Any chance of a flamethrower? Think this would make a great weapon for a future build.

There was talks about this many months ago when the talks about the integration of a particle system was also mentioned. So I can easily see this coming sometime in the future. I do wonder if we'll be able to have enemies burst in flames. That would be a huge step beyond FPSCx9.

We will certainly be adding flamethrowers at some point. Code wise it's not a major undertaking, but we are currently focusing on performance and visuals once more.

You could spawn a charred corpse in place of the character you just killed instead of altering it's texture. (I have no idea how big of a difference that would make on resources, though.) Lua allows for that already, in fact, you could add several variations and use them randomly (or not randomly, of course)

Quite true. This is the same technique I had planned to use for my comp demo, but didn't have enough time.
