I decided to join this low poly competition for fun, and i think i have an awesome idea for a new minigun design

[requiem2d]

Bring it on & good luck !

[Abdi87]

Ok this is what i have so far, im sure you will get the idea now:



Ok let me explain... This beast is going to need 2 hands to work, it has 2 massive machine gun barrels which have the same rate as the mini guns (fires the same amount of bullets per minute :P), 2 laser sight aims(where the wire goes to the screen), ammo and temp counting screen, the joystick is used for firing the weapon and the little tunnel area for the right hand is holding the main weapon steady while aiming with the lasers and firing. And yea thats what i have so far, more details on the model coming soon

thanks

Reminds me of big, clunky retro-sci-fi. Before Alien came along and made everything look possible, old sci-fi like Battlestar Galactica, Logan's Run, etc was all ridiculous shiny boxes with giant buttons on it (example: the conference phone on Darth Vader's chest). Maybe not the best style to approach for an Unreal based competition.

The weapon aiming system is completely counterintuitive. You have to hold it steady with one hand while aiming it with another?! Just point it with you right hand and shoot!

Wrote this before, so I'll paste it here too, “Unreal weapons never show the hands. This is due to the high variety of characters the user can choose from.”

You've got a good start going, in other words, remove some things and do some more unreal. The aiming system can be done away with, but you can keep the main weapon and start adding some curves and possibly a grip for the left hand to hold the gun steady. Also a 3rd barrell-set would be nice. Also stylize the left side of the body, very visible ingame

ok sorry my bad guys, i will redesign this. Give it more a unreal feel and remove the left stick Will work on it after i come back from uni

adios

Extend it so you can add a front grip, remove the silly joystick, and keep the right hand into the bottom of the gun (on the trigger) concept. It just needs to be longer, that's all.

Redesign, now ive got this. Better? Will add more detail

a much better design this time. The wires look a bit strange though, they are a nice detail but I doubt you would have exposed wires on a gun like that. good improvements though
