TF2 - Polypack - BANG!
Final Entry! Im battin a thousand!
So i saw this on the TF2 blog and i am new here and i can't miss this contest is pretty sweet!
I'll be making weapons for the Scout, since its my favourite class, here's some ideas, though these might not be good because these are gameplay ideas.
-//////////////////////////////////////////////////////// WIP ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Back to the FaN shotgun!
I gave up on the shotgun and made some hats
These are all viewport screeshots constant shader with diffuse, i might add some stickers to the hats i'll see, i am working on the story and trying to get v models working ingame...
Sorry no concepts or wips i made these in a few hours from scratch on 3D.
wip model
Force-A-Nature shotgun replacement sketches:
1 - Old School bat ( no name yet)
2 - The Skull Fracture (Might remove blood)
3 - No name
4 - Bonk, sorry i had to do it for fun, probably can't submit it since the logo is not mine
Dismissed, concept ideas (won't be submited)
When i say "or" it doesn't mean it does all of these, just one, i have to decide which.
Name: BING!BONK! or BING!BONG!
Melee weapon: Bat that shoots a bouncy ball (just like sandman) which if bounces 1 to 3(max) times on walls or ground before hitting an opponent will increase the damage for each time it bounces, and might eventually give mini crits for 3 second or speed if you knocked two enemies with one ball.
If first bounces on an enemy is does not multiply damage.
Reload time is about 20 seconds
Negative effects on wearer: - 15 Health
Name: SHOCK BAT! or HIT'N'RUN
Melee weapon: Shoots one sticky-ball or electro-ball or magnetic-ball which can disable engineer's objects(sentry dispenser teleporter)
for 5 seconds, also disables spy invisibly,or removes spy's disguise if you hit it.
Negative effects on wearer: - 15 Health
Reload time is about 20 seconds
Name: Spit Pistol
Secondary weapon: water gun which disable's engineer's (sentry dispenser teleporter) for 5 seconds, when shooting a cloacked enemy spy with it, make its visible because of the water droplets.
Reload time is about 30 seconds
These are just some quick ideas, the bat and the pistol do pretty much the same thing, so i'll probably be picking only one of the two, tell me what you think

Shock Bat Sketch
Don't think what could exist in a real 1950s. Think pulp sci-fi set in the 50s. Think pre-Golden Eye James Bond.
The elctro bat seems perfectly acceptable for TF2. It's essentially using the same idea as the Sniper's shield after all.
Yes i agree might be too futuristic, i made the ball have the TF2 log shape, as well as inspired from the capture point, since we've been warned about going off topic by doing gameplay design, i am going to work only on design changes only, i'll come back later to the Electro Bat.
1 - Old School bat ( no name yet)
2 - The Skull Fracture (Might remove blood)
3 - No name
4 - Bonk, sorry i had to do it for fun, probably can't submit it since the logo is not mine.
get that real "competitive gameshow" feel from it, it also lookes a tad more refined as a design..really like it alot!
I wanted to do #3 Bat but it turns out its way too much poly with the leather, a texture is not enough.
(texture not final, trying to get the model ingame still)
BonkBat Model RENDER
Some quick pistol design, definetly going to be something like #4 the others are too futuristic
Also I love that bat.
Teriyaki - Yeah definetly removing that, i though it was used on the animation but no and its much better without it, thanks.
Duoxan - Yes that hat is virtualy real, i made it and submited like one or two months ago (can't remember) and it didn't get picked by valve so far, i guess it covers too much of the face maybe or didn't please.
Anyway here's a wip of the model, trying to keep it low poly, new to low poly.
as for the barrel i had to reduce it, because i am not sure i can't change the position of the shooting effect... if anyone knows about that one, i'd like to know
Here's a comparation to the original, i know it doesn't change too much in general shape, but i'll make it stand out by a different use of colors.
WIP texture, no specular this is a 3D render will get it ingame another day...
You could go with "A Need for Speed" and make the pistol a larger clip/faster firing but less damage gun and go from there (Wings imply speed, no?). You could go with "Annoying Troublemaker" if you want to have him mess with Engineers and Spies game mechanics like your ideas.
I think you need more of a graphic theme, though, that ties them all together visually.
The theme is simple, Scout's prizes won in baseball games, sponsored by BONK! i will be illustrating with a little story once i get all the items done
I really like the theme, maybe putting "Bonk" somewhere on the pistol might make it a little more obvious though.
Keep up the good work, the baseball card idea sounds great.
I hope its not too colorful, one thing is sure i am going to tone down the yellow on the Bonk Bat or even replace most of the yellow by metal because i just noticed yellow is used in small amounts, i'll see when i put it ingame in TF2.
If you wonder about the "8" it was his baseball player number also he is the 8th brotha!
This is what i first did, but then i put the Bonk logo so people would get it actually is bonk, i have desaturated it a bit as Nrek sugested and Zipfinator, i got rid of red sox logo, yeah besides its red so that would be a problem for blu team.
Next item is the shotgun that's gonna be a lot harder! i want to make it for the Force A Nature, so far I am quite stuck with that design, i really want to keep it working the same way as rules specify plus it just less work to do with the bones/effects things ( it really is a pain to compile the models for TF2)
Did you read my comment and then made the Bonk! pistol?
If yes, THANK YOU! IT LOOKS AWESOME!
But the garish colouring is what makes it so great! I don't think it will be a problem, it certainly makes the bat very distinct which is great for differentiating it from the other scout bats. Now that I think about it, however, thats only the RED team colours, the BLU BONK! can has completly different colours! You might want to consider doing a BLU team version as well.
Blu: The Boston Blu Boobies ("Boobies are Birds" would be their tag line just for the lolz.)
Red: The Rapid City Runners (Its a city in South Dakota, I was just looking for cities in the US that started with "R")
As for like Athlete names on the cards maybe do stuff thats alliterative or giving the athletes last names that are symbolic for their team like, "Barry 'The Ballboy' Blureagard" or "Eddie 'Reddie' Redhandle".
Hell since these items are things the scout has won or sent in bottlecaps or some other 50's memorabilia for maybe you could use these Fake athletes in some of the designs. i can imagine the scout using a 'Bonk' brand Bat that just so happened to be signed by a famous ballplayer or something.
Just a couple of ideas.
STICKERS!
Stickers: Hats for your guns!
lol, let's hope not
but seriously, they'd fit with his juvenile behaviour. They could be anything, but I'd love if it were about the Badlands Brawlers
Come to think about it, no one ever made their team emblem, right?
