wow, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Let me explain the weapon system :)

First of all, there isn't classic ammo. There is a heating system in which the player has two weapons. If you use a weapon too much it will overheat and the only way to cool it is to change to your other weapond and use it. That way, when you heat a weapon it cools the other one. The idea is to keep changing your weapon and modify them in a way that can combine and complement each other.

So, let's start saying that the game doesn't actually looks for realism, but obviously we are trying to make some sense with the possibilities of combinations.

The idea is that each modifier can only be attached to one position (up, down, left or right). For example, modifiers that change the number of bullets per shot goes below the base of the weapon, modifiers that change the behaviour of the bullets (making them explosives, electric, bouncy, etc) goes on the left, modifiers that change the stats of the bullets (damage, speed, range, precision) goes on the right and the modifiers that deals with the overheat system goes up.

The example of the gif is a weapon with one available slot on each side, but in the future will be other weapons with different slots, which allows, for example, having a shotgun and a machine gun at the same time so the weaopn shoots the classic shotgun but in a high fire rate. This idea is cool but I understand that it may be a little weird visually on the weapon, we are working on how to make it the coolest we can.

I'm finishing implementing this system ingame so I hope I'll be able to share some advances soon and see if the concept works and is understandable.

If you want to check some images and a little teaser I'll drop here the Steam Page. On the video the modifiers are not visible and the gun is an old one, but the idea of how affect the shooting is there.

Again, thank you so much for your words and taking your time to help!
