Thinking about the characteristics of weapons

The Heroic Legend of America: Second Revolutionary War - 特利安☆Torian

As the Sharps rifles arrived in Kansas and were assigned to their respective roles, a new problem arose. In history, one of our main characters, Edward Fitch, constantly complained that "the weapon I use now is not fit for combat" and repeatedly asked family and friends to send in Colt revolvers, preferably a pair.
The question is, the Sharps rifle is one of the strongest small weapons in the game, known for its high range, high accuracy, and fast rate of fire. Why did Fitch say that the Sharps rifle was no good and that the revolver was better, or even the only choice of weapons he wanted?
To understand this, it is necessary to understand what Fitch meant by fighting. In Kansas, for Free States, fighting usually did not mean opposing armies. It meant being robbed or even killed by border bandits who burst out on the road while they were traveling, and the same thing happened when Free States were working in their fields or sleeping in their homes.
Sharps rifles can be incredibly effective in regular warfare, but they're not very useful to civilians against sudden border bandits, where you need to be able to fire a lot of bullets in a split second and you don't need to worry about the hit rate, because you need to pin the enemy down as quickly as possible, and that's what makes a revolver a self-defense weapon.
In terms of average rate of fire per minute, the Sharps rifle is actually similar to a revolver, because the Sharps rifle division loads and fires a single shot, while the revolver can fire six rounds in one go but takes longer to reload. With this in mind, I programmed both series of weapons to attack twice per turn in the original.
Rethinking Fitch's complaint and request, I decided to adjust the weapon parameters, changing the revolver type weapon to three attacks per turn to highlight its suppressing effect, of course, if the actual test later found that the revolver became too powerful, I will reduce the hit rate of this type of weapon accordingly.
This successfully solved the problem of differences between the two weapons.
The revolver is also no longer a low-power version of the Sharps rifle, in the previous setting, in addition to the same two attacks, the hit rate and range are lower, the only significant difference is that the revolver is suitable for horseback combat, and after this update, the Spinner will have a stronger short and medium range suppression effect, and the character's own ability to improve the hit rate will be very helpful.

Welcome to the tropical bounty in the middle of the ocean: a land of untouched nature and stoning views! Roar Island is our first island and that’s where your gaming adventure begins. On this very island, you’ll learn more about the storyline, drop by the scientific research facility, and maybe crush a prehistoric party. It’s been a while since we started working on detailed sites of Roar Island, as a matter of fact, we still do. Right now we’re upgrading weather conditions and lighting to make them look more indigenous and spot-on.

Animation and cut-scenes

This month we've put our efforts into the animation improvement, focusing on main in-game enemies and also some cut-scenes. These are quite substantial for creating surroundings and various plot features. That is why we’re aiming not only to boost the animation quality but also to work into deeper emotional cinematics for you to dive into the ExTime: Primal Menace realm.

Optimizing game for our invaluable community

Image quality and smoothness play a pivotal role in the experience that you can get while playing. That’s why our efforts now are geared towards increasing the FPS so the game would run comfortably without decreasing productivity across various devices. Using the GTX1060 allows you to play at ease on recommended graphic settings even in the biggest locations. Moreover, further updates on this matter will bring even better rates.
