CiCi's Pioneers Shotgun

A double-barrel shotgun for White Knuckle. First item-addition mod for the game.

Leadboard disabled

Features

Starts in players inventory at the beginning of every run
Double-barrel: two shots before you need to reload
Buckshot: 8 pellets per shot in a tight spread — lethal up close, weaker at range
Uses flare ammo: pick up flares to reload (one flare = one shell)
Hand-drawn pixel-art sprites for loaded, recoil, and empty states
Custom sound effects for fire, dry-fire, reload, break-open, break-close, and pellet impacts

How to use

The shotgun spawns in players inventory at the start of every run along with a pair of flares. Fire it like any other item — the usual left/right mouse button depending on which hand is holding it. Empty it, then press the reload button (with a flare in your other hand) to break it open and reload.

What's new in v0.2.0

Fixes

Fire animation plays more cleanly.
Fixed the "second shot eats the shell without firing" bug
Pellets no longer kill the player randomly or during a double jump.

New visuals and audio

Proper hand-drawn sprites. (By me: Li-0 on Discord)
First-person hand pose almost matches the shotgun grip (with a cosmetic equipped, an unused sprite)
Pellet hits leave a yellow marks on walls that fade to black
Full sound pass: custom fire, dry-fire, reload, break-open, break-close, impact

Known issues

Marrionete bug For some reason white hands are bugged and replaces with the merrionete variant, for now use any gloved hands. Working gloved hands (Best: "Leather Gloves", Second best: "Work Gloves (Any)", Winter Gloves.").
