I don't really come to Squidboards too often. However, I figured that since I made a concept art for a new kind of weapon type, I should share it.
Feel free to post your own thoughts and feedback in this thread and perhaps along with your own kind of weapon type ideas.
So here is my idea of how a "Pen" type weapon can work. When held down, you can travel quickly like a brush. When you tap, it does a spear-like attack animation. This animation, of course, slows your Inkling movement down. Depending on the balance of the weapon, it might 1-3 shot with a direct hit of the pen. During the animation, it leaves a thin ink line below it and at the end of the animation, it will do a Brella/shotgun ink spread at the end. You could also change this idea that instead of a thin trail, it just looks like a charger trail throughout. Inklings that weren't hit directly by the weapon but the shotgun spread at the end of the attack gets fall off damage.
Variations were stuff I found online. Fine type pen weapons will ink less but travel quicker while bold type pen weapons will travel slowly but ink more. Fountain pens affect the spread so there's less RNG to the shotgun affect while Rollerpoint pens will create more spread and RNG. There can be more variations thrown in, but these are the examples I made. They could probably throw markers and pencils and such in this category.
So, what do you guys think?
