there was no gamedesign behind the number 17, but the reason i picked 17, was because it was my favorite number, and also because a famous american pistol called the "Glock-17" has 17 bullets in its mag. I originially intended to use a model of a glock for the gun in the game, but it turned out too rough so i used a design from my unfinished take on a "Balatro FPS"
