Inspiration comes from within.

So we found a problem: NO well made laser tag guns. So how are we going to improve it? In a few ways

Better customization.
We looked to games like Team Fortress 2 and Borderlands for inspiration on designing a more class based game. Having SMGs, snipers, shotguns. Guns that fit the way people wanted to play. Also names. You can name your gun:)

Bwa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!

Easier interface.
One of the huge pain points is teaching people how to use the guns. It should be easy, intuitive, and above all quick. Hongwei and I have slimmed down the interface to simply 2 buttons, trigger, and reload plus a nice screen.
Cool UI design bro.


Better Shells
Nerf guns are awesome and look cool. Perfect shell of our new guns. The players provide us a shell and we shove our new hardware into it. Bam, laser gun!
Almost too cool.

Next up we'll discuss how the guns are customized!
