UPDATES!.. and raider gangs..

Oof been a while! Been a crazy few weeks but I'm still plugging away on the game! I'm working on getting a new vector video out, bear with me. got a case of the COVID at the moment so I'm finally gonna stop and write a blog post.. In the meantime I've been getting the artwork for each of the Raider gangs finalized. take a look!

The Scarbarians! your classic post-apocalypse "crazies" they are bright and colourful and will serve as the players' first enemies. each of the characters in the image denote a specific character class with their own skills and stats. I figure its a handy way to have variety in your hench-people that can be replicated across the board. In a nutshell Each gang has a boss, a brute (heavy weapon/melee), a sniper,

a mid range striker and a short range fast melee. With a lil bit of variance depending on the gang.

Next we got the mutants! creepy abominations that are designed for a more existential horror feel. May as well play with all of the tropes for the apocalypse!

Next the Bay Bros. Bay street being the financial hub of downtown I wanted to play with Corporate Bro Culture and execs. I figure the cut throat world of finance and business is a great place to foster some vicious post-apocalyptic gangs. With Inhuman Resources and Murders and executions the order of the day. the really put the "Hostile" into Hostile takeover! sorry couldn't resist that one.

The Maple Jays. I've been playing with this gang for a while. Though I may need to De-brand em for the final. Don't wanna get sued! Essentially with the three largest sport franchises so close to each other downtown, and Toronto having some of the most diehard fans on the Planet I figure you have to make them a force to be reckoned with in the game! The Raptors are there but I got no idea how to rep them in the name without it becoming too much of a mouthful. Working on it!

Lastly (well almost lastly) we have Hawk Security LLC. I thought it'd be funny if the richer areas of the city managed to escape the apocalypse by hiring a private army to keep things normal. The idea behind these guys is that they are a secret gang. Unaffiliated with the main quest. If the player encounters them too early, they will either be politely asked to leave the area or destroyed. BUT if you engage Hawk security at a let level, they hold some sweet legendary items and are the key to the final perk point to bring your character to it's final form.

So that's it! those are the gangs. Stay tuned for my next update, the final Villain is a doozy. The crux of the game even. they have their own little gang associated but nothing as complex as these guys. But.. yeah!
