I've been experimenting with a new chain ability for Blast Vein, my biomechanical horror FPS.
This ability throws a chain that immobilizes enemies, giving you a chance to reposition or isolate tougher targets.
I'm still tuning it, so I'd love to hear your first impressions. Does it look satisfying to use?
Hey everyone!
I’ve been working solo on Blast Vein for about a year. It’s a biomechanical horror FPS inspired by old-school shooters, with a strong focus on atmosphere and psychological horror.
I just finished the first trailer, and I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. What feelings did it evoke? What stood out to you, and what could be improved?
I'm curious about the pacing. Do you think slower moments have a place in a boomer shooter, or should the action stay fast most of the time?
Blast Vein is a biomechanical FPS built around movement-driven combat and a dark, oppressive atmosphere. Inspired by boomer shooters, it focuses more on tension, sound design, and environmental storytelling than pure speed.
Working on Blast Vein.
It still has boomer shooter DNA (movement, combat focus), but the pacing and sound design lean more toward tension than pure speed — more atmospheric..
Curious where people draw the line: does “boomer shooter” require fast-paced gameplay, or is it more about combat feel and loop?
