InSomnia - Kickstarter Update #43

Kickstarter update #43 - news about guns in InSomnia:

Guns: kill or be killed

Hello everyone! As we have already brought you some details about combat system and protecting yourself from the violent world of InSomnia, it's time to find out more about guns and their variety.

Energy weapons

Energy weapons will be quite different from what one might expect from them. Each energy weapon will require a skill that is relevant to it's characteristics. For example you will have to be proficient in "light weapons" skill to use laser pistol effectively, and be generally good with rifles whenever you want to use a laser rifle as your basic weapon.

The other feature of energy weapons you would want to know about is that they don't require any ammo - you will have to be equipped with the power generator instead. This portable battery will need to be recharged from time to time. It can be also used for other energy consuming equipment you want to get working.

Obviously energy weapons are high-tec and require certain knowledge and skill to be maintained properly. There will be several types of them including:

• laser weapons (instantly hits the target; damage is based on the distance; highly accurate)
• plasma weapons (fire rate is relatively slower; very effective against well protected enemies; high energy consumption)

The concept of impulse 

Impulse is the power that affects the target upon impact with the help of bullets, blast wave etc. Different types of weapons have their own impulse parameters which can be increased by certain features of your character. 

So what exactly impulse does? Based on the power of the impulse you are experiencing it can impact your aiming ability, any actions or attacks you were planning to perform or even knock you out for quite some time. This will work against your enemies as well.

...and even more guns!

See you next time!
