NOTE: All blog posts will now be posted in this Boosty, where they will be public to everyone. This is mainly due to the 2000-character limit that Discord has and another form of communication and archival in case the Discord is taken down.

Sorry for the long break between the last post. But I have quite a few additions that the made for NAS, especially the combat systems. There is now an explosion and fragmentation system made for explosives and hollow-point rounds. 

One of the main things that needed to be made for the weapon rework are explosions and fragmentation. A lot of this stuff is internal, but it means that even if the explosive doesn't get a direct hit, or is nullified due to resistances, the explosion can knock them out or even kill them. There is a boltgun and a Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle to show off the power of explosive weapons. There's also a high-explosive slug for 12-gauge shotguns like the HK512 and H&R Topper.

The real addition is the newly renovated weapon development menu. This is now significantly faster and now supports weapon presets, as well as the ability to develop achievements and the ability to create a weapon from a template.

Big update when it comes to the weapon rework. Basically now every weapon is now a unique entry in your weapon inventory, which makes it easier to track what weapons have attachments, allow for individual weapon durability, and fixes the random weapons issue

## (NAS)

Slow couple of weeks today, just that my motivation has been waning for a bit.

New weapon customization system and a rework HUD. Weapons are now modular and their stats are now generally based on their attachments. I've been also working on a reworked HUD that matches a new style that I'm going for.

## Weapon Rework

Weapons are now based on a general "platform" such as a `direct impingement automatic intermediate rifle`, `rotating-bolt automatic intermediate rifle`, `pump-action 12ga shotgun`, and more. This helps curve weapon bloat because of how there's only a few base weapons shown instead of having 15 AKs and 5 AR-15s. Variants can be switched between by changing the preset or major parts such as the receiver. This also allows for easy generation of custom weapons that characters spawn with, as presets now inherit the tags that weapons once had.

Not much happened this week, mostly just did some work on more spells and passives, as well as some bug fixes

Danamku skills from TW are now passives that can be equipped by you or any Touhou with a high-enough Danamku level to gain a buff. All Touhous will have their innate Danmaku skills equipped.
