Inspiration
Guns don't always feel great in Horizon Worlds. We wanted to make a robust template that allows creators to customize weapons to their liking with a ton of options to make them feel unique, powerful, and satisfying. This also includes the ability to show bullet impacts on hard surfaces and a splatter effect on and behind an enemy being hit by a weapon.
What it does
This asset provides a solid starting point for weapons that feel good and impacts that reward the player well with visuals and audio feedback.
How we built it
We built this as a starting point for another project but quickly pivoted once realizing how useful this could be for other players. We tested with a bunch of different enemies to make sure it was configurable for many types of worlds.
Challenges we ran into
Managing multiple pools that are shared across all players was a challenge. We made efforts to optimize things so that this can be configured by the creator to add or remove from these pools to tailor it to their needs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Overall, these weapons feel very good in almost any setting we put them in.
What we learned
There are considerations to make for open-source resources that typically aren't necessary when developing assets for use amongst ourselves.
What's next for Guns & Splatter
We will be using this in upcoming experiences!
