Gunslinger' Player-Created Design Chosen: the Mookie Gun




    In October, Aion asked players to send in their ideas for unique pistols or cannons for the new Gunslinger class--coming in Aion 4.0. Now the player-created design is unveiled: the Mookie Gun, by Liiga Smilshkalne, aka Rakesh from the Israphel server. Below is Liiga's concept art and a video of the Mookie Gun in action.(1)



    Here is the interview with Liiga more about her design, her character in Aion, and her other works.
Aion: How long have you been playing Aion? What class and level is your main character?
Liiga: I've been playing Aion on and off for a long time now, though most actively since about 2.5. My main character is Rakesh on server Israphel, a lvl 60 cleric, which is by far my favorite class in the game.

    What was your inspiration for the Mookie Gun?
    If memory serves me right, the idea for the Mookie Gun sprouted from late night chattering with a friend and legionmate Aedus over the Leave your Legacy announcement that somehow somewhere lead to the idea of a Mookie gun which absolutely stuck. The rest of it came naturally in the wee hours of the morning with the aid of a large cup of coffee. Cheap Aion Kina

    Why Mookies?
    Mookies are by far my favorite type of critter in the game. They're bouncy, have beady little eyes and never open their mouths if they have any, which just means they all hide some terrible terrible secrets inside. Possibly guns.

    How excited were you to find out your design was chosen?
    Extremely so! Best e-mail to wake up to in a long time. I've got Mookies on the brain just waiting anxiously to see how the gun will look in action!

    We noticed you have a DeviantArt page. Would you like to tell us anything about it? Have you done any other Aion-inspired works?  Buy Aion Gold


   Since I usually stay busy with work I've yet to do proper Aion fan art aside from a quick sketch of a legion member's character - and I suppose now also the Mookie gun - but I've done a number of illustrations inspired by another NCSoft game, Lineage 2. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do proper fan art of Aion in the nearest future - the game is just too pretty not to.

Guilded: Guild Wars 2's Lost (Shores) Weekend



(1)


Like many horror stories, Guild Wars 2's Lost Shores event started with something crawling out of the sea. It happened last Friday at noon. This was a terrible time to for something to happen in an online game. People who had jobs were at work; people who didn't have jobs were still asleep. Since I fit squarely into one those two categories, I missed the start. But for better and worse, I was there for the rest of it, all the way through to the alternately ugly and glorious ending, and you can bet I got more than a lousy T-shirt. Next time you're playing Guild Wars 2 with me, check out the awesome earring on my left ear.

That's No Crab

The thing that crawled out of the sea was called a karka. Imagine a crab with a colourful, barnacle-encrusted shell around a weird alien body. The weird alien body has a vagina-shaped toothy mouth. It's like the female counterpart to Half-Life's Gonarch, which is a combination of crab and testicle. I see so many orcs, dragons, and spaceships that I can't help but admire when a game developer comes up with something truly freaky. The highest compliment I can pay the karka is that it looks like he belongs in one of the Odd world games.

A karka can lay eggs, which hatch hatchings, which then stick onto you like head crabs or face huggers, except they're not picky about where they stick. When you kill a karka, you haven't killed it. You have instead knocked off its armor, and now you get to fight it a second time to actually kill it.
