Serious Sam X Gunfire Reborn Prototype – Not sure if this counts as a boomer shooter – From /r/BoomerShooters

Hey all,
Been lurking here for a bit. I’ve been working on this prototype for a little while now and figured I’d post to gauge some interest.

It’s kind of a mix between Serious Sam and Gunfire Reborn — short, action-packed combat sequences with upgrade phases in between. I’ve been trying to make the upgrades feel meaningful. For example, if you upgrade your existing weapon, you unlock a completely unique ability (up to level 3, so 2 abilities per weapon).

You can also pick from various movement upgrades (like double jump, dash, wall jump), plus a range of passive upgrades.

The overall flow is shown in the latter half of the video, if anyone’s curious.

I’m also planning a synergy system — sort of like Vampire Survivors — where if you’ve got a maxed-out weapon and the right max level passive, you unlock a more powerful version.

Planning to run a small playtest in about a week. If anyone’s interested, it’d really help me out!
