Cluster Missile
Laser Lance
I recently re-made some old Nuclear Throne mods I coded in highschool.
The Cluster Missile re-uses the super bazooka’s sprite + modified seeker bolt code. It’s mainly a reference to Ichirou Itano’s style of animating missiles. I never finished balancing the ammo cost, but my gut says around 6 explosives probably works
The Laser Lance was a mix of action anime’s flash step attacks + the god warrior in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The sprite is custom made, but the explosions are from the base game.
I would’ve gone for a long ranged beam to resemble the movie better, but that ability is used by an already existing character (Rogue). In return, I decided to make it a melee style attack, with the draw of needing sufficient space to avoid being hit by your own after explosions. The stronger ammo usage is to prevent boiling veins from completely negating the downsides.
These mods went on my college portfolio. I like to think they got me in to that program, in all honesty.
