satisfying to use than purely position-altering mechanics

thank you very much for the feedback though i really really appreciate it!! ive put a good chunk of time into this project and im glad someone digs what im doing :)))

#i want to make upgrades that synergize really well together so maximizing the potential use cases of a mechanic is important to me #something like rocket jumping for instance is incredibly versatile and analog compared to like #a big jump powerup. game makers toolkit on yt has a good video on making movement interesting if you're interested #related: i think physics engines in games tend to be fun because of the HUGE amount of emergent mechanics that result from them (e.g. totk)#ask #game development
