The weapon I chose to design and create for the weapon assignment is an electrically modified water gun. The main functionality of the weapon is simply firing a stream of pressurized water out of the nozzles in the direction of your foes. The secondary functionality of the weapon it usable if the battery on the unit is charged and results in an electrified stream of pressurized water to shock your enemies into submission. The general theme and aesthetic choices of my designs are inspired by the 90’s era Super Soaker water gun designs. These brightly colored, pseud- futuristic, tubular PVC designs captured the imagination of children at backyard barbeques and pool parties alike. I think the combination of childhood nostalgia and Guantanamo Bay-esc electronic interrogation assistance devices makes a playful and dangerous weapon reminiscent of the Dead Rising franchise. I chose to create two color palletes, and the animation will cycle through them. The electric arcing is an animated texture in-game.
