i think the weapon maker is a little limited i have a couple ideas for some cool stuff to do with it though:

1. the art is challenging and limiting, maybe some kind of pixel art or simple hand drawing thing?
2. the choices of projectiles is very limited and doesnt allow for many unique things that are in the base game already, i think a projectile creator and more base templates for things similar to hot water/ crucible Etc.
3. You can not use a sprite that stays still and fires its own projectile, make it so you can have your weapon spawn a projectile and stay still, like the railgun

4. you cannot make something like the magic wand with randomly spawning projectiles, make some kind of thing where you can select a number of projectiles and it will pick one of them

do keep in mind i am pretty new to the weapon maker so some of these things might be possible but at the very least theyre not easy or obvious

i also do understand making a game is hard so dont stress yoursel(f/ves) to much

still very good game with cute art and a unique concept thats all i have for now though ill follow up if i get more ideas

I actually think you can do most if not all of the things I did with weapons with the item maker :) I can give you some idea of how I'd do it:

3. I actually used a slash-type weapon with a duration for the railgun. You can adjust the arc length + "duration" to achieve this affect. Then you use weapon effects to spawn projectiles out the end.

4. You can make a magic wand-type effect by using a multiweapon, and using multiple different items that each have their own weapon effects. Set the order to "randomized", and it'll cause a different effect each time.

thank you! keep up the good work, amazing game. i do like the idea of 1 and 2 though but dont stress yourself/selves keep working on whatever you working on or if youre not working on anything right now, thats fine. its a very good game.

For 2) You can use custom items in multiweapons and weapon affects :)

But yeah, we're not actively working on the game right now. Thanks for your encouragement though!!
