Devlog 36


Wrote More Lore on things that I want In the game:

Lore
Odium was home to an advanced alien race, only traces of their existence are left, no one knows where they went. After the BIG BANG occurred there was a rush from all walks of life to find a place to set up home, ODIUM became that home. The discovery of alien technology caused the RECKONING to happen only leaving the poor and most unwanted people and criminals behind to fend for themselves on this war torn planet. 
People naturally split into CLIQUES each CLIQUE took a specific territory to call their own. No one knows how but a mysterious man named BUBBA came up providing each CLIQUE with all sorts of supplies, most that no one has ever seen before creating a monopoly among the CLIQUES becoming the only trusted DEALER on ODIUM. BUBBA creates guns made from the scraps of alien machinery, items from the old alien relics with what seem like “magical” properties, and Tonics from several questionable liquid sources on this planet that grant the users new physical abilities.

Rin
While people were splitting into CLIQUES there were few who decided to be on their own instead of having to answer to anyone. These people became known as DRIFTERS, many died early on because of the strength and numbers of the CLIQUES being too strong, this meant only the truly formidable were left and now the name DRIFTER carries fear to those who speak the name. 
Rin is a DRIFTER, a human born off world but dumped here by unknown reasons as a young child. He was recruited at a young age by a Gang known as the Unicorns, One of the largest Gangs on ODIUM. Rin quickly became the top swordsman in the gang by age 16, he was used as one of the clans Bounty Hunters to go collect from the deadliest Outlaws in ODIUM, after a Hunt went suspiciously wrong, Rin was stripped of his rankings. After that day Rin broke into the vault and stole a bunch of treasure and abandoned his CLIQUE to become a DRIFTER. Inside the masses of treasure he stole was a Deadmans Crown. After placing the crown on his head he gained more power then he ever had before, but he was forever cursed with the Greed for more. And there was only one thing that he wanted more of and that was more… Crowns.

Blades
Rin uses a contraption on his hand to produce an energy blade right in the palm of his hand. It was created by the famous engineer Stix when he was still in the Unicorn gang. Every time he would use a regular blade he would either cut himself or break the blade in how reckless he would swing the blade, So Stix fashioned a blade that he could “Sheathe” right in the middle of a stroke and would never break but always have an edge that would cut. You can modify the energy output at the Brewer.

ScrapBot
Rin modified a ScrapBot to follow him around. It can get different weapon attachments from The Scrapper So Rin can always have a ranged form of defence/offensive. The ScrapBot also acts like a sort of animal companion for Rin since he’s a DRIFTER times can get Lonely so it can be nice to have his Little ScrapBot to keep him company. 

Booster
Rin has a Booster attached to his back that can give him a momentary boost of speed and cloaks him in the process making it possible to dive into dangerous close combat situations. This piece of equipment can be upgraded at the brewer making it more of an offensive tool, Defensive tool or just enhance its speed capabilities.

Utility Belt
Rin has room for a singular item on his Belt. The Item on this belt can be a physical item like a scatter grenade to imbuing him with a magical ability like fire pillars.

Bubbas Shack
Bubbas Shack is the one place where anyone can come to relax, buy new weapons, and pick up new bounties. The Scrapper is known for gathering old alien machinery and turning them into functional guns. Every time you enter the Shack he will have something new to sell you, because these guns are made from scrap they end up breaking if you get the snot beat out of you. The Alchemist is responsible for tinkering with old alien relics and creating new inventive items for you to take into the field all the same rules apply to items as they do when you purchase guns from the Scrapper. The Brewer has a set list of Tonics for sale, here you can purchase tonics to change up your basic physical skills. Last but not least Bubba himself is where you can browse the daily selection of Bounties that you can take with you out onto the field and best thing of all you get paid right on the spot when you finish a quest no need to take it back to Bubba to turn In because by the time you get back he’s going to have something new for you and someone would have collected the old bounties by then.

Shifting Frontier
The Third largest landmass on the planet is called the SHIFTING FRONTIER.  It is an extremely hot desert like area with Exposed stone, dried grass, bulbuss cactus, rolling tumbleweeds, Spiky Plants, Flowers, Dry bulbous Trees. This area is a place in constant conflict with the two Gangs trying to control this huge territory. BULLET HOLES, EXPLOSION CRATERS, DEAD ROBOTS are riddled through out this WARTORN land. The main CLIQUE of this territory is known as the TUMBLE WEED GANG.

Tumbleweed Gang
The Tumble weed gang was created by their leader known as the HIVE KING. He holds the crown of summoning. He was once human but was very lonely and an outcast, He discovered the Crown of summoning and decided to use its gift, once placing it on his head it turned his heart to metal and his body soon after. He used the crown to amass a great following in his image, these followers became known as KIN. KIN are not mystical beings they are simply robots built through the power of the Crown. They are powered by the sun through SOLAR PANELS, They also have an affinity to a WESTERN theme since the Hive King when human was obsessed with Old School Wild West TV Shows, They all seem to be covered in TUMBLEWEEDS to hide their vital parts and blend in with the scenery.

Hyenas
The Second gang that occupies the Frontier are known as the HYENAS. Once poor delivery workers when the RECKONING happened they took the roads and became scavengers. They steal and recruit those who they steal from. They are known for jumping into battles when things are about to end so they can have the upper hand. Hoods with mains, Tattered clothing, with filter masks, quick shooting weapons, and throwing knives, These are the visual clues that your staring down a HYENA. The leader of the HYENAS is a large muscular woman named HILA. She is a master at evasion, Her main Weapon is her infinity daggers that she can throw with immense speed and accuracy. She holds a Crown of Teleportation which makes her already nimble movement even harder to pinpoint. Besides her Blades and Crown she is most known for her Cocky attitude. Her followings adopt her cockiness through and through.

Caves
Beneath the Frontier are the Caves. A cold, mossy place with warm candle lighting, Glowing Mushrooms, and plants grow near light openings. Old Alien glyphs litter the walls. And the stalagmites seem like pillars. An underground stream runs through the Caves that spits anyone out who tries to go for a swim. Metal Scrap, Stone Carvings, Damp Cloth all brought down from the surface by the Cult gang that lives here are scattered through out the cave. 

Skull Gang
The Cult Gang is Obsessed with Skulls. Every member wears a skull mask depicting their rank within the group, Most Wear Various types of Robes. The leader goes by the name Mystic One. The Mystic One Wears the Crown of Spells and presents himself only as a giant skull to strike fear into his people and intruders. He blesses his people with the ability of alien magic making the use of guns near extinct for the Cult Members though very low members can be seen with blades until they are promoted. 

I also added basic code for player death. And I’m exploring changing the look of the main character.
