"Heater" (alien laser rifle)

[LazyRain]

Hello, I want to show you my old dusty art. Little story first. In the beginning of 2014 I have begun make up with new weapon which is definitely will be great for the game. I had the idea about the new unique weapon and the grenade. But this time it's about the gun. I long time didn't want to show it because it is not really beautiful in my opinion. I have made 2 more versions of it later and below I will tell about each of them.

Spoiler: Show More

So, first version.

I know it looks more like pixel-art. But I was too lazy for something better. The most awful thing is that I have sent THIS to Eric. It was when I hadn't second account yet.

I doubt that he saw it, because his s_pam_tra_p works perfect, heh. I don't like to remember this moment. Anyway, about the gun. The first name was Civil Security Laser Rifle (CSLR). Yeah, I have incidentally mixed two letters. It shoots laser, like that which we have in the LE, but on longer distance. Also, gun have 100% accuracy. Color suits more to Advanced Usurpator or Marine, not for the CS, but it was too late. This cylinder is magazine.

Second version.

Much better, eh? I have drawn it a few months after the first. It was so disgusting to remember that pixel art that my hands were literally combed. I call it Alien Laser Rifle because of color. Now it has the strip showing extent of heating and a safety lock which indicator will blink red if you shoot tool long time.

Third version. Made it in the beginning of 2015.

At first I have drawn it on paper.

Beautiful thing. I know that it is not a limits of my abilities, but my laziness is more boundless.
Now I call it "Heater". Why? Well, the more the enemy is under the influence of the laser, the more he heats up and the more receives an additional damage from the laser. It means that the enemy under fire of several such guns will just thaw as a snowman in the summer. Quite in style of Usurpers. Gun has rather small size that helps it quickly cool down. I has draw new battery magazine, and sight. Sight contains powerful spectral sensor, which shows the targets at huge distances and even through walls and also works as usual sniper sight. This blue strip is also displayed in HUD. It shows enemies ahead the firing line even if they are invisible, behind a wall or behind visibility limits. Length of a strip is equal to the maximum sight distance of Sniper Rifle's laser.

Something like that.
Red points on strip bar are live objects. The detector doesn't distinguish enemies and allies. Black points are obstacles. Purple are vehicles. It is possible to come up with something more.

In total.

As you can see it is similar to the recent new weapon from Eric. If in me there were less doubts, I would show it earlier. But it is not the final version since sights are unacceptable. But the idea quite good, because Usurpers don't have enough weapon. Besides it works differently with what Eric's weapon.

So what do you think about this guys?

[EDIT] More interesting things in my next posts.

Heard if anti aliasing m8? (pls tell me ur not using MS paint, go get gimp or something)

It would make it so much better than what you got currently. Other than that I think you just need to spend more time on it, and make things more ergonomic.

[LazyRain]

Your small text is absolutely right. It was MS Paint, m8 ) Just for all year I never changed it, despite of the fact that I had more better programs several months ago. It's too much laziness in me. I'll make new one soon or in a year.

Doesn't fit to be in pb2, fits in "Other Art" far too modern from PB2.

4/10

[LazyRain]

How about this new version?

hmm, that looks way more awesome than your old one. 11/10

Holy crap that looks amazing!
Small suggestions, remove the trigger (the other alien weapons do not have triggers oddly enough) and that symbol (I assume its the correction nine symbol from the loading screen).
Other than that, it could definitely fit in PB2.5, I'd suggest putting it up on the fan art for pb2.5 topic

I have taken it from the blue barrel. By this symbol I have closed empty space.
I didn't know what to put instead of it. So now there is a socket-thing.

I'm not sure about this part. Maybe turn it on some degrees or draw something else?
Also, I work on firing animation now.

[IIShadeII]

Looks so much better now that you're not using MS Paint.

Now my only critique is that it doesn't look very original. Looks too similar to the current alien rifles.

[LazyRain]

Alien assault rifle and Alien shotgun are similar mostly. And new Alien gun is looks like turned back Old alien gun. I have decided not to change this tradition. Besides I have not a lot of imagination.

eh, not really. I don't think it needs to look very different, either, considering the Usurpation weapons are generally all basic looking.

[Cpt Epsilon Tex]

Agrees. And why is there a alien shotgun and alien rifle version? The alien rifle version(yellow one) looks good. If you made how the projectiles would look like, and would make a shoot sound effect for it, and made a skin holding that gun, THEN i will like it c:

Agreed with remove the correction nine symbol..no needed.
About the name, if it would be called "Alien Blaster" it would be cool.

Also remove hair triggers. In pb2, rare thing if a gun has trigger:P. What about reloading? How much time would it take to reload? If it would be like Heavy Railgun CS-OneSOnek's reload speed,then im enough


Thank you, Cpt Epsilon Tex

@ Cpt
✶ I have made the first 3 versions in white color. But then I have decided to make 2 different options. Why not?
✶ It shoots laser, like Eric's new gun. I said it in my first post. About sound. I didn't work with sound and video editors yet.
✶ I said in my first post, that it's named ALR - Alien Lazer Rifle. Looks like standart name for alien weapons.
✶ There's battery:

Spoiler: Show More

I'll make reload animation for this. But below you can see shooting animations. The gun have cooldown time.

Also I made shooting animations:
White version
Yellow version
(Scroll it down a little)
As you can see, this weapon needs cooling, but it doesn't mean that it heats up in 2 seconds. It's just demonstration. Also it is recharged weapon. There is a battery for this. I'll made reload animation if i'll have time

Sorry for quality, In Flash it looks more beautifully.

[Cpt Epsilon Tex]

I would use bullets as rails. Like railgun but in red. That blue thing would be empty. And that red battery would flash in red while reloading

As for.name, ALR. If you give such a name it would be too short. Maybe you could give it a name: Alien Blaster U-ALR

Means Usurper-Alien Laser Rifle.

As for two.options,there are no similar weapons for pb2 except for red and blue versions of c01-r,p,and s. So yea

Plus what would be its slot? 4? 7? Maybe 9?

EDIT: Btw for laser it is not a problem. But then dont keep it that long. Maybe 1 seconds. Or quick.

✶ I initially wanted to make a laser rifle but not one more Railgun. That blue thing is a cooler. And I planned that the battery will change color when the charge ends. Flashes sounds interesting (more work).
✶ Full name will be "Alien Laser Rifle" or "Alien Laser Heater" or "Alien Heater".
✶ If this weapon will be implement in game, then it will be in the same slot as Eric's laser weapon. For balance.
✶ As I said It's just a demonstration. And did you attentively read the principle of work in the first post? It works by the principle of the heater. The damage on the target changes eventually on a geometrical progression therefore it quickly overheats. If the weapon will have upgrade levels, then time of constant fire before overheat will be: 5, 7, 9 and 11 seconds respectively. But it is necessary to work on balance or it will be OP.

[EDIT 17 Jul] I have made reload animation for White version. http://i.imgur.com/FdRpt5Q.gifv
[EDIT 06 Aug] I was tired to wait for you, guys. I has added glowing effect for White and Yellow versions.
