[h2]1. Single Barrel Shotgun[/h2]
Our development team envisioned what it would feel like for survivors to hold this weapon in the post-apocalyptic world of The Midnight Walkers. We aimed to create more than just a gun — we wanted to portray the "will to survive" that emerges in a desolate world.
In the previous test, survivors had access to the Double Barrel Shotgun. While its powerful firepower captured players' attention, it also presented an unexpected overbalance issue. As a result, other weapons were overshadowed, pushing our team to rethink the situation.
Ultimately, the team decided not to abandon the shotgun entirely but to refine it. By transitioning to the Single Barrel Shotgun, we aimed to retain the shotgun's strengths while encouraging survivors to make more deliberate and strategic decisions.
[h2]2. Modeling Changes[/h2]
Here is the updated model of the Single Barrel Shotgun. To preserve the original atmosphere, we incorporated rusty metal pipes, worn leather, and aged tape to reflect the hardships and struggles of survival.
[h2]3. Performance Changes[/h2]
The Single Barrel Shotgun fires only one round at a time, but that single shot represents a survivor's decisive judgment. Every shot carries weight, making each decision meaningful.
With the shift to a single shot, the reload speed has slightly improved compared to the Double Barrel Shotgun. However, the tension of carefully managing each round will make the experience even more intense than before.
[h2]4. Conclusion[/h2]
We are currently conducting extensive internal tests to refine and improve the game. This effort extends not only to the Single Barrel Shotgun but also to newly added floors and zombies, all of which are undergoing rigorous evaluation and adjustment.
Our goal is to bring you closer to the day when you can wield this weapon and enjoy combat in Liberty Grand Center.
We sincerely appreciate the patience and support of all survivors, and we remain committed to delivering an even more polished gaming experience.
We’ll return soon with more exciting news.
Thank you.
