The Gun Nut
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is a game where you build weapons, from all kinds of different parts. Each has their own set of stats and behaviors. You can make handguns and rifles or sticky bomb launchers and laser guns. It's up to you, with more possibilities being added. Once you have your weapon, you can assign it to one of 3 load-out slots, then take them into battle! You choose maps (currently 2), mission types (currently 3), and from that you can level up and earn "scrap metal" which is used to buy more parts to make your weapons bigger and better.
Also a note, you can find the controls in-game in the Settings menu.
Anyway, please leave feedback! I'd love to hear your ideas or hear of any bugs and so on that you may find.

I have spent a decent amount of time playing this game despite there only being three modes and two maps. I would love to see this expanded upon with more parts, more maps, and more game modes. At the top of my wish list is a classic, wooden rifle stock for me to base my weapons around. X, Y, and Z drag arrows being an option for moving pieces when creating guns would be an appreciated luxury. Better enemy spawning would also be nice, as them just dropping from the sky (and sometimes right behind you) can be a bit frustrating. Finally, manual orientation of the weapon relative the player camera would be an appreciated feature. A very fun game that I hope to see updated.
Edit: No idea what's going on with the post formatting.
Hiya! I'm so glad you like this. I have good news and bad news. I won't be updating this version anymore, but I am gonna try to restart game project as soon as I can, and I want to thank you for reminding me because I meant to make a post about it on the page.
The main reason I want to reboot the project is that the code base got way too unorganized. I need to be more careful next time. Secondly, I want better quality models and textures. Finally, I was in a bad place when I was making this, and barely had time to continue, so I stopped. I now have loads of time and more experience, so I think I can make a much more high quality version!
Thanks for the feedback though, and I will definitely try to implement those features when I get the game going again!

I am happy to hear about the reboot and, more than that, I am glad to hear that you are in a better place currently. I do understand that code cleanliness can be a hassle, so your decision to start from the beginning again is understandable. I eagerly anticipate further news on the reboot and I wish you the best in your endeavors.
you should add a test option to test the guns
Sorry for the extremely late reply, but I have added quite a bit more! You can now test weapons, fight enemies, and level up.
I think that adding melee weapon parts would be good
