Ideas.

[Meiscool-2]

Not quite sure where to put this, but I didn't think it was All Of All deserving.

My system in Metal Tears will allow several different weapons. I was thinking: What weapons should I have? I've already got:

Daggers
Swords
Spears
Bows (not crossbows)
Guns
Ninja Stars
Boomerangs
Hatchets
Throwing Sabers
Magic Bolts

Maybes:
Axes
Javelins

Not Gonna Have:
Cross Bows
Fists
Huge/Large Weapons

These were all realitivly easy to sprite, but making a new sword gets harder and harder each time. Anyways, I was wondering, what else should I put in? The battle system has been modified to be EXACTLY like Secret of Mana. Pixel-By-Pixel based movement and everything. As seen above, Projectile weapons, Melee weapons, and Throwing weapons are all accepted. Also, if you can think of something real creative, like a bomb you place down and then you press attack again to make it go off, then please suggest that too. Coding attacks like that really isn't hard at all, so even if the idea seems wild, please suggest it. Just don't suggest something overly powerful, like a sword that slashes across the entire screen at once.

Hammers (Like Mjollnir)
Mines
Whips/Cat o Nine Tails/Kunai with Chain/etc
Bolas
Shields (Cap could use em!)

More when I want to think.

How bout have some funny weapons as secrets:
-Umbrella
-Guitar
-Base Ball

or you could also use basic weapons before really getting one:
-Throwing Stone
-Iron Pole(or Broom Handle)
-Stick
-Wooden Plank

Then regular weapon could be:
-Molotov Cocktails(explodes on impact hurts area)
-Scythe (Sickle)
-Razr Sharp Hat (Kung Lao From MK)
-Wand (Shoots Magic Orbs)
-Remote Control Bomb (On wheels so you can move it then detonate)


thats all i can think of

Magic bracelets. Let me explain: there would be a which can create an energy-based style of weapon that trades off attack speed for attack power (or even effects). The bracelet would be a one-of-a-kind werapon, but it can be upgraded in various ways, which often mixes up the attributes of the weapon (not just a simple power increase), changes the type of weapon between melee sweep, melee pierce, melee four-way, projectile, projectile spread, projectile wave... Use your imagination. Point is, it would be a free-form, changable weapon. And for visual awesomeness, you could make it so the energy of it changes based on effets it carries, like purple for poison, orange for power boost, red for health sapping, etc.

Archem: I've got something like that already, but it's an accessory/relic, not a weapon.

Of those suggestions, I like the mines and rocks. Rocks would be cool, because it would give me something random to put in the fields that you could pick up. I'm also thinking now of making a shield that is temporary (meaning, after blocking a certain amount of damage, it breaks)

Please keep suggesting

Dude.....


Kamas.

Theyre like a small, handheld axe/scythe hybrid. One per hand.

Flails are cool.


Baton/club/Nightstick/flashlight.

Im using a sort of maglite baton in my project for the intiial equipment. Thay way, your initial weapon isnt a useless piece of crap. when equipped, it allows you to see in caves an whatnot.
Just an idea im sharing.

Staffs, varaieties of Kendo sticks.
If i remember more Ill let you know

[Meiscool-2]

Dude! Flashlight! I can't believe I didn't think of that before.... This opens up a whole new way of making battles now.

Throwing Axes.[/I]

[Meiscool-2]

Are the same things as Hatchets.

[Dragonium]

Pfft, I stopped reading your posts a long time ago.

[Ace of Spades]

This really could have been posted in your game thread, but since there's nowhere else for it, it's fine. Moved to Games though.

[Meiscool-2]

Meh.

Anyways, the mines and shield suggestions have been coded into the game, and the rocks will come soon. I'm debating how fast and far the rock should be able to be thrown.

Please keep suggestions up. Sometimes, obvious things don't cross my mind :p

[MrMister]

Razor Wire.
2x4.
****** knife.(broken bottle)

[aboutasoandthis]

Rapiers yet?

And how about a metal string? Kind Of like that razor wire MrMister suggested. You can attack folks with it (Think Sheik from Zelda) and you can spin people around and toss them with it.

[Meiscool-2]

I'd like to put rapiers in, but how could I make them different from spears? Other than the fact that rapiers are one handed.
