"When your triple-barrel shotgun runs dry, there’s only one thing left to do..." In this week's feature, I want to share a melee weapon I’ve been working on for Hexborn, my roguelike boomer shooter drenched in Gothic horror and eldritch chaos. Inspired by Blood’s pitchfork and twisted execution tools from the medieval era, I wanted something raw, vicious, and just a little cursed. That’s how the H...
