I’ve been through numerous game ideas, and have drifted around back to making a Cube mod.<\/p>\n

My idea is inspired by time spent in AssaultCube using a shotgun. They’re such fun weapons that I want to make an FPS where the protagonist only uses a shotgun.<\/p>\n

The game’s title is Shotty<\/em>, which is also the name of the protagonist. The game will feature a handful of different shotguns. The player will have a basic shotgun which can fire either buckshot or an infinite supply of birdshot. There will also be a double-barreled shotgun, an automatic fire shotgun (Sometimes called a “Jackhammer”), and a low-spread shotgun that fires over long range. The bad guys will probably be trolls. Because trolls are ugly and mean, and make good villains.<\/p>\n

The game’s setting will be lighthearted, starting in a quaint grassland and moving to a cartoonish Quake-like fortress. I don’t have a plot yet, but I like what I have so far. (Even though I have only vague designs and some slightly edited Cube sources)<\/p>\n

I’m still hoping to finish one of these…<\/p>\n
